[00:00] tucemiux, what do you use now? [00:00] vlada, i just finished installing ubuntu studio 10.04LTS using an ISO, im configuring my laptop rightg now [00:00] no need to install the headers file manually (i don't think it's necessary actually but i could be wrong), synaptic will do it all [00:01] ScottL, i do need the headers actually otherwise some software wont work, like virtualbox, that needs the headers [00:01] tucemiux, what audio card are you using? integrated or you have some external? [00:02] vlada, integrated and it works really flaky [00:02] also keep in mind, the kernel for 10.04 is 2.6.32 i believe, a real time kernel does not exist for the 2.6.32 kernel as igno never made the patch [00:03] tucemiux, yes, i do believe you need the header files if you are using virtual box [00:03] ScottL, how do i install the header files using apt-get??? I have to install a lot of stuff manually, like the software center and the wireless utility gnome [00:04] you *can* find a -rt kernel in the repositories but it should be the 2.6.31 kernel, which works pretty well, but it is an older kernel and may not support some hardware that 2.6.32 might [00:04] tucemiux, I might be wrong, but with that kind of hardware you might be forced to use -preempt or even -rt kernel :( [00:04] tucemiux, software center should be installed on lucid 10.04 [00:05] and you can also find network manager to configure networks on the ISO [00:05] i'll find some documentation, hold on [00:05] ScottL, software center is not installed automatically using the ISO [00:06] tucemiux, I'm really not sure you even need it [00:06] ScottL, sudo apt-get install software-center network-manager-gnome [00:06] I have never used it personally [00:06] vlada, the software center?!? 0_o [00:06] yes [00:06] synaptic is much better [00:07] vlada, i use apt-get, sometimes i use synaptic, other times i use software center, basically it's software center, if i cant find what i want i use synaptic -- then once I find out the name of the package I use apt-get afterwards [00:09] tucemiux, well, we have to agree that diversity is good :) I have gentoo background so I really used to use terminal a lot. [00:09] Software center almost never but synaptic regularly. [00:09] yup yup [00:09] hmm, tucemix that is strange because i was sure it was working (software center installed) :/ i'll have to look into that at some point [00:10] ScottL, its not installed by default [00:10] ScottL, on lucid is not installed by default [00:11] tucemiux, yes, i thought we had fixed that but apparently not, it will have to be looked at later [00:12] some people are unable to get their latptop configured for network (perhaps because they don't have a cable and a router to plug into) using gnome-network-admin [00:13] that would be awesome, if i find other things i'll let you know, im actually going to install ubuntustudio on virtualmachines and try to exorcise pulse audio until I get it right [00:13] however, network-manager and network-manager-applet are both on the ISO and can be installed from there without configuring the network [00:13] of course at which point you should be able to configure your network using network-manager [00:14] here is the bug with more information about getting around the disabled gnome-network-admin gui https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/570828 [00:14] Launchpad bug 570828 in gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) "gnome-network-admin on UbuntuStudio doesnt allow to configure either wired networks or wireless" [High,Triaged] [00:19] ScottL, thanks, i already found a fix to that one, sort of, i use the gnome wireless app, it works just fine, and once you get the wireless to go up once it'll fire on its own afterwards [00:19] im going to go now and finish configuring my distro, ill be back later on tonight, hopefully [02:32] hello. [02:37] when i downloaded the dvd i386 ubuntu studio 10.04 i dont get an option to try before install,...so how do i get to "try" it more importantly how can i use the disc as a repository so i can go online wirelessly - [02:38] i am on my ubuntu 10.04 live disc right now,...ubuntu studio is already installed [03:01] ubuntu_, the ubuntu studio disc is the "alternate" install disc, it does not have a "live disc" option [03:08] ScottL, i was trying to figure out how i can get connected wireless to the internet. [03:09] ScottL, it couldnt configure the network during install and now everything is said and done - i have a firefox icon but no network icon to connect to [03:10] ubuntu_: do you have ethernet cable connected? [03:10] or just wireless? [03:10] wireless, ethernet is not an option at the moment [03:11] well, that its going to be tricky, because you may need to download restricted drivers in order to your wireless card to work [03:12] rlameiro, i found network-manager on the ISO disc (also network-manager-applet) [03:13] my usb has worked with every distro ive tried. knock wood- how can i install