duncanidaho1suddenly I cannot see any text created in gimp.  I cannot paint a white canvas with another color on a new layer or otherwise...any ideas?01:30
rlameiroduncanidaho1: maybe you hide it on the layers01:30
rlameiroi am not a gimp expert01:30

duncanidaho1ok thanks01:34
duncanidaho1oh do you use audacity or ardour?01:34
rlameirosometimes01:34
rlameiroyes01:34
duncanidaho1what do you prefer to use?01:35
rlameiroArdour01:36
rlameirobut ardour is a more "professional" tool01:36
rlameiroit depends what you want to do01:36
adorabelleubuntu-studio 9.10... when jack is turned off (using alsa), sometimes after a while, sound just simply stops working for a given application (vlc, in this case).  have to restart the app to get sound back :/03:34

rlameiropeople are sying that the alpha release is very nice03:43
rlameiroaltough i dont know if jack is really prepared on the alpha03:43
adorabelle*nod*03:44
guberhowdy folks...i'm new to ubuntu studio...having trouble starting jack.  Is there a standard newbie page?  I installed the linux-rt kernel and rebooted and cant run qjackctl unless i run it as root or untick the [] realtime option and then i get a steady flow of xruns without even running ardour or anything06:32
holsteinguber: hey06:33
guberI installed the linux-rt kernel but uname -r shows: 2.6.31-20-generic06:33
guberholstein: hey06:33
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation06:33
holsteintake a look at these suggestions06:33
guberholstein: thanks, i'll check it out06:33
holsteinthe root thing is probably permissions06:34
holsteinand hopefully the xruns is limits.conf related06:34
guberholstein: i probly should have mentioned i installed Ubuntu Studio via a regular ubuntu install and got the ubuntustudio-desktop pakages06:34
holsteinguber: check out #opensourcemusicians for more help :)06:35
holsteinguber: me too06:35
guberok, cool06:35
holsteinyou just gotta do some more tweaking06:35
holsteini prefer that method06:35
holsteinupgrading from a standard install06:35
guberholstein: yeah, my arch box ran jack as user in real time with a preemp kernel with no problems or tweaking06:36
adorabellemost likely you're not a member of the "audio" group or some such06:36
holsteinsudo adduser username audio06:37
holsteinsomething like that06:37
adorabelleerm... not quite, but i think that doc probably details it06:37
holsteinhey adorabelle06:37
adorabellehi06:37
adorabellei just cheat and vi /etc/group, append my username to the appropriate group, logout, log back in :)06:37
guberadorabelle: nope, i just added audio group and still the same error06:38
holsteinguber: what audio device?06:38
gubergonna read that page now06:38
holsteinfirewire?06:38
adorabelle*nod*  guber i ended up adding myself to the root group.. the audio device permissions were root only and wasn't sure the ubuntu-approved method to fix it.06:38
guberholstein: CAD u37  usb condensor mic06:38
adorabellei was in a rush to get it working, that worked...06:38
guberadorabelle: i'm about one headache away from going back to arch06:39
holsteinhehe06:39
holsteinguber: is this lucid?06:39
adorabellei know, i had a few headaches and head-scratching moments when setting it up too...06:39
guberholstein: karmic06:39
holsteinive been hoping to have time to install lucid and check out the studio packages06:40
guberi might try AV Linux...that guy actually makes a good setup06:40
guberi've used it before06:40
holsteinkarmic is technically a testing version06:40
holsteinnot a long-term support06:40
holsteinw00t06:40
holsteinyeah, i liked AV too :)06:40
guberyeah, karmic sux06:41
holsteinthats what im running now06:41
holsteinand its going well06:41
guberi think you just helped me seal the deal...gonna stop wrestling with this karmic kaka and go with AV Linux, if that fails i'm goin back to Arch06:42
guberi dont need much for a one mic input :)06:42
holsteindont tell anyone ;)06:42
holsteinreally, you should check out lucid though06:42
guberholstein: heheh06:42
