=== skrzat_ is now known as skrzat [21:05] Oh, lucky guess [21:05] What is Ubuntu Studio, it seems like an OS aimed at like video making etc.. [21:07] !en [21:07] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [21:27] hello Lcawte [21:27] wat? [21:28] ugh, sorry that wat? was from my sister [21:29] While I was downstairs [21:29] hi holstein [21:29] lol [21:30] no worries [21:30] you checking out ubuntu studio? [21:31] well, having a look at it and wondering, yeah [21:31] I've always been interested in getting some proper tools [21:32] it would be nice to have a live CD [21:32] if you want [21:32] you could look at someting like 64studio's live CD [21:32] there is a 3.x beta version [21:32] based on ubuntu hardy [21:33] that is pretty similar [21:33] hm, yeah, I was thinking of burning a copy of it to a CD [21:33] you can just add the studio packages to a vanilla ubuntu install too [21:33] does normal ubuntu have anything to burn ISO's by default? Or shall I do it on my winows machine [21:33] !vanilla [21:33] To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation [21:33] I don't think 64Studio has a live disk anymore [21:34] meganerd: yeah? [21:34] i havent checke in a while [21:34] not with their 3.x beta [21:34] OH yeah [21:34] I am using 64Studio on my main DAW [21:34] vanilla ubuntu.. is that normal ubuntu? [21:34] you are right [21:34] you would need the 2.x [21:34] and thats not as much like ubuntu [21:34] the 3 beta is based on hardy, so you probably want that one anyway [21:34] but not unlike it really [21:35] it is pretty stable but even the 3.0 beta is getting long in the tooth [21:35] Lcawte: yup, vanilla = plain old ubuntu [21:35] kewl [21:35] 2.x is based on Debian, not a huge difference but it is quite old now [21:35] meganerd: i had several issues that were not resolved [21:35] on 64studio [21:36] i was checking it out back when ubuntu studio did not ship with the RT kernel [21:36] Ok, the packages is just the software? I've already messed up 2 configurations of ubuntu this week :P [21:36] Lcawte: hehe [21:36] holstein: not funny, for me anyway [21:36] yup, he studio software comes in meta-packages [21:37] so you can install one meta-package, and get a lot of the studio software [21:37] I used the studio meta package on my laptop [21:37] there are a few of the packages [21:37] if you go to synaptic [21:37] kewl... what command line do I need :P [21:37] and search ubuntustudio [21:37] or sudo apt-cache search ubuntustudio [21:38] you can read about them [21:38] holstein: what issues? I still prefer it for a pure DAW, [21:38] you can get just the stuff you need for what your going to be doing [21:38] that link... [21:38] !vanilla [21:38] To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation [21:38] has all the pakcages listed [21:39] they are named the same from hardy to karmic [21:39] and lucid too i bet [21:39] meganerd: i had a build error in 64 [21:39] ok, that confuses me.. [21:40] Lcawte: you can sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-whateveryouwant [21:40] which one do I want? [21:40] that all depends really [21:40] i do audio recording [21:40] if I did: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio would that get me like all of it? [21:40] Animation, Graphics, I'll try whatever [21:40] i got ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins [21:40] that kind of thing [21:40] you would want the graphics ones [21:41] ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video [21:41] its not goint to hurt anything to get them all [21:41] how do I get them all :P [21:41] if you have space for them [21:42] err is over 100GB enough [21:42] i would do... [21:42] sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video [21:42] the only 2 your not getting there are [21:43] ubuntustudio-desktop [21:43] which is the themeing [21:43] kewl [21:43] I am not a big of the UBS theme [21:43] which is actually very nice by the way [21:43] too dark for me [21:43] but yeah, i dont like it either [21:43] it looks cool but I find it hard to use for any length of time [21:43] but still, pretty slick looking [21:44] also Lcawte [21:44] no argument here, it is cool looking [21:44] you would want to get the real time kernel for serious audio work [21:44] yes? [21:44] adding linux-rt to that list [21:44] I'm just trying the stuff for the moment [21:44] yeah [21:44] you can check it all out without it [21:46] ugh, Firefox, I dont want to restart yet, let me install all the stuff I need to first [21:47] installing [21:48] so how can I get involved with Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio... [21:48] the mailing list is rather active [21:49] if your talking about coding and that kind of thing [21:49] thats where i would ask [21:51] Coding, CSS is about as far as I can do.. other languages dont like me as much [21:51] testing and reporting is always helpful [21:51] Graphics work, MediaWiki :P [21:52] reporting and testing could work... [21:52] * Lcawte goes to ebay and buys a few old machines, and sticks different linux OS' on them [21:52] cool [21:52] theres a goodwill computer outlet [21:52] not too far from me [21:53] lots of cheap boxes in various states of repair [21:53] I've always been interested in OS's other than Windows, but now i've seen the fiddlyness of Ubuntu.. I'm starting to regret it :P [21:53] yeah [21:53] stick it out if you can [21:53] how long have you been using it? [21:53] linux? [21:53] in general [21:54] i use to fiddle with installing strange components [21:54] putting linux on old boxes [21:54] when i started running it on newer hardware [21:55] its a lot easier [21:55] not too long xD [21:55] like, installing windows on something takes a long time for me [21:55] to go around and find/install all the drivers [21:55] if the linux kernel supports all the hardware [21:55] boom [21:55] its very easy [21:56] if not, then you got to pick your battles [21:56] and or course, doing some research before buying hardware helps [21:56] i got my girlfriend an HP mininote [21:56] came with SUSE [21:56] i thought it would be easy [21:56] but its got VIA chips [21:56] its challenging [21:57] BUT my asus EEE is out-of-the-box [21:57] and the mininote is not that bad really [21:58] my other boxes are all supported too [21:58] id way rather install linux on a box than windows [21:58] now-a-days [21:58] lol [21:58] much easier [21:58] and i know i dont have to do it again ever really [21:59] unless i just want to [21:59] no resgistry BS [21:59] I havnt really set up anything by myself than this ubuntu, the others cam pre-installed =.= [21:59] I've seen it done though [21:59] well, like anything else [21:59] it gets easier [21:59] its just different [21:59] if you like windows, you like windows, and thats cool [22:00] but the install and configuring in linux gets easier as you get more experience [22:01] i found a lot of help on IRC [22:01] you got a local ubuntu channel? [22:02] im in north carolina [22:02] we got a #ubuntu-us-nc channel [22:02] I just use #ubuntu [22:02] it can be challenging to get a word in there at #ubuntu [22:02] yeah [22:03] I'm guessing my local channel is #ubuntu-uk < United Kingdom? [22:04] http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ [22:04] OH yeah [22:04] thats a great channel [22:04] i hang in there too [22:04] theres a great podcast too [22:04] http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ [22:04] I would hang in more channels, but I'm getting sleepy and I've just downloaded my IRC client, and dont have time to reboot tonight [22:05] you got plenty of time [22:05] IRC's not going anywere [22:05] /we hope/ [22:08] I'm probally going to have to leave this installing things all night and turn it off tommorow [22:08] yup [22:09] took an hour or so i think when i did it [22:10] anyway, good night === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Sleeping
