[01:21] pulseaudio sucks =/ [01:22] hehe [01:22] whats the issue? [01:23] my onboard soundcard Realtek SIS 966: [01:23] without pulseaudio: nice quality sound on playback [01:23] it happens [01:23] with pulseaudio: some little clicks and noise [01:23] better than my via chip [01:23] i open the pulse audio preferences [01:23] does anyone have any _good_ suggestion for new GDM and desktop wallpaper? [01:24] and it dies ;) [01:24] ScottL: studio specific? [01:24] i like the vanilla ones ;) [01:24] holstein, doesn't have to follow an audio theme, no [01:24] might be nice to just 'blue' the vanilla one [01:25] and put ubuntustudio on the loading screen [01:25] holstein, hope with behringer I will not get this clicks [01:25] IF blue is what we are doing now [01:25] holstein, i have had one request, to keep it so that the panels are clearly visible and contrasted against wallpaper [01:25] because... my main objetive is to improve audio quality and record quality [01:25] holstein, so yeah, i'm thinking plain :) [01:25] * virtu also downloading ubuntu 10.10 32bits [01:25] ScottL: i got a nice one on my audio box [01:25] let me see if i can dig it up [01:25] holstein, sweet :) [01:26] i am using ubuntu default Ambiance theme [01:33] ScottL: i cant find it [01:34] http://www.flickr.com/photos/7630391@N04/525284570/ [01:34] has this kind of vibe though [01:34] dark [01:34] prolly darker than what your looking for [01:34] the color goes all the way from the bottom left to the top right [01:35] and the ubuntutsudio logo is subtle [01:35] which, you might not want a logo anyways [01:35] i wanted one [01:35] holstein, your comments are very similar to what i had in mind [01:35] i want people to ask about it when they see my studio [01:35] low contrast colors, with "ubuntu studio" almost embossed on the lower right corner [01:35] ScottL: lighter though? [01:36] well, not many colors actually, maybe a gradient, dark [01:36] COOL [01:36] let me dig this one off of my studio machine real quick... [01:36] i looked long and hard for it [01:36] i don't like busy wallpaper for audio production desktops, and others have voiced the same opinion [01:36] we'll have to figure out where i found it ;) [01:37] and since these are the only opinions being offered, it's what i'll probably go with [01:42] http://holstein.shacknet.nu/scott/ [01:42] ScottL: the name is still there too [01:43] yeah [01:43] http://retimer.ru/2010/03/more-ubuntu-wallpapers/ [01:44] thats where i found it [01:52] holstein, http://retimer.ru/wp-content/gallery/ubuntu/Ubuntu_Metal_Alternative_by_MrElu.jpg [01:53] this isn't really what i had in mind, but i like some elements of it [01:53] it's dark, not too much contrast [01:54] i don't really mind the banner running from left to right [01:54] but the majority of the image is plain, which helps by not distracting from the desktop proper [01:55] i think i will also take troy_s's advice and set up a meeting after we get some ideas and try to get people involved [01:55] this one is cool http://retimer.ru/wp-content/gallery/ubuntu/Hardy_Street_Dogs_by_Azraelthe7thMurderer.png [01:55] ScottL: yeah [01:55] i dropped the ball on the meeting :/ [01:55] holstein, did you every send out an email about the website meeting? [01:55] nope [01:55] LOL, cross post [01:56] i'll do it right now though... [01:56] lets look at a date [01:56] and i'll make it happen [01:56] NOW [01:56] we might push it back a week or so because of thanksgiving [01:56] you think the 30th is too soon? [01:56] tuesday after the holidays? [01:57] thats 8 days notice [01:57] not bad [01:58] that sounds good, you might even mention if someone needs to ask about pushing the meeting back [01:58] im on it [01:58] we should try to accomodate as many people as reasonably possible [01:58] ScottL: i mail to the general list right? [01:58] back [01:58] not the dev one? [01:58] holstein, hell, i've been mailing both just to make sure [01:58] to catch more folk? [01:58] OK [01:59] i'll do that if i can find both addy's [02:07] holstein, ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com and [02:08] ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com [02:09] yeah [02:09] working on the time conversion [02:09] cant get my mind around it ;) [02:09] holstein, i'll try to show you what cory has as the plymouth theme image, it might be good also [02:09] i think i have it [02:09] 23:00 utc [02:09] is 6p for me [02:09] is that 5 for you? [02:09] maybe should be later...? [02:09] i use this to help with