=== ScottL_ is now known as ScottL === ailo_ is now known as help [04:44] Hello all! [04:46] Can anyone tell if there is some analogs of guitar pro, transcribe and guitar rig in ubuntustudio, or where can i read about the packages that are included in the distro? [04:49] Hello . . . does Ubuntu Studio have a seperate repository? [04:53] plain-user: hey [04:53] what functionality are you looking for? [04:53] Technicus: the ubuntustudio metapackages are in the main buntu repos [04:53] theres not really an official seperate ubuntustudio repo [04:54] plenty of PPA's [04:54] community PPA's [05:03] holstein: 1) work with guitar pro format and midi files. 2) work with audio formats in a fashion that transcribe! does: play slowly, shift pitch, etc. 3) play electric guitar/or mike up the cabinet and record into pc through my m-audio card. that's pretty much it. [05:03] im not sure what guitar pro is [05:04] you can check winehq though [05:04] see about running it in wine [05:04] holstein: midi based guitar tab editor software. [05:04] plain-user: check out #opensourcemusicians [05:04] theres tuxguitar [05:04] lots of other stuff [05:04] i dont do any of that [05:04] and havent really explored them [05:05] holstein: i'm doing that in my current installation in another distro, i just thought ubuntustudio would be like everything at once and everything handy - isn't it the idea of it? instead of having lots of configs of this and taht through emulators [05:05] but, i see folk discussing them occasionally in that channel [05:05] thank you, i will visit that channel. [05:05] plain-user: sure [05:05] you should ask whoever makes guitar pro to support linux [05:05] and im sure ubuntustudio and other distros will be happ to include it [05:06] holstein: they do, but for a fee)) [05:06] if its something a lot of users would like [05:06] plain-user: theres a linux version? [05:06] they have support but not oss [05:06] interesting [05:07] im sure there is some grey area then [05:07] that will prevent its inclusion by default [05:07] but, feel free and join #ubuntustudio-devel [05:07] and bring it up [05:07] yep, you download a deb package, buy the activation code and play. but that's not good enough - has to be free, so that people can stuff it up with random skins )) [05:08] plain-user: if it can be in the software store [05:08] the ubuntu software store [05:08] i would think that would be a step in the right direction [05:09] holstein: what about other 2 functions - recording live sound and posibly putting on a vst plugin on top of that signal? [05:09] sure [05:09] rakkarack too [05:09] guitarix [05:10] thank you [05:10] JACK is what you will want to read about [05:10] and learn [05:10] after you get JACK running stable [05:10] most other things are much easier [05:11] ok, thanks for the hint, i go and rtm. =) [05:11] plain-user: we'll help you get it started sometime too :) [05:13] plain-user: does guitar pro have jack support? [05:15] not sure [05:15] well, tuxguitar does [05:16] what about watching SAT TV - is that considered as multimedia too? [05:17] obviously, running the dish trhought the card and the pc... [05:17] satelite? [05:17] yes [05:17] for the most part [05:17] ubuntustudio is about creating media [05:18] i would look at mythbuntu for what you are talking about [05:18] so it must have good suport for a variety of weird hardware internals that are aimed at specific task, right? [05:19] it = ? [05:20] ubuntustudio* [05:20] myth thing is probably the right appliance, thanks again for the hint [05:20] ubuntustudio = ubuntu [05:21] mythbuntu = all of that to [05:21] its all the same repos [05:21] same kernels too usually [05:21] for the most part [05:21] its more about the vendors who make the hardware [05:21] and those cable cards are tricky i hear [05:22] =\ [05:22] ok, well, i go and explore some of this new info you gave me. ! [05:22] sure [06:08] any1 know how to install 10.10 from usb? the installer tells me it is unable to mount the disk, which doesn't exist, as i am using USB [06:08] Stryker: hey [06:09] the easy way to do that is to just get the vanilla buntu live disc and check out [06:09] !vanilla [06:09] To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation [06:09] let me find a link though... [06:09] what does it do [06:10] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/697774 [06:10] sounds delicious [06:10] Ubuntu bug 697774 in Ubuntu Studio "cant install ubuntustudio from USB stick" [Undecided,New] [06:10] Stryker: add yourself to that bug if you dont mind [06:10] k [06:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller [06:11] thats the link that talks about how to make the ubuntustudio installer disc work [06:11] with unetbootin [06:11] still, easier to just to vanilla [06:11] and add what you want [06:12] i usually install ubuntustudio-audio and ubuntustudio-audio-plugins [06:12] Stryker: im heading out [06:12] what is vanilla [06:12] vanilla = just plain old ubuntu [06:12] ubuntustudio is ubuntu [06:12] without all the bulk? [06:12] just with some packages added [06:12] and some taken out [06:12] and customized [06:13] how can i get all that is in ubuntu studio? [06:13] Stryker: its all in the repos [06:13] what package(s) [06:13] you just add the metapackages [06:14] ubuntustudio-audio and ubuntustudio-audio-plugins are the ones i use [06:14] mostly only those [06:14] you dont have to do it that way though [06:14] you can just add the packages you want [06:14] okay, i don't care about video, is that all i need to get all the audio stuff [06:14] pretty much [06:14] thks holstein [06:14] Stryker: im heading out for the nite [06:14] check out [06:14] #opensourcemusicians [06:15] if you need more info tonite [06:15] Stryker: enjoy :) [06:16] okay, thx [10:51] yes, you were right, holstein, i need some help getting it started ) [12:01] hello! [12:02] I'm on kernel 2.6.31-11-rt and I'd like help running the rtirq script [12:26] Strayfolk, ailo has expereience with the rtirq script, maybe he can help you [12:28] nice... [12:28] ScottL: I don't need help with it. Just pointed out, it isn't uninstalling. [12:28] When you do apt-get remove rtirq-init it isn't removed [12:28] ailo, Strayfolk asked for help with rtirq script [12:28] Oh, sorry [12:29] :) [12:29] Strayfolk, what's up? [12:29] yes, I downloaded the .sh from http://www.rncbc.org/jack/ [12:29] can't run it... [12:29] What system are you on? [12:30] The rtirq script is a startup job that should be run at bootup. Not as a user. [12:30] I'm on ubuntu studio 10.04 64 bit [12:30] trying out the 2.6.31-11-rt for the first time [12:31] sony vaio f12 + edirol fa66 [12:31] Strayfolk: You have rtirq in the repo. Just install the package rtirq-init [12:31] I've done that [12:31] should I be set? [12:32] It's automatic, so no need to tune it. Are you using firewire? [12:32] what if I've been fiddling with the /etc/default/rtirq manually? [12:32] I am. [12:32] But is Lucid running the juju stack? [12:32] ohci1394 [12:33] What is it you want to adjust in the rtirq? [12:33] I want to make the magic happen :) [12:33] It's already set to do that. No need to adjust it [12:34] The script in /etc/init.d/rtirq will detect your sound devices and add priority to them [12:34] ok [12:34] I'm not sure if you need to have firewire plugged in during startup or not, though. [12:35] Haven't investigated. I use pci cards, so they are always plugged in [12:35] okay! I'll try to reboot with the firewire on. I didn't do that [12:35] bb in 5 [12:40] same amout of xruns [12:40] ... [12:40] I'm never getting this to work [12:40] What's your latency setting? [12:40] I've tried them all [12:41] I just ran 3x128 for testing [12:41] normally I have to use 3x256 for normal use [12:41] and 3x512 for mixing [12:41] but always with random xruns [12:41] regardless of everything [12:42] Could be network-manager is doing that. [12:42] It used to cause problems. [12:42] I don't have network manager [12:42] I use wicd [12:43] even at 3x1024 I get xruns [12:44] and I don't want to work at that latency [12:45] Do you know what is sharing the firewire irq? [12:46] usb and graphics [12:46] since I've tried everything else, I'll try getting an expresscard firewire controller [12:47] Strayfolk: I cant vouch for that the rtirq is working for you, so it would be nice to find that out first, I think [12:47] What firewire chip do you have, btw? [12:47] it's a ricoh something, deemed to work by some [12:48] this is my thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1665701&highlight=vaio+edirol [12:48] how do I check whether the irq prios are in order? [12:50] Strayfolk: Try #opensourcemusicians. I'm know too little about both firewire and rtirq to give you any real help. I've never had any problems myself, so i've had no reason to find out. [12:51] ok, thanks anyway! [12:52] tertl3 probably knows something about rtprio, and the guy who wrote the script is sometimes logged in too. [12:52] now it's working ok for a few seconds @ 3x128... [12:52] let's see for how long :) [12:52] I'm fiddling with jack settings now [12:54] AutoStatic: Do you have experience with -rt firewire and rtirqinit? [12:54] Yes [12:54] AutoStatic, you helped me @ the forumm [12:54] I'm trying the realtime kernel now... I got something going now :) [12:55] I´ m rereading the thread Strayfolk [12:56] Martin Trulan is a knowledgeable user so it's not your FireWire controller [12:56] I'm sort of inclined to think that my system Should work! since now I've been running ardour + renoise for five minutes @ 3x128 without xruns [12:57] Cool! If you do get some xruns every now and then try the Tango Studio real-time kernel [12:57] AutoStatic, on your advice I installed the tango ppa [12:57] and afterwards the rt kernel [12:57] The 2.6.31--11-rt? [12:58] jes [12:58] 2.6.31-11-rt [12:58] Try the one from Tango Studio [12:58] 2.6.33-30-real-time [12:58] Performs better on all my systems [12:58] And significantly better on my notebook and netbook [12:59] The Tango Studio real-time kernel is in the lucid-lowlatency repository [13:00] But if 2.6.31-11-rt works for you, then stick with that one :) [13:00] okay! I can't find it though [13:00] 33-29 I find [13:00] http://tangostudio.tuxfamily.org/en/kernel-rt [13:01] I'll be back for more tweaking later! I'm late for an appointment [13:01] thanks for your help!! [13:01] cu [13:01] Ok :) [13:01] You're welocme [13:01] welcome [14:13] hello [14:16] tertl3: lol [14:16] what do you want ;) [14:16] Hello tertl3! [14:16] AutoStatic: o/ [14:16] :P [14:16] Hello holstein [14:19] tertl3: are you using ubuntustudio? [14:20] no, but I go to ubuntustudio preperation page to get all of the things I need after a fresh install [14:20] cool [14:29] the only reason i dont use the ubuntustudio iso is because I dont use all the extra programs [14:29] but I think I heard ScottL saying he was keeping it up now === peregrinator_six is now known as dial_up_br