the network manager from the iso disc? [03:13] ScottL: yes, the disk has it, but the wireless drivers arent always on the disk, because some of them are propietary [03:13] rlameiro, oh okay [03:14] * ScottL doesn't use wireless on ubuntu studio [03:14] ubuntu_: you need to add your install dvd as a repository [03:14] then go to synaptics and search for network manager [03:14] how do i add the install dvd as a repository? [03:15] i am hoping to be lucky enough to just need to be able to donwload the network manager :) [03:15] on sistem ---> administration [03:16] there is something like software sources or alike [03:16] i have my system in portuguese, so i dont know the english name [03:17] then on the second tab (maybe "other software") click on add cd [03:17] sometimes it is already activated [03:18] sorry, not activated, but already added, you need to select them for the fist tab [03:18] on the check box [03:18] then go to synaptics update [03:18] it will give you a bunch of erros, because you dont have internet [03:18] search the package and try to install [03:20] that should give me the network manager though, once i get that i should be ok, mint 9 and kubuntu/ubuntu 10.04 all worked well with my wireless usb [03:21] thank you guys ill be back hopefully from ym system and not this live disc.. [03:21] np [03:21] good luck ubuntu_ [03:21] rlameiro, how are you doing today? [03:21] ubuntu_: one more thing [03:22] if it says it failed installing, keep trying [03:22] it seems it will install a package at a time, because you dont have internet [03:22] i am not sure why that happens thoug [03:22] ScottL: I am fine, thank you :D [03:22] and you? [03:23] wow..looks like im in for a long night [03:23] I am really happy that you are a ubuntu member :D [03:23] ubuntu_: sorry, this edition of ubuntustudio had some network problems [03:23] that was out of our hands [03:23] someone change some stuff and forgott to tell us :D [03:24] this is my first time using it. even.. [03:24] but we are trying to fix it [03:24] oh, thank you rlameiro , i've been working on that for awhile :) [03:25] i know i should get internet, im on a live disc and connected,... most of the day my freidn was on his laptop as well while ubuntustudio took 1000 hours and its sweet time installling [03:25] ScottL: what does that means, beeing a ubuntu member? ehat are you responsabilities and [03:25] ubuntu_: Ubuntustudio has a very big footprint [03:26] i chose everything as well,... all the suites [03:26] ubuntu_: half of the installing time is due to the fonts.... its the slowest process on the install [03:26] there you go [03:27] lol on ubuntu studio having a big foot print.... wait till i get the non studio items i use - [03:28] ubuntu_: what do you use? [03:28] rlameiro, no new responsibilities, mainly prestige and it affords a few "privileges", like voting for council [03:29] i prefer xchat and / pidgin - kompozer kdenlive [03:29] ScottL: humm, push for more ubuntustudio support!!!! [03:29] rlameiro, i mainly did this so i can send my blog to the planet ubuntu blog aggregate so i can reach more people with ubuntu studio news :) [03:29] ScottL: you are a marketing man :D [03:29] that's really the only "privilege" that i'm interested at this point ;) [03:29] ubuntu_: well, that arent big programms [03:30] much better than to "emulate" ubuntu studio by adding everything else [03:31] ubuntu_: you know, you can install ubuntu vanila, and then instal the ubuntustudio metapackages [03:31] and if you are on 64 bits ubuntu, you can also install the preempt kernel [03:31] that way you will not have network issues [03:33] what is the vanilla just right after the live disc finishes installing? [03:33] vanila, is the pure ubuntu [03:33] the standard ubuntu if you like it [03:34] what are the packages,..because if this doesnt work i will go with the vanilla install. [03:34] humm [03:35] ubuntu_: did you used ubuntu before? [03:35] if so, you can search for the ubuntustudio packages directly in synaptics [03:36] i am asking, because some users dont use synaptics, only the software center, and the packages arent there [03:36] ubuntu_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu [03:36] search for ubuntustudio [03:36] they will come up [03:36] that wiki page will tell you exactly what to install to get all the ubuntu studio functionality [03:37] well, better with the command line:D [03:37] i have used ubuntu since karmic. but have been on kubuntu for most of the time [03:37] at least it is faster :D thanks ScottL [03:37] however, you might avoid the -rt kernel since it will be a regression since the kernel will be 2.6.31-rt [03:37] lucid currently has the 2.6.32 kernel [03:38] but i have also found that the 2.6.32 -generic kernel has been very, very good for recording audio [03:42] thank you all again so very much. [03:42] i have to run for a few.... but i will try this as soon as i get back.... [03:43] good luck ubuntu_ [03:44] luck ubuntu_ [03:44] thank