[00:01] hello all [00:01] hey [00:02] is it possible to create a podcast with ubuntu studio? [00:04] hm .. [00:12] I take it not then? [04:59] not having any luck over in the #ubuntu channel about a small problem, so I was wondering if someone could help here [05:00] 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] holstein: are u there?? === sinman is now known as sinister_nation [05:37] need some help with a laptop. touchpad not working on the login screen and neither is a mouse [06:07] sinman: hey :) [06:08] sinman: just the login screen? [06:13] holstein: yes i have no touchpad or mouse, can't login to the laptop [06:15] hmmm [06:15] when you get to the login screen [06:15] just start typing [06:15] and see if you can get in [06:17] done that and it did nothing [06:18] maybe the keyboard isnt working too? [06:18] sinman: i would [06:18] shut it down [06:18] unplug the power [06:18] take the battery out [06:18] let it sit with no power for a few seconds [06:18] put it back together [06:18] boot into the bios and have a look [06:18] k [06:19] that'll tell you if the keyboard is working too [06:19] then, if you got no love [06:19] try a live CD [06:19] sinman: is this a known good laptop? [06:19] everything works in windows [06:20] hmmm [06:20] i just got today from the rental center [06:20] what is it? [06:20] did you install ubuntu on it? [06:20] compaq preario CQ61-400WM [06:20] how did it run with the live CD? [06:21] * holstein *always* tries a live CD first [06:21] you can decide how much trouble its going to be [06:21] before you get started [06:21] 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] some vendors just dont support linux :/ [06:22] that i know [06:22] broadcom just opensourced some drivers though :) [06:23] sinman: did you install 32-bit? or 64? [06:23] 64 it has windows 7 64 in it [06:24] you might want to go with the 32 [06:24] if that works well live [06:24] botting up with the 32 anbd take live first [06:25] thats how i roll [06:25] i make sure i can see everthing in lspci [06:25] and the graphics are cool [06:26] if the processor is a 32bit then why would dell put in a 64bit OS [06:26] and aplay -l and arecord -l reports what i expect [06:26] hmmm [06:26] its a compaq right? [06:26] yes [06:27] correction not dell but HP [06:27] probably a 64bit proc [06:27] i would just take the path of least resistance probably [06:27] if it looked like things werent going to work well [06:27] with this i might jast have to do that [06:27] * holstein cant find any info on that thing [06:28] CQ61 ? [06:28] 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] http://www.linlap.com/wiki/hp-compaq+presario+cq61-100 [06:31] i have the CQ61-400 and thats the one i can't find [06:31] sinman: does that seem like it? [06:31] intel proc [06:31] ATI ? [06:32] from the lspci ir look like ati video [06:34] i bet that one is pretty close in specs [06:34] yeah te hardware driver is saying ati video [06:34] probably except the procs, i have amd in this laptop [06:36] the touchpad is working fine in the live mode on the 32bit disk [06:36] dammit [06:36] i thought you said it was intel :) [06:36] no amd proc [06:37] is there a command that can tell me the type of proc [06:38] that is a great question [06:42] ah ha [06:42] i did a search on google the command is sudo dmidecode –t 4 [06:42] sinman: cat /proc/cpuinfo [06:43] I have AMD Sempron M120 in this laptop [06:44] and it's 64 bit capable [06:44] cool [06:45] but on this laptop I'll just play it safe and put in the 32bit [06:45] i know the touchpad works in the 32bit mode [06:45] its going to be years til 64bit is an actual advantage [06:45] across the board [06:45] yep [06:46] but i'll keep the 64bit on my desktop [06:46] ive got one 64bit install [06:46] the others are 32s [06:47] i have couple older ubuntu installs that is 32bit they are 9.10 & 8.0.4.1 [06:48] k rebooting the laptop fonna remove the 64bit and put the 32bit in [06:48] :) [07:39] holstein: I'm back, but this time on the laptop. can't stay to long battery going dead. lol [07:39] AH [07:39] thats good right? [07:39] holstein: but when i plug the power cord in i lose my touchpad [07:40] sinman: w0w [07:40] 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] that is interesting [07:40] yep [07:40] im wondering if the whole thing doesnt just lock up [07:41] because of the power management [07:41] it seem like it does and have to push the main power button to turn it off [07:41] I'll play around with the power management tomorrow [07:42] gonna log off the laptop for the night and let it charge up [07:42] yeah, thats plausible [07:42] sinman: GN :) [08:25] * terl3 is wandering in the terrace: Gone away for