[15:30] <anaithnid> I am having trouble with bad output from JACK on my iMac using Ubuntu 11.04. Ardour is scratchy and zynaddsubfx outputs a constant horrible buzzing

[18:56] <nictuku__> Hi
[20:21] <HighOctane> I'm trying to get a m-audio firewire solo working with Ubuntu Studio on Natty, but I get no sound. Anyone here have any experience with a Firewire Solo?
[20:27] <holstein> HighOctane: you still using that agere chipset?
[20:28] <holstein> if so, im 99% sure thats going to be the issue
[22:07] <mali_> OMFG
[22:07] <mali_> after ubuntu went natty, I thought ubuntu studio would follow suit so been distrohopping due to unity , G3 etc
[22:07] <mali_> rofl.. turns out this baby is on gnome 2 still?
[22:08] <holstein> mali_: gnome then xfce
[22:08] <holstein> gnome2 is leaving the repos
[22:08] <mali_> FFS
[22:09] <mali_> just as I finally thought 4-5 moinths of distrohopping hell would perhaps be over
[22:09] <holstein> otherwise, we would have probably just left well enough along
[22:09] <holstein> i mean, there has been talk of a gnome2 fork... but, its going away
[22:09] <mali_> I admit, arch is brilliant for a desktop but I also want to run a semi-live server so don't feel so safe on arch tbh
[22:09] <holstein> xfce is quite nice though
[22:09] <holstein> very gnome2 like
[22:10] <mali_> ah I can't say I like ti hat much but
[22:10] <holstein> yeah?
[22:10] <holstein> what about it?
[22:10] <mali_> ye, I run xfce on top of ocmpiz to get the gnome feel
[22:10] <holstein> right... xfce is the most gnome2 like
[22:10] <holstein> if you havent looked at xubntu in a while, its quite slick and polished these days
[22:10] <mali_> but still .. I guess when one has the time as I had up until a monthy or two ago, one can always put on one's own fave panels on top of compiz, arch vanilla is a good choice for this
[22:11] <mali_> I haven't holstein
[22:11] <holstein> anyways, arch or whatever... gnome2 is going away
[22:11] <mali_> crap
[22:11] <mali_> when?
[22:11] <holstein> the gnome3 stuff wont play well with it
[22:11] <holstein> mali_: now
[22:11] <holstein> its dead
[22:11] <holstein> its going away
[22:11] <mali_> he
[22:11] <mali_> fair enough
[22:11] <mali_> seems mint is still hanging on to it as debian no?
[22:12] <holstein> doesnt matter whos 'hanging on to it'
[22:12] <holstein> its jst a matter of time
[22:12] <holstein> the gnome2 and gnome3 stuff doesnt work well together
[22:12] <holstein> so, it could be a custom fork/spin that maintains gnome2
[22:12] <holstein> but, that will likely be a lot of hassle for whatever 6 folks try to do take that on
[22:12] <holstein> so, i would look to the future peronsally
[22:13] <holstein> xfce is great
[22:13] <holstein> and it sounds like you actually havent seen the latest version of it
[22:13] <mali_> as i said, that's a personal preference, I didn't find it great.. than I find lxde more ot my liking :)
[22:13] <holstein> thats what i am planning on running
[22:13] <holstein> and thats what ubuntustudio is going to
[22:13] <mali_> but past months I been doing more custimisation on X distros than producing
[22:14] <holstein> im still running 10.04 personally, and have no plans to move til 12.04
[22:14] <mali_> right, I mnight as well cancel then
[22:14] <holstein> when i will run xfce
[22:14] <holstein> mali_: lubuntu is quite nice too
[22:14] <holstein> lxde is nothing like gnome2 though
[22:14] <holstein> thats why we didnt go with it
[22:14] <holstein> xfce is much closer to gnome2
[22:14] <holstein> and we can set it up to be bascially the same
[22:14] <mali_> ya I will have a look in he future
[22:15] <mali_> has G3 become more hmm customisable by now?
[22:15] <holstein> i have no idea
[22:15] <holstein> i dont use gnome3 or unity
[22:15] <holstein> they answer a question im not answering
[22:15] <holstein> they answer a question im not asking*
[22:16] <mali_> precisely
[22:16] <holstein> i would not mind at all if gnome2 had just stayed around
[22:16] <holstein> but it cant
[22:16] <mali_> I haven't felt so aggrevated on computers for years lol
[22:16] <holstein> aggrevated?
[22:16] <holstein> you dont have to use a computer ;)
[22:17] <holstein> i was a little upset when i read about unity
[22:17] <holstein> then, i warmed up to it
[22:17] <holstein> im glad ubuntu has their own thing now
[22:17] <holstein> but, i was a little frustrated again when i saw how similar gnome3 and unity were
[22:17] <holstein> i feel like its a bit of an unecessary duplication of efforts
[22:17] <holstein> but... again... they have their own thing now
[22:18] <holstein> and thats great for a lot or reasons
[22:18] <holstein> and, im not planning on using either, so it really doesnt effect me
[22:18] <holstein> anyways... im heading out to dinner...
[22:18] <holstein> mali_: you might enjoy #opensourcemusicians
[22:19] <mali_> cheers
[22:19] <mali_> am trying to tell a colleague at work he is paying os much on win platform where he can get os much in ubustudio say
