[04:40] <anonop05> hi, i have a problem. you videos lag when opened in fullscreen on ubuntu 11.04
[04:41] <anonop05> youtube*
[04:42] <holstein> anonop05: i think most folk just dont full screen view
[04:42] <holstein> you can try changing video drivers
[04:43] <anonop05> video drivers on ubuntu 11.04 for me are horrible
[04:43] <holstein> you can run 11.10
[04:43] <holstein> im using 10.04
[04:43] <anonop05> 11.10 is very slow on my system
[04:43] <anonop05> 1.6Ghz single core processor
[04:43] <holstein> youve check since beta?
[04:43] <anonop05> yeah
[04:44] <anonop05> installed it too
[04:46] <anonop05> and when you say "change" video drivers, what do you mean?
[04:47] <holstein> assuming you have optional drivers to try
[04:47] <holstein> you can always try the vesa driver
[04:47] <holstein> disable compiz
[04:47] <holstein> enable compiz
[04:47] <holstein> try a proprietary driver, or an open one
[04:49] <anonop05> how do i install vesa drivers?
[04:50] <holstein> the way i do it is with a custom xorg.conf
[04:50] <anonop05> soooo how do i do that? srry for being a total newb
[04:50] <holstein> anonop05: i usually try a knoppix live CD
[04:51] <holstein> copy the xorg.conf from there, and edit it a bit
[04:51] <holstein> specifying the vesa driver
[04:51] <holstein> i mean, if i were you anonop05 , i would either switch hardware, or just tolerate it
[04:51] <holstein> typically, if ubuntu can support hardware, it will
[04:52] <anonop05> thanks for the help
[04:52] <holstein> i would try a few live CD's and make note of the drivers being used
[04:52] <holstein> drivers and kernels
[14:12] <s-fox> Hello.
[14:14] <Sidewinder1> Mornin' s-fox
[14:14] <s-fox> Good evening Sidewinder1 .
[14:14] <s-fox> How are you ?
[14:15] <Sidewinder1> Fine, thanx, and you?
[14:16] <s-fox> I am fine thank you.
[14:18] <Daniel0108> hey, I need jack for ardour, but only alsa works for me. Any suggestions?
[14:20] <Daniel0108> *it doesn't work when I use jack, it just works with alsa-only
[14:20] <holstein> Daniel0108: ?
[14:20] <holstein> pulse suspends, and you will be using alsa with JACK more than likely
[14:21] <holstein> i use the firewire driver now, and i used to use the freebob one
[14:21] <Daniel0108> holstein: Sound works without jack, but when I start jackd, it stops working
[14:21] <holstein> you can see in JACK 'setup' the driver selection
[14:21] <Daniel0108> okay
[14:21] <Daniel0108> I know
[14:21] <Daniel0108> shall I try all the drivers?
[14:21] <holstein> Daniel0108: what device?
[14:21] <holstein> some internal card?
[14:22] <Daniel0108> holstein: yeah
[14:22] <holstein> Daniel0108: what i suggest is, *temporarily* start jack from the terminal
[14:22] <holstein> gksudo qjackctl
[14:22] <Daniel0108> okay
[14:22] <holstein> go to 'setup'
[14:23] <Daniel0108> yes
[14:23] <holstein> frames/period 512
[14:23] <holstein> sample rate 44.1
[14:23] <holstein> 441000
[14:23] <Daniel0108> ok
[14:23] <holstein> periods/buffer 3
[14:24] <Daniel0108> there is no periods/buffer
[14:24] <holstein> Daniel0108: the other settings should be as-is
[14:24] <holstein> Daniel0108: ?
[14:24] <Daniel0108> oh wait
[14:24] <holstein> its under sample rate
[14:24] <Daniel0108> sorry, now I'm on alsa ;)
[14:24] <Daniel0108> I tried something
[14:24] <holstein> the realtime box on the left, is that checked?
[14:24] <Daniel0108> still does not work, I am testing it with "espeak" and it returns: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[14:24] <holstein> Daniel0108: ?
[14:25] <holstein> dont hit start yet
[14:25] <holstein> we are still configuring
[14:25] <Daniel0108> holstein: yes, the realtime box is checked
[14:25] <Daniel0108> oh, sorry
[14:25] <holstein> dont test with espeak
[14:25] <holstein> test with yoshimi
[14:25] <holstein> yoshimi or audacious
[14:25] <holstein> Daniel0108: audacious is easy enough
[14:26] <holstein> BUT, we'll need to get JACK started and running first as root
[14:26] <Daniel0108> okay, the realtime box is checked, holstein
[14:26] <holstein> Daniel0108: you see on the right side...
