ubottuHi! I'm #ubuntustudio's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots01:01
mothersofinventiI've just made a fresh install of Lucid and Ardour is complaining of jack. What should I do?04:06
holsteinhmmm04:06
holsteinmothersofinventi: whats the error?04:07
mothersofinventiwait04:07
holsteinOR better yet04:07
holsteinwhat device are you trying to use?04:07
mothersofinventiit simply say ardour is not connected to jack.04:08
holsteinmothersofinventi: close everything04:08
holsteinthen open qjackctl04:09
holsteinjack control04:09
mothersofinventiok04:09
mothersofinventiit's open04:09
holsteinhit the 'start' button04:09
holsteinwhat does it do?04:10
mothersofinventiit says 'Could not connect to JACK server as client. -Overall operation failed. -Unable to connect to server. Please check the messages window for more info.'04:11

holsteinwhat does it do?04:12
mothersofinventiterminal says 'suspending pulseaudio'...04:13
holsteinOK04:13
holsteinthats good04:13
mothersofinventimay I push start button again?04:13
holsteindid you hit the start button?04:13
holsteinyeah04:13

holsteinok04:19
holsteinclick ok04:20
holsteinand try start again04:20
holsteinthis is the deal04:20
mothersofinventiok04:20
holsteinyou gotta get jack started04:20
holsteinand then you'll be good to go with ardour04:20
holsteindid it start?04:20
mothersofinventiok, it says it is started.04:20
holsteinhmmm04:20
mothersofinventimay I open ardour then?04:21
holsteinnot yet04:21
mothersofinventiok04:21
holsteinwere running jack as root04:21
holsteinand we dont want to  do that04:21

holsteinand look down the page a bit04:22
holsteinabout half way04:22
holsteinthere is a few things i want you to do04:22
mothersofinventiok04:22
holsteinthis is important04:22

holsteinjust put your username in there04:23
holsteinthe user your going to be using with your studio04:23
holsteinup above that in that link04:23
holsteinthere is ...04:23
mothersofinventiit says that I'm already in that group.04:23
holsteinOIK04:24
holsteinOK*04:24
holsteindo you have 'ubuntu studio controls' installed?04:24
mothersofinventibut wait, I was messing around and changed my account to admin...04:24
holsteinhmm04:24
holsteinthat shouldnt matter04:24
mothersofinventiis that a problem?04:24
mothersofinventiok04:24
holsteinjust not the safest thing to do04:24
mothersofinventiok04:25
mothersofinventiyes, I have ubuntu studio controls, should I open it now?04:25
holsteinsure04:25

holstein#@audio - nice -19 <<BR>>04:25
holsteinthis is from that page04:25
holsteinsee if the settings match04:26
holsteinif not, try inputing those settings04:26
holsteinand then lets go back to working on getting jack to start normally04:26
mothersofinventiyou mean that "Real Time Support" of the page...04:28
holsteinyeah04:28
holsteinbut just set that in 'ubuntustudiocontrols'04:28
holsteinthe rt prioority to 9904:28
holsteinmemlock unlimited04:29
holsteinand nice -1904:29
mothersofinventiit has few controls.04:29
holsteinits got those though right?04:29
holsteini forget what that looks like exactly04:29
mothersofinventia box called 'Enable Memlock' with a combo box called "% of system memory"...04:30
mothersofinventianother box called 'Enable raw1394 access'04:30
holsteinhmmm04:31
* holstein going to studio box...04:31
mothersofinventithe last box is called 'Enable nice', follow by a combo called 'Nice percentage'.04:31
mothersofinventifollowed*04:32
holsteinmothersofinventi: OK04:35
holsteinclose that04:35
holsteinand let do it this way04:35

holsteinif they already say that04:37
holsteinthen we gotta look somewhere else04:37
mothersofinventiok04:38
holsteinhmmm, they already say that?04:38
mothersofinventisame values as the page's...04:39
holsteinOK04:39
holsteindo this for me04:39
holsteinclose the sudo qjack04:39
holsteinand open a normal jack control04:39
holsteinand check and make sure the 'setup' is the same04:40
holsteinwith the realtime box unchecked04:40
holsteinand see if it starts04:40
mothersofinventiok04:41
holsteinit started without complaining?04:41
mothersofinventiall fine.04:42
