sound works fine on my X1
with pulseaudio and pavucontrol
mute light turns off when the output is unmuted
mnathani: I absolutely love it
I haven't got sound working yet, still focusing on other things...
acf_: I have both those installed but sound still doesn't work.  It's like it is stuck on mute

it's not samsung ssd is it?
there's a 5.1.4 now...
but that discard bug sounded nasty
trim, discard, etc
i'm not sure if 5.1.4 fixes it though
m0unds: i'm using an nvme too
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/dmraid-bug-with-trim-in-kernel-5-1-5-2/88360
fixed in 5.1.4 apparently
what, the trim bug with data loss that you mentioned?
I'm installing the linux-lts package now...
the only problem with the WQHD display is that I now notice all lower-DPI images and they look like trash lol
like Cacti graphs
Oh yeah
Upgrade your cacti, they changed the graph sizes
iirc you can also configure it for svg output?
up_the_irons: hm. does your sound card appear in the pavucontrol window?

the mute control there turns on and off the light on the keyboard, and also unmutes the speaker for me
svg is stupidly slow on some cellphones
but it's nifty other than that
i think more recent cellphones got faster...
That's what she said!!
BryceBot: no
Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'i think more recent cellphones got faster...'
wat
yeah I'm guessing it depends both on the phone and on the particular SVG
I run a web service that displays svg output from both graphvis and gnuplot, and it seems to work perfectly fine on my android
my nexus 7 was terrible
but that's many years old now
problem is rasterized vector-ey things look awful on highdpi phone displays
(imo)
acf_: pavucontrol simply hangs at "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..."
hmm... maybe I should try installing pulseaudio lol
OK, I installed it; didn't do shit.   I ran "pulseaudio", seemed to work (ran in foreground), then I ran "pavucontrol" and the controls work.  I was able to unmute the audio.  I got some test sounds working.  But if I go to YouTube, it says "Audio Renderer Error"..  so I gotta play a bit more
ah I just had to restart Chrome
OK, final thing, the volume buttons don't work (but the software sliders in YT and pavucontrol do)
so connecting the KB to the audio driver or something is the next step...
The Nexus 7 was already rather handicapped to start with...
(Notably, it's terrible, no-good, very bad flash memory)
I wrote Lua bindings for my awesomewm to connect the XF86* keys to change volume :/
yeah but that was more a cpu issue
and that flash ... it got slower over time
i think the cpu was reasonbly ok for the tiem though?
The CPU was fine, but all performance is going to suffer if processes are backlogged waiting on storage IO
 yea the nexus 7 wasn't particularly slow until your flash went out. mine still boots for some reason
there was a bad generation (that afaik bootloops for most at this point) and an ok generation
well i doubt png vs svg performance was about the flash
i'm not sure how to test quickly/easily atm though
i got smokeping to use svgs once
i'm not even sure where mine is .. i hav a note 10.1 2014 now too which is a lot better tablet
and yet still kind of old :)
yeah I haven't bothered to get my keyboard volume keys working
I just use pavucontrol anytime I need to adjust anything
I remember the ones on older thinkpads working out of the box though. strange...
i found i'm not much of a tablet user
i got a fire tablet and downloaded a bunch of tv episodes/movies to it for long layovers and stuff, but i much prefer just using my phone or laptop outside of the media consumption use case
