[04:20] <ScottL> holstein, you made the front page on planet ubuntu for your work on the weekly newsletter
[04:24] <tucemiux> did he??
[04:25] <ScottL> well, it's actually the blog aggregate (planet ubuntu) for the fridge  http://planet.ubuntu.com/
[04:32] <tucemiux> he made it on the newsletter
[06:07] <holstein> ScottL: :)
[06:07] <holstein> amber graner is in my loco
[06:07] <holstein> she's the team lead for now
[06:08] <holstein> but she's getting busy with all kinds of other projects
[06:14] <holstein> ScottL: id like to sneak some ubuntustudio news on there
[06:18] <holstein> i just noticed your blog is linked there at http://planet.ubuntu.com/
[06:19] <holstein> thats great
[13:49] <stevehedge> n o one home?
[18:44] <flexo3105> hi, 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.
[18:45] <flexo3105> now 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%
[18:46] <flexo3105> on 10.04 2.6.33-23-realtime , fairly fresh install
[18:47] <holstein> did you try setting it back to 'auto-detect' ?
[18:47] <flexo3105> yes i just did
[18:47] <holstein> no good?
[18:47]  * holstein wonders if you need to log out and back in for that?
[18:48] <holstein> might have to find a pulse expert
[18:48] <flexo3105> i'll check
[18:48] <holstein> SO
[18:48] <holstein> you have a firewire device?
[18:49] <flexo3105> other thing is, ffado-mixer is not working
[18:50] <flexo3105> yeah, its working sort of, some xruns in jack but i guess thats something fixable , i'm pretty new to ubuntu-studio
[18:50] <holstein> OK, so its back to 'normal'?
[18:50] <holstein> it seems?
[18:50] <holstein> what is your goal?
[18:52] <holstein> my firewire device doesnt use the ffado-mixer
[18:53] <flexo3105> getting it to work without the firewire device attached and use it to listen to music and stuff , plugin the firewire and start some recording
[18:53] <holstein> and your using JACK ?
[18:53] <holstein> with my set up
[18:53] <flexo3105> right now without the device no
[18:54] <holstein> i use my internal card for casual computing
[18:54] <holstein> listening to CD's.. etc
[18:54] <flexo3105> same here
[18:54] <holstein> and i start JACK to use the firewire device
[18:54] <flexo3105> jup
[18:54] <holstein> OK
[18:54] <flexo3105> which in my case is a saffire le
[18:54] <holstein> so you have that pulse issue with your internal card too?
[18:55] <holstein> from amarok
[18:55] <flexo3105> i guess its more of a problem with the internal card
[18:55] <holstein> ok
[18:56] <holstein> there is a way to route pulse to JACK
[18:57] <holstein> https://launchpad.net/~falk-t-j/+archive/lucid
[18:57] <holstein> using this repo
[18:57] <holstein> i would suggest doing some research though
[18:57] <holstein> falk is the maintainer of that PPA and kxstudio
[18:58] <flexo3105> yeah, already got that repo
[18:58] <holstein> OH
[18:58] <holstein> did you update all the packages?
[18:58] <holstein> you might want to try and find him
[18:58] <holstein> hes falktx
[18:58] <holstein> in #kxstudio
[18:59] <holstein> he was just in there
[18:59] <flexo3105> oh ok
[18:59] <holstein> is it just amarok?
[19:00] <holstein> are you using KDE?
