Q: GNU/R 'no audio drivers are available'

Error message as in title shows up in console when trying to execute play() function from audio package. I found plenty of references to this question, but link provided in the answer is dead. How to load a driver into R?

kos

@Seth Yeah that works in Zsh, but apparently not in Bash.

Seth

wat

you're right!

forgot my default shell was zsh -.-

terdon

@kos Sure you can

Seth

6:08 PM

@ByteCommander nice! Any reason you didn't upvote the question?

voting is important people!

kos

@Seth Classic. :D

@terdon Yeah, but I don't understand why it shouldn't interpret it literally. It's also a built-in, shouldn't Bash now that the argument was enclosed in quotes (shouldn't -> rehetorical: does actually Bash just ignore that?)

terdon

@kos Quotes don't affect options. Try ls "-l".

A much better question is why in the world does echo "-n " work? That's -n with a space after it.

Ah! Because -n (with the space) is not a valid option, so it's ignored. Just like echo -J or whatever.

Seth

seriously though, printf is the right answer here IMO.

terdon

True.

kos

@terdon Ok that and some random strace tests enlightened me on why it wouldn't make sense the opposite. :D

Byte Commander

6:23 PM

@Seth I didn't? Oh, you're right! Corrected that.

But other than that, I'm one of the most busy voters here on the site... So no need for the second comment, if that was directed at me only. ;-)

user136984

Oh, you mean that they are not following the code of conduct?

user136984

kos

@terdon Maybe I involuntarily started this. Hope @intex didn't mind what I told them yesterday, it was not meant to be offensive, my bad if that came across as such. Simply reading their usual messages and having been the second or third time he had pinged me asking whether I followed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct (and maybe other unrelated things, I can't remember) I felt like asking him if he ever posted something that made sense.

A.B.

6:37 PM

Come on folks, bounty started askubuntu.com/q/700860/367165

kos

@intex It wasn't meant to be offensive at all though. Possibly I should have used different words, and if you got offended by that then I sincerely apologize. But really, sometimes I don't understand what you mean when you write certain messages, expecially when you write them to me.

@A.B. I'll have to rewrite my half-script before posting it, I'm not too happy with it.

Q: Low quality edits are being robo-reviewed on Ask Ubuntu

I had an edit proposed on one of my questions, and since it did not offer much in the way of improvement, I rejected it. It encouraged me to explore the editor's edit history, where I found a mix of good and bad edits. Sadly a number of the edits that were either of debatable improvement or activ...

discussion review suggested-edits

quake120

So on Saturday night, I was doing some web development and suddenly my audio stopped working, and my computer locked up. I couldn't get it to respond AT ALL. CTRL+ALT+F3 (or other function keys) did nothing. CTRL+ALT+DEL, nothing. I even tried the magic sysreq keystrokes...Nothing.

So I hit the reset button on the front of the computer...

It boots back up no problem, but then my audio in Ubuntu? Gone completely.

I checked if it got muted and the volume...Nope, not muted, volume is fine.

Byte Commander

What an edit! askubuntu.com/revisions/701618/2

quake120

I tried another audio source (Spotify) and nope...Nothing.

So I checked to see if pulseaudio was running. Yep.
pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio -D

...nope, still no sound.

terdon

6:54 PM

@quake120 boot from a live CD or into another OS if you have one installed and make sure the audio works there.

quake120

pavucontrol ...checked mute there and also the output settings. All are fine. At this point I thought maybe my motherboard had a problem (seeing as it locked up before), so I switched to Windows and the audio worked fine. I booted back over to Linux and did sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio --purge
sudo apt-get remove alsa --purge

Reinstalled both

Byte Commander

@quake120 Wait, I have no idea about the sound system of Ubuntu, but as it looks like you're going to dump a long story here into the chat, you should maybe better consider writing a question on the main site first where you can properly collect and format all the information.

quake120

Still no audio... So I started poking around with the audio menu on the ubuntu menu and there's another mixer...that is muted

Me: Fffuuuu.... How many audio mixers do you need, Ubuntu?!

terdon

Yeah, sounds like a good candidate for a question. Make sure to mention that you've checked and the audio works in a different OS.

quake120

That was the end of the story

It works fine now

terdon

6:56 PM

Ah, you just needed to vent? I know the feeling :)

quake120

It wasn't a question so much as it was a story about a frustrating 45 minutes troubleshooting Linux audio

I mean I tried alsamixer, pavucontrol, the mixer in the system tray area, and the audio settings control panel...ugh. It was some other one that must have gotten installed somehow. Really annoying.

terdon

And that's not Ubuntu's fault, really. Much as I enjoy bashing Ubuntu, this one comes from upstream. Audio in Linux is problematic. Or can be.

