| fbxxkl_ | Hi everyone. Trying to set up my wireless card but its a bit confusing | 13:35 |
|---|---|---|
| fbxxkl_ | anyone have experience with this? | 13:35 |
| jussi | fbxxkl_: tell us more about what you have done, which wireless card etc and we can see if we can help you. | 13:37 |
| fbxxkl_ | Ok. I installed Ubuntu-Studio 10.4 | 13:37 |
| fbxxkl_ | I have a ralink wireless card. and when I checked in terminal to see if it was installed it showed up with drivers | 13:38 |
| fbxxkl_ | So i go to System -> Administration -> network and I see wlan0 | 13:38 |
| fbxxkl_ | network tools* | 13:38 |
| fbxxkl_ | But I have no options to connect to my wireless network right now | 13:38 |
| fbxxkl_ | and I put the icon in my panel for usage like that and it doesn't show the wireless card it only shows lo and eth0 | 13:39 |
| fbxxkl_ | "Network controller" "RaLink" "RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI" "RaLink" "Device 2561" | 13:41 |
| jussi | ok, are you familiar with the terminal at all? | 13:42 |
| jussi | is it listed when you do: ifconfig | 13:43 |
| jussi | ? | 13:43 |
| jussi | and do you have wired networking where you are at the moment | 13:43 |
| jussi | fbxxkl_: ^^ | 13:43 |
| fbxxkl_ | Ill check | 13:44 |
| fbxxkl_ | yess | 13:44 |
| fbxxkl_ | I am connected via wired | 13:44 |
| fbxxkl_ | at the moment but its a big yellow cord going through my living room which is why I am trying to switch to my wireless card. | 13:44 |
| fbxxkl_ | And to clarify I have used my wireless card with regular ubuntu 9.10/10.4 before | 13:45 |
| fbxxkl_ | So I know it "Should" work | 13:45 |
| fbxxkl_ | ok I did if config | 13:45 |
| fbxxkl_ | ifconfig* and it does not show up there | 13:45 |
| fbxxkl_ | I get my loopback and my standard ethernet | 13:46 |
| fbxxkl_ | ok i did ifconfig -a and it shows up | 13:47 |
| fbxxkl_ | jussi: ^^ | 13:47 |
| jussi | ok | 13:48 |
| jussi | do you have networkmanager-gnome installed? | 13:48 |
| jussi | !infor networkmanager-gnome | 13:48 |
| jussi | !info networkmanager-gnome | 13:48 |
| ubottu | Package networkmanager-gnome does not exist in lucid | 13:48 |
| jussi | !info network-manager-gnome | 13:49 |
| ubottu | network-manager-gnome (source: network-manager-applet): network management framework (GNOME frontend). In component main, is optional. Version 0.8-0ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 461 kB, installed size 4832 kB | 13:49 |
| fbxxkl_ | hmm | 13:49 |
| fbxxkl_ | good question | 13:49 |
| fbxxkl_ | I don't think i do. Isn't that something that should come standard?? | 13:49 |
| fbxxkl_ | Ok I am installing it. I assume that should resolve any gui issues I have connected my wireless device | 13:50 |
| jussi | no, its not installed in ubuntustudio by default as it can affect latency (so best to turn it off if you are doing stuff with jack) | 13:50 |
| jussi | hopefully... | 13:50 |
| jussi | you may need to start it with alt+f2 -> nm-applet | 13:51 |
| fbxxkl_ | what is jack? I am new to ubuntu-studio mostly used mac's/and windows pc's in the past | 13:51 |
| jussi | !info jack | 13:51 |
| ubottu | jack (source: jack): Rip and encode CDs with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.1+cvs20050801-26 (lucid), package size 148 kB, installed size 668 kB | 13:51 |
| jussi | no... | 13:51 |
| jussi | !find jack | 13:51 |
| ubottu | Found: libjack-dev, libjack0, pulseaudio-module-jack, pulseaudio-module-jack-dbg, alsaplayer-jack (and 23 others) | 13:51 |
