[00:55] ive got ubuntu 10.10 installed. can i install ubuntu studio on top of it w/o losing anything? TIA! [00:56] hey nimbiotics [00:57] you can just install what you want [00:57] from the repos [00:57] IF you want to install one of the meta-packages [00:57] you can do that [00:57] you can search in synaptic for ubuntustudio [00:57] and READ about them [00:57] i dnt know much about this, but i think ive got to replace pulseaudio. how do i do that? [00:57] nimbiotics: nah [00:57] you dont [00:58] for example [00:58] its all messed up [00:58] there is a metapackage [00:58] ubuntustudio-audio [00:58] you install that [00:58] and you get JACK and ardour [00:58] and other goodies [00:58] ubuntustudio-audio-plugins [00:58] those are the audio plugins [00:58] will it replace pulseaudio? [00:58] no [00:58] how can i replace pulseaudio? [00:59] you will have to trouble shoot that separately [00:59] what is the issue? [00:59] long story ... [01:00] have been trying to merge a sink and a source and after all the testing ive done, all ive got is messdup stuff [01:00] well, i would probably google 'ubuntu maverick 10.10 remove pulse audio' [01:00] you dont really replace it [01:00] JACK will run usually regardless [01:01] but, thats not really the purpose of JACK [01:01] i dnt want to make my life more complicated, all i need to do is be able to record phone calls i make thru google voice [01:01] nimbiotics: OH [01:01] i remember you ;) [01:01] you didnt just script that? [01:01] yes, we were talking last nite [01:01] just script it, and put a shortcut on the desktop [01:02] now i cant even create the loopbacks i need cause i get an error (Connection failure: Connection terminated) [01:02] so not even the scripts will do [01:02] i suppose you could try reinstalling pulse [01:02] no reason why you need to replace pulse [01:02] BUT you can get rid of it [01:03] i woudl like to completley remove it and reinstall, how can i do that? [01:04] removing pulse is tricky [01:04] i would try selecting it in synaptic [01:04] and select 'reinstall' [01:04] and see how that goes [01:05] ok, hope that works, ty [01:06] i would read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [01:07] ACTUALLY, if it were me, i would just reinstall ;) [01:07] BUT, if i wanted to try and repair, i would read that ^^ [01:08] prolly take me about 15 minutes to reinstall ubuntu [01:09] i uninstalled pulseaudio, deleted default.pa and am installing again ... will let you know [01:11] well, lloks like it worked [01:11] sweet :) [01:12] will take me a while to test further [01:12] thanks again ... i will most surely bother you again in a while [01:12] hehe [01:12] nimbiotics: i'll probably be here :) [01:12] hope so. so far you've been my only angel [01:13] lol [17:48] hi is there an app on ubuntu studio like the software manager on reg ubuntu? [17:49] so i can install custom packages [18:04] Heyo folks. I am having an issue with my recent Ubuntu Studio 10.10 install. The install went fine, but on boot I first get an error about missing dependencies.dep, but that seems to not cause anything. After that I get the loading screen with some graphical glitches on the right hand side. After that (only one letter in) the full screen turns to graphical glitches [18:05] I'm assuming graphics issues. I'm on a Nvidia 250 GT [18:07] is anyone actually active in here? I hate lurkers... [18:29] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_2KCPeH1nc [18:29] PLEASE SOMEONE HELP WITH THIS [18:34] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_2KCPeH1nc [18:34] help please [18:40] Is there anybody out there? [18:40] Just nod if you can hear me [18:41] Is there anyone at home? [18:41] Why are these 23 people in the chatroom? Sign out when you arent talking... jesus [18:43] Come on, now [18:43] I here you're feeling down [18:43] Well I can ease your pain, get you on your feet again. [18:44] There is no pain you are recieving [18:44] and screw it.. later folks. Sorry for the spam, but testing for any live ones in here. [18:44] laters. [19:02] Hi folks :p I'm back! [19:02] and looks like some of you may be too now! [19:03] WACOMalt: i had that error once [19:03] luckily i had an older kernel around [19:03] really? [19:03] oh god that sounds complicated to fix... [19:03] i booted in with an older kernel [19:03] and reinstalled the problematice kernel [19:04] and all was good [19:04] good news is [19:04] this is not ubuntustudio specific [19:04] SO you can find help anywhere [19:04] but, that worked for me [19:05] ok awesome. Now... I dont have an older