[00:12] ScottL: i got network manager and managed to connect to the network, but it keeps disconnected and reconnecting me about every 10 seconds [00:13] Dustin_, hmmm, that i'm not so sure about, you might ask around on #ubuntu [00:14] Dustin_, i use a wired connection and plug into a router so it handles DHCP and i don't need to configure gnome-network-admin so it already works for me [00:15] therefore i don't know much about network-manager except how to get a ubuntu studio installation to install it [00:15] you can also try the application wicd if you can manage a network connection at all [05:20] i forgot to click to include the ubuntu studio software when i installed. is there anyway to install it all at once now? [05:22] hey rebirth [05:22] there are a few meta packages [05:22] if you go to synaptic [05:22] and search ubuntustudio [05:22] you should see them, and be able to read about them [05:23] OR [05:24] you can do sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics [05:25] !vanilla [05:25] To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation [05:25] the packages are listed there [05:25] thanks [05:25] :) [05:26] ubottu: this is ubuntu studio, just not with any of the software, that is different than vanilla ubuntu no? [05:26] ubottu is a bot [05:26] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots for all information. [05:26] i see [05:26] rebirth: the packages are all the same [05:26] same repos [05:29] i did it that way [05:29] last time i installed [05:30] i was installing maverick to test [05:30] and the installer was failing [05:30] SO i waited and installed the meta-packages later [05:52] i think i will just install them one by one and get to know them that way [05:53] sure [05:53] you doing audio? [05:53] mostly? [05:53] yeah [05:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation [05:53] theres a must-haves section there [05:54] JACK is the trick [05:54] have you used JACK yet? [05:55] is Ardour better than Audacity? [05:55] no [05:55] hmmm [05:55] i think it is [05:55] but they are really just different [05:56] oh yeah.. Ardour is more of a sequencer i guess [05:56] i'm going to install that one [05:56] you might be interested in http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/ [05:56] theres an IRC channel too [05:56] #opensourcemusicians [05:56] ardour doesnt do MIDI yet [05:57] it will very soon :) [05:57] ardour is more of a multitrack DAW [05:57] and ardour is more for editing a single audio file [05:57] you can use both for either though [05:58] you mean audacity is more for editing a single audio file? [05:58] i call audacity a gateway drug :) [05:58] rebirth: YEHA [05:58] yeah* [05:58] woops [05:58] and audacity is more for editing a single audio file** [05:58] i'm just going to be recording some accoustic guitar and vocals, but i may want to add software instrument tracks alter [05:58] ^^ [05:58] later* [05:59] i say, go with what works at first [05:59] audacity is easy [05:59] but JACK + ardour [05:59] i need to learn about JACK [05:59] is quite full featured [05:59] jack is great [06:00] you got it installed? [06:00] no [06:00] *doing now* [06:00] apt-get it if you want [06:00] and i'll try and help you get it running [06:01] sudo apt-get jack? [06:01] (i'm pretty new to linux in general) [06:02] no worries [06:02] * holstein looking [06:02] i think you need jackd [06:02] try [06:02] sudo apt-get install jackd [06:02] YEAH [06:02] thats it [06:04] done [06:04] cool [06:04] SO [06:04] in the audio section [06:04] you should see jack control? [06:04] or qjackctl [06:05] launched it [06:05] cool [06:05] look at [06:05] http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/qjackctl-ss1.html [06:05] so we can talk about the screenshots [06:05] and i know we are looking at the same thing :) [06:05] you should see the very first picture [06:06] thats what should launch [06:06] thats qjackctl [06:06] "jack control" [06:06] this is kind of a GUI front-end to run JACK [06:06] yeah [06:06] SO [06:07] click on 'set-up' [06:07] ok [06:07] that should get you to the 2nd picture [06:07] on that link [06:07] rebirth: is this your internal soundcard? [06:07] no i'm using an maudio ozone [06:07] do you have an external interface? [06:07] AH [06:08] USB right? [06:08] yup [06:08] open a terminal [06:08] and run lsusb [06:09] and see if you see it there [06:09] i see it [06:09] it's been working for playing music in amarok so far [06:09] AH [06:09] good :) [06:10] that means it should work with JACK then [06:10] SO [06:10] in that setup window [06:10] you see the driver section [06:10] that should already be set to alsa [06:10] the entry for 'interface' [06:11] ahh yes [06:11] to the right of hw:0 or whatever [06:11] theres a little dropdown menu [06:11] you should look there [06:11] and see if you seed the ozone [06:11] if you dont [06:11] we might have to get some more advanced techs in here ;) [06:11] wait, the drop down menu next to interface or the > next to it? [06:12] the ">" [06:12] but look in both [06:12] im not sure [06:12] i have a firewire interface [06:12] and its different [06:12] fyi, in amarak the audio settings are set to "pulse audio" [06:12] that seemed to make it work [06:13] still should work with JACK [06:13] AFAIK [06:13] i have the options: "hw: 0" "plughw: 0" "/dev/audio" and "dev/dsp" [06:14] hmmm [06:14] well, you could just try them all [06:14] and see if one is the ozone [06:14] but i think it would say [06:14] it's set to default now [06:14] i have an maudio transit [06:15] and it says in the '>' menu [06:15] maudio something obvious [06:16] oh, in the > menu it says ozone! [06:17] as "hw:1" [06:17] AH [06:17] that should be it then [06:17] * holstein is google-ing [06:17] it looks like the ozone should work fine [06:17] SO [06:18] now you got the driver and device chosen [06:18] there are a couple other settings there [06:18] alsa