@quake120 Which one? Do you remember? Was it GUI or commandline? Are you using OSS, or ALSA as well as pulse?

da Boss

@NathanOsman to answer your question, the backups are just not showing up.. via the web management page or when I SSH there is nothing in the directory (sorry I had to leave abruptly.)

kos

Lol. "The old switcheroo"

quake120

I agree...Audio in Linux needs some serious revamping. I was trying to get it to connect nicely to my 7.1 surround sound receiver via SPDIF and I could never get it to work just right.

@terdon It was GUI, and not related to ALSA or pulse because I had checked both of those and neither were muted, so it must have been OSS. I actually had another one called jack for awhile trying to do some kind of audio measurement, so that could be it, too

terdon

6:59 PM

Ah, yes. Jack could indeed have been it.

quake120

On a positive note, I upgraded my memory:
shaun@shaun-pc:~$ free -g
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 21 8 13

22GB of RAM :D

Now I can run Android Studio and an emulator without constantly having my machine freeze for minutes at a time and my system load numbers going into the 12's

Hmm... I want some more good questions! Need 31 more points today until 200.

kos

7:28 PM

@ByteCommander I vote no.

Byte Commander

If I wouldn't have spent that bounty, I already had reached 200 today.

@kos no to what?

kos

@ByteCommander To "is it valid enough?"

A.B.

@ByteCommander Your limit today is 180

sorry, 180

Byte Commander

Uhm... why?

I'd have thought that if I spend 50 points, I can earn 50 more points.

A.B.

200 + 2 accepted answer = 230 - 50 for the bounty

=180

Terrance

7:31 PM

How do you find out the limits?

A.B.

@ByteCommander do you mean?

kos

@ByteCommander Actually you can profit from other 6 upvotes and from unlimited bounties / acceptances

A.B.

@ByteCommander no, 180. See here:

Byte Commander

Aww.... Then I'd need two more accepted answers. That will be hard!

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander Now you have the 180 @A.B. was talking about ! :)

Byte Commander

7:35 PM

Yep. 20 more needed :P

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander what about three upvotes?

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander no - see this : chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/25637702#25637702

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 Well, if A.B. is right, I can't get any more rep from upvotes today. Only from bounties and accepted answers because of the 200 daily limit.

kos

@A.B. So bounties offered decrease the maximum you can earn?

Zacharee1

oh

A.B.

7:37 PM

@kos Yes :(

@cl-netbox But I would still 20 more points to count for the LEGENDARY badge, I think.

@ByteCommander No, if you have reached 200 it counts, also if you offer a bounty after that. But first you have to reach 200

Terrance

A.B.

@Terrance :D

Therefore. 1. Get 200, 2. After that, offer a bounty

o_O askubuntu.com/q/701675/367165

kos

7:44 PM

@A.B. I'm not happy with it. I'll post it later or tomorrow, it changes the structure of /etc/apt/sources.list and I don't like that, because I'm not sure if software-properties-gtk then adds up its stuff and messes things.

A.B.

@kos I think, the structure is like bananas

In German: Das ist Banane

kos

@A.B. The weird thing is that every time i delete /etc/apt/sources.list and re-create the list using software-properties-gtk the list is different (sometimes all components are condensed in a single line, sometimes they're spanned over two, etc)

A.B.

@kos o_O funny

Byte Commander

@Seth User askubuntu.com/users/403746/subhadip-roy recently proposed a great bunch of tag edits where most of them are not really useful (just adding e.g. 14.04 or 15.10 even on not version-specific issues). You want to have a look at him? (and maybe a word)

kos

@A.B. I think it tracks the latest modifications done using it and that this affects the new file. If I can't improve the script I have I think I'll look at the source code of software-properties-gtk and try to create a front-end for to it, maybe it's easier

I didn't correct it either, but I didn't call in reinforcements to answer the question... I was just saying that if you felt like it deserved attention enough that you would specifically bother someone else with the question, that you

would fix the typo in the question title.

@ParanoidPanda Well, @RPiAwesomeness's avatar is a goat and he started the meme of saying "upgoated" instead of upvoted and now most here use it...

Seth

@ParanoidPanda here's another good one youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ :P

What? I thought it was a giraffe! :D

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda Yes! You're the brown one on the left with the red eyes

Seth

@Fabby upgoated's been around for quite a while..

Fabby

@Seth yeah, but apparently Schizo Panda missed it...

terdon

Yeah, since 2012 apparently. And RPi wasn't the originator.

Fabby

@terdon ah!

I give you the upgoat(similar to the flying pig from the best rfc ever):

user136984

@Fabby: Ah, I can't see any external images unless they are on imgur...

terdon

upgoated that and your other question

Fabby

I stand corrected

Zacharee1

@terdon interesting that you have that on demand

GeoMint

@Seth @Zacharee1 i added i386 to my 64bit ubuntu gnome virtual box and trying to fixed it removed everything

terdon

10:50 PM

@Zacharee1 I just searched the transcript. There's a little search box on the top right of this page.