now [14:23] 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] audio from video focusing? [14:24] the audio track on the video cameras footage [14:24] ahh [14:26] doesn't sound like an easy one [14:27] damn, what program would be the easiest program to use to manually lower the spikes? [14:27] you could give gnome wave cleaner a try, but i only have experience in programs like adobe audition and izotope rx :( [14:29] hmm, I do have CS3 master collection adobe audition didn't come with that + [14:29] ? [14:29] i bought the student version and didn't install everything :0 [14:33] something like izotope rx would work pretty well and fixing those sorts of things, but again it's not cheap [14:43] yeah 350 dollars was a bit much for this I think. [16:53] When I play a note on a midi keyboard through lmms, the note lasts forever. Am I doing something wrong? [16:54] Well, it only stops when I give focus to another application window! [16:58] penthief: interesting [16:58] is there a sustain device? [16:58] pedal or something on the controller that could be stuck? [16:59] No. The keyboard has a sus pedal input but I don't have one. [16:59] penthief: does it do this with other applications? [16:59] anything else routed with JACK? [17:01] I haven't tried other application on this install yet. Hang on while I work out how to use another app. [17:01] penthief: are you using JACK? [17:04] Yes. Just played with the connections and it seems like there is nothing unecessary connected. [17:04] cool [17:05] penthief: try yoshimi, if you have it, zynaddsubfx if not yoshimi [17:09] holstein: I'm going to reply on #lmms to avoid cross-posting [17:10] well, im just glad to hear lmms is working [17:10] i tried it a couple years ago [17:11] and it did not like JACK [17:11] *not that im saying its an LMMS issue === olinuxx_ is now known as olinuxx [19:10] 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] ie. what program does noise reduction and what does hamburgers... [21:19] hey Jim-_- [21:20] check out http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/ [21:20] and other linux musician places online [21:20] there are a lot of choices [21:21] and i would suggest thinking more like 'this is the task i want to do, how do i do that' [21:21] rather than 'hmmm, whats this button do' [21:21] ;) [21:23] http://www.linuxmusicians.com/ [21:29] I think you just summed up my technical learning method, and told me "NO!!" :) [21:31] but it was genius [21:31] Jim-_-: hehe [21:32] Jim-_-: are you totally new to linux audio? [21:32] are you using JACK yet? [21:32] i have done nothing as of yet. [21:32] I read something about jack but have no idea [21:33] thats a pretty good place to start [21:33] Jim-_-: what are you planning on doing? [21:33] I'm actually educated to be a photographer I just want to do audio and video aswell [21:33] MIDI ? [21:33] AH [21:33] the graphic stuff is a bit easier to get started i think [21:33] jupp AH indeed :) [21:33] you dont need JACK [21:33] but what is it ? [21:33] well, you dont *need* JACK anyways [21:33] but its awesome [21:34] JACK basically allows you to interface programs [21:34] and hardware too [21:34] for example [21:34] ah ok. [21:34] i can plug something in to my sound device [21:34] route that in jack to a software effects processor [21:35] like rakarrack [21:35] and then route that to a DAW like ardour and record it [21:35] and/or route that to something like darkice that would allow me to stream it as well [21:35] online [21:35] there are other advantages too [21:36] to using JACK [21:36] ah ok yeah that i don't need [21:36] usually better performance [21:36] yet... :) [21:36] latency-wise [21:36] Jim-_-: for you, if you just want to add an effect here and there [21:36] to a stereo track [21:36] or edit [21:36] you might just want to look at audacity for a while [21:37] I want to clean up audio as well as make sure the volumes are similar, does audacity do such things? [21:38] sure [21:38] its not the best tool for the job in my opinion [21:38] but quite easy to use [21:38] best open source software for it? [21:38] and it'll acutally edit stero files very well [21:39] Jim-_-: i bet thats all agruable [21:39] BUT i use ardour [21:39] and do most audio editing in there [21:39] using JACK [21:39] routing to plugins that are included [21:40] or other software tools such as JAMin [21:40] or something like http://www.linuxdsp.co.uk/download/index.html [21:40] ah ok, i'll see what I'm most comfortable with, seems i have it installed as well [21:40] yeah, the standard ubuntustudio meta-packages are quite common [21:40] as far as what you need to get the job done [21:42] ah ok, thank you for the help. [21:42] anytime
