[01:30] <duncanidaho1> suddenly 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] <rlameiro> duncanidaho1: maybe you hide it on the layers
[01:30] <rlameiro> i am not a gimp expert
[01:30] <rlameiro> just a guess
[01:32] <duncanidaho1> no the layers are all visable
[01:33] <rlameiro> did you check the color of the text?
[01:33] <duncanidaho1> yep
[01:33] <rlameiro> well
[01:33] <rlameiro> sorry
[01:33] <duncanidaho1> I can't even paint
[01:34] <rlameiro> I am not really an expert
[01:34] <rlameiro> maybe
[01:34] <rlameiro> save and open it again
[01:34] <rlameiro> ...
[01:34] <rlameiro> dont really know
[01:34] <rlameiro> i am an audio guy
[01:34] <duncanidaho1> ok thanks
[01:34] <duncanidaho1> oh do you use audacity or ardour?
[01:34] <rlameiro> sometimes
[01:34] <rlameiro> yes
[01:35] <duncanidaho1> what do you prefer to use?
[01:36] <rlameiro> Ardour
[01:36] <rlameiro> but ardour is a more "professional" tool
[01:36] <rlameiro> it depends what you want to do
[03:34] <adorabelle> ubuntu-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 :/
[03:36] <rlameiro> adorabelle: tha only hapens to me using flash in the browser
[03:36] <adorabelle> yeah, i've had it happen with flash as well
[03:36] <adorabelle> any ideas on the cause?
[03:37] <rlameiro> nope
[03:37] <adorabelle> hmm
[03:37] <rlameiro> just waiting for the new release of 10.10
[03:37] <rlameiro> :D
[03:37] <adorabelle> when is that due out?
[03:37] <rlameiro> jack works well so
[03:37] <rlameiro> april
[03:37] <adorabelle> yeah, i'd rather have everything possible running through jack
[03:37] <rlameiro> sorry i said 10.10
[03:38] <rlameiro> its 10.4
[03:38] <adorabelle> ah
[03:38]  * adorabelle waits anxiously
[03:38] <rlameiro> adorabelle: you could try and help testing the alpha release :D
[03:38] <adorabelle> it'll be like christmas morning :)
[03:38] <adorabelle> if i had another machine to mess with it on, i would
[03:39] <adorabelle> although, i'm picking up a macbook pro shortly, so i'll be able to free up this machine, so maybe i can
[03:39] <rlameiro> please do
[03:39] <rlameiro> i am waiting for my 2nd hdd for my laptop to do testing also
[03:41] <adorabelle> if you get to it before i do, let me know how it works out :)
[03:43] <rlameiro> people are sying that the alpha release is very nice
[03:43] <rlameiro> altough i dont know if jack is really prepared on the alpha
[03:44] <adorabelle> *nod*
[06:32] <guber> howdy 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 anything
[06:33] <holstein> guber: hey
[06:33] <guber> I installed the linux-rt kernel but uname -r shows: 2.6.31-20-generic
[06:33] <guber> holstein: hey
[06:33] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation
[06:33] <holstein> take a look at these suggestions
[06:33] <guber> holstein: thanks, i'll check it out
[06:34] <holstein> the root thing is probably permissions
[06:34] <holstein> and hopefully the xruns is limits.conf related
[06:34] <guber> holstein: i probly should have mentioned i installed Ubuntu Studio via a regular ubuntu install and got the ubuntustudio-desktop pakages
[06:35] <holstein> guber: check out #opensourcemusicians for more help :)
[06:35] <holstein> guber: me too
[06:35] <guber> ok, cool
[06:35] <holstein> you just gotta do some more tweaking
[06:35] <holstein> i prefer that method
[06:35] <holstein> upgrading from a standard install
[06:36] <guber> holstein: yeah, my arch box ran jack as user in real time with a preemp kernel with no problems or tweaking
[06:36] <adorabelle> most likely you're not a member of the "audio" group or some such
[06:37] <holstein> sudo adduser username audio
[06:37] <holstein> something like that
[06:37] <adorabelle> erm... not quite, but i think that doc probably details it
[06:37] <holstein> hey adorabelle
[06:37] <adorabelle> hi
[06:37] <adorabelle> i just cheat and vi /etc/group, append my username to the appropriate group, logout, log back in :)
[06:38] <guber> adorabelle: nope, i just added audio group and still the same error
[06:38] <holstein> guber: what audio device?
[06:38] <guber> gonna read that page now
[06:38] <holstein> firewire?
[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] <guber> holstein: CAD u37  usb condensor mic
[06:38] <adorabelle> i was in a rush to get it working, that worked...
[06:39] <guber> adorabelle: i'm about one headache away from going back to arch
[06:39] <holstein> hehe
[06:39] <holstein> guber: is this lucid?
[06:39] <adorabelle> i know, i had a few headaches and head-scratching moments when setting it up too...
[06:39] <guber> holstein: karmic
[06:40] <holstein> ive been hoping to have time to install lucid and check out the studio packages
[06:40] <guber> i might try AV Linux...that guy actually makes a good setup
[06:40] <guber> i've used it before
[06:40] <holstein> karmic is technically a testing version
[06:40] <holstein> not a long-term support
[06:40] <holstein> w00t
[06:40] <holstein> yeah, i liked AV too :)
[06:41] <guber> yeah, karmic sux
[06:41] <holstein> thats what im running now
[06:41] <holstein> and its going well
[06:42] <guber> i 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 Arch
[06:42] <guber> i dont need much for a one mic input :)
[06:42] <holstein> dont tell anyone ;)
[06:42] <holstein> really, you should check out lucid though
[06:42] <guber> holstein: heheh
