[00:01] <akito3379> hello all
[00:01] <Se7en> hey
[00:02] <akito3379> is it possible to create a podcast with ubuntu studio?
[00:04] <Se7en> hm ..
[00:12] <akito3379> I take it not then?
[04:59] <sinman> not having any luck over in the #ubuntu channel about a small problem, so I was wondering if someone could help here
[05:00] <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
[05:03] <sinman> holstein: are u there??
[05:37] <sinman> need some help with a laptop. touchpad not working on the login screen and neither is a mouse
[06:07] <holstein> sinman: hey :)
[06:08] <holstein> sinman: just the login screen?
[06:13] <sinman> holstein: yes i have no touchpad or mouse, can't login to the laptop
[06:15] <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
[06:17] <sinman> done that and it did nothing
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <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?
[06:21]  * 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
[06:22] <holstein> some vendors just dont support linux :/
[06:22] <sinman> that i know
[06:22] <holstein> broadcom just opensourced some drivers though :)
[06:23] <holstein> sinman: did you install 32-bit? or 64?
[06:23] <sinman> 64 it has windows 7 64 in it
[06:24] <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
[06:25] <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
[06:26] <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
[06:27] <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
[06:28] <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
[06:29] <holstein> http://www.linlap.com/wiki/hp-compaq+presario+cq61-100
[06:31] <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 ?
[06:32] <sinman> from the lspci ir look like ati video
[06:34] <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
[06:36] <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
[06:37] <sinman> is there a command that can tell me the type of proc
[06:38] <holstein> that is a great question
[06:42] <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
[06:43] <sinman> I have AMD Sempron M120 in this laptop
[06:44] <sinman> and it's 64 bit capable
[06:44] <holstein> cool
[06:45] <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
[06:46] <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
[06:47] <sinman> i have couple older ubuntu installs that is 32bit they are 9.10 & 8.0.4.1
[06:48] <sinman> k rebooting the laptop fonna remove the 64bit and put the 32bit in
[06:48] <holstein> :)
[07:39] <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
[07:40] <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
[07:41] <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
[07:42] <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 :)
[08:25]  * terl3 is wandering in the terrace: Gone away for now
[14:23] <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?
[14:24] <terl3> audio from video focusing?
[14:24] <Jim-_-> the audio track on the video cameras footage
[14:24] <terl3> ahh
[14:26] <Blank__> doesn't sound like an easy one
[14:27] <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 :(
[14:29] <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
[14:33] <Blank__> something like izotope rx would work pretty well and fixing those sorts of things, but again it's not cheap
[14:43] <Jim-_-> yeah 350 dollars was a bit much for this I think.
[16:53] <penthief> When I play a note on a midi keyboard through lmms, the note lasts forever. Am I doing something wrong?
[16:54] <penthief> Well, it only stops when I give focus to another application window!
[16:58] <holstein> penthief: interesting
[16:58] <holstein> is there a sustain device?
[16:58] <holstein> pedal or something on the controller that could be stuck?
[16:59] <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?
[17:01] <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?
[17:04] <penthief> Yes. Just played with the connections and it seems like there is nothing unecessary connected.
[17:04] <holstein> cool
[17:05] <holstein> penthief: try yoshimi, if you have it, zynaddsubfx if not yoshimi
[17:09] <penthief> holstein: I'm going to reply on #lmms to avoid cross-posting
[17:10] <holstein> well, im just glad to hear lmms is working
[17:10] <holstein> i tried it a couple years ago
[17:11] <holstein> and it did not like JACK
[17:11] <holstein> *not that im saying its an LMMS issue
[19:10] <Jim-_-> I'm very new to this Ubuntu studio, where would I find a overview of what I just installed and what does what? :)
[19:12] <Jim-_-> ie. what program does noise reduction and what does hamburgers...
[21:19] <holstein> hey Jim-_-
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <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> ;)
[21:23] <holstein> http://www.linuxmusicians.com/
[21:29] <Jim-_-> I think you just summed up my technical learning method, and told me "NO!!" :)
[21:31] <Jim-_-> but it was genius
[21:31] <holstein> Jim-_-: hehe
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <Jim-_-> I want to clean up audio as well as make sure the volumes are similar, does audacity do such things?
[21:38] <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
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <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
[21:42] <Jim-_-> ah ok, thank you for the help.
[21:42] <holstein> anytime
