orngjce223What I learned today: JACK /hates/ being suspended, qjackctl does not interact well with having a sudo or a gksudo in a startup script (so I have to run that manually), and ALSA loves to latch onto my sound card and /not let go/ until the ports have been pried from its cold dead hands.03:07
orngjce223Other than that, it's flawless.03:09
orngjce223:v03:12
orngjce223But yeah. The last 10%. I like having Pulse funnel into JACK with minimal effort, certainly, the thing is there's so many other components in here that no one piece is the solution.03:12

ubottuUbuntu bug 756254 in qjackctl (Ubuntu) "cannot use "sudo" or "gksudo" in the commands qjackctl runs before starting jackd" [Undecided,New]03:51
orngjce223...Okay, browsing a little bit more, that's not exactly the writing style that other people who write bugs use. I thought "the way I write when I write recipes, so as to minimize confusion", which I suppose is suitable but not suitable /enough/.03:52
ailoorngjce223, Could be killing pulse is what causes qjackctl to crash, because qjackctl suspends pulse03:54
ailoorngjce223, Why are you killing pulse btw?03:55
ailoorngjce223, I didn't realize you meant a startup script in qjackctl (maybe I misread before). I thought you meant like startup script at login03:56
ailoSo, don't think it's sudo or gksudo that affects qjackctl, since the script isn't directly related to qjackctl. It does affect pulse, however03:57
orngjce223Well, see, if I don't kill pulse, the startup script doesn't work just the same, I think it's the sudo.04:04
ailoorngjce223, I'm pretty sure it's not sudo. You could try using sudo for something else just to confimr04:05
ailoorngjce223, Isn't qjackctl suspending pulse, or isn't it doing that because you have a custom launcher?04:05
ailoCan't verify that at the moment04:06
ailosudo won't work unless you are able to give a password in a terminal, so you would need to use gksudo with a couple of arguments04:06
ailoLike: gksudo -kA04:07
orngjce223Hmm.04:08
orngjce223I'll look into gksudo arguments04:08
holsteinyeah, dont suspend with jack orngjce223 :)04:09
orngjce223Haha, yeah.04:09
holsteinJACK is really a use as-needed tool04:09
holsteini say04:09
holsteini had https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qjackctl/+bug/75625404:10
ubottuUbuntu bug 756254 in qjackctl (Ubuntu) "cannot use "sudo" or "gksudo" in the commands qjackctl runs before starting jackd" [Undecided,New]04:10
holsteinon my EEE04:11
holsteinan update seems to have fixed it though04:11
holsteindinner.. BBL04:11
orngjce223Don't get me wrong, jack's cool, but yeah, it's definitely one of those things you don't want on /every/ desktop because it's so optimized for niche purposes.04:13
semitoneshey -- is there a guide to how to use USB keyboards in linux?04:18
semitonesI got jackd, but i'm not sure if it's the right tool04:18
* orngjce223 turns logging on, this might be a useful ansewr04:19
semitoneshehe04:19
semitonesorngjce223, ok here's how you do it04:23
semitonesyou open up JACK04:23
semitonesand click "connect" -- then you find your usb keyboard on the lefthand list04:23
semitonesand the program you want on the right hand list04:23
semitonesselect both and hit connect :D04:23
orngjce223Cool.04:25
semitonesorngjce223, do you remember how to get the low latency kernel?04:26
ailoorngjce223, Did you try: pasuspender -- jackd -bla -bla04:26
ailosemitones, What system are you on?04:26
orngjce223semitones, I believe the package is linux-preempt04:26
semitonesI'm on standard 10.10 64bit right now04:27
semitonesmy keyboard doesn't sound very responsive, so i don't know what else to do except a low latency kernel04:27
ailosemitones, There's no low latency kernels for that release, but it is possible to use a natty kernel, however, I would rather either just use Lucid or Natty instead04:28
semitonesyeah i would probably just use natty :P04:28
ailosemitones, Have you tried adjusting frames/period ?04:29
semitonesailo, no, how would I do that?04:29
ailoDon't know what is the lowest you can use without getting xruns, but if you're lucky, 256 frames/period04:29
ailosemitones, In qjackctl -> Setup04:32
ailoLook for frames/period. Try with 128. If it works, great. Otherwise raise it04:33
ailoIt's part of what decides your latency04:33
ailoYou'll see in the lower part of the setup window, what latency you get04:33
semitonesit was on  \1024, so i'm trying 25604:34
