| lifestream | Could someone recommend a program, besides GIMP and Pinta, that is good for... digital painting? | 03:40 |
|---|---|---|
| lifestream | Photoshop is expensive:P | 03:40 |
| lifestream | (and sadly doesn't work with wacom, on linux, if I use layers :P) | 03:40 |
| lifestream | Basically use paintbrush and smudge a lot, and need layers, preferably doesn't use Mono *gag* | 03:43 |
| ScottL | lifestream, krita is good for digital painting i believe | 03:58 |
| ScottL | http://www.koffice.org/krita/ | 03:59 |
| lifestream | Krita ? :P Hmm...:-) I'll try | 03:59 |
| lifestream | I also just found Alchemy, MyPaint | 04:00 |
| ScottL | krita is a KDE application, so it will bring in a lot of KDE libraries, which may mean something to you if you are running gnome, maybe not | 04:02 |
| lifestream | Using openbox | 04:02 |
| lifestream | But have VLC installed, so a bunch of libraries might already be installed | 04:03 |
| lifestream | Also found Artweaver :P Didn't know there were so many choices | 04:05 |
| lifestream | Oops, no Artweaver is windows. Gee so many new choices *tries them* | 04:07 |

| Kransac | Hi everyone | 19:18 |
| _pg_ | hello! | 19:18 |
| Kransac | I've just installed ubuntu studio for the first time yipiii! | 19:18 |
| _pg_ | does anyone know the upgrade path for 9.10 x64 studio to Lucid? will there be problems with the RT kernel? I hear lucid doesnt have rt kernel. | 19:18 |
| holstein | _pg_: i suggest trying the generic kernel | 19:19 |
| _pg_ | holstein: how do I do that? | 19:19 |
| holstein | iv e heard the latency is great | 19:19 |
| holstein | you can always add the RT on later if necessary | 19:20 |
| _pg_ | holstein: let me back up. why do I even want an rt kernel? | 19:20 |
| holstein | _pg_: low-latency | 19:20 |
| _pg_ | holstein: is that only used in audio? | 19:20 |
| holstein | if your not doing audio recording | 19:20 |
| _pg_ | holstein: or just quicker all around? | 19:20 |
| holstein | you probably wont need it | 19:20 |
| holstein | nah, not quicker | 19:20 |
| tucemiux | _pg_, youll probably be able to upgrade the usual way or burn the ISO and get a fresh install | 19:20 |
| _pg_ | holstein: where do I choose what kernel? at login? | 19:21 |
| holstein | different priorities | 19:21 |
| holstein | _pg_: in lucid, the grub menu is hidden | 19:21 |
| holstein | check out | 19:21 |
| holstein | !grub2 | 19:21 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 19:21 |
| holstein | you can probaly just press escape | 19:21 |
| holstein | and get to the grub menu | 19:21 |
| Kransac | I have an Edirol FA-66 audio card. Do you know how I can see if it's recognized by the system? | 19:21 |
| furenku | does anybody now what's gonna happen with the rt kernel in lucid? | 19:21 |
| furenku | since it's not being supported in ubuntu | 19:22 |
| holstein | BUT upgrading should be find _pg_ , and you should get the generic kernel AFAIK | 19:22 |
| _pg_ | holstein: thanks! will try | 19:22 |
| holstein | furenku: the word is RT is not default | 19:22 |
| holstein | but in the repos | 19:22 |
| holstein | furenku: you should try the generic one though first | 19:22 |
| furenku | holstein: thanx, but i already did, and i'm getting quite a lot of xruns | 19:23 |
| holstein | furenku: OH | 19:23 |
| furenku | even with a high latency, that's why. but i'm not being able to boot into a newly installed rt kernel | 19:23 |
| holstein | well, try the RT one | 19:23 |
| holstein | did you install it? | 19:23 |
| holstein | linux-rt? | 19:24 |
| furenku | holstein, i'm trying to try it lol i'm however too blind to understand how to boot into it | 19:24 |
| holstein | OK | 19:24 |
| holstein | check out | 19:24 |
| furenku | holstein, i mean, i understand grub2 | 19:24 |
| holstein | hmm | 19:24 |
| furenku | but any changes i make in /default/grub seem to no avail | 19:24 |
| holstein | you dont see the menu when you boot? | 19:24 |
| furenku | not at all | 19:24 |
| furenku | do you know how to enable that? | 19:25 |
| holstein | try pushing escape | 19:25 |
| furenku | that'd be great help | 19:25 |
| furenku | ok | 19:25 |
| holstein | when you think you should see it | 19:25 |
| holstein | now that i think about it | 19:25 |
| holstein | i have the same issue on my EEE | 19:25 |
| furenku | do you know any other way of enabling it other than that? | 19:25 |
| holstein | in lucid | 19:25 |
| holstein | i did what i thought would un-hide it | 19:25 |
| holstein | and it didnt | 19:25 |
| holstein | and the escape trick works for me | 19:25 |
| holstein | after that, i forgot it was an issue | 19:26 |
| holstein | furenku: we should look for a bug on launchpad | 19:26 |
| furenku | ok i'll retry it now, i'll come back and let you know what happened | 19:26 |
| furenku | holstein, thats a good idea | 19:26 |
| holstein | i had a couple of nasty bugs, and i just forgot about that one | 19:27 |