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda open in new window

GeoMint

fcking skype

Zacharee1

It goes back that far?

@GeoMint lol

GeoMint

yeah

user136984

@Fabby: The website is blocked... :P

terdon

10:50 PM

Apparently. It is also not very common. There are only 31 hits for upgoated and 51 for upgoat.

user136984

It's a whitelist system.

Zacharee1

now to make a Yosemite install USB so I can reinstall Mac on my mom's computer

guh

terdon

@ParanoidPanda And you allow imgur!? A site where anyone can upload anything?

GeoMint

how do i remove i386 architecture from dpkg ? :(

terdon

:25643598 I wish. No, that's PP and his "security concerns". :P

user136984

10:52 PM

@terdon: No, it's just that then I won't be able to see anything here if I block imgur too... :P

Fabby

@terdon He's going to be a great security researcher: he just attracts malware

>:-)

I'm off to bed! Good night everyone!

terdon

@GeoMint dpkg --remove-architecture i386.

kos

Night @Fabby o/

terdon

@ParanoidPanda I know, it just seems silly to block so may innocuous sites and leave one that is actually inherently dangerous.

user136984

@terdon: Well, I could make it so that I can't see imgur images, however then how would I see anything on this site?

GeoMint

10:55 PM

@terdon i have to delete my vbox. "can not remove non-foreighn architecture" and sudo apt-get update not working :(

terdon

@ParanoidPanda No idea, you're the one who wants to block images. I just don't understand how, given your paranoia, you allow a site that lets anyone upload anything anonymously. If a dangerous image is to be found, that's where it'll be.

GeoMint

i hate skype and its i386 arch

terdon

@GeoMint No snapshots you can roll back to?

Hang on, that message would suggest you're actually running a 32 bit system. What does uname -a tell you?

GeoMint

@terdon nah... i didn't think i could make such a mistake :(

user136984

@terdon: Ok, well I disabled imgur... Now I can barely see anyone's profile picture... :P

GeoMint

10:56 PM

vivd

terdon

@GeoMint Well, if it thinks that i386 isn't a foreign architecture, that would suggest you made it.

I think anyway.

user136984

Except for a few which is strange...

GeoMint

@terdon typo... sorry

terdon

@ParanoidPanda Gravatars, probably. And I wasn't trying to get you to block that too. I was trying to point out that you're being paranoid.

GeoMint

@terdon sudo apt-get update is not working so i will do a clean install of 15.10 tomorrow

they can not even make a usefull app in microsoft :(

skype takes 200MB ram even in windows computers just excisting

terdon

10:59 PM

Yup. I remember when skype was excellent. Before it was bought by Microsoft. Light and a native Linux client and everything. Sigh.

user136984

@terdon: So you thought you'd increase my levels of paranoia? :P

GeoMint

@terdon BEFORE

user136984

@Fabby: Goodnight! :)

user136984

Anyway, goodnight guys! :)

terdon

@ParanoidPanda No, I was hoping you would realize that it's unhealthy, counter productive, basically wrong and ultimately pointless.

user136984

11:00 PM

Hope the beds don't bite!

GeoMint

@ParanoidPanda goodnight

user136984

Or I think it was something like that... :D

terdon

Might have been some bugs in there too :)

kos

Night @ParanoidPanda! Tomorrow you'll tell me exactly what happened for you to be demoted from "Toroidal" to a way more mild (paranoid) panda. :D

terdon

I wouldn't try beating your bed with a shoe until it's black and blue, for example.

@kos He decided to own his paranoia. Sadly, his paranoia also decided to own him.

kos

11:02 PM

Makes sense. :D

Mateo

11:19 PM

ah man some steam machines were like $200 off and I missed it, all sold out

wow, the zotac ones are sold out too

GeoMint

wow

RPi Awesomeness

@Fabby Wait...I started it? o_O

I'm pretty sure that was a thing before I changed my avatar

Anyone here good with regex?

I need to figure out a way to check for markdown & swap it out for HTML

user139252

I cannot sudo su into nobody D=

Zacharee1

wat

kos

@RPiAwesomeness What do you want to do exactly?

RPi Awesomeness

11:34 PM

@kos I need to find a way to take markdown (* WORDS * for italics, ** bold **, etc.) and convert them to their HTML counterparts

kos

How about this? manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/markdown.1.html, maybe it's more pratical than building your own engine.

RPi Awesomeness

But it has to be done in Javascript

kos

Looks like an extensive task, are you sure there are no APIs / frameworks in JS to do that already?

RPi Awesomeness

Probably are, I'm looking into that now