kernel... [19:06] so how can I go about this? [19:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592062 [19:07] problem is... [19:07] im not sure [19:07] My system doesnt boot [19:07] i never have only one kernel around for long [19:07] its a good idea to have a couple [19:07] IF you get an update to the new one [19:07] which is what happened to me [19:08] i got an update to a recent generic kernel [19:08] i think i booted into a realtime kernel i had as well [19:08] to fix it [19:08] WACOMalt: thats a good question though [19:08] i think you can boot into that recorvery mode [19:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157250 [19:10] anyhow, in this channel [19:10] you need to allow a couple hours or a day for a response [19:10] BUT, that error is general [19:10] and related to the generic kernel [19:11] gotcha. So forums are better probably [19:11] SO you should be able to get that sorted out in another more active channel [19:11] IF the above info doesnt do it for you :) [19:11] the email list is quite active as well [19:12] ok, awesome [19:13] thanks so much! [19:13] good luck :) [19:15] I was able to boot into recovery! [19:17] meaning kernel is fine? just a graphics driver issue maybe? [19:18] booted with failsafe graphics just fine [19:18] WACOMalt: hey [19:18] progress :) [19:18] yus! [19:19] installing graphics drivers [19:19] WACOMalt: did you make a custom xorg.cof? [19:19] conf* [19:19] WACOMalt: OH [19:19] not yet [19:19] yeah, thats a good start [19:19] nvidia can be a pain [19:19] i just use the open one [19:19] i used a knoppix live CD [19:19] I mean failsafe is the full kernel and everything right? So these drivers are likely the issue if I'm booting fine in failsafe graphics? [19:20] I like nvidias graphics. never had an issue [19:20] to generate me an xorg.conf [19:20] and i force the open nvidia drive [19:20] maybe nvu? [19:20] i forget [19:20] its been a while :) [19:20] lol [19:20] well Ima try this first [19:20] WACOMalt1: i think thats a safe assumption === WACOMalt1 is now known as WACOMalt [19:21] and, you should be able to use the nvidia drivers with the generic kernel [19:21] without issue [19:21] i did some tests, and got the nvidia drivers installed on my hardware [19:22] i had some issues with the realtime kernel then [19:22] so i went back to the other one [19:22] theres a patch now though [19:22] what is the realtime kernel? [19:22] my audio rig is on lucid [19:22] that is a new one to me [19:23] WACOMalt: theres not a realtime kernel for maverick right now [19:23] maverick? [19:23] oh dur [19:23] WACOMalt: thats what your running right? [19:23] maverick? [19:23] 10.10? [19:23] yah [19:23] what is the realtime kernel? [19:23] bacically allows lower latency [19:24] for audio recording [19:24] becoming unecessary though [19:24] I need that. Older PC here [19:24] with the progress of the generic kernel [19:24] I use ASIO 4all on my windows side [19:24] and the -lowlatency one [19:24] and of course coreaudio on my OSX side [19:24] WACOMalt: you probably dont *need* it [19:24] if you want to plug a guitar in [19:25] I am planning to do Midi control boards [19:25] those like to haeva lot of lag [19:25] and use ubuntu as a realtime effect processor [19:25] yeah, or that [19:25] WACOMalt: midi triggering [19:25] well, you can come back to lucid if you need it :) [19:25] All I know is on windows It had lag without ASIO and on OSX it had lag without coreaudio [19:25] lol [19:25] probably wont though [19:25] why isnt the realtime kernel on maverick yet? [19:26] pretty sure the -lowlatency one is in the repos [19:26] WACOMalt: theres not a yet [19:26] it wont be there [19:26] ever [19:26] thought that was a big part of studio? [19:26] unless there is a PPA [19:26] and there is one [19:26] ? [19:26] but its not ready yet [19:26] and its challenging work maintaining it [19:26] gotcha [19:26] and like i said, the need for it is becoming less all the time [19:27] well I'll see how this goers [19:27] hope I can find drivers for the USB midi on my yamaha keyboard [19:27] yeah [19:27] check out #opensourcemusicians if you get a chance :) [19:28] WACOMalt: in the future [19:28] you can use a live CD [19:28] and run lspci [19:28] and lsusb [19:28] and test all te hardware [19:28] the* [19:29] you wont be able to install all the ubuntustudio metapackges in ram ;) [19:29] but you can get an idea of hardware support [19:29] okeedoke [19:30] thanks man [19:30] WACOMalt: anytime [19:30] * holstein gotta run... BBL [19:30] Ok, I'm off to install all my provideo apps :P [19:30] cya
