| sinman | not having any luck over in the #ubuntu channel about a small problem, so I was wondering if someone could help here | 04:59 |
| sinman | i installed ubuntu 10.04,1 live disk on my laptop, at the login screen it's not reconizing the touchpad and i can't log in because of it | 05:00 |
| sinman | holstein: are u there?? | 05:03 |
| === sinman is now known as sinister_nation | ||
| sinman | need some help with a laptop. touchpad not working on the login screen and neither is a mouse | 05:37 |
| holstein | sinman: hey :) | 06:07 |
| holstein | sinman: just the login screen? | 06:08 |
| sinman | holstein: yes i have no touchpad or mouse, can't login to the laptop | 06:13 |
| holstein | hmmm | 06:15 |
| holstein | when you get to the login screen | 06:15 |
| holstein | just start typing | 06:15 |
| holstein | and see if you can get in | 06:15 |
| sinman | done that and it did nothing | 06:17 |
| holstein | maybe the keyboard isnt working too? | 06:18 |
| holstein | sinman: i would | 06:18 |
| holstein | shut it down | 06:18 |
| holstein | unplug the power | 06:18 |
| holstein | take the battery out | 06:18 |
| holstein | let it sit with no power for a few seconds | 06:18 |
| holstein | put it back together | 06:18 |
| holstein | boot into the bios and have a look | 06:18 |
| sinman | k | 06:18 |
| holstein | that'll tell you if the keyboard is working too | 06:19 |
| holstein | then, if you got no love | 06:19 |
| holstein | try a live CD | 06:19 |
| holstein | sinman: is this a known good laptop? | 06:19 |
| sinman | everything works in windows | 06:19 |
| holstein | hmmm | 06:20 |
| sinman | i just got today from the rental center | 06:20 |
| holstein | what is it? | 06:20 |
| holstein | did you install ubuntu on it? | 06:20 |
| sinman | compaq preario CQ61-400WM | 06:20 |
| holstein | how did it run with the live CD? | 06:20 |
| * holstein *always* tries a live CD first | 06:21 | |
| holstein | you can decide how much trouble its going to be | 06:21 |
| holstein | before you get started | 06:21 |
| sinman | the 32bit cd it done great, but i just try run it live from the 64bit disk after it booted the screen was black | 06:21 |
| holstein | some vendors just dont support linux :/ | 06:22 |
| sinman | that i know | 06:22 |
| holstein | broadcom just opensourced some drivers though :) | 06:22 |
| holstein | sinman: did you install 32-bit? or 64? | 06:23 |
| sinman | 64 it has windows 7 64 in it | 06:23 |
| holstein | you might want to go with the 32 | 06:24 |
| holstein | if that works well live | 06:24 |
| sinman | botting up with the 32 anbd take live first | 06:24 |
| holstein | thats how i roll | 06:25 |
| holstein | i make sure i can see everthing in lspci | 06:25 |
| holstein | and the graphics are cool | 06:25 |
| sinman | if the processor is a 32bit then why would dell put in a 64bit OS | 06:26 |
| holstein | and aplay -l and arecord -l reports what i expect | 06:26 |
| holstein | hmmm | 06:26 |
| holstein | its a compaq right? | 06:26 |
| sinman | yes | 06:26 |
| sinman | correction not dell but HP | 06:27 |
| holstein | probably a 64bit proc | 06:27 |
| holstein | i would just take the path of least resistance probably | 06:27 |
| holstein | if it looked like things werent going to work well | 06:27 |
| sinman | with this i might jast have to do that | 06:27 |
| * holstein cant find any info on that thing | 06:27 | |
| holstein | CQ61 ? | 06:28 |
| sinman | yes i had that same problem, only could find CQ60 those has intel proc in them and the CQ61's have amd procs | 06:28 |
| holstein | http://www.linlap.com/wiki/hp-compaq+presario+cq61-100 | 06:29 |
| sinman | i have the CQ61-400 and thats the one i can't find | 06:31 |
| holstein | sinman: does that seem like it? | 06:31 |
| holstein | intel proc | 06:31 |
| holstein | ATI ? | 06:31 |
| sinman | from the lspci ir look like ati video | 06:32 |
| holstein | i bet that one is pretty close in specs | 06:34 |
| sinman | yeah te hardware driver is saying ati video | 06:34 |
| sinman | probably except the procs, i have amd in this laptop | 06:34 |
| sinman | the touchpad is working fine in the live mode on the 32bit disk | 06:36 |
| holstein | dammit | 06:36 |
| holstein | i thought you said it was intel :) | 06:36 |
| sinman | no amd proc | 06:36 |