holsteinif you dont mind04:43
archaicclassCan anyone link me to a guide to adding ubuntu studio to my grub2 boot list? Apparently it didn't recognize my other OSes when I was installing it.04:43
holsteinstop it04:43
holsteinand go back in04:43
holsteinand check the realtime box04:43
holsteinand see if you still get an error04:43
holsteinarchaicclass: hey04:43
holsteincheck out...04:43
holstein!grub204:43
ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub204:43
holsteinarchaicclass: and let me know if that isnt what your looing for04:44
archaicclassalright thanks :)04:44
holsteinarchaicclass: in theory, running sudo apt-get update-grub should go and find everything04:45
holsteinSORRY04:45
holsteinsudo update-grub04:45
archaicclassAwesome, many thanks04:45
* holstein typed sudo apt-get a LOT today ;)04:45
mothersofinventiwell, with the rt checkbox checked it doesn't complain, it's simply FREEZING now...04:47
holsteininteresting04:48
holsteinyou probably dont need it04:48
holsteinthe RT box checked04:48
mothersofinventimmm...04:48
holsteinyou could try without for a while04:48
holsteinand see if its enough for you04:48
holsteini would expect it to not start if you werent running an RT kernel04:49
mothersofinventishould I start qjackclt, uncheck rt box and start ardour then?04:49
holsteinyup04:50
holsteinuncheck the RT box04:50
holsteinget jack running and 'happy'04:50
holsteinand then go for it04:50
holsteincheck out http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/04:51
mothersofinventisomething very weird happened.04:53
mothersofinventilet me restart the system to believe myself.04:53
holsteinhehe04:55
holsteinthat doesnt sound good04:55
holstein:/04:55
mothersofinventinevermind, system restarted, ardour opens without a problem, but with rt unchecked.04:57
mothersofinventiis that all?04:57
holsteinfor now04:59
holsteintil you need lower latency05:00
holsteinthen we would need to figure out why your not able to run jack with RT priority05:00
holsteinBUT come and find me if you get to that point05:00
mothersofinventithat is a good question.05:01
mothersofinventiokay, thank you for all.05:01
mothersofinventibye05:01
holsteinmothersofinventi: anytime05:01
holsteinhmmm05:06
holsteinnot you again ;)05:06
holsteinarchaicclass: did you get grub sorted out?05:06
archaicclassholstein: update-grub worked like a charm05:06
holsteinAWESOME05:06
holsteini cant imagine why it didnt get everything at install05:07
holsteinbut whatever :)05:07
archaicclassPerhaps it can't detect grub2, but heh, worked out in the end :)05:07
holsteinif you get a chance05:07
holsteincheck out http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/05:07
archaicclassCool, will do. Now to change all my ubuntu desktops to the studio theme :P05:08
holsteini usually just get the wallpaper05:09
holsteinBUT studio theme is slick05:10
archaicclassIndeed05:11
ChigginsHey, how do I connect the MIDI Keyboard program to Ardour through JACK?06:50
holsteinhey Chiggins06:51
holsteinwhat program?06:51
ChigginsI have Virtual Keyboard going to ZynAddSubFX, I would like ZynAddSubFX to go to Ardour. I'm just trying to feel the basic's of using JACK right now.06:52
holsteinhttp://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/qjackctl-ss1.html06:55
holsteinthe 8th and 9th images06:55
ChigginsI I have it connected now where I can see the levels rise in Master while using Ardour, but not an individual track06:55
holsteini have an 'alsa' tab06:55
holsteinand when i start vkeyboard06:56
holsteini route that to whatever synth06:56
holsteinBUT06:56
holsteinzyn has its own virtual keyboard06:56
holsteinChiggins: did you route it to the track?06:57
holsteinin JACK06:57
holsteinunder the 'audio' tab06:57
holstein?06:57
holsteinroute zyn's outputs to whatever channel you want in ardour06:57
holsteinand then 'arm06:57
holstein'06:57
holsteinthe track06:57
ChigginsWell right now i have ardour and zyn going to system06:59
Chigginsand if i do zyn to "master/in 1" in adrour, it shows up in the master levels06:59
holsteinyeah07:01
