| juma[m] | Its posible , when i mute linux machine with laptop shortcut , can i rm module of mic ? | 16:10 |
|---|---|---|
| mason | juma[m]: Unrelated actions. Depending on the driver and hardware, I could imagine your losing sound output too. They might not be different drivers. | 16:21 |
| mason | juma[m]: I'd describe your goals with more detail as there might be an obvious answer. | 16:22 |
| mason | To steal from Debian: | 16:23 |
| mason | 10:22 <dpkg> Slow down for a bit! Are you sure that you need to jump through that particular hoop to achieve your goal? We suspect you don't, so why don't you back up a bit and tell us about the overall objective... We know that people often falsely diagnose problems because they are too close to them -- it's easy to miss that there is a better way to proceed. See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem | 16:23 |
| mason | 16:23 | |
| juma[m] | For better "privacy" in my Work Laptop | 16:29 |
| juma[m] | <mason> "juma: I'd describe your goals..." <- I want to not mute only the Mirophone I want to switchoff the modules | 16:29 |
| mason | juma[m]: Do you care about sound being emitted? | 16:30 |
| mason | juma[m]: Easy enough to yank modules if you don't care about sound at all. | 16:31 |
| onefang | Coz often the same module is responsible for sound input and output. | 16:32 |
| juma[m] | Yes i want to have control of my work laptop | 16:33 |
| juma[m] | Im installing OS for work that i dont know if they dont have any lowlevel software | 16:34 |
| micdud | add a physical switch? or plug a dummy resister mic in to the mic port and switch to that mic ? | 16:34 |
| juma[m] | I have a Latitutde 7420 . | 16:49 |
| micdud | if paranoid, opening it up and adding a physical switch is the best option( otherwise how do you know that whoever hacked your linux box does not just reload whatever driver you disabled when he wants to listen in ???) | 16:55 |
| onefang | Good idea to listen to micdud about dudding mics. B-) | 16:58 |
| juma[m] | it isnt my laptop | 17:09 |
| juma[m] | I need a way to know if its being controlled | 17:10 |
| juma[m] | I think i have to put it on a VLAN an mirror it ports | 17:10 |
| juma[m] | Im out of budget, talking about my E5470 | 17:16 |
| juma[m] | T5610 sorry | 17:16 |
| juma[m] | dual xenon 16GB ram ECC DDR3 , K2000, | 17:16 |
| juma[m] | I ahve 256 SSD is it enough for OS? | 17:16 |
| juma[m] | I ahve debian 12 and i ahve 1 gig free | 17:17 |
| juma[m] | Researching micdud | 17:17 |
| micdud | in some situations 8 gig usb stick work for me but can be less then a gig without desktop and no problems :) | 17:18 |
| juma[m] | thanks micdud | 17:30 |
| ted-ious | juma[m]: Depends on how much you're going to fill with your own files. :) | 17:38 |
| ted-ious | 256 gb won't hold very many 4k blu ray movies. | 17:38 |
| juma[m] | I have HDD of 1TB | 18:16 |
| juma[m] | I have 256GB of SSD for OS | 18:17 |

| mason | juma[m]: I dual-boot my T420 and it has 120G total. More than enough room. | 18:37 |
| juma[m] | <mason> "juma: I dual-boot my T420 and it..." <- Thanks for the Info | 20:18 |