| sinman | is there a command that can tell me the type of proc | 06:37 |
| holstein | that is a great question | 06:38 |
| holstein | ah ha | 06:42 |
| sinman | i did a search on google the command is sudo dmidecode –t 4 | 06:42 |
| holstein | sinman: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 06:42 |
| sinman | I have AMD Sempron M120 in this laptop | 06:43 |
| sinman | and it's 64 bit capable | 06:44 |
| holstein | cool | 06:44 |
| sinman | but on this laptop I'll just play it safe and put in the 32bit | 06:45 |
| sinman | i know the touchpad works in the 32bit mode | 06:45 |
| holstein | its going to be years til 64bit is an actual advantage | 06:45 |
| holstein | across the board | 06:45 |
| sinman | yep | 06:45 |
| sinman | but i'll keep the 64bit on my desktop | 06:46 |
| holstein | ive got one 64bit install | 06:46 |
| holstein | the others are 32s | 06:46 |
| sinman | i have couple older ubuntu installs that is 32bit they are 9.10 & 8.0.4.1 | 06:47 |
| sinman | k rebooting the laptop fonna remove the 64bit and put the 32bit in | 06:48 |
| holstein | :) | 06:48 |
| sinman | holstein: I'm back, but this time on the laptop. can't stay to long battery going dead. lol | 07:39 |
| holstein | AH | 07:39 |
| holstein | thats good right? | 07:39 |
| sinman | holstein: but when i plug the power cord in i lose my touchpad | 07:39 |
| holstein | sinman: w0w | 07:40 |
| sinman | so far everything is looking good except the power cord being plugin or a usb device plug in while on ubuntu, then i lose touchpad | 07:40 |
| holstein | that is interesting | 07:40 |
| sinman | yep | 07:40 |
| holstein | im wondering if the whole thing doesnt just lock up | 07:40 |
| holstein | because of the power management | 07:41 |
| sinman | it seem like it does and have to push the main power button to turn it off | 07:41 |
| sinman | I'll play around with the power management tomorrow | 07:41 |
| sinman | gonna log off the laptop for the night and let it charge up | 07:42 |
| holstein | yeah, thats plausible | 07:42 |
| holstein | sinman: GN :) | 07:42 |
| * terl3 is wandering in the terrace: Gone away for now | 08:25 | |
| Jim-_- | hi all, I was wondering if there is a tutorial or plugin to help me remove a somewhat repetative noice from the audio of a video recording, i have some old video from a Kodak P880 that seem to have picked up a auto focus noice, also there are some that have gotten disturbed by GSM noice... anyone know any way to help? | 14:23 |
| terl3 | audio from video focusing? | 14:24 |
| Jim-_- | the audio track on the video cameras footage | 14:24 |
| terl3 | ahh | 14:24 |
| Blank__ | doesn't sound like an easy one | 14:26 |
| Jim-_- | damn, what program would be the easiest program to use to manually lower the spikes? | 14:27 |
| Blank__ | you could give gnome wave cleaner a try, but i only have experience in programs like adobe audition and izotope rx :( | 14:27 |
| Jim-_- | hmm, I do have CS3 master collection adobe audition didn't come with that + | 14:29 |
| Jim-_- | ? | 14:29 |
| Jim-_- | i bought the student version and didn't install everything :0 | 14:29 |
| Blank__ | something like izotope rx would work pretty well and fixing those sorts of things, but again it's not cheap | 14:33 |
| Jim-_- | yeah 350 dollars was a bit much for this I think. | 14:43 |
| penthief | When I play a note on a midi keyboard through lmms, the note lasts forever. Am I doing something wrong? | 16:53 |
| penthief | Well, it only stops when I give focus to another application window! | 16:54 |
| holstein | penthief: interesting | 16:58 |
| holstein | is there a sustain device? | 16:58 |
| holstein | pedal or something on the controller that could be stuck? | 16:58 |
| penthief | No. The keyboard has a sus pedal input but I don't have one. | 16:59 |
| holstein | penthief: does it do this with other applications? | 16:59 |
| holstein | anything else routed with JACK? | 16:59 |
| penthief | I haven't tried other application on this install yet. Hang on while I work out how to use another app. | 17:01 |
| holstein | penthief: are you using JACK? | 17:01 |
| penthief | Yes. Just played with the connections and it seems like there is nothing unecessary connected. | 17:04 |
| holstein | cool | 17:04 |
