[00:24] <Sprocket> Does KDE work well with ubuntu Studio?
[04:24] <Sprocket> what is the command to upgrade Ubunto into ubuntu Studio?
[05:05] <holstein> hey Sprocket
[05:05] <holstein> !vanilla
[05:05] <holstein> that should have all the meta packages your looking for
[05:05] <holstein> you can follow the hardy guide
[05:05] <holstein> the names are the same
[05:06] <holstein> the only difference is grub2
[05:06] <holstein> if your interested in getting the real-time kernel going
[05:06] <holstein> !grub2
[05:16] <Sprocket> i think i found it
[05:17] <Sprocket> im inda new to linux.   what is grub?  most of my experience is in Fedora
[05:17] <Sprocket> *kinda
[05:19] <holstein> cool
[05:19] <holstein> grub is the boot loader
[05:20] <holstein> and grub2's menu is hidden by default
[05:20] <holstein> SO if you sudo apt-get install linux-rt
[05:20] <holstein> you probably wont see the RT kernel as an option
[05:20] <holstein> its nothing to worry about
[05:20] <holstein> if your doing graphics
[05:20] <holstein> or casual aduio
[05:21] <holstein> audio*
[05:21] <holstein> Sprocket: check out #opensourcemusicians
[05:21] <holstein> p'cast there
[05:21] <holstein> good for the new-to-linux audio folk :)
[09:36] <jazz_> anyone familliar with ableton live and or reason? and 1 can they run on Linux 2 are there any programs like them under the open source software?
[16:18] <jakob__> Hi there. I want to be able to produce high quality audio combining recording and MIDI. But it's a long time ago I have played with sound. Which soundcards are best these days?
[16:19] <holstein> hey jakob__
[16:19] <holstein> i think it depends on your needs/budget
[16:19] <holstein> the best are probably RME
[16:20] <jakob__> I'd say around 7-800$
[16:20] <holstein> thought, you can get great results for less bread
[16:21] <holstein> http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010.html
[16:21] <jakob__> which cards have the best MIDI synthesis tables (I think that's what it's called right)
[16:21] <holstein> http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=3
[16:22] <holstein> OH, the fp-10 might not have midi though
[16:22] <jakob__> ok so the delta1010 has both an internal and an external part?
[16:22] <holstein> pci card
[16:22] <holstein> with a breakout box
[16:22] <holstein> well supported too
[16:22] <jakob__> ok, you see it's some years ago ;-)
[16:23] <holstein> i wouldnt worry about MIDI
[16:23] <jakob__> OK Midi is a must
[16:23] <holstein> if you get good sound quality
[16:23] <holstein> the MIDI will be rockin
[16:24] <holstein> good sound quality and jack support
[16:25] <jakob__> so delta1010 has both good recording capabilities and MIDI synth?
[16:25] <holstein> http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Multiface2/
[16:26] <holstein> the delta had MIDI capabilities
[16:26] <holstein> any 'soft synths' or workstations that come with it wont run on linux
[16:27] <holstein> but theres all kinds of great MIDI software in linux
[16:27] <jakob__> ok so it would have to be a card/breakout box with embedded midi synth?
[16:27] <holstein> that comes with uBuntuStudio
[16:27] <holstein> hmmm
[16:27] <holstein> not sure i follow
[16:27] <holstein> its got midi ports
[16:28] <jakob__> well you say soft synth wont run on linux
[16:28] <holstein> you can plug whatever midi device you want
[16:28] <jakob__> yes I know
[16:28] <holstein> well, there are some nice soft synths
[16:28] <holstein> in linux
[16:28] <jakob__> ok cool
[16:29] <holstein> BUT whatever would come packaged would not be linux softwarer
[16:29] <jakob__> in the repos?
[16:29] <holstein> software*
[16:29] <holstein> yup
[16:29] <holstein> !vanilla
[16:29] <jakob__> ok
[16:29] <holstein> the hardy instructions lists the meta packages
[16:29] <holstein> OH
[16:30] <holstein> ---/j #opensourcemusicians
[16:30] <holstein> theres a pcast
[16:30] <jakob__> thanks :-)
[16:30] <holstein> and community reviews of some gear and software
[16:30] <jakob__> btw do you use Ardour?
[16:30] <holstein> yup
[16:31] <holstein> i use it a little under OSX too
[16:31] <holstein> but a lot on ubntu
[16:31] <jakob__> did it get MIDI support yet?
[16:31] <holstein> soon is the word
[16:31] <jakob__> :-D
[16:31] <holstein> 3.0 release
[16:31] <holstein> its at 2.8.7 i thin
[16:31] <holstein> k
[16:31] <jakob__> cool, I wont be using it until 3.0 anyway
[16:32] <jakob__> thanks a lot
[18:12] <Arthur_D> hello, may I ask what versions of OpenAL and ALSA Ubuntustudio 9.10 is using?
[18:15] <Arthur_D> in other words; do they follow vanilla Ubuntu?
[18:52] <jussi01> Arthur_D: yes
[18:52] <jussi01> Arthur_D: our repos are the same as vanilla ubuntu repos
[18:53] <Arthur_D> okay, thanks. I had to upgrade OpenAL and ALSA to Lucid because of audio problems in 9.10
[18:54] <Arthur_D> as it is now, I use vanilla Ubuntu, but I would really like to try Ubuntustudio
[18:55] <jussi01> !vanilla
[18:57] <Arthur_D> I just can't get Jack running right as it is now; would it be easier if I migrate to *studio?
[18:57] <jussi01> Arthur_D: how are you starting it?
[18:57] <jussi01> studio has a few tweaks as well as the rt kernel thathelp
[18:57] <Arthur_D> via qjackctl
[18:58] <Arthur_D> I got some rubbish saying it couldn't start in realtime mode, even when I never checked the "run as realtime" button
[18:59] <Arthur_D> so I tried a trick at Ubuntuforums, but that left me with no audio at all it seems
[19:00] <jussi01> yeah, I suspect studio might help with that
[19:01] <Arthur_D> does Studio run well with 64-bit?
[19:04] <jussi01> I hnestly dont know.
[19:05] <Arthur_D> will be afk for a while
[19:26] <Brazucka> Hi there.
[19:27] <Brazucka> I am trying to install nvidia-drivers manually, but I cannot run a prompt (without x-server) to do it. Any tip?
[19:40] <jussi01> Brazucka: ctrl+alt+f3 ?
[19:48] <Brazucka> How do I shut down the X-server and go to prompt, please?
[21:40] <CyBerNetX> Ctrl + Alt + F1
[21:41] <CyBerNetX> . /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[21:41] <CyBerNetX> oups
[21:41] <CyBerNetX> logon user
[21:42] <CyBerNetX> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
