[16:18] <dumbstupidhuman> Hi, I am new, and trying to get pointed in the right direction for making contributions to ubuntu. I would appreciate any help.
[16:18] <holstein> hey dumbstupidhuman
[16:18] <holstein> ubuntu? or ubuntustudio?
[16:19] <dumbstupidhuman> ubuntu, im guessing this is the wrong place?
[16:19] <holstein> AH
[16:19] <holstein> not necessarily ;)
[16:19] <holstein> but yeah, this is rather ubuntustudio specific
[16:19] <holstein> dumbstupidhuman: i would look at...
[16:20] <holstein> http://loco.ubuntu.com/
[16:20] <holstein> see if there is a local ubuntu team active near you
[16:20] <dumbstupidhuman> wonderful, thank you holstein
[16:21] <holstein> and try and find the channel that matches what your interested in
[16:21] <holstein> if your wanting to work with the kernel
[16:21] <dumbstupidhuman> I am a visual guy, interaction
[16:21] <holstein> i think there is an #ubuntu-kernel channel
[16:21] <holstein> i think there is an #ubuntu-kern ??
[16:22] <holstein> theres an ubuntu channel for everything :)
[16:22] <dumbstupidhuman> wonderful
[16:22] <holstein> dumbstupidhuman: :)
[18:05] <wpots> hello all i am debating whether to install ubuntu studio...how is the music production on it?
[18:05] <holstein> hey wpots
[18:05] <holstein> are you running ubuntu now?
[18:06] <wpots> i have lots of experience developing with ubuntu..kub, linux mint
[18:06] <holstein> AH cool
[18:06] <wpots> but it is not my primary system any more
[18:06] <wpots> it was about 2 months ago
[18:06] <holstein> you can add the studio packages
[18:06] <holstein> or just whatever software you want to use
[18:06] <holstein> check out
[18:06] <wpots> ok ok
[18:06] <wpots> cool
[18:06] <holstein> !vanilla
[18:07] <holstein> OR apt-cache search ubuntustudio
[18:07] <holstein> or however you search
[18:07] <wpots> ok i will do that
[18:07] <holstein> wpots: works great
[18:07] <holstein> theres a podshow..
[18:07] <holstein> and a channel
[18:07] <holstein> #opensourcemusicians
[18:07] <holstein> wpots: in my opinion, if you have linux experience
[18:08] <holstein> and your not tying to make ubuntu audio *be* something else
[18:08] <holstein> you'll love it
[18:08] <holstein> JACK is great
[18:08] <holstein> and ardour
[18:08] <holstein> MIDI is coming along all the tie
[18:08] <holstein> time*
[18:08] <holstein> MIDI and video editing :)
[18:09] <holstein> OK
[18:09]  * holstein gotta run
[18:09] <holstein> BBL
[18:09] <wpots> allright thanks for your help
[18:09] <wpots> ill give it a try!
[22:04] <NOMADICUS> Hello.  I am trying to build a midia box suitable for capturing and processing audio.  What software will I need?  I also understand that there is some kind of an issue with realtime audio access, will someone please explain that to me?
[22:06] <holstein> NOMADICUS: hey
[22:06] <holstein> no issue really
[22:06] <holstein> NOMADICUS: do you use ubuntu?
[22:07] <NOMADICUS> holstein: Yes, but I am in the process of migrating to Debian.
[22:08] <holstein> AH
[22:08] <holstein> well, have a look at
[22:08] <holstein> !vanilla
[22:08] <holstein> NOMADICUS: the ubuntustudio stuff is really just a collection of packages
[22:08] <holstein> you can search for ubuntustudio in synaptic or where ever
[22:08] <holstein> or sudo apt-cache search ubuntustudio
[22:09] <holstein> those wont be in the debian repos
[22:09] <holstein> but all the software should be :)
[22:09] <holstein> as far as realtime goes
[22:09] <holstein> i would just get into it, and see if you need it
[22:09] <holstein> most dont
[22:11] <holstein> http://www.opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/
[22:12] <holstein> ^^ :)
[22:14] <NOMADICUS> holstein: Whenever I try to run Rosegarden it indicates to me that it requires realtime access.
[22:14] <NOMADICUS> holstein: These are great links!
[22:15] <holstein> NOMADICUS: how does it indicate?
[22:15] <holstein> what kernel are you running?
[22:15] <holstein> NOMADICUS: are you using JACK ?
[22:15] <holstein> JACK is really the key
[22:16] <holstein> this is a debian distro http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html
[22:16] <holstein> runs live
[22:17] <holstein> you can get a feel of what is normally in an audio distro
[22:17] <holstein> also
[22:17] <holstein> http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/
[22:18] <holstein> that being said, there is quite a community around ubuntustudio
[22:19] <NOMADICUS> holstein: 2.6.32-24-generic
[22:20] <holstein> NOMADICUS: no reason why you *need* a realtime kernel
[22:20] <holstein> for rosegarden
[22:21] <holstein> i would start JACK
[22:21] <holstein> and trouble shoot that to run with the generic kernel
[22:21] <holstein> and start using RG :)
[22:28] <NOMADICUS> This should help quite a bit, thanks.
[22:28] <holstein> :)
[22:28] <holstein> its do-able
[22:29] <holstein> with that generic kernel
[22:29] <holstein> also, theres linux-lowlatency
[22:30] <holstein> sudo apt-cache search linux-lowlatency
