Acer Aspire 3 A315-21 laptop has mono sound only?
I think that this particular laptop has mono sound. I have been using it temporarily to stream content by HDMI to a LG HD monitor and then by fibre optical cable to a NED D3020 V2 hybrid amplifier and finally to a pair of bass reflect speakers. Unfortunately sound comes out of only one speaker. After extensive tests I have determined to my satisfaction that the problem is in the laptop. I can test the two speakers built in the laptop separately, but I have no way of knowing whether the sound so produced is mono or stereo. I could find no specs for this laptop with details about the sound card. Lack of such specs indicates to me that Acer does not want people to know that this laptop is mono only. Is mono sound the norm for low market laptops such as this one and notebooks? Ken Heard
Re: Acer Aspire 3 A315-21 laptop has mono sound only?
Hi, Ken. If confirmed, it would be the first laptop I know of that has mono sound. It looks like it is stereo, though: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/CA/content/model/NX.GNVAA.030 Are you sure it is not a defective connector? Or the first cable right out of the laptop?

no upgrade of libkpmcore8 to libkpmcore9
The dependency libkpmcore9 cannot be upgraded from libkpmcore8,
therefore the package partitionmanager is hold back from upgrades. What
exactly causes "apt upgrade" to not be able to upgrade to libkpmcore9
from libkpmcore8? Below I will show what I figured out so far. Is there
some more detail I could search for? Or is it a bug and if so, for which
package (libkpmcore9 or apt or some other instance) should I report it?
My OS is Debian testing ("Bullseye"), kernel-release 5.4.0-4-amd64 and
kernel-version being #1 SMP Debian 5.4.19-1 (2020-02-13), besides the
below mentioned packages upgraded to the newest package versions.
I have done the following to clarify the situation, which shows that the
hold back is caused by the dependency libkpmcore9:
apt upgrade partitionmanager -s
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
partitionmanager : Depends: libkpmcore9 (>= 4.1.0) but it is not going
to be installed
E: Broken packages
Simulating a manual upgrade of libkpmcore9 shows that there would not be
a solution to the situation:
apt upgrade libkpmcore9 -s
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libkpmcore9 : Breaks: libkpmcore8 but 4.0.1-2+b1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
However, a manual installation of libkpmcore9 would solve the situation:
apt install --no-install-recommends libkpmcore9 -s
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
partitionmanager
Suggested packages:
btrfs-progs hfsplus hfsutils jfsutils reiser4progs reiserfsprogs xfsprogs
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libkpmcore8
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libkpmcore9
The following packages will be upgraded:
partitionmanager
1 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Inst partitionmanager [4.0.0-2] (4.1.0-1 Debian:testing, Debian:unstable
[amd64]) []
Remv libkpmcore8 [4.0.1-2+b1] []
Inst libkpmcore9 (4.1.0-2 Debian:testing, Debian:unstable [amd64])
Conf partitionmanager (4.1.0-1 Debian:testing, Debian:unstable [amd64])
Conf libkpmcore9 (4.1.0-2 Debian:testing, Debian:unstable [amd64])
The other hold back packages are these ones, they only appeared in
status hold back some days after partitionmanager already was hold back
as the only hold back package and I therefore conclude that these are
not relevant to my above described problem:
partitionmanager task-english task-laptop tasksel tasksel-data
Looking forward to receiving your kind help! Thanks a lot, Marco.

I will try to contact the package maintainers and ask them if they couldn't provide a package named "libkpmcore" then and using normal version numbers for this package as usual for other packages.

Buy/borrow the cheapest earphones you can find, if you don't already have such. Plug into the laptop and select the headphone jack as output. Locate a modern pop music track. Play in VLC. Under Audio->Stereo Mode, switch between mono and stereo. If you can't hear any difference, if the sound is located in the centre of your head in both modes, you only have mono. Or if the Stereo option is greyed out There are quite a few tracks with deliberate stereo effects, most stuff by Pink Floyd, Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love etc., and they make stereo very obvious, even on laptop speakers. But pretty much any music will have stereo differences which are obvious on headphones, but maybe not on the poor excuses for loudspeakers in laptops. If you're getting convincing stereo, then the problem is elsewhere in the path. I always suspect HDMI of anything that involves it. Yes, it can do many channels, and something with 'HDMI' stamped on it should do at least stereo, but that may be the weak link in the chain. You should have a headphone jack on any modern screen which handles audio, try your cheap earphones in that, with sound via HDMI. Again, VLC provides a quick mono/stereo switch, but many sound hardware drivers can also do that. -- Joe