time: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=6&day=13&year=2010&hour=19&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 [02:10] just adjust the time and date on the screen [02:10] holstein, unless it is a saturday or sunday then 5pm for me is pretty bad , probably THE worst time :P [02:13] ScottL: 7 good? [02:13] thats 8 for me right? [02:17] there will be a website planning meeting in #ubuntustudio-devel on the freenode network Wednesday, December 1st @ 01:00:00 UTC. [02:17] let me know ASAP if there is a more convenient time. thanks [02:18] AND i have a freenode webchat link [02:18] where you just click and choose a username [02:18] solve a little captcha [02:18] and your dumped into the dev channel [02:30] ScottL: we dont have to have an agenda and all that right/ [02:30] ? [02:39] holstein, 7 is good [02:40] holstein, we don't have to have an agenda published, but i highly recommend at least you and i have one or we probably will not accomplish much [02:40] sure, i just wanted to email one if there was one [02:40] holstein, example of cory's plymouth theme: http://www.fossmusicproject.org/public/images/new-plymouth-theme.png [02:40] yeah [02:40] because i did this with the plymouth-x11 plugin it didn't render correctly however [02:40] i like that :) [02:41] the thing that looks like a water drop on the upper left should be over the ubuntustudio cof [02:41] it rotates around the CoF [02:41] AH [02:41] even better [02:42] it looks pretty snazy, i can send you an email with it and instructions too if you want to try it [02:42] don't feel pressured like you have too though [02:42] i was even thinking....what if we kept the plymouth theme, gdm background, and desktop wallpaper all the same? [02:42] sure [02:43] i acutal like that idea [02:43] actually* [02:44] maybe we get a good turn out [02:44] and we can sound some folk out at the meeting about this too [02:44] anyways, im going to hit send... on that email [02:46] good deal :) [03:09] why is it that I get scratchy playback sometimes with my delta 44 in every linux distro, but never in windows? [03:10] m-audios driver support? [03:10] Kbuzz: is it good with JACK? [03:10] not always [03:10] drag :/ [03:11] I had the same problem in windows, but swtiching to an IDE drive saved the problem [03:11] solved^ [03:11] how hard are you pushing it? [03:11] in JACK? [03:11] I'm playing music in audacious [03:11] so not very hard ;) [03:11] interesting, IDE instead of SATA? === peregrinator_six is now known as Monarquista [03:11] yeah something to do with pci bus [03:11] thats a new one on me [03:12] does any company have good drivers for similar hardware? [03:12] whats the specs on that again? [03:12] well [03:12] a better question [03:12] what do you need? [03:13] channels in? [03:13] preamps? [03:13] channels out? [03:13] 4 in 4 out. thats all [03:13] nah I use a mixer for preamp [03:13] I figured a pci device would be the most stable [03:13] but my m-audio transit worked a lot better [03:13] yeah [03:14] i got one of those [03:14] not bad [03:14] its cool that package got added too [03:14] madfuload or whatever [03:14] there's a package now? [03:14] well, i think it supports other hardware as well [03:14] but yeah [03:15] sudo apt-get install madfuload [03:15] I had to do some funny things to get the transit to work with jacklab a few years back [03:15] and boom [03:15] yeah, me too [03:15] have you looked at the zoomH4? [03:15] i like those [03:15] nice preamps on them [03:15] and the standalone aspect is cool [03:16] that looks amazing, but is beyond what I need [03:16] yeah? [03:16] too pricey? [03:17] I've never had much trouble with m-audio, except for getting pulseaudio to detect the card [03:17] ive heard great things about the 1010lt [03:17] i thought you would be getting the same support though with the 44 [03:17] I have the delta-66 and delta-1010lt [03:17] they work fine? its the same driver I thought [03:17] maybe not [03:18] maybe it was the 66 and 1010 i looked into [03:18] I think the driver is the same for all delta cards [03:18] Same chip, right: ice1712 [03:18] yeah [03:18] Kbuzz: have you really used it for an extended period in windows? [03:19] oh yeah [03:19] hmmm [03:19] interesting... [03:19] Kbuzz: did you update alsa? [03:19] plenty. I've tried just about everything except putting it in a whole new rig. [03:19] which might not be a bad idea at this point [03:20] sure [03:20] could be something strange interfering that might only affect linux [03:20] but you should be able to rock and roll with that rig [03:20] what about