Re: Sound muted or turned low
#!/usr/bin/env bash # file: fixpulse.sh - script to back out of broken pulse configuration cd $HOME cd .config rm -fr pulse echo "bad pulse is wiped out, so reboot." That's script that ought to clear any future pulse problems so long as pulse keeps its user configurations in the same place in coming years.

Re: Sound muted or turned low
no! you type rm -fr ./.config/pulpulse ; reboot That semicolon allows more than a single shell command on a line.

Re: Sound muted or turned low
Hello. Thank you for what I have so far. I mounted the hard drive, am and in the home dir now.’Do I type rm -fr And then enter? And on next line Type $HOME/.config/pulse;reboot Thanks, I am using an ubuntu mate dvd, even though my system has a different ubuntu type. > On Aug 20, 2018, at 7:51 AM, Jude DaShiell wrote: > > Another shorter possibility is rm -fr $HOME/.config/pulse;reboot > When pulse returns on reboot, system defaults will return. > On Mon, 20 > Aug 2018, Nick Wood wrote: > >> Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2018 07:54:17 >> From: Nick Wood >> To: ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com >> Subject: Re: Sound muted or turned low >> >> Hi Daniel, >> >> When this has happened to me I usually find that removing or renaming the >> .config/pulse directory in my home folder is enough to reset everything. >> >> Can you SSH into the machine from somewhere else, or log in as a different >> user? >> >> I have learned to have a second user account set up so that if I mess up the >> sound on my main user I can still log in with sound to sort things out. >> >> I guess you could boot off the live DVD, open up a terminal session and >> rename >> the /home//.config/pulse directory and see if that helps. >> >> Regards, >> >> Nick >> >> On 20/08/18 12:27, Daniel Crone wrote: >>> Yesterday I messed up the sound settings in my linux system. >>> Is there a way to use my ubuntu dvd I installed from in order to go in to my >>> system and unmute or turn up my sound? >>> I hear orca at log in but not after logging on. >>> >> >> > > -- > > > -- > Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list > Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Sound muted or turned low
Another shorter possibility is rm -fr $HOME/.config/pulse;reboot When pulse returns on reboot, system defaults will return.

Re: Sound muted or turned low
Hi Daniel, When this has happened to me I usually find that removing or renaming the .config/pulse directory in my home folder is enough to reset everything. Can you SSH into the machine from somewhere else, or log in as a different user? I have learned to have a second user account set up so that if I mess up the sound on my main user I can still log in with sound to sort things out. I guess you could boot off the live DVD, open up a terminal session and rename the /home//.config/pulse directory and see if that helps.

Is there a way to use my ubuntu dvd I installed from in order to go in to my system and unmute or turn up my sound? I hear orca at log in but not after logging on. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