[19:00] <flexo3105> it happened with firefox/youtube before
[19:00] <holstein> hmmm
[19:01] <holstein> i have a netbook with VIA chips
[19:01] <flexo3105> i thought it might have to do with the nvidia drivers
[19:01] <holstein> and the sound dies on it often
[19:01] <holstein> AH
[19:01] <flexo3105> i have hda intel
[19:01] <holstein> that could be true
[19:01] <flexo3105> btw, using gnome
[19:01] <holstein> i guess you could run in safe graphics mode
[19:01] <holstein> maybe boot a generic kernel too
[19:02] <holstein> and test audio playback
[19:02] <holstein> you could isolate the kernel and graphics card
[19:02] <holstein> for trouble-shooting purposes
[19:04] <holstein> the nvidia driver seems plausible
[19:04] <flexo3105> ok i'll take a look into that
[19:06] <flexo3105> it's not happening with the generic kernel i think... but since it sometimes works for some hours its pretty hard to isolate
[19:11] <holstein> yeah
[19:12] <holstein> you'll have to let it play something quietly overnite or something
[19:13] <flexo3105> i wont :) its way to hot around here atm, when it crashes , cpu gets 100% and the temps keep rising
[19:13] <holstein> drag
[19:15] <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)
[19:16] <holstein> hmmm
[19:16] <holstein> intel should be well supported
[19:16] <holstein> RT or generic
[19:16] <flexo3105> had to recompile it and all that stuff , with later kernel versions this was fixed
[19:16] <holstein> you might just have some 'fringe' hardware
[19:16] <flexo3105> yeah
[19:17] <holstein> this netbook with the VIA chips is a pain in the ass
[19:17] <holstein> if i sleep the netbook
[19:18] <holstein> the sound never comes back
[19:18] <flexo3105> firewire @ my toshiba is texas instr. iirc , dualcore , nvidia go7900
[19:18] <flexo3105> i dont use sleep
[19:19] <holstein> i have an asus EEE too
[19:19] <holstein> i got spoiled
[19:19] <holstein> everything works great out of the box
[19:20] <holstein> i sleep that one all the time
[19:20] <flexo3105> next time i'm going to buy a new one i'll take a live cd with me
[19:20] <holstein> w00t
[19:20] <holstein> the VIA box came with linux on it
[19:20] <flexo3105> lol
[19:21] <holstein> it was one of the SLED hp mini's
[19:21] <flexo3105> i see
[19:21] <holstein> and i didnt really know about VIA
[19:21] <holstein> i mean, compatibility wise
[19:21] <holstein> i just assumed since it came with linux
[19:21] <holstein> i would be fine
[19:21] <flexo3105> might work for the casual user
[19:21] <holstein> whatever... live and learn
[19:21] <holstein> nah
[19:21] <holstein> its a drag
[19:21] <flexo3105> hehe
[19:22] <holstein> you gotta be a techie type to recover things as they crash
[19:22] <holstein> and SLED was not easy to use either
[19:22]  * holstein was an early adopter
[19:22] <flexo3105> :)
[19:22] <holstein> its got an express card slot though
[19:23] <holstein> hardly any netbooks have those anymore
[19:23] <holstein> SO i can use it as a portalbe rig with my firewire device
[19:23] <holstein> thats enough usefulness to me really
[19:23] <flexo3105> i'm not that much into netbooks... would be interesting for serato tho
[19:24] <holstein> cool
[19:24] <flexo3105> with osx :(
[19:24]  * holstein just checked out http://serato.com/
[19:25] <flexo3105> only caveat would be the screen size imo
[19:26] <holstein> i would not have gotten netbooks if we had had functional laptops
[19:26] <holstein> my dell died
[19:26] <holstein> and my girlfriend had a dying compaq
[19:27] <holstein> SO i got us a couple
[19:30] <flexo3105> :)
[19:30] <flexo3105> i'd buy one, but only for the us price
[19:31] <holstein> seems to be some resonable prices in the UK too
[19:31] <flexo3105> yeah
[19:38] <flexo3105> i'm off for some movie
[19:38] <holstein> laterx :)
[19:38] <flexo3105> laters
[23:05] <zus> how much GTK does the ubuntustudio package have? i dont want the "Gnome" look. I am REALLY thinking on going back to kubuntu and using the packages. -
[23:33] <holstein> zus: did you check out kxstudio?
[23:34] <holstein> if your a KDE guy, its nice
[23:34] <zus> holstein,  hey stranger.
[23:34] <holstein> :)
[23:34] <holstein> yeah..
[23:34]  * holstein 's been busy for a few days
[23:35] <holstein> zus: eitherway
[23:36] <holstein> the software should run fine under KDE
[23:36] <holstein> you'll probably have to take some gnome libs
[23:39] <zus>  no i have not....im just not getting on with cssm and a few things gnome...maybe gnome shell 3 gets going ill check in on that but
[23:39] <zus> trying to help with dinna as well
[23:39] <zus> here
[23:39] <holstein> right on
[23:39] <holstein> i just got back from dinner :)
[23:40] <zus>  holstein  well, i dont mind im not tottally  millitant of opensource or not and kde  vs gnome... but man i had more fun in kde i guess
[23:40] <holstein> im just used to gnome
[23:41] <holstein> KDE is slick
[23:41] <holstein> and my hardware is on the older side
[23:42] <zus> im getting outdated as well but it handles it pretty nice.
[23:42] <zus> i REALLY like some gnome stuff like this me menu stuff.
[23:42] <zus> but dammed it i wanna play games wine is borked to there and back.....a lot of little things make me mad.
[23:50] <zus> holstein,  well i've got to round a few things up we're to film again tonight...soon you'll help me get jack working yeah?
[23:50] <holstein> sure
[23:51] <holstein> maybe later tonite then?
[23:57] <zus> holstein,  yeah ill ping ya when im back
[23:57] <holstein> :)
[23:58] <zus> meh, dinner just got done and now i got a text saying were to be there at 7:30.... its 7:00 now.
