paultagwhoh, r00t4rd3d was here as well?02:57
paultagthanks, tsimpson :)02:58
jmej_hmm.. so ardour doesn't see my lv2 plugins ... is this a known issue? path problem... or compiled w/out the correct flags?07:30
jmej_or is there simply no lv2 stuff in ubuntu studio?07:50
jmej_i was under the impression there was because i have lv2core installed according to apt-get...07:50
jmej_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/TaskLV2Inclusion07:51
jmej_that doesn't look good :/07:51
jmej_though i don't totally understand it...07:51
jmej_hmm.. well i found the lv2 plugins on my system.. but ardour doesn't see em :(08:02
jmej_exporting a path variable08:02
jmej_still no love08:02
jmej_anyone have lv2 working in ardour?08:04
ailoardour 3?08:05
jmej_no... are you running ardour 3?08:07
jmej_2.8.2 here08:07
jmej_i'm happy to remove it and install w/ different flags if it's as simple as that08:07
jmej_though if ardour 3 is running well for you over there i supposed i could do that as well08:08
jmej_i figured since it wasn't even alpha it wouldn't be too stable08:08
jmej_but i've never worked with any of pauls bleeding edge releases - so i may be assuming wrong?08:08
ailoBut, you built it yourself?08:10
jmej_no08:10
jmej_installed via ubuntu studio08:10
jmej_i'm a little unclear about the distinction between ubuntu studio packages... and normal ubuntu packages08:10
jmej_but eitherway i didn't build it from source08:10
ailoNo difference. Ubuntustudio has some meta-packages that depend on audio packages in the Ubuntu repo08:11
jmej_so i should be able to get a version of ardour running w/ lv2 support08:11
jmej_possibly even from a repository? (rather than building from source)08:11
jmej_or maybe my version can be massaged into working w/ lv2?08:11
ailoHow do you know your lv2 plugs aren't showing?08:13
ailoWhat version of Ubuntu are you on?08:13
jmej_they're not in the plugin manager08:13
jmej_ubuntu 9.1008:13
ailoSo, if you go into plugin-manager, choose to sort by type, lv2 doesn't show up?08:14
jmej_correct08:14
jmej_but i have calf.lv2 and lv2core.lv2 in /usr/lib/lv208:15
ailoI don't have this problem on Ubuntu Natty. Don't have a Karmic system to try right now.08:15
jmej_so this is unlikely to be an ubuntustudio specific problem?08:16
ailoNo, but Karmic specific08:16
jmej_ah08:16
ailoSince ardour is in Ubuntu's repo08:16
jmej_oh ok.. so it would only be packages that don't show up in the normal ubuntu repo that would be different08:17
ailoYeah08:17
jmej_i wonder if it is just a matter of adding some flags when installing via apt-get08:17
ailoOr, actually Ubuntustudio meta-packages are also in the repo08:17
ailoThe meta-packages depends on a collection of packages08:18
jmej_ah08:18
ailoBut the audio packages themselves aren't Ubuntustudio specific08:18
jmej_ok08:18
ailoAnyway, you might have better luck trying a PPA, if there is one that has ardour for Karmic08:19
jmej_PPA?08:19
jmej_what's a ppa?08:20
ailoIt's an unofficial Ubuntu repo that can be added. Some are personal, some belong to a music distro08:20
ailoIn launchpad08:21
jmej_oh i see08:21
ailoI'm going to check Puredyne's PPA. They have a version for Karmic.08:22
ailoBut they didn't include ardour :(08:22
ailoStill, I don't know what the problem is. Could be you can fix it.08:22
jmej_ah that's too bad08:22
jmej_it's not something silly like needing to do apt-get install ardour +lv208:23
jmej_is it?08:23
ailoI've never heard of that08:23
jmej_ok08:23
jmej_i know with macports there are all sorts of optional package flags08:23
ailoYou could try talking on the ardour forum, Ubuntu forum and #opensroucemusicians08:23
jmej_ok - thanks for your help08:24
jmej_i'll give it a shot08:24
ailoSurely someone know ardour enough to find what the problem is08:24
ailojmej_: There's #ardour too. Maybe that's the first place to look :). Didn't know it was so well used.08:25
jmej_yeah i'll try that08:26
jmej_i've had luck in there before :)08:26
jmej_just thought it might be some ubuntu studio specific weirdness08:26
ailoNo. I mean, it could be that the package in the repo is not built right, but would be best to find that out before replacing it.08:27
jmej_gotcha08:27
persiaThe other alternative is to upgrade to 10.04 or 10.10.  10.04 is probably more stable of the two.09:36

gordonjcphi, I'm having some problems trying to untangle which jack to install in 10.1022:24
gordonjcpif I install libjack-dev it doesn't actually pull in a package with a jackd22:25
gordonjcpjackd2 wants to pull in masses of deps including Qt, for reasons I can't entirely fathom22:26
gordonjcptrying to install jackd and jackd1 both pop up a huge screed of packages they want to install, remove or replace starting with:22:28
