[22:13] <everlast21> Hi. I have a question. I was able to triple-boot my iMac with rEFIt for Mac OS X, Windows 7, and Natty Narwhal. My problem is that Ubuntu Studio has a blank screen when it loads up. I can by rote still login, but cannot see what is on the screen.
[22:13] <everlast21> I think that it is a graphics card issue.
[22:14] <everlast21> So, it does boot up, but no picture on my monitor.
[22:14] <orngjce223> You may want to try #ubuntu for that question?
[22:14] <everlast21> So, what can I do about my problem?
[22:14] <everlast21> OK. Thanks.
[22:15] <everlast21> I will do that.
[23:36] <ParadoxGuitarist> Hey everyone! Quick question: Do you all have an open source sampler you use to play software instruments?
[23:49] <ParadoxGuitarist> I see a lot of modeling synth stuff but no software samplers.
[23:49] <ailo> ParadoxGuitarist, There's Linux Sampler, but it isn't totally free, which is why you need to compile it yourself
[23:50] <ParadoxGuitarist> Thanks ailo, that's too bad that it's not free...
[23:50] <ailo> It's free as in you don't need to pay for it, but it's non-free in that you can't include it where ever you want. You can use it for any artistic creation though
[23:51] <ailo> They have an exception making it impossible to use it for hardware samplers, or that's what I imagine at least
[23:52] <ParadoxGuitarist> hmmm
[23:52] <ParadoxGuitarist> I wonder if I write them a REALLY nice letter they'd let me compile it for a distro
[23:53] <ailo> Their site seems to be down
[23:53] <ailo> It's not hard to compile. All you need to compile is the actual server: linux sampler
[23:53] <ParadoxGuitarist> I found it on a german server
[23:53] <ParadoxGuitarist> =P
[23:53] <ailo> There's gui programs for it available: qsampler and gigedit
[23:54] <ailo> jsampler too, if I got the name right
[23:54] <ParadoxGuitarist> But also I don't have jack midi drivers installed atm.
[23:54] <ailo> It's a gig based sampler originally. It now also handles another format
[23:54] <ParadoxGuitarist> For what I want to use it for I might be talking to some other people about making a front end.
[23:55] <ailo> I suppose that should not be too hard
[23:56] <ParadoxGuitarist> http://linux-sound.org/images/blog/full-size/3-linuxsampler-10.png
[23:56] <ailo> As long as you don't include the linux sampler in a commercial distro, I think you're all right. That's the picture I've got anyway
[23:56] <ParadoxGuitarist> hmmm
[23:56] <ParadoxGuitarist> Thanks ailo!
[23:57] <ailo> Other things to try is Hydrogen, which is best for drums
[23:58] <ParadoxGuitarist> Yeah I've seen that in some package lists.
[23:58] <ailo> The front ends for Linux sampler are available, so those you don't need to compile
[23:59] <ParadoxGuitarist> I'd like to make a front end that would incorporate multiple programs including plugins
[23:59] <ailo> There's no need to
[23:59] <ailo> Since jack makes it possible for you to connect any jack software to any other jack software
