Has anyone tried: alsamixer -c 0 or alsamixer -c 1

[Blaze]

brokenman, yep. Look at these screenshots

[Bogomips]

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ alsamixer -c 0

Works for me.

@alexgorr, @brokenman
1) With the solution of Jay, the issue alsamixer should be considered as solved.

2) Anyway I observed, the version I have was compiled/modified by fanthom; it has his suffix ftm. Maybe Tom did it so that the user does not have to add the arguments -c 0 or -c 1. I guess he could hack this new version to get the same effect of not having to type the arguments by every call....

The issue comes from pulse now handling sound and /etc/asound.conf points to pulse. If you redo asound.conf pointing to your sound card (perhaps using the sound settings in porteus settings centre) then alsamixer should work ok.

Cinnamon 64bit

I just rebooted and the nice picture is gone and a blue screen.

[brokenman]

Please try to be more thorough in reports Jack. That information doesn't give me much to go off. I really need to know what you were doing before it happened. Were you saving changes. Did you use firefox.

From what I can gather this occurs after one has been using firefox for some time. I can't reproduce it here.

When that happen I power down or turn off the computer. When I turn the computer back on then I seen the blue screen. I formated the USB with ext4 and when I power off it save all setting in the change directory in the porteus directory on the USB. So all I did is turn off and later back on.

[brokenman]

Thanks Jack. Were you using firefox before you shutdown?

[Jack]

Yes I was using Firefox before I shout down I might have forgot to close it before I shut down.

[brokenman]

Thanks. I've noticed when I have firefox running and a video then simply scrolling firefox pushes the xorg process up to 70-80%. It's chewing the CPU like candy.

Can you please show me the output (while firefox is activated) of: ls -la /home/guest