IRQ's? [03:20] yeah, but I mean other hardware interfering [03:20] not sure how I might check that [03:20] cat /proc/interrupts [03:21] should be cool though i would think [03:21] since its on a PCI card [03:21] run that while I'm hearing the scatchy sounds? [03:21] Once I had crackle in the speakers, and it turned out it was because of a vacuum cleaner (turned off), near the mics [03:21] haha [03:21] nah, you can just look at it now [03:21] i'll just list the devices [03:21] and where they are assigned [03:21] well I've heard of dirt in the device causing trouble, but it works perfectly in windows on the same machine. [03:21] ailo: hehe, strange [03:22] cool, I'll check it out when I reboot [03:22] The cracle was faint. A guy said it was because of magnets or something. I have no idea [03:24] Kbuzz: do you have any extra pci cards installed, except for the audio device? [03:24] just a video card [03:26] switched video cards twice now and the same problem returns [03:27] I've pretty much given up on solving the problem. I just need to find hardware that is similar and more supported. [03:27] considering you get the same problem with multiple distros makes it seem like it aught to be hardware related. [03:28] Well, I've used m-audio for 8 years or so. Never had much trouble. [03:28] the card is on the Alsa preferred soundcards list, so I'm not sure what might be better [03:30] It should work well, I think. Have yo [03:31] Have you used it on windows after you got problems with Linux? [03:31] yup, go back and forth everyday [03:32] my video card has audio out in the hdmi, might try disabling that somehow [03:33] that doesnt account for JACK though [03:34] doesn't matter if its jack or not. still sounds the same [03:34] no xruns [03:34] or other BS? [03:34] no error messages? [03:35] i bet youve tried all those jack settings too ;) [03:35] the force 16bit and all that [03:35] strange [03:38] should work well on default settings. Recently I used it on P3, 1GHz with latencies down to 5ms [03:39] its gotta be a way that the hardware is getting configured in linux [03:39] somehow [03:39] i would like to see that PCI card in linux on a different motherboard [04:06] oh I get xruns alright [04:07] plenty [04:07] don't think I've ever shutdown without seeing them [04:09] you shouldnt [04:09] i konw pipeman doesnt get them with the 1010 [04:09] ailo: when your running at around 4 ms, do you get any xruns? [04:09] even with 128ms I get them [04:10] i think that supports the IRQ theory [04:10] worth looking into [04:10] I'll try it now [04:10] !reboot [04:15] yeah, just booted up, 12 (70) xruns [04:15] http://pastebin.ca/1999654 [04:16] not sure what to look for there [04:16] im pretty sure 20: 58 3341 53030 IO-APIC-fasteoi ICE1712 [04:16] ^^ thats it [04:16] and its off on its own... [04:17] oh ok [04:17] hmmm [04:18] ill think about it [04:19] :p I know the feeling [04:19] thanks for the advice though. ruled out a few things [04:19] you might want to look in the JACK messages [04:19] and see what's there [04:19] maybe ask in #jack [04:19] or the mailing list over there [21:03] hello, anyboy of you can transform ape+cue files into mp3 files? [21:04] im a regular ubuntu user, but i have this issue [21:04] and seems to be outdated this libraries [21:04] please guys [21:12] I just did a full reload with the newest Ubuntu Studio (X86-64) and all of my wireless adapters no longer function. [21:12] So... i can't do an upgrade. Any hints [21:12] ? [21:14] (heck, for that matter, it may be that _all_ networks are dead. I tried two different wireless adapters (one USB, one PCI) and a Virgin Mobile USB CDMA WLAN and none of them function at all. Help? [21:15] fabio: Does this post shed any light on the problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6818506&postcount=6 [21:20] Zzeiss: But wired network still works? [21:22] Zzeiss: I have little experience with non-working wireless, so I can only suggest going about it at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html [21:55] (actually, there's no wired ethernet (10baseT) within about 50 feet of the machine with no wireless, so I haven't tested that and hope I don't have to.) [22:28] astraljava: The first post doesn't help- the "lshw -C network" command doesn't show +any+ of "claimed, unclaimed, enabled, disabled" for the wireless. It does show "disabled" for the 10baset and that's reasonable as there's nothing plugged into it. [23:36] I'm going to try a different approach... reinstall with NO network card, then add one later.