| holstein | penthief: try yoshimi, if you have it, zynaddsubfx if not yoshimi | 17:05 |
| penthief | holstein: I'm going to reply on #lmms to avoid cross-posting | 17:09 |
| holstein | well, im just glad to hear lmms is working | 17:10 |
| holstein | i tried it a couple years ago | 17:10 |
| holstein | and it did not like JACK | 17:11 |
| holstein | *not that im saying its an LMMS issue | 17:11 |
| === olinuxx_ is now known as olinuxx | ||
| Jim-_- | I'm very new to this Ubuntu studio, where would I find a overview of what I just installed and what does what? :) | 19:10 |
| Jim-_- | ie. what program does noise reduction and what does hamburgers... | 19:12 |
| holstein | hey Jim-_- | 21:19 |
| holstein | check out http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/ | 21:20 |
| holstein | and other linux musician places online | 21:20 |
| holstein | there are a lot of choices | 21:20 |
| holstein | and i would suggest thinking more like 'this is the task i want to do, how do i do that' | 21:21 |
| holstein | rather than 'hmmm, whats this button do' | 21:21 |
| holstein | ;) | 21:21 |
| holstein | http://www.linuxmusicians.com/ | 21:23 |
| Jim-_- | I think you just summed up my technical learning method, and told me "NO!!" :) | 21:29 |
| Jim-_- | but it was genius | 21:31 |
| holstein | Jim-_-: hehe | 21:31 |
| holstein | Jim-_-: are you totally new to linux audio? | 21:32 |
| holstein | are you using JACK yet? | 21:32 |
| Jim-_- | i have done nothing as of yet. | 21:32 |
| Jim-_- | I read something about jack but have no idea | 21:32 |
| holstein | thats a pretty good place to start | 21:33 |
| holstein | Jim-_-: what are you planning on doing? | 21:33 |
| Jim-_- | I'm actually educated to be a photographer I just want to do audio and video aswell | 21:33 |
| holstein | MIDI ? | 21:33 |
| holstein | AH | 21:33 |
| holstein | the graphic stuff is a bit easier to get started i think | 21:33 |
| Jim-_- | jupp AH indeed :) | 21:33 |
| holstein | you dont need JACK | 21:33 |
| Jim-_- | but what is it ? | 21:33 |
| holstein | well, you dont *need* JACK anyways | 21:33 |
| holstein | but its awesome | 21:33 |
| holstein | JACK basically allows you to interface programs | 21:34 |
| holstein | and hardware too | 21:34 |
| holstein | for example | 21:34 |
| Jim-_- | ah ok. | 21:34 |
| holstein | i can plug something in to my sound device | 21:34 |
| holstein | route that in jack to a software effects processor | 21:34 |
| holstein | like rakarrack | 21:35 |
| holstein | and then route that to a DAW like ardour and record it | 21:35 |
| holstein | and/or route that to something like darkice that would allow me to stream it as well | 21:35 |
| holstein | online | 21:35 |
| holstein | there are other advantages too | 21:35 |
| holstein | to using JACK | 21:36 |
| Jim-_- | ah ok yeah that i don't need | 21:36 |
| holstein | usually better performance | 21:36 |
| Jim-_- | yet... :) | 21:36 |
| holstein | latency-wise | 21:36 |
| holstein | Jim-_-: for you, if you just want to add an effect here and there | 21:36 |
| holstein | to a stereo track | 21:36 |
| holstein | or edit | 21:36 |
| holstein | you might just want to look at audacity for a while | 21:36 |
| Jim-_- | I want to clean up audio as well as make sure the volumes are similar, does audacity do such things? | 21:37 |
| holstein | sure | 21:38 |
| holstein | its not the best tool for the job in my opinion | 21:38 |
| holstein | but quite easy to use | 21:38 |
| Jim-_- | best open source software for it? | 21:38 |
| holstein | and it'll acutally edit stero files very well | 21:38 |
| holstein | Jim-_-: i bet thats all agruable | 21:39 |
| holstein | BUT i use ardour | 21:39 |
| holstein | and do most audio editing in there | 21:39 |
| holstein | using JACK | 21:39 |
| holstein | routing to plugins that are included | 21:39 |
| holstein | or other software tools such as JAMin | 21:40 |
| holstein | or something like http://www.linuxdsp.co.uk/download/index.html | 21:40 |
| Jim-_- | ah ok, i'll see what I'm most comfortable with, seems i have it installed as well | 21:40 |
| holstein | yeah, the standard ubuntustudio meta-packages are quite common | 21:40 |
| holstein | as far as what you need to get the job done | 21:40 |
| Jim-_- | ah ok, thank you for the help. | 21:42 |
| holstein | anytime | 21:42 |