Plug them into the laptop headphone output socket and run the command: speaker-test -c2 This laptop is specified to produce stereo sound, so you should hear in the headphones several seconds of pink noise which alternates between the left and right ears. For more info on your audio hardware, try running the command: lspci | grep -i audio or install the inxi package and run the command: inxi -A

Chances are, there is more coming from the maintainers. Simply waiting
a week or so may clear this up. The dependencies don't work because
another package needs to be upgraded or installed that hasn't yet been
uploaded to the mirrors. This happens frequently in testing and Sid

Small correction: it happens frequently in sid indeed, but it is _not_
supposed to happen frequently in testing. In this case, it happens
because libkpmcore9 is not coinstallable with libkpmcore8. I would
consider that a bug, but I don't know anything about the kpmcore
package.
Aptitude by default removes unused packages (automatically installed
packages with no reverse dependencies) with the "safe-upgrade" command,
which I find very useful. I think apt should behave the same if you set
APT::Binary::AutomaticRemove to true in the configuration, but I have
not tested that.
Cheers,
Sven

Actually, one of the reasons of making a totally new package instead of a new version "of the same" [1] /is/ for having co-installable versions, as, for example, is done with kernel packages (you want to have an older kernel around if the new one misbehaves badly).

Did you install this from the flatpak?? thank you, Anil On Tue, 2020-03-03 at 06:41 +0100, Nazar Zhuk wrote: > On 2020-02-29 23:08, Joel Rees wrote: > > (I hope no one gets upset about double posting debian and ubuntu > > users > > lists.) > > > > Questions about zoom --www.zoom.us > > > > Anyone using it? > > > > Issues? > > > > Known reasons they don't put it in the general repositories? > > > > As others have pointed out, it's proprietary and will never be in > Debian and there are superior open-source alternatives. > > If the choice is not yours though, there is a flatpak for it: > https://flathub.org/apps/details/us.zoom.Zoom.

I'm sure it will be quite helpful over time.
[SOLVED] emacs problem: M-x write-abbrev-file does not seem to work.

I guess I just got into the habit of using "sudo" more than I really need to. 2) The book is Second Edition (1996). Almost a quarter of a century old, but still quite useful, especially for a "mature" program like Emacs. 3) I do have "emacs-common-non-dfsg" installed, and do have "non-free" in my /etc/apt/sources.list. I do use "info" from time to time, but I more often use man pages, or just search online. 4) The problem has been SOLVED. I believe it was due to the insistence on Emacs on using ~/.emacs.d/abbrev_defs to store the saved abbreviations, instead of ~/.abbrev_defs as suggested in the book. I am guessing this is due to the change in recent years to using ".d" supplemental directories. The fix was to change a section of".emacs" from this (in the book): (setq-default abbrev-mode t) (read-abbrev-file "~/.abbrev_defs") (setq save-abbrevs t) to this: (setq-default abbrev-mode t) (setq save-abbrevs t) (setq abbrev-file-name "~/.emacs.d/abbrev_defs") ;; tell emacs where to read abbrev definitions from . . . ;; (read-abbrev-file "~/.emacs.d/abbrev_defs") This line may be obsolete [from "Learning GNU Emacs"] [Note: it seems to work either with or without (read-abbrev-file "~/.emacs.d/abbrev_defs") being commented out]. So now "M-x write-abbrev-file" does seem to save the edited abbreviations as it was supposed to all along. I had mentioned that it was possible to manually edit ~/.emacs.d/abbrev_defs to remove the entry, and then save ~/.emacs.d/abbrev_defs, as a work-around. But if I should be able "To delete any abbreviation, delete the line for that abbreviation and save the file by typing M-x write-abbrev-file.", then I should be able to do so. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks to all for the help.