| holstein | BIAB guys... | 19:28 |
| furenku | what's biab btw? | 19:28 |
| furenku | _pg_ so, just gonna try rebooting into rt kernel, i found a tool called startupmanager that seems to help choose which kernel to boot to in grub2, i'll let ya know | 19:30 |
| _pg_ | furenku: please do | 19:30 |
| _pg_ | furenku: preciate it | 19:30 |
| furenku | _pg_: i'm now running 10.04 lucid with -rt kernel, firewire audio seems to be running ok (i'll let it playing for some minutes and see what happens -- till now no XRuns). | 19:54 |
| holstein | furenku: W00t | 19:54 |
| holstein | good news | 19:54 |
| furenku | holstein, yes. | 19:54 |
| furenku | holstein, to be able to boot into -rt kernel , you have to modify /etc/default/grub to have the following in the first line: GRUB_DEFAULT="Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.31-10-rt" | 19:56 |
| furenku | changing the GRUB_DEFAULT to a number strangely did not work at all | 19:56 |
| _pg_ | furenku: awesome blossom. Im tackling that a different day, but will come back here when I inevitably run into issues! ;-] | 19:56 |
| furenku | oh! forgot to say. first you have to apt-get install linux-rt | 19:56 |
| furenku | lol | 19:56 |
| _pg_ | furenku: but if im not using audio production, just upgrading normally I can use the defaiut kernel with no modifying correct? | 19:57 |
| furenku | oh, if you're not interested in the rt kernel then there's no problems at all | 19:57 |
| furenku | hahha | 19:57 |
| holstein | _pg_ is upgrading from karmic | 19:57 |
| holstein | running the RT kernel right now | 19:57 |
| holstein | BUT i think you'll get the default lucid set-up | 19:58 |
| _pg_ | furenku: someone led me to believe that RT>not RT like x64>x32 for just raw speed | 19:58 |
| _pg_ | *slams face into computer* | 19:58 |
| _pg_ | that was a nightmare | 19:58 |
| holstein | _pg_: that upgrade will take quite a while | 19:58 |
| _pg_ | holstein: ok what is the syntax? | 19:58 |
| _pg_ | holstein: sudo apt-get upgrade ubuntu-studio-desktop-x64 or something | 19:59 |
| helo | can I install ubunstu on a thumb drive from the dvd? | 19:59 |
| holstein | i use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:00 |
| _pg_ | helo: yezzir. ubuntu startup disk creator | 20:00 |
| _pg_ | holstein: all one loine? | 20:00 |
| _pg_ | line* | 20:00 |
| holstein | but i think you can run update-manager -d or something like that | 20:00 |
| * holstein looks | 20:01 | |
| helo | i have no dvd drive, so i will try to install it through virtualbox... | 20:02 |
| holstein | helo: ive had issues with that | 20:02 |
| helo | well, no blank dvd ;) | 20:02 |
| helo | oh... hmmm | 20:02 |
| holstein | using unetbootin to create a bootable ubuntustudio install USB stick | 20:03 |
| holstein | any iso with the alternate text installer | 20:03 |
| holstein | seems to fail when locating the image | 20:03 |
| holstein | i have a USB DVD drive, so i havent been motivated to find a work around | 20:03 |
| holstein | yeh _pg_ , update-manager -d | 20:04 |
| holstein | that will lauch the normal update manager | 20:04 |
| holstein | and show a distribution upgrade available | 20:05 |
| holstein | helo: you can install from a normal lucid live CD | 20:05 |
| holstein | and add the ubuntustudio meta-packages | 20:05 |
| helo | ahhhh, perfect... thanks :) | 20:05 |
| helo | will that set up jackd, qjackctl, and amsynth? | 20:06 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu | 20:06 |
| holstein | helo: it will install them | 20:06 |
| holstein | 'set-up' is a matter of opinion ;) | 20:06 |
| holstein | depends on your gear really | 20:07 |
| holstein | helo: you dont need all the ubuntustudio packages really | 20:07 |
| helo | heh... i've been using jackd without -rt with passable results for practicing (just a usb 88-key midi controller that i'm learning on), but occasionally i get some clicks and pops | 20:07 |
| holstein | you can just install jack and whatever else you need | 20:08 |
| helo | on an intel atom | 20:08 |
| holstein | helo: COOL | 20:08 |
| helo | the main thing i'd like to try is a -rt kernel | 20:08 |
| holstein | is that a generic kernel in karmic? | 20:08 |
| helo | actually it's debian sid, but yes: just the generic kernel | 20:08 |
| holstein | you can probaly just sudo apt-get install linux-rt | 20:09 |
| holstein | BIAB | 20:09 |
| helo | it would be great if i could get my netbook to run well... my midi controller is usb powered, so it is a relatively portable setup | 20:10 |
| tucemiux | helo, did you install ubuntustudio on your netbook already? | 20:26 |
| helo | tucemiux: nope, only debian sid | 20:38 |
| helo | i'm going to try my thumb drive with ubuntu beta2 with linux-rt | 20:39 |
| helo | that should give similar results | 20:39 |
| tucemiux | helo, try netbook remix, goo luck! | 20:40 |