| jussi | hang on | 13:51 |
| fbxxkl_ | heh lot of jack's :P | 13:52 |
| jussi | !info jackd | 13:52 |

| jussi | :) | 13:52 |
| fbxxkl_ | interesting. | 13:52 |
| AutoStatic | It's a sound daemon | 13:53 |
| AutoStatic | Like PulseAudio | 13:54 |
| fbxxkl_ | Ah | 13:54 |
| fbxxkl_ | Yea the whole sound thing on Ubuntu really confuses me like alsa and oss | 13:54 |
| fbxxkl_ | well linux in general I haven't quite grasped that yet | 13:54 |
| jussi | sound in ubuntu is very confusing :P | 13:54 |
| AutoStatic | ALSA and OSS are driver stacks | 13:54 |
| jussi | anyway, Im of fhome! | 13:54 |
| jussi | laters all | 13:55 |
| fbxxkl_ | thanks for all your help jussi | 13:55 |
| AutoStatic | PulseAudio and JACK sit on top of that | 13:55 |
| jussi | no probs | 13:55 |
| fbxxkl_ | so the sound daemon is what controls the driver stacks? | 13:55 |
| AutoStatic | When it comes to mixing yes | 13:56 |
| AutoStatic | But this is specifically the case for PulseAudio | 13:56 |
| fbxxkl_ | So what would an equivelent be in say Windows or OSX? | 13:56 |
| fbxxkl_ | if there is one | 13:57 |
| AutoStatic | Basically a sound daemons allows for multiple apps to play sound simultanuously | 13:57 |
| fbxxkl_ | Ah ok | 13:57 |
| AutoStatic | JACK=ASIO+Rewire | 13:57 |
| AutoStatic | PulseAudio is like the 'consumer' daemon | 13:57 |
| fbxxkl_ | could you say its the 'default' or 'generic' daemon? | 13:58 |
| AutoStatic | Yes, PulseAudio is the default in Ubuntu | 13:58 |
| fbxxkl_ | ah ok | 13:59 |
| AutoStatic | Because it's better suited for desktop use | 13:59 |
| fbxxkl_ | ps. this is why i love linux/ubuntu users because getting this out of some people for another OS would be like pulling teeth but everyone who works with linux/ubuntu is so helpful | 13:59 |
| AutoStatic | :) | 14:00 |
| fbxxkl_ | ok I installed some updates brb while i restart | 14:00 |
| fbxxkl | Well that stinks now I got an error with my video card when I restarted | 14:05 |
| unodelchat | Hola | 14:39 |
| rlameiro | ubottu: hola | 14:43 |
| rlameiro | unodelchat:hola | 14:44 |
| unodelchat | you speak spanish ? | 14:44 |
| rlameiro | yes | 14:44 |
| unodelchat | que lastima que mi targeta de sonido no funcione en linux | 14:45 |
| rlameiro | que tarjeta es? | 14:45 |
| unodelchat | creamware | 14:45 |
| rlameiro | huh? | 14:46 |
| rlameiro | never ear of that | 14:46 |
| unodelchat | sabes algo de Ndiswrapper ? | 14:47 |
| rlameiro | no | 14:47 |
| unodelchat | Ndiswrapper es solo para drivers de wifi ? | 14:47 |
| rlameiro | pero me parece que es mas para wifi | 14:47 |
| unodelchat | es posible que como no conocen el resto de marcas de targetas de sonido se piensen que lo unico que faltan drivers son los de wifi | 14:48 |
| unodelchat | Ndiswrapper can be a solution for those not compatible sound card ? | 14:51 |
| unodelchat | help | 14:51 |
| rlameiro | unodelchat: i dont think so, because it needs to integrate with alsa | 14:52 |
| rlameiro | is it external usb? | 14:52 |
| unodelchat | <rlameiro> which sound card you have ? | 14:53 |
| unodelchat | is PCI | 14:53 |
| rlameiro | well, then even worse | 14:53 |
| rlameiro | but you should try it | 14:53 |
| unodelchat | <rlameiro> which sound card you have ? | 14:54 |
| rlameiro | i have 3 actually | 14:55 |
| rlameiro | a ua-4fx, FA-101 and the onboard crappy and bad intel hda onboard | 14:55 |
| rlameiro | ua-4fx is a usb one, the fa-101 is firewire | 14:55 |