you, if this works....i should be back on under my normal name...'zus' nice meeting youse [03:45] ScottL: so, if you get in touch with MS, ask him to hire someone for the Studio departement :D [03:45] it would be nice to have someone to figure out the audio problems once for all :D [03:45] rlameiro, MS? [03:46] oh shuttleworth :D [03:46] yeap :D [03:46] if he does that, i will donate 100 € [03:46] i doubt i'll be rubbing elbows with mark shuttleworth, however it would be cool [03:47] cory was asked to a UDS and the story is that MS is the one who invited him [03:48] thats nice :D [03:48] cheers! [03:49] really, if one thing i gave it to the guy that spoke at LAC about pulse and jack [03:49] there is no real effort on audio in linux, besides on the mobile devices, where is the money now [03:50] linux desperately needs to have a unified audio api [03:50] that would be really, really nice :D [03:50] or Maximum 2 [03:50] jack and PA working nicely on top of ALSA [03:51] i believe we will get jack/pa working together well if lehnard poettering doesn't add another api any time soon [03:51] lol [03:51] well, true to be told it didnt happened on windows also [03:51] when they wanted good audio, came a company an made it [03:52] Steinberg - ~ASIO [03:52] that's where mac's are nice, one way to do *anything*...of course, it all "just works" [03:52] only ones that always had good audio support was apple [03:52] lol, same thought [03:52] they have their problems too [03:52] but way more easy to work it ou :D [03:54] if we don't get answers soon on the gnome-network-admin disabled gui soon, i'm thinking of changing the seeds to network-manager is installed by default [03:54] if people have trouble with it they can install network-admin after install [03:56] ScottL: well, but can we do something? isnt that issue out of our hands? [03:58] what i mean is, can we regress the patch? or must it be done for a "higher " rank DEV? [03:58] we can seed whatever we want, more or less, it's our choice [03:58] yes i knoe, but we dont have the power to change network manager [03:59] ScottL: i am thinking maybe WICD [03:59] it could be a middle soulution [04:06] sorry, three year old son bloodied his lip [04:07] rlameiro, i've been contacting one of the people who applied to disable gui patch to gnome-network-admin [04:07] he says he is really busy lately, but i'll keep bugging him [04:07] his you son ok? [04:08] yes, a little ice in a wash cloth and he's watching Thomas the Train movies in our bed now :) thank you [04:08] if the disable gui patch isn't removed then gnome-network-admin is useless [04:09] exactly [04:09] then we should probably use network-manager by default, which falls in line with ubuntu-desktop [04:09] in wich case we either can choose WICD or nm-applet [04:09] if users find they have latency issues with network-manager then we can suggest that they download and install gnome-network-admin [04:10] yep, but then thy will have the same problem [04:10] which they can do since they should have network-manager installed from disc which is functional and allows them to configure network [04:10] network-manager and gnome-network-admin are two different applications [04:10] exactly [04:11] gnome network admin will bring again the same problem, if they install it [04:11] oh, gotcha, but they can configure their network connection with network-manager i believe [04:11] and then use network-admin [04:11] i think [04:12] well, with wireless isnt that simple [04:12] with wired yes [04:12] ah [04:12] AFAIK Wicd seems to me a more mature app [04:13] well, i'll keep knocking on the dev for network-admin and there is Wicd also as you say [04:13] before nm-applet, wicd was my salvation for the pain in the ass WIFI configuration [04:13] also, wicd could be less intrusive than network manager [04:19] i guess people do not look to see what launchpad tells them might be a duplicate bug when they file them :/ [04:20] i just marked one duplicate now [04:20] 10 minutes ago.. [04:44] yeah, that's what i was talking about,\ [05:21] ScottL: i dont know much about traverso [05:21] i see its in the repos [05:21] * holstein is apt-getting it [05:24] hmmmm [05:24] not starting for me yet [05:25] i'll play with it a bit [08:49] hi I'm having resolution issues using the newest version of Ubuntu Studio [08:49] everytime I log in it resets to an auto mode which is way too big of a resolution, where I can't see the top left corner where my menu button is located [08:50] can anyone help me? [08:59] anyone on? [15:52] i just freshly installed ubuntu 10.04, and then in synaptic package manager, searched "ubuntu studio" and clicked all the options (except for u-splash. that didnt want to be clicked) then do i still need to do the repositories and what not? [15:53] zus: that should do it [15:55] so i dont need to run the repositories then? [15:56] hmmmm [15:56] zus: im not sure what you mean by that [15:56] you dont need to add any additional repositories [15:56] you'll have to install the packages from the ubuntu repositories [15:56] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageList [15:57] heres a packages list [15:57] usplash is in the meta-package ubuntustudio-desktop [15:58] the dvd just wasnt working right for me, i got the networkmanager but i never was abled to get the icon in the panel not get on line.... [15:58] ubuntustudio-desktop is the package that changes the look and feel [15:58] zus: too bad [15:59] hopefully this works better for you :) [15:59] agree... i kinda wanted to try on it's own,..if that made anysense... i think it's exactly what i needed now that im looking through it [16:00] * holstein gotta run out the door [16:00] * zus thanks holstein [16:00] good luck zus [16:01] holstein, thanks' [16:03] Hey, ever since I updated to lucid I'm having trouble mooting [16:03] I mean booting [16:04] I get a screen in low resolution with half of it missing. All I can see are "keys: press s to skip mounting or m to manually something" [16:04] Then I have to press Ctrl-Alt F1 to go into a console, and type sudo shutdown -r now to restart. Then it works [16:05] This happens every time. First I get the error. Then I reboot, problem gone [16:06] i dont know i am on a fresh install only rebooted once since,... but that went rather normal for me [16:06] then i i just installed the packages from synaptic...since the dvd wasnt working as i had hoped. [16:07] Do you know much about fstab? [16:08] no i do not [16:09] but you are the 2nd person in 24 hours to mention fstab.... [20:13] Kentrel: what graphics card/driver are you using? [20:13] the nvidia proprietary one, latest version [20:14] wonder if your getting into some kind of recorvery console or something [20:14] Kentrel: did you mess with /etc/fstab ? [20:14] I did mess with it prior to upgrading to Lucid, but only to get everything working the way I wanted [20:15] Kentrel: have you tried commenting out your changes? [20:15] Everything still works the way I wanted, just now I have that problem every second time I reboot [20:15] and booting? [20:15] no, I didn't think so, since they all worked before. [20:15] I mean, I didn't think to do it [20:16] Nothing mounts the first time [20:16] One the second reboot everything mounts [20:16] i think that would be worth troubleshooting [20:16] Yeah [20:16] also [20:16] You're right. I didn't think about it, since the problem only happened after I upgraded to lucid [20:16] getting the exact text from the error [20:16] and trying google [20:17] and maybe ubuntu-beginners ?? [20:17] maybe [20:17] thanks [20:17] or your ubuntu loco channel [20:17] Any idea how I could switch off the GUI booting screen, so I can see all the boot messages? [20:17] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList [20:18] hmmm [20:21] Kentrel: take a look at gedit /var/log/boot.log [20:22] and let me find a beter answer [20:22] better* [20:22] hi, is there any way to UbuntuStudio in live cd [20:22] sorry [20:24] Kentrel: im reading pressing escape makes the boot verbose [20:25] * holstein trying it [20:25] okay, good call thanks [20:27] yeah [20:28] i still got GDM [20:28] i wouls start with that fstab [20:28] and see if that makes the boot happen normally [20:28] and then go from there [20:31] hmmm [20:31] plymouth-log-viewer [20:31] that seems to show me the same as /var/log/boot.log [20:32] not exactly all the text im looking for [20:43] rexbron: i just read a thread on ubuntu forums and u mentioned troy and you are working on video editing stuff on ubuntu. [20:44] (it was 3 years ago..) [20:44] any good tool for video editing for ubuntu? [20:44] hello oren [20:44] what have you tried? [20:44] * holstein is an audio guy [20:44] kdenlive [20:45] i suggested avidmeux to a windows user [20:45] im trying to convert him to linux ;) [20:45] i know final cut is the best. is there something professional for linux? [20:46] someone told me to use avidmeux for cutting my videos, and kdenlive for the rest [20:46] have you fired up pitivi yet? [20:46] yes, i couldn't find a way to add text. [20:47] is it done with different app? [20:47] i just launched it [20:47] i do audio [20:47] and very little graphics [20:47] theres some folk here doing video though [20:47] i used audacity for recording my audio and than kdenlive to add audio+video [20:48] if you can hang out, or check in from time to time [20:49] holstein: will do that. [20:51] theres a #pitivi channel too [20:52] * holstein taking a nap :) [22:19] i read on ubuntu forum that the 2 most professional are blender and kdenlive. anyone here used any of those? [22:43] I use blender [22:43] Its incredible [22:43] But probably not suitable if you just ant to do video editing [22:56] Kentrel, editing videos using blender -> http://screencasters.heathenx.org/blendertuts/ [22:56] Kentrel: i guess i'll stick to kdenlive? [22:57] if editing videos is what you want to do mainly then stick to an app thats purpose built to do just that. [22:57] ok