holsteinyou need to 'create a channel'07:01
holsteinin ardour07:01
holstein'create a track'07:01
holsteina stereo track07:01
holsteinand then send zyn to just that track07:02
holsteinunderr the ardour section07:02
holsteinin 'connections'07:02
holsteinbe sure to 'expand' ardour'07:02
holsteinhist the little + sign07:02
holsteinlike the 8th image down at http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/qjackctl-ss1.html07:03
holsteinyou see how ardour has 6 inputs07:04
holstein2 of those the 'mains'07:04
holsteinand the other 4 are 2 stereo tracks07:04
Chigginsalright, i have a stereo track called Audio 2... in JACK i have the entire zyn connected to Audio 2/in 1 and Audio 2/in 2, under the Ardour section07:04
Chigginsno levels showing up though07:05
holsteinChiggins: did you arm the track?07:07
holsteinyou have to hit the record button on the track07:07
Chigginswtf.. i cant click anything... O.O07:09
Chigginsimma restart my computer.. brb07:09
ChigginsHokay back, sorry about that07:13
ChigginsAlright, so I hit the record buttons and such, and that worked, I see the levels recorded in Ardour... But when I play it back, I hear nothing.07:16
ChigginsNvm.. Wasnt connected to system!07:17
ChigginsThanks all!07:18
holsteinall?07:19
holstein;)07:19

gniourf_gniourfhi, I just installed Ubuntu Studio on an old laptop, but X server doesn't seem to work! I just get a login prompt in TTY1 after booting...14:57
Blank__gniourf_gniourf, how old is old14:57
gniourf_gniourfit's a DELL from 200214:57
gniourf_gniourfubuntu 9.04 worked well on it, with wifi and all that14:58
gniourf_gniourfand ubuntu studio 8.04 was okay too14:58
Blank__hmm... read through the output of Xorg.0.log?14:59
gniourf_gniourfit's empty :)15:00
Blank__wow, that really is an X problem15:00
Blank__what does dmesg say?15:00
gniourf_gniourfmmhhhhh I don't really know what to look for in fact15:01
Blank__look for something about errors :p15:02
gniourf_gniourfsure yeah15:02
Blank__failing that, anything about things failing to launch15:02
Blank__segfaults, error messages, whatever can narrow it down15:02
gniourf_gniourfthere's: ACPI Warning for \_SB_.PCI0.VID2._DOD: Return Package has no elements (empty) (20090903/nspredef-433)15:03
gniourf_gniourfbut the laptop has two video cards, so this is probably not relevant15:03
Blank__hmm... not sure what that would mean, probably not15:04
gniourf_gniourf(this is about the second video card)15:04
gniourf_gniourfand there's nothing else15:04
gniourf_gniourfwell, nothing else that I can relate to an X problem15:05
Blank__so gdm isn't running?15:06
gniourf_gniourfno15:06
gniourf_gniourfwhen I type gdm:15:06
gniourf_gniourf** (gdm-binary:1398): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory15:07
Blank__so potentially dbus isn't even started?15:07
gniourf_gniourflooks like it...15:08
Blank__looks like a pretty complex bug to me15:08
gniourf_gniourfoh15:08
gniourf_gniourf:(15:08
Blank__to be honest i don't really know much about the underpinnings of linux :(15:09
Blank__so far it's all self taught, and that's left quite a few gaps15:09
gniourf_gniourfsame here actually... that's why I'm sometimes asking things on IRC channels :)15:10
Blank__same15:10
gniourf_gniourfoh well, thanks anyway...15:10
Blank__i dont ask as much as before though, because channels like #ubuntu are clogged with... for lack of a better term, newbs15:10
gniourf_gniourfyes indeed...15:11
Blank__google is my friend15:11
Blank__:p15:11
Blank__oh, another thing15:11
Blank__was this a fresh install or upgrade15:11
gniourf_gniourffresh install!15:13
gniourf_gniourfI installed it over a working ubuntu 9.0415:14
gniourf_gniourf:(15:14
Blank__wow, that's a bit strange15:19
gniourf_gniourfyes15:19
Blank__i wouldve expected this kind of trouble from an upgrade15:19
gniourf_gniourfmaybe I'm going to install 9.04 again and do an upgrade and install the ubuntu studio packages I need....15:20
Blank__give that a try and see what happens15:20
Blank__apart from the regression to -generic kernel as default, most things worked i remember15:21