semitonesthis is a little better :)04:34
semitones11.6 msec latency now04:34
ailoThat's not bad04:34
ailoNo xruns?04:34
semitoneswould I know if I had xruns?04:35
orngjce223They would show up in the messages window and/or as the red number to the left of the qjackctl display thing.04:36
ailosemitones, You'll see them in the qjackctl message window, as well as on qjackctl itself. Red numbers showing how many xruns so far. Also, you'll often hear them.04:36
semitoneswell i don't see any yet04:37
ailosemitones, 11 ms is not too bad, and if you can get 128 frames/period you don't need a low latency kernel. May depend on what programs you use, though04:37
semitonesis it safe to try lower frames/period?04:37
semitonesailo, yeah because there still seems to be significant delay with using amSynth04:38
ailosemitones, The only bad thing that can happen is that you hear crackle in the sound, or jack crashes, in which case you just start it again04:38
semitonescool04:38
semitonesso what kind of music do people do here?04:40
ailoAll kinds, I would expect04:40
ailosemitones, Did you check out #opensourcemusicians ?04:40
semitonesheadin there now :P04:40
semitoneswhen natty is released, could I run natty studio from USB04:41
semitoneslike regular ubuntu04:42
semitonesor just convert regular ubuntu to ubuntu studio04:42
ailosemitones, Maybe, but it isn't mean to be. At least you can't have a persistent usb04:42
ailoWe're hoping to have a live DVD for the release after that04:42
semitonesailo, nice :D04:43
semitonesyeah i'd like to just see what the operating system feels like before installing04:43
semitonesand i don't have a dvd drive :)04:43
frigOvuotO_ciao ci sono italiani per ubuntustudio?14:06
ailofrigOvuotO_, Don't think the Ubuntu Studio community is big enough for multiple languages, unless you find someone who speaks Italian. I know there are a couple of people who do.14:23
rayo11hola15:49
holsteino/15:56
frigOvuotO__help me for winasio in the software guitar  rig 4 + jack16:16
holsteinfrigOvuotO__: whats that?16:16
holsteinis that effects for guitar?16:17
holsteinthe offical native tools are guitarix and rakarrack16:17
holsteini use rakarrack for effects on other instruments16:17
frigOvuotO__rakarrack distorsion and volumi troppo alti non prende il suono dalla mia chitarra16:18
holsteinits great, full-featured, well supported, and light-weight :)16:18
holsteinfrigOvuotO__: you need to catch rlameiro16:18
holsteini think he speaks italian16:18
holsteinfrigOvuotO__: you speak spanish?16:18
frigOvuotO__preferisco spanish thanks16:19

frigOvuotO__asp traduco con google16:21
holsteinwinasio :/16:22
holsteinJACK :)16:22
frigOvuotO__hello, anyone has ever installed and configured the libraries winasio.dll, I use guitar rig with four wine and jack .... my problem is that I hear too much distortion and Rumer background amplified the effects themselves ..16:23
frigOvuotO__you know how I can fix?16:23
holsteinmy suggestion would be *not* using winasio16:24
frigOvuotO__non usare? e becouse?16:25
holsteinthe native tools in linux are better16:25
holsteinin linux16:25
holsteinfrigOvuotO__: if you can catch someone over in #kxstudio16:26
holsteinthose guys use a lot of windows apps16:26
holstein*some of them do16:26
frigOvuotO__the effect rig 4 is the best16:26
holsteinfrigOvuotO__: call or email them16:27
holsteinand ask for linux support16:27
frigOvuotO__why linux no have effects the guitar rig 4?16:27
frigOvuotO__i have teamviewer for enter in my computer16:28
holsteini assure you, no one envolved with linux16:29
holsteinis keeping guitar rig from you16:29
holsteinyou can try16:29
holsteinhttp://www.native-instruments.com/en/company/contact-ni/16:29
holstein^ and ask them to make a linux version16:29
holsteinrakarrack seems to work great for me16:30
holsteinbetween that and guitarix16:30
frigOvuotO__http://www.native-instruments.com/en/search/#/?q=linux16:32
frigOvuotO__:)16:32
frigOvuotO__For more information on ALSA drivers, please see here.16:33
frigOvuotO__All Native Instruments ALSA drivers are listed here.     ......the firts o the second??16:33
holsteinhttp://www.native-instruments.com/en/support/compatibility/linux/16:33
holsteincool16:33
holsteinthats nice of them16:34
holsteini think the break down is that you are either trying a product that doesnt have linux support16:34
holsteinor, you are trying to use it with winasio16:34
