[18:04] <CAPcap> Sound software, what works, what would anyone here recommend?
=== ubottu is now known as ubott2
[22:41] <trask> heya
[23:02] <trask> so a friend wants me to build him a sound studio, i love ubuntu in general and was wondering if there was a point in playing around with this studio fork thingy. whats the fork about?
[23:40] <holstein> hey trask
[23:41] <trask> sup holstein, how deep are you in this project?
[23:41] <holstein> just a user
[23:41] <trask> lots deeper than me :P
[23:42] <holstein> you can always just make a normal ubuntu instalation into ubuntu studio
[23:42] <holstein> ubottu: vanilla
[23:42] <ubottu> To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation
[23:42] <trask> so whats the reason u run the studio fork instead of just the apps in regular buntu?
[23:42] <holstein> well..
[23:43] <holstein> as far as i can tell, ubuntu studio is just a meta-package
[23:43] <holstein> or something like that
[23:43] <holstein> you can do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-studio
[23:43] <holstein> ubuntustudio-audio i meann
[23:43] <holstein> mean*
[23:44] <holstein> and you get a bunch of apps packaged togeter
[23:44] <holstein> from the ubuntu repo
[23:44] <trask> yeah this install is now 3+ years old, sounds like the best way to mess with it
[23:45] <trask> debian seems indestructable
[23:45] <holstein> the reason i see that there is a seperate project is the real time kernel for expample
[23:45] <holstein> you wouldnt want a regualr user to have to deal with that
[23:46] <holstein> nor, would you want to give someone access to an audio distrobution
[23:46] <holstein> that did not at least have a clear way to intall, and use a real time kernel
[23:46] <trask> why not? remote access is neat from time to time
[23:48] <holstein> i run a regular vanilla karmic install that i installed the ubuntustudio packages i need onto
[23:49] <holstein> the ububuntustudio-audio ubntustudio-audio-plugins and linux-rt
[23:49] <holstein> see also...
[23:49] <holstein> ubottu: grub2
[23:49] <ubottu> GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[23:50] <trask> any need for grub? whenever i slam on another kernel build it appears in my boot menu :P
[23:50] <holstein> cool
[23:51] <holstein> grub2 in karmic can be hidden by default
[23:51] <holstein> i just link to that in case :)
[23:52] <trask> definately a part of linux that was hard back long time ago
[23:54] <trask> gonna scroll up and do those apt-gets
