[06:26] <psidrum> is it ok to install lucid apps into karmic
[06:27] <holstein> psidrum: what apps?
[06:27] <holstein> i did a few
[06:27] <holstein> in the lucid beta days
[06:27] <psidrum> ardourVST
[06:27] <psidrum> but made for lucid
[06:27] <holstein> is it a .deb?
[06:28] <psidrum> its in a ppa
[06:28] <holstein> hmmm
[06:28] <holstein> i dont know if you can add the PPA
[06:28] <psidrum> ok
[06:29] <holstein> shouldnt hurt to try though
[06:29] <holstein> the problem is going to be
[06:29] <psidrum> wouldnt screw up my system?
[06:29] <holstein> what else is in the PPA
[06:29] <psidrum> tons of stuff its from kxstudio
[06:29] <holstein> if the PPA has other versions of software that you've already got installed
[06:29] <holstein> THEN
[06:29] <holstein> when you update
[06:30] <holstein> your current version will want to be upgraded
[06:30] <holstein> and that could be bad
[06:30] <psidrum> even if the name is different? say Ardour, then ArdourVST
[06:30] <psidrum> will it try to update the regular ardour
[06:31] <holstein> well
[06:31] <holstein> like jack
[06:31] <holstein> jack2 from the KX ppa
[06:31] <holstein> willl want to replace jack
[06:31] <psidrum> i have 1.96
[06:31] <holstein> and there could be some dependancy issues somewhere with some packages
[06:32] <holstein> i would probably try it
[06:32] <holstein> and just be cautious when upgrading
[06:32] <holstein> however
[06:32] <holstein> i would also probably just upgrade to lucid
[06:35] <psidrum> ok will see, my current setup is great right now, running smooth
[06:35] <psidrum> thats why i havent upgraded
[06:37] <holstein> i know
[06:37] <holstein> i just did
[06:37] <holstein> finally
[06:38] <holstein> i still havent really tested it though
[07:26] <macinnisrr> I have a distro for beta release which contains more current versions (and more convenient scripts) of software, as well as realtime kernels with PAE support. I can package quite well, but have no idea how to make a source package or contribute upstream. How can I help?
[08:03] <jussi> macinnisrr: please join #ubuntustudio-devel
[10:35] <falktx> hi there
[10:35] <falktx> i was told you guys were looking for a "backporter"
[10:35] <falktx> i'll stick with lucid for some time (1 year at least), so I'll be happy to backport maverick packages anytime
[10:38] <falktx> maybe we could have a ubuntustudio ppa for this ?
[10:40] <jussi> falktx: please join us in #ubuntustudio-devel
[10:48] <falktx> i search for that channel...
[10:48] <falktx> see ya
[16:13] <Pablo_> does ardour require real-tine to convert from multi track to stereo track like ProTools?
[16:14] <rlameiro> Pablo_: i dont think ardour needs a realtime kernel for that
[16:17] <Pablo_> ok thanks, ill give it a try.
[16:43] <psidrum> i have dual core and my system stutters after a while playing 1080p mkv files is there anyway to prevent the stuttering
[16:44] <rlameiro> stutter??
[16:44] <rlameiro> sorry familiar with the word
[16:45] <rlameiro> but 1080p is not dependent only on the dual coe processor
[16:45] <rlameiro> it also depends on the graphic card
[16:53] <psidrum> just installed xbmc it works, plays better than mplayer
[16:54] <holstein> w00t
[16:55] <holstein> i like vlc
[16:55] <holstein> i end up using it for everything
[16:55] <holstein> but xbmc is awesome
[17:03] <psidrum> yea looks like they updated it, last time i installed it was buggy but now its nice!