gordonjcpThe following packages have unmet dependencies: libjack0: Conflicts: libjack-0.116 which is a virtual package. libjack-jackd2-0: Conflicts: libjack-0.116 which is a virtual package.22:28
holsteingordonjcp: hey22:30
holsteinwhat do you mean my 'to install 10.10 ?22:30
holsteinis this a 10.04 install?22:30
gordonjcpholstein: hi22:30
gordonjcpno, 10.1022:31
gordonjcpmaverick meerkat, apparently22:31
holsteingordonjcp: any PPA's added?22:31
gordonjcpuhm...22:31
gordonjcphow would I tell?22:31
gordonjcpwhat is a PPA?22:31
holsteinthats probably a good indication that you dont ;)22:32
holsteini use 10.0422:32
holsteinwith a PPA added22:32
holsteinhttps://launchpad.net/~falk-t-j/+archive/lucid22:32
holsteingordonjcp: try running in a terminal22:32
holsteinsudo apt-get update22:33
holsteinthen sudo apt-get upgrade22:33
gordonjcpI did that recently22:33
holsteinjust now?22:33
gordonjcpwell, about an hour ago22:33
holsteinin the last 2 minutes?22:33
holsteinOK22:33
holsteinwhat about22:33
holsteinsudo apt-get dist-upgrade?22:33
holsteinwhich shouldnt matter22:33
holsteinif you dont have PPA's added22:34
holsteingordonjcp: fire up synaptic22:34
holsteinand search libjack22:34
holsteinand let me fire up 10.1022:35
gordonjcpeek22:35
gordonjcphuge incomprehensible list22:35
holsteindont do it then22:35
holsteinlet me get in and look too22:35
gordonjcpI don't get on well with GUIs22:35
holsteinOH22:36
paultagIO!22:36
holsteindrill down in the search if you want22:36
holsteinor apt-cache search22:36
holsteinpaultag: o/22:37
paultaghey holstein22:37
holsteinOK22:38
holsteinwhen i upgrade22:38
holsteinwith apt-get22:38
holsteinsays 5 packages are being held back22:38
holsteingordonjcp: let me let this go through22:38
holsteinand i'll see what that is about22:38
holsteinif you have a minute22:38
gordonjcpyup, okay22:39
holsteingordonjcp: this is a 64bit install22:39
holsteinyours 32bit?22:39
gordonjcpyes22:39
holsteinhmmmm22:39
gordonjcpholstein: to give you an idea of the problem, I'm trying to write a set of instructions for setting up and installing some software I wrote under Ubuntu22:42
holsteingordonjcp: cool22:43
holsteinaudio software?22:43
gordonjcpI'm not particularly familiar with Ubuntu, and I don't really like the Debianish way of packaging22:43
gordonjcpyes, kind of, it's a software-defined radio22:43
holsteininteresting22:43
gordonjcpessentially you have some samples coming in, and apply some filtering and magic to them, and you get radio22:44
holsteinand its JACK ready?22:44
gordonjcpyes, it inherently uses jack because all other methods of capturing and playing back audio suck elephants through very fine mesh22:44
* holstein gives gordonjcp a fits-bump22:45
holsteinfist*22:45
gordonjcpsince what I actually want it to do is process a block of samples periodically, and repeatedly, jack is utterly perfect22:45
gordonjcpand, I'm familiar with jack from doing LADSPA/DSSI hackery22:45
gordonjcphttps://github.com/gordonjcp/lysdr/wiki22:45
gordonjcp^ there's the github wiki page22:45
holsteinyou might be interested in #opensourcemusicians22:46
gordonjcpholstein: ooh interesting, yes22:46
holsteinor rather, im sure some folk in that community would like to meet you :)22:46
gordonjcpholstein: I've kind of moved away from softsynths although I do plan to restart development of the nekosynth plugins Real Soon Now22:46
gordonjcpI've moved onto experimental microcontroller-based hybrid synths22:47
gordonjcpthat look like this: http://www.gjcp.net/media/filter.jpg and sound like this: http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/ameniser.ogg22:48
holsteinhehe22:48
holsteinawesome22:48
gordonjcpdrums and bass played on an Arduino Duemilanove and filtered through the board in the pic22:49
holsteingordonjcp: well, im restarting22:51
holstein(kernel update)22:51
holsteinbut im afraid it looks like im not getting that same error22:52
holsteingordonjcp: what are the chances the software you built is calling on those conflicting files?22:52
holsteina PPA is basically a repository by the way22:53
holsteinIF you wanted to make your software easily available to ubuntu users22:53
holsteinthats one way to do it22:53
holsteinmake your own PPA22:53
holsteinand i can add it to my system22:53
gordonjcpholstein: righto22:53
holsteinand apt-get it22:53
gordonjcpholstein: it's just built against jack22:54
gordonjcpI mean it's not trying to do anything really weird22:54
holsteincould be something funky in the 32bit verion i suppose22:54
holsteindid you try any flags with aptitude22:55
holstein-f or whatever22:55
gordonjcpno22:55
holsteini always have to reference the man page22:55
holsteinor google ;)22:55
gordonjcpI'll look into it more tomorrow, it's nearly 2300 here22:55
holsteingordonjcp: good luck22:55
holsteini think that is easy enough to sort out22:56
rlameirogood evening everyone23:53