is the driver right? [06:18] yeah [06:18] thats the one you should try first [06:18] do you have the real time kernel? [06:19] ermm [06:19] run uname -a [06:19] in the terminal [06:19] it'll say -RT or -generic somewhere [06:19] rt [06:19] cool [06:20] theres a realtime checkbox [06:20] you can check that [06:20] what does that mean exactly? [06:20] if its unchecked [06:20] realtime? [06:20] yeah [06:20] just priority [06:20] can help you get lower latency [06:20] SAY [06:20] you got you guitar plugged in [06:21] and you want effects [06:21] realtime is checked already [06:21] will mic work? [06:21] there could be a couple miliseconds [06:21] between when you hit the string [06:21] oh i see [06:21] and when you hear the effected sound [06:21] the RT stuff can help [06:21] cool [06:21] yeah [06:21] OK [06:22] you see frames/period [06:22] and periods/buffer [06:22] it says my latency is 46.4 msecs btw [06:22] those are the settings that we tweak [06:22] usually [06:22] yeah i see em [06:22] if you change those [06:23] you'll see the latency change [06:23] you dont need to go crazy with the settings [06:23] i would leave it at 46 for now [06:23] and just know that you can tweak if you need lower latency [06:23] which? [06:23] 46.4 ms [06:23] just what you got [06:23] oh gotcha [06:23] whatever the settings are [06:24] SO, hit OK [06:24] and then close that or whatever [06:24] and go back to the main qjack panel [06:24] and hit start [06:24] ok [06:24] and see if it runs :) [06:24] uh oh error [06:25] yeah [06:25] hehe [06:25] could not connect to JACK server as client [06:25] SO [06:25] close qjack [06:25] open a terminal and run [06:25] sudo qjackctl [06:25] and try starting it again [06:26] no error this time [06:26] OK [06:26] so hit the stop button [06:26] and close that [06:27] and lets check some permissions [06:27] run sudo adduser rebirth audio [06:27] OR [06:27] whatever your username is ^^^ [06:27] uh, i was playing music in amarok and after i quit jack it started playing agian but it was all distored lol [06:27] the user your logged in as [06:27] lol [06:28] yeah, pulse-to-JACK [06:28] thats a whole different thing [06:28] it can be done though [06:28] i just havnet really needed it [06:29] so i'll need to reconfigure amarok to use jack also? [06:29] not sure [06:29] for now [06:29] ok let me do the last step [06:29] think of JACK as a patchbay [06:30] and something that you dont really use casually [06:31] it says i'm already a member of audio [06:31] dammit [06:31] hmmm [06:31] its a permissions issue [06:31] because it runs sudo [06:36] rebirth: did you add yourself to that group after install? [06:36] never ran that command before [06:36] i thought ubuntu just came that way [06:36] hmmm [06:37] if i want to be a member of that group than what's the problem? [06:37] if you already are, then its something else [06:38] rebirth: do me a favour [06:38] log out and back in [06:38] reboot? [06:38] you can if you want [06:38] but just logging out will do [06:38] just in case [06:38] ok brb [06:40] holstein: i am back [06:41] rebirth: try qjack again [06:41] as a normal user [06:41] and see if it starts [06:41] without error [06:41] sorry, how do i do that again? [06:41] lauch jack control [06:41] and hit the start button [06:42] no didn't start [06:42] hmmm [06:44] can i leave the group and rejoin it? [06:44] sure [06:44] but you dont need to [06:44] i was wondering if that would fix it [06:46] OK [06:47] you'll have to log out again BUT [06:47] add yourself to the disk group [06:47] sudo adduser *you* disk [06:47] maybe that is needed to access USB devices [06:48] do that now? [06:48] yeah [06:48] sudo adduser disk [06:49] its not going to hurt anything either way [06:49] my USB device just worked [06:49] but i had already added myself to the disk group [06:49] done. [06:49] try it again [06:49] ok [06:49] and then you can logout [06:49] if it fails [06:50] and back in [06:50] failed [06:50] ok brb againm [06:53] holstein: still failed :-( [06:54] dammit [06:54] well [06:54] run sudo qjackctl [06:54] and let me show you something [06:54] and you can go to #jack [06:54] or try here again [06:54] sometime tomorrow maybe [06:54] when smarter folk are around [06:54] im sure its something easy [06:55] huh it failed as sudo [06:55] OH [06:55] but it ran earlier right? [06:55] yeah [06:57] rebirth: im fading :/ [06:57] i dont want to leave you hanging [06:57] but its late [06:57] no it's alright [06:57] you gonna be around tomorrow nite? [06:57] thanks for you help i'll try to jack channel [06:57] im around about this time usually [06:58] yeah [06:58] and the guys in #opensourcemusicians really helped me a lot [06:58] i've got enough to play with now anyway [06:58] good luck [06:58] thanks man [06:58] * holstein to bed :) [06:58] laterx [06:59] nite [07:00] i looked in the msg log and it said something about realtime [07:00] so i disabled realtime and it worked [07:00] if you are still there [07:00] holstein [15:29] i wanna put studio on 10.10 [16:48] howdy everyone. Anyone have experience with Devede? I am having trouble when I turn video's to dvd iso [17:02] fbxxkl: im not familiar [17:02] but what is the trouble? [17:11] well when I turn my avi/mkv files into ISO's about halfway through the movies video and audio becomes a bit out of sync [17:13] holstein: ^^ [17:13] i had that issue [17:14] in windows [17:14] and i havnet gotten around to doing any video in linux yet [17:14] well, anything to speak of [17:15] i read several interesting posts about it [17:15] back then [17:15] you could try and make sure you have similar settings for your audio and video encoders [17:16] ah [17:16] I will play aroudn with ti [17:16] thanks [17:16] this is where i landed [17:16] in windows [17:16] http://www.virtualdub.org/ [17:16] seemed to help [17:16] theres all kinds of info there [17:17] good luck [17:17] its a drag
