[01:38] <ronj> hi there
[01:39] <rlameiro> hi
[01:39] <ronj> ScottL, did you have any feedback from Luke about the resolution of the foomatic iso install bug? I just got a pcmcia firewire card to test my audio gear and want to do some rt testing
[01:39] <holstein> cool
[01:40] <holstein> TI chipset?
[01:40] <rlameiro> ronj: nice, you remind mee, i also need to buy one express card with a TI chip....
[01:40] <ronj> holstein, dunno yet, part of the fun will be to see whether it works or not...
[01:40] <holstein> hehe
[01:40] <holstein> i had a via one that worked well too
[01:40] <rlameiro> is it TI ronj ?
[01:40] <holstein> pci card with via chip
[01:41] <ronj> wait
[01:41] <rlameiro> can you give model and brand?
[01:41] <ronj> this is what I bought: http://www.pc-bits.co.uk/0069-900878-B000UZMZQW-Startech_1_Port_USB_20_and_2_Port_FireWire_ExpressCard_Laptop_Combo_Adapter_Card.html
[01:42] <ronj> it is a 34mm PCMCIA card
[01:42] <holstein> its the agere 's that i can get to do anything
[01:42] <ronj> great :)
[01:43] <ronj> and on my production machine it's whatever dell put and I never had any problem
[01:43] <holstein> eh
[01:43] <holstein> ronj: it might be cool
[01:43] <ronj> why are you interested in this? is this exotic? are there usually compatibility issues
[01:43] <rlameiro> i cant get my latency down because of the chipset
[01:43] <holstein> you never know what chipset they put in there really
[01:43] <holstein> yup
[01:43] <holstein> TI chipsets are the goods
[01:43] <holstein> for linux
[01:43] <rlameiro> TI is the most stable chipset for audio
[01:44] <ronj> oh sure, I guess some chipset are better than others
[01:44] <rlameiro> holstein: not only linux
[01:44] <holstein> ronj: nah
[01:44] <holstein> some just plain suck
[01:44] <ronj> ^^
[01:44] <ronj> well wait let me boot a livecd and see what's in. what should I use for this pcmcia thing? lspci ?
[01:44] <holstein> rlameiro: the agere that xruns like hell on my macbook
[01:45] <holstein> runs fine under OSX
[01:45] <holstein> ronj: lspci should do it
[01:47] <rlameiro> YAY ronj
[01:47] <rlameiro> its TI
[01:47] <rlameiro> http://eu.startech.com/product/EC1U2F-1-Port-USB-20-and-2-Port-FireWire-ExpressCard-Laptop-Combo-Adapter-Card
[01:47] <holstein> http://www.manhattan-products.com/en-US/products/8828-hi-speed-usb-expresscard-34
[01:47] <rlameiro> look at technical details
[01:47] <holstein> ^^ thats the one i got
[01:48] <holstein> rlameiro: sweet :)
[01:48] <holstein> ronj: you got the goods :)
[01:48] <ronj> yay!
[01:48] <rlameiro> TI XIO2200
[01:48] <ronj> weeeeeeell good but I'm unable to see it in lspci :-/
[01:49] <ronj> ooooooh: "expresscard: disabled" in the BIOS
[01:49] <ronj> must explain this
[01:49] <holstein> :)
[01:49] <rlameiro> lol
[01:49] <rlameiro> ronj: usually that is called an EPIC FAIL
[01:50] <rlameiro> lol
[01:50] <ronj> rlameiro, heh at least I realized it, so it must be a semi-EPICFAIL
[01:51] <rlameiro> well, on that you are very true
[01:51] <rlameiro> just FAIL then
[01:51] <rlameiro> hehe
[01:51] <rlameiro> well, most of people would shout out to everyone saying that linux sucks, that nothing works
[01:51] <rlameiro> etc etc etc....
[01:52] <ronj> yay! FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments XI02200(A)
[01:52] <ronj> grrrrrrrreat
[01:52] <ronj> lucky boy
[01:52] <rlameiro> you got the nice stuff
[01:54] <ronj> oh by the way, [announce] I recently bought two control surfaces: a Korg nanoKontrol as a portable cheap mixer, and a Behringer FCB1010 as a foot controller for sampling / triggering. if anyone here has similar crap and would like to share tips/advice, would be great
[01:54] <persia> Some BIOS implementations provide user interfaces to enable/disable parts so that folks who don't use stuff can save power.  Often these are end-user adjustable.
[01:55] <holstein> cool ronj , you should announce that in #opensourcemusicians
[01:55] <holstein> ive seen chatter about that foot controller
[01:55] <ronj> holstein, thanks, didn't know this channel, is it on freenode?
[01:55] <holstein> yup
[01:55] <rlameiro> ronj: I have a FCB1010!!!!
[01:56] <holstein> rlameiro: i bet you were the one chattering about it ;)
[01:56] <ScottL> ronj, i do not yet, i haven't heard from him but i'll give him a poke though :)
[01:56] <rlameiro> holstein: probably
[01:56] <ronj> thanks ScottL
[01:57] <rlameiro> ronj: its a pain in the ass to programm it, but there is some guys that make a firmware for it, and then its way more easy , and you can programm it on your computer :D
[01:57] <ronj> rlameiro, yup I just ordered a UnO chip
[01:58] <rlameiro> lol :D
[01:58] <ronj> 16euros, fine bugfixing and nice addons, I'm sold
[01:58] <rlameiro> i need to order mine
[01:58] <rlameiro> I just use the default settings it comes from factory
[01:58] <ronj> oh you have a FCB1010 too?
[01:58] <rlameiro> i love puredata :D
[01:58] <rlameiro> yes I have
[01:59] <ronj> rlameiro, cool. I'm just discovering it and am fiddling with sooperlooper and rakarrack. do you have interesting software / advice to share?
[01:59] <rlameiro> ronj: i use it on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNsOtl8ia0k
[02:00] <rlameiro> ronj: my advice is puredata, but i know that that its not for everyone
[02:01] <rlameiro> well, need to go to bed, cya tomorrow, good luck ronj , bye holstein
[02:01] <ronj> rlameiro, I never ever tried puredata (quite intimidating at the beginning) but ok I take note
[02:01] <ronj> thanks rlameiro, good night
[02:01] <holstein> rlameiro: GN :)
[09:28] <mammig> ta souris commence à deconner
