[05:04] <duncanidaho1> Why does DESKTOP DRAPES not startup when my computer restarts?  It is listed in my startup applications.  It is also set to do so in its preferences.
[13:53] <oholic> hi, I'm having connection problems with ubuntu studio, my b43 wireless card, and my home network
[13:57] <oholic> I installed the firmware with b43cutter
[13:58] <oholic> by hand, not with the app
[13:59] <oholic> it seems to authenticate, then disconnect itself with reason 3
[14:00] <oholic> I dont know where to find what reason 3 is?
[14:00] <oholic> thats from dmesg | tail
[14:01] <oholic> I have a ping open to my gateway...
[14:02] <oholic> it says destination unreachable
[14:02] <oholic> most of the time
[14:03] <oholic> i has litle stable moments where it replys pings between 42ms and 2.6ms
[14:04] <oholic> its pinging it at about 80/6ms now..
[14:06] <oholic> I really wish I could cut and paste to a pastebin right now..
[20:02] <mezzoforte> Hi there!
[21:10] <MmikeDOMA> I have setup jackd as on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToJACKConfiguration, jackd starts fine (i have xrun every now and then), but when I run, for instance, Rosegarden, and play a score, I hear no sound! I see the connections qjackctl dialog (audio and alsa, but no midi?), everything seems to be working, I just hear no sound. Audacious, mplayer, hydrogen and others work fine. I have Ubuntu 9.04, but installed all the
[21:10] <MmikeDOMA> ubuntu-studio packages as on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation.
[21:12] <holstein> heyy MmikeDOMA
[21:12] <holstein> it could be this simple...
[21:12] <holstein> rosegarden itself does not produce sounds
[21:12] <holstein> you need to route it to software synths
[21:13] <holstein> if your able to hear audio otherwise
[21:13] <holstein> and softsynths
[21:13] <holstein> i think thats the issue
[21:13] <holstein> i dont have a lot of experience with rosegarden either
[21:13] <holstein> i usually just use ardour myself
[21:14] <holstein> BUT i can confirm thats the way rosegarden works
[21:14] <holstein> i fired it up and routed it to some softsynths and got it working
[21:15] <holstein> MmikeDOMA: vist #opensourcemusicians
[21:15] <MmikeDOMA> holstein, do you know how can I verify that jackd is running properly, is there any other app I can use to play some music (i'll deal with rosegarden later)
[21:15] <MmikeDOMA> ok, I will, thank you
[21:15] <holstein> hmm
[21:16] <holstein> you could try anything really
[21:16] <holstein> maybe fire up ardour
[21:16] <MmikeDOMA> Name one :)
[21:16] <MmikeDOMA> ok, hang on :)
[21:16] <holstein> and import a wav
[21:17] <MmikeDOMA> do I need to have qsynth running? (i don't have any specialized music hardware)
[21:17] <holstein> nah
[21:17] <holstein> not for ardour
[21:17] <holstein> just import some kind of audio file into ardour
[21:17] <holstein> and then do your routing in jack
[21:17] <holstein> qjackctl
[21:17] <holstein> and you should hear it playback
[21:18] <holstein> if your comfortable with qsynth
[21:18] <holstein> that might be easier
[21:18] <holstein> you need a soundfont
[21:18] <holstein> for midi sounds
[21:18] <holstein> you can try running zynaddsubfx
[21:19] <holstein> that makes sounds out of the box
[21:19] <MmikeDOMA> Ardour works!
[21:19] <holstein> BUT it was crashing jack on me a while back
[21:19] <holstein> MmikeDOMA: sweet!
[21:19] <MmikeDOMA> I didn't do anything in qjacktl
[21:19] <holstein> so your god
[21:19] <MmikeDOMA> Yes, thnx :)
[21:19] <holstein> good*
[21:19] <holstein> ive heard good things about Qtractor
[21:20] <holstein> but i have not looked at it yet
[21:20] <MmikeDOMA> But. what exactley is qsynth for? I have some clue, but I don't understand where does it 'plugs'. Do I still need jackd?
[21:20] <MmikeDOMA> What is qtractor?
[21:20] <MmikeDOMA> ok, i read
[21:20] <MmikeDOMA> neat!
[21:20] <holstein> i have been told by serveral folks that they prefer the workflow and layout of Qtractor to rosegarden
[21:21] <holstein> you'll want to run qjackctl for everything i think
[21:21] <holstein> qsynth just plays soundfonts
[21:21] <holstein> imagine
[21:21] <holstein> qsynth is kinda like the hardware in a keyboard synth
[21:22] <holstein> that allows you to use and communicate with different sounds
[21:22] <holstein> same idea
[21:22] <holstein> you can load different 'sound banks' (prettymuch) in there
[21:23] <MmikeDOMA> So, do I need that to hear music that I imported to rosegarden or noteedit or something like that?
[21:23] <holstein> and route into/out of them with jack
[21:23] <holstein> sure
[21:23] <holstein> you can...
[21:23] <holstein> have rosegarden
[21:23] <holstein> routed into Qsynth
[21:24] <holstein> routed out to your soundcards out
[21:24] <holstein> rosegarden reads the MIDI data
[21:24] <holstein> sends it to Qsynth
[21:24] <holstein> Qsynth sends it to whatever sound
[21:24] <holstein> and it comes out through jack
[21:25] <holstein> i think you can use rosegarden to
[21:25] <holstein> change patches
[21:25] <holstein> and other stuff in Qsynth as well
[21:25] <holstein> to make it easier to use
[21:25] <holstein> BUT like i said, i havnet really done much of it
[21:25] <holstein> MIDI that is
[21:29] <MmikeDOMA> holstein, thnxs for the info, now at least i understand what am I looking for :)
[21:29] <holstein> good luck MmikeDOMA :)
[21:29] <holstein> http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/qjackctl-ss1.html
[21:30] <holstein> here is kind of an overview of the different windows and settings in qjackctl
[21:30] <MmikeDOMA> I mean, it worked on older ubuntu, it should work here! :)
[21:30] <holstein> OH
[21:30] <holstein> ok
[21:31] <holstein> well, you'll get it sorted out soon then :)
[21:31] <holstein> just a couple UI changes and some defaults changed i bet
[21:45] <MmikeDOMA> GOT SOUND!
[21:45] <MmikeDOMA> :)
[21:46] <MmikeDOMA> I needed to 'patch' rosegarden out to fluidsynth trough jackd!
[21:48] <kosmita> poszedł
[21:51] <MmikeDOMA> holstein, it's even more easy. Rosegarden allready 'patched' everythig to miditrough-in, i just needed to patch miditrough-out to fluidsynth
