[05:13] whats up [05:14] trying to get studio working right, driving me nuts [05:15] hi kbn [05:21] Hey guys [05:22] sup [05:22] I noticed that in the ubuntu studio logo I had, there was a whole pile of unused defs (3600 of them) causing 800KB of bloat of svgs made with it. I want to check and make sure it's not an upstream problem too. [08:18] how can i tell if i have puredata extended version, and if i don't how do i install it? [12:40] how do i verify ubuntustudio is properly installed? [12:46] ubuverify: why do you think it could be not properly installed? [12:47] i don't have an "RT" listed in grub...windows black out... [12:48] Have you installed ubuntustudio trough the metapackages, from normal ubuntu? [12:48] from normal 10.4 using console commands listed on the site.. [12:48] OK [12:49] please open a terminal [12:49] k [12:50] ls /boot | grep linuz [12:50] Is there the rt? [12:50] 2.6.31.10-rt, I think [12:51] vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic vmlinuz-2.6.32-23-generic [12:51] how the heck did i get that ^^ [12:51] You have two linux versions installed [12:51] both are generic ones [12:51] ew.. [12:52] that would cause some issues, excessive cpu use... [12:52] Well, linux-rt is not compulsory to work with audio apps, but it could be convenient [12:53] how do i correct this without formatting and re-installing? [12:53] you don't have to do that [12:53] wait [12:53] i do want a real time kernal.. it was much faster and multi tasking was seamless [12:54] if you want to try ubuntu with the rt kernel, just install it with [12:54] sudo apt-get install linux-rt [12:54] you should see this as a grub option when at boot [12:55] why didnt it do that when i tried to install ubuntustudio over 10.4? [12:55] because, afaik, linux-rt is out of the ubuntustudio-audio metapackage [12:56] =/ it wasnt like that when i first tried ubuntustudio... [12:56] devs will know better the reason why they left it out [12:56] you are right [12:56] oh well..let me try this aptget [12:56] in lucid is out. In karmic was in, IIRC [12:57] but that apt-get is ALL you need [12:57] and probably, once installed, just in case do a [12:57] sudo update-grub [12:58] kk [12:59] yup that did it, i should be able to boot the rt module now [13:00] lol i think it may be trying to make 8.04 an rt as well?? [13:01] i'ma reboot and see what happend xD === Traveler0 is now known as ubuverify [13:09] ty [13:09] hi [13:10] xD [13:10] :D [13:10] yes much better [13:10] now i'm trying to figure out why i am having connection issues.. [13:11] wired or wireless? [13:17] i reset my conection..just noticed the dns servers weren't updated... === Traveler6 is now known as ubuverify [13:17] cool [13:18] let me see if i still have issues [13:18] connection issues are not my strong point anyway. I can't be of much help here [13:19] aw.. [13:19] =/ well upload is still hanging... [13:21] i've been trying to update a pc from 8.04 to 10.4 it seems to be frozen...and is connected to the internet thruough this pc...could that cause issues? [13:22] and ty pablo for your help.. i've been googling the crap out of that rt kernal fix.. [13:23] you are welcome! [20:49] hi [20:49] im going to try out ubuntu studio [20:49] :) [20:50] ive been using arch linux for quite some time, but i cannot run VST's in it [20:50] is it possible to run VST's with ubuntu studio ? [21:06] hugo, you can compile ardour to use vst's but i've heard it is crashy [21:07] there are other applications that can compile as hosts to vst (faust or something like that) which require wine as well [21:07] i'm not an expert with vst's though [21:07] hmm [21:07] i mostly use renoise [21:07] but renoise requires the steinberg sdk [21:07] which i cannot install in arch linux :/ [21:08] hugo: check out http://www.linuxdsp.co.uk/ [21:08] you might try #opensourcemusicians and ask there, metric tronnes of knowledgeable and experienced people there [21:08] the JACK versions are free [21:08] allright :) [21:08] speaking of OSM, here is holstein :) [21:08] cheers mate [21:08] personally i dont miss any of my old favorite VST's [21:08] but i dont need instruments [21:08] just effects [21:08] ScottL: :) [21:08] hmm [21:09] yes, i could also do that [21:09] record everything i need [21:09] http://wootangent.net/category/music/tutorials/ [21:09] if your into MIDI more [21:09] these are some nice tutorials done by [lsd] over at #opensourcemuscians [21:10] hugo, just so you know, holstein is one of the guys i thought could help you on #opensourcemusicians [21:10] :D [21:11] ace, that one [21:11] * holstein stands on the shoulders of giants [21:11] hugo, i've also heard about running reaper under wine to use VST's [21:11] hmm [21:11] reaper i dont know [21:12] ok, so ill stand on the shoulders of holstein and refrain myself from installing windows [21:12] from what i read, it really depends on the VST's [21:12] and what they need [21:12] i know it sucks learning new softwareb [21:12] but i would suggest looking for FOSS replacements [21:13] hmm [21:13] what do you recomend to record ? [21:13] audio? [21:13] i have a bad microphone and a beringer table [21:13] software [21:13] im using audacity [21:14] yeah, audio or MIDI sequencing? [21:14] audio [21:14] audio [21:14] sorry [21:14] ardour is the deal [21:14] ah, allright [21:14] i call audacity a 'gateway drug' though [21:14] :D [21:14] gateway drug ? [21:14] if its working for you [21:14] use it [21:14] when you need more [21:14] then you can move on to ardour [21:15] hugo: have you checked out JACK? [21:15] yes, but i dont understand it much [21:15] http://jackaudio.org/ [21:15] OK [21:15] hugo: thats where i would suggest starting [21:15] getting JACK up and running [21:16] allright [21:16] traverso is also in the repositories [21:16] i think of traverso as a bridge between audacity and ardour (alhtough closer to audacity) [21:16] maybe i dont have to switch to ubuntustudio and keep arch installed if i manage to install it right [21:16] ScottL: true [21:16] more features, but not overkill on a newb [21:17] ardour is quite amazing [21:17] but has a learning curve for sure [21:17] * holstein checked out the renoise demo [21:17] that looks nice too [21:18] allright :) [21:18] you should be able to get JACK running with whatever distro [21:18] then things will get easier [21:20] no me entra tu archivo [21:20] * holstein is running out he door now [21:20] Oops! sorry [21:20] hugo: i'll help you get JACK running sometime though [21:20] :) [21:20] im reading some docs on the web [21:21] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pro_Audio [21:21] these [21:22] yeah [21:22] you can try just starting JACK [21:22] if your in ubuntu [21:22] hugo: are you still in arch? [21:22] yes [21:22] im about to download ubuntustudio [21:22] sure [21:22] either way, you need to install jackd [21:22] and its dependancies [21:23] its easier in ubuntu or ubuntustudio [21:23] i find [21:23] but stuzz could help you in arch [21:24] great :) [21:24] glancing over that guide [21:24] it should do the trick [21:25] anyways [21:25] * holstein BBL [21:25] :) thanks === hugo is now known as HugoDaniel
