[13:31] <soundbyter> does anyone know how to safely uninstall pulse audio on lucid? Problem is if i try to uninstall it it goes to uninstalling ubuntu-netbook which is what i'm running (netbook)
[13:34] <jussi> soundbyter: is it just uninstalling the meta package?
[13:35] <jussi> if so, no big deal.
[13:51] <soundbyter> it wants to uninstall ubuntu-netbook
[13:51] <soundbyter> whatever that is
[21:34] <Bart__> Hi can someone tell me more about virtual audio cable loopback things
[22:13] <holstein> hey Bart__
[22:13] <holstein> what are you interested in exactly?
[22:17] <Bart__> sound must go from application a to application b without soundcard :)
[22:18] <holstein> OK
[22:18] <holstein> JACK
[22:18] <holstein> Bart__: check this out http://jackaudio.org/
[22:18] <rlameiro> yeap, jack then you can use qjackctl or patchage to route them
[22:19] <holstein> have you used JACK yet?
[22:19] <Bart__> I've tried but it is complaining it needs alsa?
[22:19] <holstein> a bit of a learning curve sometimes getting it up and running (jack)
[22:19] <holstein> BUT quite worth it
[22:19] <holstein> theres nothing else really like JACK
[22:19] <rlameiro> ohhh
[22:20] <rlameiro> you dont have really a soundcard....
[22:20] <holstein> Bart__: i would suggest trouble shooting jack
[22:20] <rlameiro> well that is weird
[22:20] <holstein> Bart__: if you dont have a sound card
[22:20] <Bart__> I don't have a soundcard
[22:20] <holstein> or want to use one
[22:20] <holstein> in qjack
[22:20] <rlameiro> so you should install a dummy soundcard
[22:20] <holstein> go to 'setup'
[22:20] <holstein> and select the driver 'dummy'
[22:20] <rlameiro> that may be something related to an alsa loopback or something
[22:20] <rlameiro> i really dont know how
[22:20] <holstein> like rlameiro ^^ says :)
[22:21] <holstein> i do that here
[22:21] <holstein> i run the dummy driver on a laptop
[22:21] <holstein> and get in and out via netjack
[22:22] <holstein> Bart__: where are you?
[22:22] <holstein> i have a stack of soundcards if your near me at all ;)
[22:22] <holstein> what are the chances though right
[22:22] <Bart__> it's a server ;)
[22:22] <Bart__> so no soundcard
[22:22] <holstein> OH
[22:22] <holstein> gotcah
[22:22] <holstein> gotcha*
[22:22] <Bart__> :)
[22:23] <holstein> the 'dummy' driver will do it
[22:23] <Bart__> hmz I see I can't even start jack
[22:23] <Bart__> cannot open existing shm registry segment (Function not implemented)
[22:23] <Bart__> no access to shm registry
[22:23] <holstein> whats te error?
[22:23] <holstein> OK
[22:23] <holstein> Bart__: what ubuntu are you on?
[22:23] <holstein> hardy?
[22:24] <Bart__> uh that old LTS one
[22:24] <holstein> yup
[22:24] <holstein> hardy
[22:24] <holstein> hmmm
[22:24] <holstein> still should work
[22:24] <rlameiro> weird
[22:24] <holstein> Bart__: so are you running X on that box at all?
[22:24] <holstein> are you starting jack from CLI ?
[22:24] <rlameiro> i think it doesnt have alsa installed
[22:25] <rlameiro> jack do relies on alsa
[22:25] <holstein> i dont know the proper arguments to pass to use 'dummy' from the CLI
[22:25] <Bart__> it's virtual x
[22:25] <holstein> i suppose it wont hurt to try
[22:25] <rlameiro> jackd -d dummy
[22:25] <Bart__> jackd -d dummy
[22:25] <holstein> you could install alsa and see if that helps
[22:26] <rlameiro> lol
[22:26] <Bart__> same error
[22:26] <Bart__> I installed the alsa files :p
[22:26] <holstein> other than that, have you asked in #jack ?
[22:26] <holstein> those guys are usually ON IT
[22:26] <Bart__> asking now :)
[22:27] <holstein> if i think of something, i'll shout it out :)
[22:27] <Bart__> I think it's strange that there is not a easy solution for that
[22:27] <Bart__> cuz even on windows it took like 2 minutes :o
[22:28] <Bart__> but I can't use that xD
[22:32] <rlameiro> solution its possible to exist
[22:32] <rlameiro> but remind that on windows you had a full desktop system
[22:32] <rlameiro> you are on a server...
[22:32] <Bart__> yeah I know :)
[22:41] <holstein> w0w
[22:41] <holstein> tough crowd over there ;)
[22:42] <holstein> ive been camped out there for about a year
[22:42] <holstein> somebody responded to me the other day
[23:16] <methods2> what's a good tool for video transcoding ?
[23:38] <holstein> methods2: how does pitivi work for you?
