Hey guys, quick question that I didn't know if I should post or not:

So after I connected a device to my laptop with bluetooth, I turned off my laptop before manually disconnecting from the device. When I powered back on, I still have the latency correction while using the laptop speakers, so the video is about a second ahead of the audio. Any solutions?

(By the way, it was a bluetooth speaker)

Also, it's hard to tell as to whether it's pulseaudio or something else. On youtube, it's delayed by a second. However, in VLC, it glitches out and gets blurry, and slows by about .5 seconds.

Yeah okay, might as well post it

Okay, turns out I solved my own problem. In Pulseaudio Volume Control I went to the output devices, then clicked advanced under my laptop speakers, and found that the latency correction was set to 1000 ms. Simply changed it to 0, and we're back!

Q: What live OS with reasonably small size that I can use to rescue files on a laptop?

I only have two flash drives: 4GB and 1GB. I would like to create a bootable flash drive for a live Lubuntu installation, so that in case my very old laptop's Lubuntu can't boot, I can rescue my files by booting into the live Lubuntu out of my flash drive. Since lubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso ...

@Varuna I dont see anything weird? He placed the launcher at the bottom. That's an option for the launcher. It ould also be an extension though ( extensions.gnome.org/extension/3/bottom-panel ) He uses flat remix icons. github.com/daniruiz/flat-remix

@Melebius Oh, don’t let Zanna see this… ;) Seriously, I don’t think this other question is of any help here, the manpages etc. contain even less information on this exact matter than the online documentation. — dessert 39 secs ago

hahaha yeah

already voted Leave Open on that one

sorry for the pingpong

Zanna

oh no, I'm glad you pinged me so I could enjoy your comment XD

I don’t always agree with you when it comes to this, but this is crystal-clear.

As I wrote most of the Q&A it actually doesn’t matter where people leave their upvotes. ;P

Zanna

lol

IMHO, the ability to close stuff as a dupe is not given to us to prevent people getting rep or to spare people the effort of writing answers... it's to avoid having a million more-or-less poor copies of the exact same thing and avoid duplication of effort
