Ardour is scratchy and zynaddsubfx outputs a constant horrible buzzing [18:56] Hi === orngjce223_ is now known as orngjce223 [20:21] 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] HighOctane: you still using that agere chipset? [20:28] if so, im 99% sure thats going to be the issue [22:07] OMFG [22:07] after ubuntu went natty, I thought ubuntu studio would follow suit so been distrohopping due to unity , G3 etc [22:07] rofl.. turns out this baby is on gnome 2 still? [22:08] mali_: gnome then xfce [22:08] gnome2 is leaving the repos [22:08] FFS [22:09] just as I finally thought 4-5 moinths of distrohopping hell would perhaps be over [22:09] otherwise, we would have probably just left well enough along [22:09] i mean, there has been talk of a gnome2 fork... but, its going away [22:09] 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] xfce is quite nice though [22:09] very gnome2 like [22:10] ah I can't say I like ti hat much but [22:10] yeah? [22:10] what about it? [22:10] ye, I run xfce on top of ocmpiz to get the gnome feel [22:10] right... xfce is the most gnome2 like [22:10] if you havent looked at xubntu in a while, its quite slick and polished these days [22:10] 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] I haven't holstein [22:11] anyways, arch or whatever... gnome2 is going away [22:11] crap [22:11] when? [22:11] the gnome3 stuff wont play well with it [22:11] mali_: now [22:11] its dead [22:11] its going away [22:11] he [22:11] fair enough [22:11] seems mint is still hanging on to it as debian no? [22:12] doesnt matter whos 'hanging on to it' [22:12] its jst a matter of time [22:12] the gnome2 and gnome3 stuff doesnt work well together [22:12] so, it could be a custom fork/spin that maintains gnome2 [22:12] but, that will likely be a lot of hassle for whatever 6 folks try to do take that on [22:12] so, i would look to the future peronsally [22:13] xfce is great [22:13] and it sounds like you actually havent seen the latest version of it [22:13] as i said, that's a personal preference, I didn't find it great.. than I find lxde more ot my liking :) [22:13] thats what i am planning on running [22:13] and thats what ubuntustudio is going to [22:13] but past months I been doing more custimisation on X distros than producing [22:14] im still running 10.04 personally, and have no plans to move til 12.04 [22:14] right, I mnight as well cancel then [22:14] when i will run xfce [22:14] mali_: lubuntu is quite nice too [22:14] lxde is nothing like gnome2 though [22:14] thats why we didnt go with it [22:14] xfce is much closer to gnome2 [22:14] and we can set it up to be bascially the same [22:14] ya I will have a look in he future [22:15] has G3 become more hmm customisable by now? [22:15] i have no idea [22:15] i dont use gnome3 or unity [22:15] they answer a question im not answering [22:15] they answer a question im not asking* [22:16] precisely [22:16] i would not mind at all if gnome2 had just stayed around [22:16] but it cant [22:16] I haven't felt so aggrevated on computers for years lol [22:16] aggrevated? [22:16] you dont have to use a computer ;) [22:17] i was a little upset when i read about unity [22:17] then, i warmed up to it [22:17] im glad ubuntu has their own thing now [22:17] but, i was a little frustrated again when i saw how similar gnome3 and unity were [22:17] i feel like its a bit of an unecessary duplication of efforts [22:17] but... again... they have their own thing now [22:18] and thats great for a lot or reasons [22:18] and, im not planning on using either, so it really doesnt effect me [22:18] anyways... im heading out to dinner... [22:18] mali_: you might enjoy #opensourcemusicians [22:19] cheers [22:19] 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
