holsteinthats great06:19
stevehedgen o one home?13:49
flexo3105hi, i disabled pulseaudio in gstreamer-properties because it cut out the sound of amarok 1.4 (and others) after some time, had to restart each app to get sound back -> pulseaudio[15709]: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.18:44
flexo3105now it segfaults ffado-mixer -> ffado-mixer[15868]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp bfc0ccdc error 4 in python2.6[8048000+1e0000]  , but this time it crashes amarok, cpu usage 100%18:45
flexo3105on 10.04 2.6.33-23-realtime , fairly fresh install18:46
holsteindid you try setting it back to 'auto-detect' ?18:47
flexo3105yes i just did18:47
holsteinno good?18:47
* holstein wonders if you need to log out and back in for that?18:47
holsteinmight have to find a pulse expert18:48
flexo3105i'll check18:48
holsteinSO18:48
holsteinyou have a firewire device?18:48
flexo3105other thing is, ffado-mixer is not working18:49
flexo3105yeah, its working sort of, some xruns in jack but i guess thats something fixable , i'm pretty new to ubuntu-studio18:50
holsteinOK, so its back to 'normal'?18:50
holsteinit seems?18:50
holsteinwhat is your goal?18:50
holsteinmy firewire device doesnt use the ffado-mixer18:52
flexo3105getting it to work without the firewire device attached and use it to listen to music and stuff , plugin the firewire and start some recording18:53
holsteinand your using JACK ?18:53
holsteinwith my set up18:53
flexo3105right now without the device no18:53
holsteini use my internal card for casual computing18:54
holsteinlistening to CD's.. etc18:54
flexo3105same here18:54
holsteinand i start JACK to use the firewire device18:54
flexo3105jup18:54
holsteinOK18:54
flexo3105which in my case is a saffire le18:54
holsteinso you have that pulse issue with your internal card too?18:54
holsteinfrom amarok18:55
flexo3105i guess its more of a problem with the internal card18:55
holsteinok18:55
holsteinthere is a way to route pulse to JACK18:56
holsteinhttps://launchpad.net/~falk-t-j/+archive/lucid18:57
holsteinusing this repo18:57
holsteini would suggest doing some research though18:57
holsteinfalk is the maintainer of that PPA and kxstudio18:57
flexo3105yeah, already got that repo18:58
holsteinOH18:58
holsteindid you update all the packages?18:58
holsteinyou might want to try and find him18:58
holsteinhes falktx18:58
holsteinin #kxstudio18:58
holsteinhe was just in there18:59
flexo3105oh ok18:59
holsteinis it just amarok?18:59
holsteinare you using KDE?19:00
flexo3105it happened with firefox/youtube before19:00
holsteinhmmm19:00
holsteini have a netbook with VIA chips19:01
flexo3105i thought it might have to do with the nvidia drivers19:01
holsteinand the sound dies on it often19:01
holsteinAH19:01
flexo3105i have hda intel19:01
holsteinthat could be true19:01
flexo3105btw, using gnome19:01
holsteini guess you could run in safe graphics mode19:01
holsteinmaybe boot a generic kernel too19:01
holsteinand test audio playback19:02
holsteinyou could isolate the kernel and graphics card19:02
holsteinfor trouble-shooting purposes19:02
holsteinthe nvidia driver seems plausible19:04
flexo3105ok i'll take a look into that19:04
flexo3105it's not happening with the generic kernel i think... but since it sometimes works for some hours its pretty hard to isolate19:06
holsteinyeah19:11
holsteinyou'll have to let it play something quietly overnite or something19:12
flexo3105i wont :) its way to hot around here atm, when it crashes , cpu gets 100% and the temps keep rising19:13
holsteindrag19:13
flexo3105+ i had some serious issues with a really buggy DSDT.aml file when i bought the laptop, no sound at all, no gfx fans working and so on (3 years ago)19:15
holsteinhmmm19:16
holsteinintel should be well supported19:16
holsteinRT or generic19:16
flexo3105had to recompile it and all that stuff , with later kernel versions this was fixed19:16
holsteinyou might just have some 'fringe' hardware19:16
flexo3105yeah19:16
holsteinthis netbook with the VIA chips is a pain in the ass19:17
holsteinif i sleep the netbook19:17
holsteinthe sound never comes back19:18
flexo3105firewire @ my toshiba is texas instr. iirc , dualcore , nvidia go790019:18
flexo3105i dont use sleep19:18
holsteini have an asus EEE too19:19
holsteini got spoiled19:19
holsteineverything works great out of the box19:19
holsteini sleep that one all the time19:20
flexo3105next time i'm going to buy a new one i'll take a live cd with me19:20
holsteinw00t19:20
holsteinthe VIA box came with linux on it19:20
flexo3105lol19:20
holsteinit was one of the SLED hp mini's19:21
flexo3105i see19:21
holsteinand i didnt really know about VIA19:21
holsteini mean, compatibility wise19:21
holsteini just assumed since it came with linux19:21
holsteini would be fine19:21
flexo3105might work for the casual user19:21
holsteinwhatever... live and learn19:21
holsteinnah19:21
holsteinits a drag19:21
flexo3105hehe19:21
holsteinyou gotta be a techie type to recover things as they crash19:22
holsteinand SLED was not easy to use either19:22
* holstein was an early adopter19:22
flexo3105:)19:22
holsteinits got an express card slot though19:22
holsteinhardly any netbooks have those anymore19:23
holsteinSO i can use it as a portalbe rig with my firewire device19:23
holsteinthats enough usefulness to me really19:23
flexo3105i'm not that much into netbooks... would be interesting for serato tho19:23
holsteincool19:24
flexo3105with osx :(19:24
* holstein just checked out http://serato.com/19:24
flexo3105only caveat would be the screen size imo19:25
holsteini would not have gotten netbooks if we had had functional laptops19:26
holsteinmy dell died19:26
holsteinand my girlfriend had a dying compaq19:26
holsteinSO i got us a couple19:27
flexo3105:)19:30
flexo3105i'd buy one, but only for the us price19:30
holsteinseems to be some resonable prices in the UK too19:31
flexo3105yeah19:31
flexo3105i'm off for some movie19:38
holsteinlaterx :)19:38
flexo3105laters19:38