gniourf_gniourfok I'l going to try this out15:21
Blank__and i'm off to bed :p15:21
gniourf_gniourfoh already ??15:21
gniourf_gniourfwhere do you live ?15:22
Blank__12:22AM15:22
Blank__aus maaaate15:22
gniourf_gniourfah ok :)15:22
Blank__</obligatory>15:22
gniourf_gniourfI'm from france15:22
gniourf_gniourfit's 4:22 pm here15:22
Blank__ah15:22
gniourf_gniourfgood night then :)15:22
gniourf_gniourfand thanks15:22
Blank__you're welcome, don't think i helped much, but at least you got a response :p15:22
gniourf_gniourfyes :)15:23
Blank__'night15:23
gniourf_gniourfgood night ;)15:23
vladaa lot of nice apps is buried under various repositories in ubuntu. Is the some easy way to search for desired app online (something similar to opensuse)? For example, falk repository is great for linux multimedia.15:24
holsteinvlada: i usually just find things searching google17:12
holsteinOR news podcasts17:12
holsteinhttp://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/17:13
holsteinnot a news podcast necessarily, but they share info on new opensource projects17:14
vladanice link17:17
vladabookmarked! thanx a lot17:17
vladaI have no problim to find software I'm looking for, boot noobs might, easily.17:18
vladahttp://software.opensuse.org/17:18
vladatake a look at this17:18
vladait's easy pure and simple17:18
vladawe need something like that for ubuntu too17:19
holsteinwe've got the new software center though17:27
holsteini guess that is not by default installed in ubuntustudio17:27
holsteinBUT its very newb friendly17:27
holsteinmaybe getdeb too17:29
holsteinhttp://blog.getdeb.net/17:29
holsteinlooks like its down though17:29
holsteinhttp://wiki.getdeb.net/17:30
holsteini never find anything at getdeb :/17:31
vladawelll17:46
vladasoftware center is nice place for newbies17:46
vladabut it's just that17:46
vladano exotic thing can be found there17:47
vladasynaptic is a bit better (more powerful), yet it doesn't provide solution for finding desired software online. too bad!17:48
vladaand the only way to find "exotic" software is through someones blog (usually repo creator's blog)17:49
vladaholstein, we need something in between - intermediate solution17:50
vladaeasy is there, advanced too, but not intermediate one...17:51
abstraktanyone here using the restricted wireless/nvidia drivers with success on the rt kernel?18:04
holsteinabstrakt: ive got an RT kernel on a box using a restricted broadcom wifi driver18:06
holsteindoes the device work with the generic kernel?18:07
abstraktholstein, it does18:07
abstraktholstein, i've had it happen twice now where after enabling restricted drivers, my grub gets screwed18:07
abstraktso like after the BIOS boots all i get is a black screen with a blinking cursor and my keys just beep18:08
holsteingrub?18:08
abstraktwell, the mbr, grub, the bootloader18:08
holsteinhmmm18:08
abstraktit gets b0rked18:08
holsteini was thinking that would be more graphics driver related18:08
abstrakthappend in 10.04 and then i went back to 9.10 and it just happened again18:08
abstraktyeh well this time18:08
abstraktsee i thought so to18:08
abstraktbut this time18:08
abstrakti didn't install the graphics driver at all18:09
holsteinSO18:09
holsteinyou enable the repo18:09
abstrakti waited like 2 weeks, machine worked fine, i was real hesitant to install the drivers cuz i didn't wanna bring down my system18:09
holsteinand the update?18:09
holsteinthen*18:09
abstraktand just yesterday i guess it was, i installed the broadcom STA and it said i had to reboot and boom... black screen of death with beepy keys18:10
abstrakti had been running the rt kernel at the time of install18:10
holsteinhmmm18:10
holsteinthats the one im using18:10
abstraktthis is all 64 bit too btw18:10
holsteinOH18:10
abstraktwhich i think, actually might be the main problem :/18:10
holsteini got 32-bit18:10
abstraktbut i really need low latency18:10
holsteinyou should just do 32-bit i say18:10
abstraktand 64 bit gives me such better performance18:11
holsteini get low latency18:11
