Are there things I need to do, to make dual core work? I remember in 10.04 on another dual core laptop I was seeing both CPUs. [09:00] der_On: shouldnt [09:00] der_On: install htop and run htop from commandline u will see both cores [09:19] eagles: Only one CPU column in htop [09:19] I have an Intel Core i5-430M [09:19] which is a dual core with hyperthreading [09:19] I will check bios now. [09:24] up [09:24] i5's arent hyper threaded [09:24] i7s are [09:25] i stand corrected they are [09:27] cat /proc/cpuinfo shows me only one processor and only one core for it. :/ [09:29] well lets see bios [10:06] so back again. I've found out what the problem was. I had to enable acpi in grub to get all cores and hyperthreading [10:07] however I'm dual-booting linux and I can only get it to work in one linux, not the other one === frederickjh is now known as frederickjh_away [18:02] Hi everyone [18:03] hi hi [18:03] I've a problem with PulseAudio and Jackd [18:03] I'd like IDJC together with skype, can anyone help me? [18:05] The real problem seems to be redirecting pulseaudio output to jack [18:05] skype doesn't even see jack between output devices [18:15] ineff: let me suggest a few things [18:15] there is a pulse to jack bridge available in a PPA [18:15] from falktx [18:16] but, sharing IDJC via skype is probably not ideal [18:16] i run an icecast server [18:16] and use darkice to stream via JACK [18:17] you should feel free to email skype and let them know you use linux [18:17] and would like to have JACK support [18:17] does it works with any jabber client? [18:18] it? [18:18] darkice? [18:18] no [18:18] its not for that [18:18] its for streaming to the internet from JACK [18:18] also, there is mumble [18:19] mumble is crossplatform [18:19] and the verion falktx maintains has JACK support [18:19] the issue is [18:19] you are trying to mix 2 things together [18:19] that usually do not get mixed together [18:19] i mean, i need to stream a call made via a jabber client, can darkice manage the thing? [18:19] nope [18:20] is there any solution? [18:20] yes [18:20] yeah [18:20] the 2 or 3 i mentioned should do it [18:20] the pulse-jack bridge [18:20] OR mumble [18:20] or just stream the music over an icecast server [18:20] OR... [18:20] run 2 machines [18:21] one with skype and whatever else [18:21] and line out of the JACK machine into it [18:22] i think there is a misuderstanding [18:22] *misunderstanding [18:22] i have to make a call during a live show on a webradio - i want the audience to hear it [18:24] OK [18:25] and you are married to skype then? [18:25] cant use mumble? [18:26] No, I can use it. [18:26] but how does it work? [18:26] ineff: let me send you to #opensourcemusicians [18:26] we run a podshow there [18:26] and use all kinds of different tools [18:26] like the ones i mentioned [18:26] with mumble [18:26] assuming you want JACK support [18:26] you need the verion from falktx's PPA [18:27] mumble needs a server too [18:27] murmur [18:27] and then the other person need the client as well [18:27] and its cross platform and opensource :) [18:27] thats option A [18:27] OR [18:27] if you want to use skype with JACK [18:28] you could use a seperate machine* [18:28] OR [18:28] the new pulse-jack bridge [18:28] that falktx maintains in his PPA for kxstudio [18:28] OR the older method that im not familiar with [18:28] pulse-jack-sink i believe its called [18:29] ok I'll try the pulse-jack bridge [18:29] all of those options have been used and discussed at lenght in the #opensourcemusicians channel [18:30] * holstein BBL... [18:36] Ok I've added the repository of falktx, but it seems that there aren't maverik packages [18:50] ineff: what did you add? [18:50] ineff: you also dont have to add the repo [18:51] you can just search in the repo for the .debs you want [18:51] since there are a *lot* of different packages in there [18:51] yes, but anyway [18:51] *i would suggest the latter [18:51] ineff: what did you add? [18:51] theres a PPA for lucid [18:51] ok [18:51] which says *dericated [18:51] and could it work with maverik? [18:51] and gives links to the new one [18:52] * holstein looking [18:52] ineff: did you update yet? [18:52] I've seen that there're three versions: one for lucid, one for karmic and also one for natty [18:53] but I couldn't find the version for maverick [18:53] ineff: maybe link me to the PPA you used? [18:53] so i know which one you are talking about... [18:54] http://ppa.launchpad.net/falk-t-j/kxstudio/ubuntu/dists/ [18:54] this one [18:55] see https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-team/+archive/ppa/ [18:56] I'll see [18:56] thanks a lot :D [18:57] theres instructions there about pulse-jack [18:57] and falktx is on quite often [18:57] I see [18:57] in #kxstudio or the other channel i mentioned [18:57] or #ubuntustudio-devel [18:59] Cool [18:59] holstein, Thanks a lot! [18:59] I hope this could solve my problem [19:00] Now I've to run. Thanks again. [19:01] ineff: good luck :) [19:01] thanks === frederickjh_away is now known as frederickjh [21:08] is there anything normal ubuntu has that studio doesnt? or does this just have add ons? [21:08] opticx: for all intents and purposes [21:08] ubuntustudio = ubuntu [21:08] has the same repos [21:08] thats what I thought [21:08] BUT [21:08] if you take an ubuntu install [21:09] and an ubuntustudio install [21:09] there are quite a few differences [21:09] of course the theme-ing [21:09] im guessing with drivers? [21:09] look and feel [21:09] opticx: not really [21:09] we have access to the same kernels [21:09] and right now [21:09] My favorite difference is that Ubuntu Studio uses less memory [21:09] this is my first linux install [21:09] ubuntustudio comes with the same -generic kernel [21:10] ok good [21:10] however [21:10] opticx, I recommend Lucid [21:10] til natty [21:10] the normal ubuntustudio does not have the gnome network manager installed [21:10] which can give wifi users a hard time [21:10] ailo: thats in natty though right? [21:11] anyways.. there