Interal microphone "unplugged" and not working on Dell Inspiron 14 7440 running newest ubuntu desktop
  • I tried plugging in a headset and plugging it out. When I plugged it in 2 microphones showed up, one called "headset microphone" and the other just called "microphone", screenshot:

    But when I unplugged the headset both microphones are gone, does it mean that my laptop recognizes its internal microphone when a headset is plugged in? Also when I switch to the one just called "microphone", speaking to the headset microphone doesn't make the bar move as much as patting the laptop, so the "microphone" should be the internal microphone.

  • I don't have a headset plugged in right now. But I think yesterday I might have a headset plugged in while shutting down my computer. Could that make the computer still think it has a headset plugged in? Though speakers work normally and I've restarted quite a few times and this problem still persists.

  • Interal microphone "unplugged" and not working on Dell Inspiron 14 7440 running newest ubuntu desktop

    The internal microphone doesn't work on my Dell Inspiron 14 7440 running ubuntu, though it is recognized on windows and I remember it working before I reinstalled the ubuntu system. When I open sound settings, the app doesn't recognize the internal microphone:

    !

    I ran alsamixer (newest version) in the terminal and didn't see the internal microphone, this is what it looked like (this screenshot shows all devices listed in alsamixer):

    !

    I also looked at pavucontrol and the app shows the internal microphone as "unplugged":

    How can I get the microphone working?

    Update: I tried plugging in a headset and plugging it out. When I plugged it in 2 microphones showed up, one called "headset microphone" and the other just called "microphone", screenshot:

    GNOME videos app doesn't play videos correctly on ubuntu on dell inspiron

    I installed the newest ubuntu desktop on dell Inspiron 14 7440, and when I open a video (either mp4 or webm) with GNOME videos it looks like this in the image, showing horizontal bars.

    Is this a graphics driver problem? I haven't installed any kind of driver after the ubuntu installation, and if it is a driver problem from where should I install the driver?

    Does the NPU in Dell's "AI PC"s work on Linux?

    I'm planning to buy an Inspiron or XPS model and install Linux on it, and I'd like to run neural networks accelerated by its NPU. Are there available drivers for the NPU in these models that supports debian or ubuntu-based systems?

    A folder called "4KSDR240FPS" takes up more than 40 GB on my mac's storage after installing Mac OS sonoma. Is it safe to delete?
  • I'll try that. Still I don't understand why is anyone willing to spend 40+ GB on their disks just to get a cool wallpaper/screen saver combo, I think a better design would be streaming the screen savers from apple's servers, it would be unavailable without an internet connection but it's better than wasting 40 GB on the disk

  • A folder called "4KSDR240FPS" takes up more than 40 GB on my mac's storage after installing Mac OS sonoma. Is it safe to delete?

    After installing Mac OS sonoma for a few weeks my mac quickly ran out of storage. I did a scan using cleanmymac and found this huge folder in /Library/Application Support/com.apple.idleassetsd/Customer/:

    !

    I opened the folder and found it full of high-quality landscape videos, which is probably used for screen savers. Would anything go wrong if I delete everything in the folder and use the old screen saver?

    Is the TNT version of macpaw gemini safe?

    I downloaded the installer from cmacked.com, and cleanmymac almost immediately recognized it as malware.

    Any recommendations for FOSS alternatives to notability? (for intel mac)
  • But MacOS's pdf editor saves the file as PDF, which means I can't change a text box or drawing I already did once I save the file and delete previous versions. And I'm planning to switch to linux in the future so I want something open source.

  • Any recommendations for FOSS alternatives to notability? (for intel mac)
  • I don’t have the tool selection menu on top of the document, instead there’s a menu called “tools” that I have to click in, and the tools are listed by names instead of icons which is confusing and hard to find.

    Screenshot on my computer (after I clicked open the "tools" menu):

    The main features I want are:

    • Import PDFs and annotate them in the app’s native format (so that I’ll still be able to remove previous changes after I save and re-open it)
    • Quickly add text boxes anywhere on the PDF
    • Draw some basic shapes and lines with different colors (can either be notability-style “draw and hold to make shape” or just a classic “insert shapes” option from the toolbar)
    • Have a page thumbnail option and can search text in the PDF file and quickly go there

    [Help] Vertical bars appear on a certain wallpaper but not others (Mac OS sonoma beta, Macbook air)

    I'm on Mac OS sonoma beta and I've been using the solar gradients wallpaper since it exists. But a few days ago white vertical bars appeared on the wallpaper. When I switched to another wallpaper and switched back the white bars disappear. Yesterday the same issue happened, but when I switch back to the solar gradients wallpaper, the vertical bars are still there. Although any other wallpaper doesn't show vertical bars, I really want the solar gradients wallpaper back, how do I fix this?

    Screenshot of wallpaper with vertical bars (the black squares are the dock and documents on my desktop): !

    I made an anarchychess bot based on claude-instant (a chatgpt alternative)

    Bot link: https://poe.com/Anarchychess-bot

    This bot is made to talk in anarchychess-style, which makes it great at generating memes and copypastas. It can also give humorous comments on chess gameplay (though it sometimes hallucinates).

    I made it based on claude-instant because claude is better than ChatGPT at creative writing.

    Some screenshots:

    [Solved] Password autofill not working on librewolf

    I just switched from firefox to librewolf and I imported the autofill passwords through a csv file, but autofill isn't working when I log into websites (the autofill option doesn't show up when I click into "enter password") and I have to manually copy the passwords from about:logins. How do I fix that?
