| fractauralmotif | hi all, I just installed ubuntu studio, and am having trouble getting sound to work -- have 2 sound cards, basic system sounds work fine, game sounds work fine, but none of the nice audio tools & synthesizers work | 08:10 |
|---|---|---|
| fractauralmotif | in particular, they all seem to want /dev/dsp, and I don't have a /dev/dsp | 08:10 |
| fractauralmotif | any suggestions? | 08:10 |
| fractauralmotif | anyone familiar with how to use padsp? | 08:11 |
| jussi | fractauralmotif: its a bit of a quiet time and not many around. please hang around for a few hours, hopefully someone wakes up | 08:45 |
| jussi | fractauralmotif: feel free to also ask in #ubuntu, although thats a more general channel | 08:46 |
| clave | hello, .... there is a way to edit mp3 or wma in ardour? | 15:10 |
| persia | Most folk use audacity for that. I suppose you could use some audio file as an input track, and then apply filters to it, and generate an output track, which ends up being sorta like editing. | 15:22 |
| clave | mmmm ok... thankyou | 15:31 |
| clave | well thankyou =) good bye | 15:32 |
| poine | any news on a realtime kernel for maverick ? | 18:56 |
| persia | Needs someone to volunteer to maintain one. | 18:56 |
| persia | Significantly unlikely for maverick, really. Best chance, if there is a volunteer, is for the next release. | 18:57 |
| poine | is there any workaround for the moment ? I was stupid enought to upgrade my lucid and now I can't use my soundcard anymore | 18:57 |
| persia | workaround? | 18:57 |
| persia | If you need hard realtime, you'll need a realtime kernel. | 18:58 |
| poine | workaround as a way to get realtime working on maverick | 18:58 |
| persia | Since nobody is maintaining one, you get to make one yourself (please share if it works). | 18:58 |
| persia | I know there are a number of people interested in using one, but I don't think anyone is currently up for maintaining one (although I'd be very happy if that changed) | 18:59 |
| poine | mmmm - I think I'd rather get a looppedal and stop using my laptop for music | 18:59 |
| poine | I'm a bit pissed off that this happened without any warning | 18:59 |
| persia | There was some mail on the mailing list. | 19:00 |
| persia | Where would you have expected to see a warning? | 19:00 |
| poine | in the wiki for example | 19:01 |
| poine | a big red banner saying "warning, maverick doesn't support real time anymore" | 19:01 |
| persia | There's https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime | 19:02 |
| persia | See the "News" section. | 19:02 |
| poine | yes, at the time I update, that is on october 10, there was a realtime kernel for maverick | 19:02 |
| persia | Not in Ubuntu, although, yes, there was one in a PPA. | 19:03 |
| astraljava | poine: Not in the archives there wasn't. | 19:03 |
| poine | in abogani's ppa | 19:03 |
| persia | If you installed something from a PPA, it ought still work as well as it did then. Nothing from any PPA gets any real support. | 19:03 |
| kbn | lol, just did the exact same thing poine :P | 19:11 |
| poine | one thing I don't get is why focus on the next release on not the current one ? | 19:15 |
| persia | The policy is that stuff has to work on the future release before it can be backported. | 19:16 |
| persia | So if someone wants to be part of Ubuntu, it makes sense to get a kernel working on the *next* release, and backport it. | 19:16 |
| persia | So that next release, everything just works perfectly for all the users. | 19:17 |
| persia | Otherwise, just when one gets something stable, another release happens, and one has to start all over, whilst the users complain that the upgrade experience wasn't good. | 19:17 |
| * persia is also a user, and does a *lot* of complaining about some things | 19:17 | |
| holstein | more likely, a warning should be made that the realtime kernel is default | 19:26 |
| holstein | since some folk have issues with proprietary graphics drivers and the RT kernel | 19:26 |
| persia | What? | 19:26 |
| persia | I don't think we've had a default realtime for a while now. | 19:26 |
| * holstein just trying to say 'you cant please everyone' ;) | 19:26 | |
| persia | Oh, certainly. | 19:27 |
| holstein | there is an RT kernel in lucid | 19:29 |
| holstein | i think the idea is that the way forward is to have the generic kernel be acceptable for our needs | 19:30 |
| holstein | and this seems to be happening | 19:30 |
| persia | Well, depends on the needs. | 19:30 |
| holstein | true | 19:30 |
| holstein | i still need an rt kernel | 19:31 |
| persia | But the generic kernel latency keeps dropping, which is nice. | 19:31 |
| holstein | much better all the time i find :) | 19:31 |