abstraktwell really what i need to do is buy a separate laptop specifically to run the synthesizer18:11
abstraktand use it like an "instrument" like a guitar or anything else18:11
abstraktor i just need to upg from my core 2 duo 2.0GHz to an i7 :)18:11
holsteini think ALL 64-bit distros should just say -beta ;)18:11
abstraktagreed :(18:12
holsteinim planning on getting some new hardware18:12
abstraktbut seriously, way better latency performance on 64 bit18:12
holsteinBUT i'll just run 32bit on it18:12
abstraktesp after you stack about 5 tracks each with say 1-3 fx18:12
holsteinabstrakt: i get below 2ms18:12
abstraktboom latency is crap18:12
holsteinstable18:12
holsteinon a P4 with a gig of ram18:13
abstrakthmm, what are your system specs?18:13
abstraktdesktop?18:13
holstein2.418:13
holsteinyeah, but18:13
holsteini get really similar to that18:13
abstrakt2.4 GHz?18:13
holsteinwith a 1.2 with a gig of ram18:13
holsteinwith the same interface18:13
abstrakthmm... wtf then18:13
abstrakti've got a core 2 duo 2.0GHz w 4G of RAM18:13
holsteini can get around 5ms stable18:13
abstraktsee i can get 5ms18:13
holsteinand if im not pushing it hard18:13
abstraktexactly18:13
holsteini can get 218:14
holsteinwith the lappy18:14
abstraktbut things go to hell when i do something as simple as change the sound using AMS18:14
abstraktor press play in ardour18:14
abstrakttry adding 5 wav tracks to ardour and put about 3 plugins each on them18:14
holsteini get xruns sometimes18:14
abstraktyeh xruns18:14
abstraktsee i want zero xruns18:14
holsteinwhen opening programs18:14
holsteinnever using ardour though18:14
abstrakthmm18:14
abstrakti get xruns just moving the mouse18:15
abstraktat lower latencies18:15
holsteinhmmm18:15
abstraktand then sometimes jack totally just plain crashes18:15
holsteinhave you looked at cat /proc/interrupts18:15
abstraktand at one point, it froze and when i re-booted, boom, no more grub :/18:15
holsteini have another lappy18:15
holsteinand the USB is ont he same IRQ as the firewire18:15
holsteinand if i have ANYTHING pluged into the USB ports18:16
abstraktwell i'm not trying to use anything more than a USB keyboard18:16
holsteinits xruns18:16
holsteinconstant18:16
holsteinotherwise18:16
abstraktwell USB piano/keyboard18:16
holsteini can push that one like my desktop18:16
holstein2ms18:16
holsteinits a 2.4 too18:16
abstrakthmm, so then what kind of sound interface do you run?18:16
abstraktor own i mean?18:16
holsteinP4 with a gig of ram18:16
abstraktno no your inputs18:16
abstraktdo you record?18:16
holsteinpresonus firepod18:17
abstraktlike recording studio? records?18:17
abstraktah, i have one of those18:17
abstraktit's in storage right now18:17
abstrakti just bought an M-Audio FastTrack Pro18:17
abstraktUSB18:17
abstraktworks great, auto-recognized18:17
abstraktetc18:17
holsteini do various projects18:17
holsteinlive stuff18:17
abstraktwill go down to like 2ms18:17
abstraktbut then i get wicked xruns18:17
holsteinsmall 30 second things18:17
holsteini dont do alot of MIDI18:17
abstrakton non-realtime i can't go much below 1024 without getting xruns18:17
abstraktyeh i do a fair bit of MIDI18:18
holsteinyou should be able to d better than me then18:18
holsteinperformance wise18:18
holsteinin some cases18:18
abstraktholstein, but this is what i'm saying though...18:18
abstraktxruns18:18
holsteinlook at cat /proc/interrupts18:18
holsteinrun18:19
holsteincat /proc/interrupts18:19
holsteinin a terminal18:19
holsteinand see what all is being shared by your USB ports18:19
abstraktk looking18:19
abstrakti'll pastebin hold on18:19
holsteinif the IRQ that your mouse is on18:19
holsteinis the same as the one that your fast track is plugged into18:19
holsteinthat should trigger some xruns18:19
holsteinwhen runing jack and using the mouse18:20
holsteinwell, can maybe not should18:20
abstrakthttp://pastebin.ca/187795318:20
abstraktahhh, interesting ok18:20
abstraktyeah that could explain the mouse xruns18:20
abstraktactually it's the trackpad18:20
abstraktcuz i don't have my mouse setup right now18:20
abstraktso what am i looking for in that paste? how do i tell what's what?18:21
