Cheri703omgbbqwtf: depends on how much shrinking it needs to do06:51
Cheri703lots of factors really06:51
Cheri703shrink = moving things around usually, so can take quite a while06:51
kristian-aalborgit can take forever06:55
kristian-aalborgalso, gparted is not really working on my installation, but it may have been fixed06:55

justinepaula1hello09:02
r4yIs there a channel for jack control? or?10:11
r4yI like to say thank you to holstein but he is not here10:12
head_victimr4y: I can pass on the thanks and if you're talking about the audio solution "jack" then I think you'll find #jack is it :)10:13
r4yHe recommended going to opensourcemusicians for my problem understand Lightsnake a little better10:13
r4yLOL, OK10:13
head_victim:D10:14
head_victimWay to make it hard to find hey :)10:14
r4yI was Googling it but you know how that goes sometimes10:14
head_victimI just did a channel search and found it that way10:15
r4yI should have just tried to join and see if I would be alone10:15
r4yRight10:15
r4yWell with some Networks there are so many channels that Chatzilla takes a while for search results to pop up10:16
r4yThank you10:16
head_victimYou're welcome :)10:17
MrChrisDruifMorning everyone :D I've got a question for a change :P I've got a separate /home partition, but I want to share it between different *buntu's (dual-boot). I mainly want to share the data of the /home (Pictures, Videos etc.): should I convert that /home to a /data?10:18
head_victimOh, holstein is actually in here so by pinging them they should get your thanks when they're next at the computer10:18
r4yHi10:18
MrChrisDruifholstein isn't a member? =-O10:18
head_victimMrChrisDruif: I would have thought as long as they're defined mounts and you were only booting into one at a time there shouldn't be an issue (I'd keep user names the same to make sure) but you could do it the data was as well10:18
MrChrisDruifhead_victim: after reinstalling with the same username (with only one *buntu) I couldn't even load my data :P10:19
r4yAre there any other audio related channels I might want to go to?10:20
r4yI should try alsa to see if that is a channel10:21
r4yIt is10:21
head_victimMrChrisDruif: really, that's weird.10:22
MrChrisDruifI've had this separate /home for a while and reinstalled Ubuntu a few times....when my username is exactly the same as before, I've got no data in my /home (according to Ubuntu)10:24
MrChrisDruifWith some hassle I get it to work, but it's no pick-nick :P10:24

dany1994Hello, I haave a problem installing Ubuntu 10.1011:26
dany1994Hello. I burned the Ubuntu 10.10 ISO to a CD-R, and it autobooted but it failed to locate the custom-installation files "ubuntu/install/custom-installation". Checking the files of the ISO, there is only 1 file that's in the install folder which was "mt86plus".11:26
dany1994I tried to install Ubuntu via Wubi. The installation went fine and the files got written to the selected Drive. It appears all are there.11:26
dany1994When booting Ubuntu to complete the installation, it said it failed to find the installation iso "ubuntu/install/installation.iso". Checking the files of the drive, inside install is infact "installation.iso" so what in earth is going on?11:26
dany1994I was going to request a CD, but then again - if this is happening with two different kinds of Ubuntu installation, I'm convinced it's Ubuntu being poorly made.11:26
dany1994Many many other people have had the latter problem, and nobody has answered them on the forums.11:26
MrChrisDruifHai dany199411:32
MrChrisDruifdany1994: You manually checked the files on the ISO, but did you check the ISO itself? :)11:32
duanedesignhello dany199411:32

MrChrisDruifHai duanedesign :)11:33

r4yWhy does Ubuntu studio have to be a seperate distro15:05
r4ywhy can't it be installable onto ubuntu without becoming ubuntu?15:06
r4ywhy15:06

r4yI bought a usb cable called lightsnake15:07
r4ya year ago15:08
r4yI went to somewhere and someone has been trying to get this thing to work15:08
r4yapparently it is mono as well15:08
r4ynot stereo15:08
bdfhjk2cable for what?15:08
r4yusb to guitar or keyboard cable thingy15:09
bdfhjk2ok15:09
r4ythe keyboard can only be heard when plugging in headphones to the cable15:09
r4ythe guitar can't be heard15:09
r4yso I guess I need an amp to run this through15:09
r4yThere is another option though15:10
r4yI am asking too soon15:10
r4yI should try somethings first and come back another day and ask15:10
bdfhjk2I haven't 'fast answer'15:11
r4yHe said if I use alsa_in and alsa_out for apps it might make my motherboard sound card and the sound cable in the lightsnake cable to work at the same time15:11
r4ybut I was reading this in fear of trying15:12
r4yI will find linky15:12

r4ythere is also this option I haven't tried yet, but I think I have tried it before15:14
r4yhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=925186815:14
r4yQuote from that link:15:15
r4yI did notice that I could plug in the 1/4" to 1/8" cable into my mic jack and record my guitar without any issue at all...so...these Lightsnakes are a joke.15:15
r4yso that is an option15:15
r4yanyways15:15
r4yI want to share this with others so they can think about having ubuntu so that more then one soundcard can be used at the same time15:16
r4ythe problem is though15:16
r4ythese sound cards have different clocks15:17
r4yso there is no way to sinc them15:17
r4yanyways so it is sort of a lost cause I guess15:17
r4yI should try the mic jack I guess15:18