are other groups of software ubuntustudio has [21:11] holstein, wifi? [21:11] metapackages [21:11] ailo: the gnome network manger [21:11] i was going to use ubuntu on my laptop anyway its just for dev [21:11] opticx: for a laptop, i usually install normal ubuntu [21:11] and add what i want [21:11] lucid? [21:12] IF you're not doing professional audio [21:12] or video editing [21:12] there are a lot of packages that you are not going to take advantage of [21:12] im used to using steinberg and after effects - vegas [21:12] opticx: lucid the the last long term support release [21:12] ubuntu 10.04 [21:12] i may end up using a virtual machine until i get used to the linux tools [21:13] opticx, With Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 you'll find it's easier to tune it for audio [21:13] as opposed to maverick? [21:13] im going to keep using this until i upgrade my machine [21:13] opticx, Maverick works, but it's a little more work to get low latencies [21:14] opticx: this = ? [21:14] all im really doing right now is web dev anyway [21:14] ubuntu studio maverick [21:14] cool :) [21:14] im installed and like it [21:15] opticx, Natty is around the corner too, which will probably be pretty good for audio as well [21:15] i didnt install anything extra though i actually fat fingered the install at options [21:15] but i assume i can add those things [21:15] it needs a confirmation of the add ons [21:16] can i go back and add those? [21:16] when you install and it asks you to mark the packages you want [21:16] opticx, add ons? [21:16] i screwed that up [21:16] All of the packages in Ubuntu Studio are available on a normal Ubuntu as well [21:17] cool [21:17] im happy with it [21:17] You find them using synaptic packager [21:17] yea [21:17] Synaptic Package Manager [21:17] ive had trouble with firefox [21:17] and with flash on chrome [21:17] im using windows version of ff on wine atm [21:18] the linux version false starts [21:18] opticx, Open a terminal and do: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ubuntu-restricted-addons [21:18] Flash is not installed by default but is available in the repo [21:18] ive installed it [21:19] ok [21:19] ubuntu-restricted will add some non-free stuff like mp3 [21:19] unable to locate [21:20] opticx, And chrome is available as chromium-browser if you want to try that instead [21:20] thats what im using [21:20] actually i dont know that its not flash [21:20] err [21:20] let me see what it is [21:21] but anyway, very few problems [21:21] opticx, unable to locate? The two packages are: ubuntu-restricted-extras ubuntu-restricted-addons [21:21] those addons couldnt be found though [21:21] yea [21:21] opticx: open whatever you are comfortalbe with [21:21] synaptic or whatever [21:21] and search ubuntustudio [21:22] E: Unable to locate package unbuntu-restricted [21:22] im comfortable with terminal [21:22] and you'll see the metapackages you missed at install [21:22] opticx: OK [21:22] sudo apt-cache search ubuntustudio [21:22] and you'll see what is available :) [21:22] opticx, Sorry :P. ubuntu-restricted was not the package name, but the two I mentioned above [21:22] nice [21:23] thats helps alot [21:23] now i can install them [21:23] for example [21:23] ubuntustudio-audio [21:23] when im ready i have to work some time today [21:23] and ubuntustudio-audio-plugins [21:23] yea [21:23] those are the ones i use [21:23] jack ardour [21:23] ive got the list [21:23] and plugins [21:23] and found out how to search [21:23] i just dont know many commands [21:24] sudo apt-get install whatever [21:24] if you want [21:24] but ive used ssh and learning git [21:24] BUT [21:24] you can also [21:24] just install what you want [21:24] sudo apt-get install audacity [21:24] or [21:24] sudo apt-get install ardour [21:24] like that [21:24] and end up with just what you want [21:24] hmm [21:25] do any adobe products work ? [21:25] im pretty in love with after effects [21:25] opticx: email them and ask [21:25] ;0 [21:25] lol [21:25] good one [21:25] i was told photoshop was working now [21:25] but i'll never know [21:26] personally [21:26] im going to have to still use a vm with wun7 and xp for some stuff [21:26] *not that theres anything wrong with it [21:26] for a while at least [21:26] opticx: you and check winehq [21:26] see whats working in wine [21:26] or really [21:26] email the vendors [21:26] yea im using wine for what i can [21:26] i think its good to get on the radar at least [21:26] that you are a professional not able to use their product [21:26] what ill do is get a list of stuff I cant use [21:27] and email them all at once [21:27] i get on little vendettas from time to time [21:27] i think any developer that uses a linux server should be using some form of it on their desktop [21:28] thats why i switched mainly, and im tired of windows [21:28] well, i say use the best tool for the job [21:28] and if you're going to be online with the machine [21:28] that pretty much rules out windows [21:28] im not online [21:28] and OSX has its own issue too [21:28] but, computers suck in general i say [21:28] but connecting, being used to using it and how it works [21:29] i just find ubuntu/linux to be the best tool for me [21:29] it seams pretty lean to me [21:29] i can run windows for what i need on top [21:29] finding drivers and keeping up with anti-virus is a drag [21:29] most windows users dont do that [21:30] they just use a machine til it 'breaks' [21:30] lol [21:30] and get a new one [21:30] and thats fine too i suppose [21:30] well i better work [21:30] opticx: o/ [21:30] see you around :) [21:30] enjoy [21:30] clients dont pay me to play with my linux machine [21:31] ill be lurking [21:31] opticx: sure [21:31] hang as long as you like [23:12] <[snake]> ho do I use the mixer in LMMS (the documentation is atrocious) [23:16] <[snake]> wait... I was on the wrong(unofficial) documentation. The real documentation isn't that bad... I found what I needed already. [23:16] <[snake]> I might be back someday.. cheers.