holsteinhave you tried jack with the internal card?18:21
holsteinjust for trouble-shooting18:21
abstraktyah works fine18:21
abstraktdoesn't change much18:21
abstraktin terms of the performance18:22
holsteini would unplug all USB devices18:22
abstraktbut it does work18:22
holsteinand try the internal card18:22
abstraktuhhh... not gonna use that card for real though, sorry18:22
abstraktand i've tried it, it works18:22
holsteincat /proc/interrupts18:22
holsteinOOPS18:22
holstein 21:        580        575   IO-APIC-fasteoi   uhci_hcd:usb4, uhci_hcd:usb6, HDA Intel18:22
holsteinthat means that several of your USB ports18:22
holsteinand your onboard sound are on the same IRQ18:23
abstraktahh indeed18:23
abstraktHigh Definition Audio18:23
holsteinyou got a lot of USB devices lumped together18:23
holsteinother than that18:23
abstrakts/High/Mediocre/18:23
abstraktbut yeah18:23
holsteinits not mad18:23
holsteinbad*18:23
abstraktso i'm not using the internal device, i'm using the single thing i have plugged into USB at the moment18:23
holsteinyour firewire is off by itself :)18:24
abstraktwhich is my M-Audio18:24
holsteinassuming its a nice chip18:24
abstraktyeh i'm not using the firewire though18:24
abstraktwell i do have a fw vid camera18:24
holsteinabstrakt: what chip is it?18:24
abstraktbut i never use that at the same time, i can't stream with it, so i just record to the tape18:24
abstraktmy firewire chip?18:24
abstrakti dunno18:24
holsteinif you run lspci18:24
abstraktor my CPU?18:24
holsteinthe firewire18:24
abstraktRicoh Co Ltd R5C83218:25
holsteinhmmm18:25
holsteini think thats bad18:25
abstraktFireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller18:25
holsteini had bad luck with the ricoh i tried18:25
holsteinon a macbook18:25
holsteini got a texas instruments18:25
holsteina couple TI's actually18:25
holsteinand a via that linux likes18:26
holsteinanyways18:26
abstraktsee this wouldn't be a problem, if jack didn't crash because of the xruns18:26
holsteini think you might want to spend a little time thinking about the hardware setup18:26
abstrakti can set my latency to a tolerable level18:26
abstraktwhich is 11ms18:26
abstraktthat's the most i can stand18:26
abstraktbut i still get jack crashes every now and then18:26
holsteinalso18:27
holsteinask in #opensourcemusicians18:27
abstraktso the system is, from a practical standpoint, almost useless18:27
holsteini think there are a few 64bit guys over there18:27
holsteini would try a couple live-distros18:27
holsteinand see if i could isolate the hardware from the software issues18:27
holsteinabstrakt: i would run sudo qjackctl too18:29
holsteinand start something else sudo18:29
holsteinfor trouble-shooting18:29
holsteinand see if the xruns are improved or not18:30
holsteinalso18:30
holsteini found 10.04 to be a little more 'peppy'18:30
abstrakti found 64 bit to be more peppy18:31
abstraktbut not much diff in 10.0418:31
holsteinmaybe im just imagining it becase it shiny and new ;)18:31
holsteinbut i think i get a little more stable RT experience too18:31
holsteinless problematic software18:31
drmacrogot a fresh install ubs10.04 qjackctl can't connect to JACK server as client...this system worked fine in 9.10 whats new?19:33
holsteindrmacro: try starting19:33
holsteinsudo qjackctl19:34
holsteinif its starts then19:34
holsteinyou know its a permissions error19:34
holsteindrmacro: ALSO19:34
holsteinas regular user19:34
holsteingo into 'setup' and uncheck the realtime box19:35
holsteinyou can run uname -a to see what kernel your running19:35
holsteinBUT AFAIK ubuntustudio is shipping with the generic kernel19:35
drmacroI thought if you selected the audio option it loaded the preempt kernel?19:36
drmacroyep 2.6.32-22-preempt19:36
holsteinCOOL19:36
holsteinso the RT box SHOULD be cool then19:37
holsteinBUT try those 2 things19:37
drmacroso sudo qjackctl no worky, modprobe shows raw1394, user has audio & video, ubs controls set, /dev/raw1394 rw-rw---19:38
holsteinwhat device?19:38
drmacroaf12 ...used in ubs for over a year...9.04, 9.1019:39
