[00:24] Does KDE work well with ubuntu Studio? [04:24] what is the command to upgrade Ubunto into ubuntu Studio? [05:05] hey Sprocket [05:05] !vanilla [05:05] To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation [05:05] that should have all the meta packages your looking for [05:05] you can follow the hardy guide [05:05] the names are the same [05:06] the only difference is grub2 [05:06] if your interested in getting the real-time kernel going [05:06] !grub2 [05:06] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:16] i think i found it [05:17] im inda new to linux. what is grub? most of my experience is in Fedora [05:17] *kinda [05:19] cool [05:19] grub is the boot loader [05:20] and grub2's menu is hidden by default [05:20] SO if you sudo apt-get install linux-rt [05:20] you probably wont see the RT kernel as an option [05:20] its nothing to worry about [05:20] if your doing graphics [05:20] or casual aduio [05:21] audio* [05:21] Sprocket: check out #opensourcemusicians [05:21] p'cast there [05:21] good for the new-to-linux audio folk :) [09:36] 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? === skrzat is now known as kosmo [16:18] 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] hey jakob__ [16:19] i think it depends on your needs/budget [16:19] the best are probably RME [16:20] I'd say around 7-800$ [16:20] thought, you can get great results for less bread [16:21] http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010.html [16:21] which cards have the best MIDI synthesis tables (I think that's what it's called right) [16:21] http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=3 [16:22] OH, the fp-10 might not have midi though [16:22] ok so the delta1010 has both an internal and an external part? [16:22] pci card [16:22] with a breakout box [16:22] well supported too [16:22] ok, you see it's some years ago ;-) [16:23] i wouldnt worry about MIDI [16:23] OK Midi is a must [16:23] if you get good sound quality [16:23] the MIDI will be rockin [16:24] good sound quality and jack support [16:25] so delta1010 has both good recording capabilities and MIDI synth? [16:25] http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Multiface2/ [16:26] the delta had MIDI capabilities [16:26] any 'soft synths' or workstations that come with it wont run on linux [16:27] but theres all kinds of great MIDI software in linux [16:27] ok so it would have to be a card/breakout box with embedded midi synth? [16:27] that comes with uBuntuStudio [16:27] hmmm [16:27] not sure i follow [16:27] its got midi ports [16:28] well you say soft synth wont run on linux [16:28] you can plug whatever midi device you want [16:28] yes I know [16:28] well, there are some nice soft synths [16:28] in linux [16:28] ok cool [16:29] BUT whatever would come packaged would not be linux softwarer [16:29] in the repos? [16:29] software* [16:29] yup [16:29] !vanilla [16:29] To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation [16:29] ok [16:29] the hardy instructions lists the meta packages [16:29] OH [16:30] ---/j #opensourcemusicians [16:30] theres a pcast [16:30] thanks :-) [16:30] and community reviews of some gear and software [16:30] btw do you use Ardour? [16:30] yup [16:31] i use it a little under OSX too [16:31] but a lot on ubntu [16:31] did it get MIDI support yet? [16:31] soon is the word [16:31] :-D [16:31] 3.0 release [16:31] its at 2.8.7 i thin [16:31] k [16:31] cool, I wont be using it until 3.0 anyway [16:32] thanks a lot [18:12] hello, may I ask what versions of OpenAL and ALSA Ubuntustudio 9.10 is using? [18:15] in other words; do they follow vanilla Ubuntu? [18:52] Arthur_D: yes [18:52] Arthur_D: our repos are the same as vanilla ubuntu repos [18:53] okay, thanks. I had to upgrade OpenAL and ALSA to Lucid because of audio problems in 9.10 [18:54] as it is now, I use vanilla Ubuntu, but I would really like to try Ubuntustudio [18:55] !vanilla [18:55] To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation [18:57] I just can't get Jack running right as it is now; would it be easier if I migrate to *studio? [18:57] Arthur_D: how are you starting it? [18:57] studio has a few tweaks as well as the rt kernel thathelp [18:57] via qjackctl [18:58] I got some rubbish saying it couldn't start in realtime mode, even when I never checked the "run as realtime" button [18:59] so I tried a trick at Ubuntuforums, but that left me with no audio at all it seems [19:00] yeah, I suspect studio might help with that [19:01] does Studio run well with 64-bit? [19:04] I hnestly dont know. [19:05] will be afk for a while [19:26] Hi there. [19:27] I am trying to install nvidia-drivers manually, but I cannot run a prompt (without x-server) to do it. Any tip? [19:40] Brazucka: ctrl+alt+f3 ? [19:48] How do I shut down the X-server and go to prompt, please? [21:40] Ctrl + Alt + F1 [21:41] . /etc/init.d/gdm stop [21:41] oups [21:41] logon user [21:42] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
