| zus | will ubuntu studios play well with ableton live formats? im able to download and remix a song, i can download the multi tracks but the files are RAW, GarageBand and Ableton Live. | 00:57 |
|---|---|---|
| zus | do i have to download blender each time there is a major release? or will it update on its own with ubuntustudios? | 03:27 |
| zus | i got 2.49B should i get 2.5alpha yet? | 03:27 |
| holstein | hmmm | 03:28 |
| holstein | good question | 03:28 |
| holstein | zus: how 'into' blender are you? | 03:28 |
| holstein | if your the casual blender user | 03:28 |
| holstein | the updates from the repos will probably be cool | 03:29 |
| holstein | im sure theres a PPA you can add that will give you more current builds | 03:29 |
| zus | casual for now still learning it | 03:29 |
| holstein | the versions usually get locked down | 03:29 |
| holstein | the latest stable or whatever | 03:29 |
| holstein | and thats what you get | 03:29 |
| holstein | unless something gets backported | 03:30 |
| holstein | i dought blender will get backported | 03:30 |
| zus | but then when the os updates it isnt going to upddate blender though i'd have to go out and update it as an individual item? | 03:30 |
| holstein | you'll get updates | 03:31 |
| holstein | just probably not a new version of blender | 03:31 |
| holstein | depends really | 03:31 |
| zus | got ya. | 03:31 |
| holstein | ardrou for example | 03:31 |
| holstein | i forget the version that is in ubuntu | 03:31 |
| holstein | but, thats the version lucid gets | 03:31 |
| holstein | unless you add a PPA | 03:31 |
| holstein | or move up to maverick | 03:32 |
| holstein | or build, or get a deb or whatever | 03:32 |
| zus | i just went through a tutorial and it was a bit older thought i'd ask | 03:32 |
| holstein | i think especially for the LTS releases | 03:32 |
| zus | about the updates. | 03:32 |
| holstein | they (ubuntu) want the most stable versions | 03:32 |
| holstein | and just keep it that way | 03:32 |
| holstein | hardy had an old version of firefox | 03:33 |
| holstein | but i think it was intrepid? that shipped with a beta version of firefox | 03:33 |
| holstein | so it would have that most current version | 03:33 |
| zus | so if i have blender 2.49b and version 2.49 is stable i should move up but not to 2.5 | 03:34 |
| holstein | zus: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bleedingedge/+archive/ppa | 03:34 |
| holstein | se | 03:34 |
| holstein | e | 03:34 |
| holstein | this is 'bleeding edge' so to speak | 03:35 |
| holstein | and its a few ticks behind | 03:35 |
| holstein | 2.45 | 03:35 |
| holstein | i would say, unless there is something you need | 03:35 |
| holstein | just stick with the one that is in the repos | 03:35 |
| zus | thanks | 03:36 |
| zus | this is a crazy program | 03:38 |
| holstein | looks like | 03:39 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1184942 | 03:39 |
| holstein | there are .debs for 2.49 at the blender site | 03:39 |
| holstein | but, as they say in the biz... if it aint broke :) | 03:40 |
| holstein | yeah, i fired it up a few times | 03:40 |
| holstein | i maverick, i checked out blender with my wacom tablet that i dont know how to use | 03:41 |
| holstein | i think everything worked | 03:41 |
| holstein | all the buttons did something anyways | 03:41 |
| holstein | in maverick* | 03:42 |
| zus | holstein, yeah i kinda dont want to stray too far ahead of the LTS. in a way i spent 6 months getting used to ubuntu and now i have a decent idea but im not ready to get on with jumping evey 6 months... | 04:02 |
| zus | that said i have yet to give mint a decent shot, though, i think on my mint machine i might bounce here and there with | 04:04 |
| crackityjones | Anybody here interested in Reborn (A Linux Rebirth clone)?? | 04:09 |
| holstein | crackityjones: interesting | 04:11 |
| holstein | did you build it? | 04:11 |
| crackityjones | yes | 04:11 |
| crackityjones | it wasn't a difficult compile | 04:11 |
| holstein | crackityjones: check out #opensourcemusicians | 04:11 |
| crackityjones | i had to install some Jaunty gtk debs and that was it. | 04:11 |
| holstein | they might feature it on the podshow they do | 04:12 |
| crackityjones | do you know of the legal issues? | 04:12 |
| crackityjones | i didn't make the software, someone else did a few years ago. | 04:12 |
| holstein | OIC | 04:12 |
| crackityjones | i just managed somehow to find it and build it. | 04:13 |
| holstein | gotta talk to the dev | 04:13 |
| holstein | is it opensource? | 04:13 |
| crackityjones | yes it is. but propellerhead, the company that owns rebirth, threatened a lawsuit so they took it offline. | 04:13 |
| crackityjones | they said the GUI was a copyright infringement. | 04:14 |
| crackityjones | i didn't realize you could copyright a GUI. i don't think you can, can you? | 04:15 |
| zus | no wonder my rebirt didnt work | 04:15 |
| holstein | who knows | 04:15 |
| zus | propellor head is the reason guys lol | 04:16 |
| zus | crackityjones, i caught up with the conversation lol | 04:16 |
| zus | crackityjones, i was asking about rebirth a few days ago actually | 04:16 |
| crackityjones | it's http://www.ossh.com/reborn in the wayback machine on internet archive. i couldn't believe it gave me the file. | 04:18 |
| crackityjones | it works great. i have to compare it to the real thing, but it looks identical. which might explain the lawsuit. | 04:19 |
| zus | i am not good with compilng. | 04:21 |
| crackityjones | ah. it has to be compiled. | 04:22 |
| crackityjones | well, just wanted to share that it is actually still out in internetland. if anybody's interested. | 04:23 |
| zus | in fact i switched torrent clients because i had to compile the newest version, BUT i have worked with reason and propellerhead progrmas this is interesting to have read | 04:24 |
| zus | i got a 404 - not found from the link | 04:24 |
| crackityjones | hmm cos i got it. i forget what avenue i took to get to the sourcecode, but it was on that assh.com site. | 04:27 |
| crackityjones | ossh.com | 04:28 |
| crackityjones | it's got an install script. sh install.sh is pretty much all i had to do besides round up some libraries | 04:28 |
| crackityjones | well gotta go. later. | 04:31 |
| zus | will the ubuntu studio items work in mint, i get the "mint is not a supported..." answer but gnome is not working out for me. | 10:46 |
| zus | think i will go back to kubuntu- kinda regretting going gnome again. | 10:47 |