drmacroTI chipset19:39
drmacroffado-mixer won't run either19:40
drmacrowell actually, it runs, just doens't find anything...19:40
holsteindoes it show up running lspci?19:40
holsteinwhat about running aplay -l or arecord -l19:41
drmacrolspci shows the firewire controller, aplay shows the on board intel device19:43
holsteinhmmm19:43
holsteinwhat driver are you choosing?19:43
holsteinfirewire?19:43
holsteinin qjackctl19:43
drmacroyes19:43
holsteinwhat are the errors?19:44
holsteinwhen running sudo qjackctl ?19:44
drmacroahh...it worked that time...WTF19:45
holsteinso19:46
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation19:46
holsteincheck out the stuff about permissions on the firewire devices19:46
holsteinactually19:47
holsteini dont see it there19:48
holsteini think its just19:48
drmacroyeah, but...sudo qjackctl failed before...19:48
holsteinsudo adduser "youruser" audio19:48
holsteinsudo adduser "youruser" video19:48
drmacrodid that from the getgo...19:48
holsteinhmmm19:48
holsteinwell19:48
holsteinif your staring qjacksudo19:48
holsteinand not normal user19:49
holsteinits permissions19:49
drmacroI'll need to reboot and see if it works again...if not I'l recheck all the steps...thanks for the help19:49

holsteinyou get the audio production meta-package22:37
holsteininflood: you can go to synaptic22:37
infloodso much information .___.22:37
holsteinand search ubuntustudio22:37
holsteinand read at your leisure22:37

infloodOkay :D22:38
holsteinhardy was the last LTS22:38
holsteinLTS long term support release22:38
holsteinthat was 8.0422:38
infloodBut first I'll have to get myself a computer I wanna use as testbox for all my linux-testing :)22:38
holsteinthe 8 means 200822:38
holsteinand the .04 means april22:38
infloodand the .1 means the first?22:39

holstein8.04 (hardy) was an LTS22:40
holsteinand so is 10.04 (lucid)22:40
infloodLTS?22:40
infloodLong Term Support22:40
infloodoh22:40

holsteini think its settled into every 2 years though22:42
infloodThe "Canonical Hosted" ?22:42
holstein8.04, 10.04 12.0422:42
holsteinbut they dont have to do that22:42
holsteinthey might skip that if its not 'stable' enough or something22:43
infloodok22:43
inflood'I have one question22:43
holsteinyup22:43
infloodCan it be used for making a radio station?22:43
inflood:P22:43
holsteininternet radio?22:43
infloodYes22:43
holsteini use an icecast server22:43
holsteinhere at my house22:44
infloodicecast -->server<--22:44
holsteinits running on a lucid server install22:44
holsteinon an old P322:44
holstein!icecast22:44
holsteinhmmm22:44
infloodSo you've installed ubuntustudio on it and also an icecast server?22:44
infloodlawl :P22:44
holsteininflood: thats just the server part22:44
holsteinthe backend22:44
holsteini installed it on a server install22:44
holsteinubuntuserver 10.0422:45
inflood.___.22:45
infloodI'm lost now22:45
holsteinhttp://www.icecast.org/22:45
infloodI know icecast :)22:45
infloodanyway22:45
holsteinOK22:45
infloodYou installed Ubuntu Server and then installed Icecast on it?22:45
holsteinthats just the way i did it22:45
infloodOkay22:45
holsteini got the server backend running here22:45
infloodSounds clever22:45
holsteinand i can stream to it22:46
infloodSo you actually have an internet radio station? :o22:46
holsteinfrom somewhere else if i want22:46
holsteininflood: i dont keep it on 24/722:46
holsteinbut you can22:46
holsteinand 'register' it or whatever22:46
infloodstream to it = choose what music is played on the radio staiton?22:46
holsteinyup22:46
infloodyou have to register it to keep it on 24/7?22:46
holsteinim not sure22:46
holsteinprobably not22:46
holsteini just do it as needed22:47
infloodwell, if you have to register, then the whole open-source-everything-is-free disappears :b22:47
holsteinand im sure my bandwidth would crack if i got a lot of listeners22:47
holsteininflood: like register with some service that tells people its there22:47
infloodI gotta get myself a computer I can use to install linux on .__.22:47
infloodLike SHOUTcast?22:48
holsteinyeah22:48
infloodAah22:48
holsteinit might just do it automatically22:48
holsteini hanvet checked22:48
infloodholstein: how many listeners is it possible to have on a 6 Mbit bandwidth internet connection blah blah22:48
holsteintheres a 'public' option in the clients22:48
holsteinand sometimes i set it up that way22:48
holsteinbut ive never checked22:49
holsteinand its usually up for about a gig22:49
holstein2 hours or so22:49
holsteinand i shut it down22:49
inflood.____.22:49
holsteingig=show22:49
holsteinhmmm22:49
infloodwait.. what do you use your radio station for?22:49
holsteini got less than 2Mbits upload22:49
holsteinand ive had 20 on there22:49
infloodOh.. me too22:49
holsteinwith no problems22:50
infloodI got like.. 2mbit aswell I think :)22:50
holsteini havent tested where it will 'break down'22:50
holsteinyou can limit the connections though22:50
holsteinAND mess with the quality22:50
holsteinto help it fit the bandwidth22:50
infloodWell...... It's because I am inlove with linux, and I want to do something called Denner Radio, for some of my friends, which me and 2 of my friends used to do at my continuation school, and I now want to do a show or two again :)22:50
holsteinhttp://butt.sourceforge.net/22:51
infloodWell, mess with the quality is not really a good thing to do :/22:51
holsteini think thats the easiest client22:51
infloodLOL butt xD22:51
infloodQuestion: Is it possible to talk to the listeners?22:51
infloodWith a microphone22:51
holsteinbut theres idjc in ubuntu22:52
holsteinin idjc there was a mic in22:52
infloodWhich is?22:52
holsteinwith a mute22:52
holsteinand 2 sources22:52
holsteinpretty slick22:52
infloodkewl22:52
holsteini use darkice now at home22:52
infloodIs it possible to put the track-sound to 25% or something, so that they can hear you speak while the music is still playing?22:52
holsteinit supports JACK22:52
holsteininflood: yup22:53
infloodawesome ^^22:53
holsteinin idjc22:53
infloodAnd if I install Ubuntu Server, it automaticly comes with idjc, right?22:53
holsteini dont think so22:53
inflood-.-22:53
infloodBut you can install it, right?22:53
holsteinyou can do it all on a desktop box though22:53
holsteinyou only need an icecast server22:54
holsteinand a client like idjc22:54
infloodyesh22:54
holsteinyou can do it on the same box22:54
infloodI understood that22:54
holsteini just dont22:54
holsteinOK22:54
infloodbut does ubuntu come with idjc?22:54
holsteinyou can install it22:54
infloodok22:54
holsteini just searched22:54
holsteinand its still in lucid22:55
infloodkewl22:55
holstein:)22:55
infloodso it's standard in lucid?22:55
holsteinyou shouldnt have to do anything funky to get it22:55
infloodand when you say lucid, you mean ubuntustudio?22:55
holsteinjust sudo apt-get install idjc22:55
holsteinOR seach idjc from where ever you install packages22:56
infloodWhat does that command do?22:56
holsteinthat installs idjc22:56
infloodYou know, you have to speak to me like I'm a complete newbie, I've never used Linux before.. Only the linux-ish that exist on my mac, like the terminal :)22:56
holsteinin really any buntu thats using the standard ubuntu software sources (repositories)22:56
holsteininflood: OH22:56
holsteinyeah22:56
holsteinyou dont have to do that22:57
inflood^___^22:57
infloodDo what?22:57
holsteinthere is a software center22:57
holsteinand you just search for idjc22:57
holsteinand click install22:57
holsteinin linux22:57
holsteinubuntu22:57
holsteinall the software comes from repositories22:57
holsteinand you set those up seperately22:57
infloodoh22:57
holsteinsome are set up at install22:57
infloodokay22:57
infloodnice22:57
infloodnow I understand ^^22:58
holsteinand everything (updates) come from the same place pretty much22:58
holsteinyou are not limitied to this though22:58
infloodaah, okay ^__^22:58
holsteinyou can build things22:58
holsteinor add repos22:58
holsteinBUT in any standare lucid isntall22:59
holsteindeckstop or what ever22:59
holsteinyou can just intall idjc and icecast easily22:59
infloodokay22:59
infloodsounds great ^^22:59