[14:26] <holstein> interface?
[14:26] <Daniel0108> yes
[14:26] <holstein> is that 'default' ?
[14:26] <Daniel0108> yes
[14:26] <holstein> OK
[14:26] <holstein> driver is alsa
[14:26] <Daniel0108> yes
[14:27] <holstein> did you mess with anything else there?
[14:27] <Daniel0108> not really
[14:27] <holstein> ok
[14:27] <holstein> close setup
[14:27] <holstein> and hit the start button
[14:27] <Daniel0108> ok
[14:27] <holstein> you should see some flashing green lights
[14:27] <holstein> ideally you dont want xruns
[14:27] <holstein> but, you might get a few with that internal card
[14:27] <Daniel0108> okay
[14:28] <holstein> SO, do you have audacious installed?
[14:28] <holstein> VLC has a JACK plugin too...
[14:28] <Daniel0108> I'm installing it
[14:28] <holstein> ok
[14:29] <holstein> you'll need to run it *temporarily* as root too for this test
[14:29] <Daniel0108> I want to use ardour, btw ;)
[14:29] <Daniel0108> okay
[14:29] <holstein> sure... after you get jack running as normal user, ardour will "just work"
[14:29] <Daniel0108> yeah, I know, just wanted to point that out ;)
[14:30] <Daniel0108> okay, opened audacious
[14:30] <holstein> get a file playing in there
[14:30] <holstein> then, go back to the jack window
[14:30] <holstein> hit 'connect'
[14:30] <holstein> you'll see readables and writables
[14:30] <Daniel0108> yeah
[14:30] <holstein> you should see on the right side your cards speaker outputs
[14:31] <holstein> and on the left side, audacious's outputs
[14:31] <Daniel0108> yes, playback_1 and playback_2
[14:31] <Daniel0108> capture_1 and capture_2 on the left side
[14:31] <holstein> you can hit the little plus signs (+)
[14:31] <holstein> Daniel0108: yup, thats your sound cards ins and outs
[14:31] <Daniel0108> no, there are no more plus signs
[14:32] <holstein> Daniel0108: i forget how adacious is, but i think you need to go in and tell it to use JACK
[14:32] <Daniel0108> I pressed the plus sign on "system"
[14:32] <holstein> you'll need to do that for most apps *when* they have JACK support
[14:32] <holstein> when/if
[14:32] <Daniel0108> okay
[14:32] <Daniel0108> done
[14:32] <holstein> Daniel0108: also, you have to have a file playing in audacious for it to present itself to JACK
[14:33] <holstein> then, you come to this 'connect' window, and you should see audacious on the left side with 2 outputs that you can route to playback on the right side
[14:33] <Daniel0108> okay, I changed output to "JACK output plugin", but when I hit the play button now, it doesn't do anything
[14:33] <Daniel0108> holstein: ^
[14:33] <holstein> Daniel0108: you might need to restart audacious
[14:34] <holstein> not jack though
[14:34] <Daniel0108> ERR: bio2jack.c::JACK_OpenDevice(1021) jack server not running?
[14:34] <Daniel0108> holstein: ^
[14:34] <holstein> Daniel0108: where is that error?
[14:34] <Daniel0108> audacious
[14:34] <holstein> you are running gksudo audacious ?
[14:35] <Daniel0108> yes, I restarted it, now when I hit play I get "snd_pcm_hw_params failed: Input/output error."
[14:35] <holstein> well, lets skip this for a minute
[14:36] <holstein> Daniel0108: close audacious
[14:36] <Daniel0108> ok
[14:36] <holstein> Daniel0108: close 'connect'
[14:36] <holstein> hit the stop button
[14:36] <Daniel0108> done
[14:36] <holstein> ^ on JACK
[14:36] <Daniel0108> yeah
[14:36] <holstein> close that, and reopen JACK as normal user
[14:36] <holstein> qjackctl... jack control
[14:36] <holstein> the GUI front end...
[14:37] <holstein> hit start again, and make sure all is well
[14:37] <Daniel0108> yeah, I know
[14:37] <Daniel0108> ahh
[14:37] <Daniel0108> the default user jack was already running
[14:37] <holstein> yeah, sometimes you can have failed attempts somewhere running
[14:37] <holstein> you might want to restart the machine, or poke around in top or whatever and kill all JACK's
[14:38] <Daniel0108> okay
[14:38] <Daniel0108> yeah, it works now :D
[14:38] <Daniel0108> yaaayy
[14:38] <holstein> :)
[14:38] <Daniel0108> now I'll test ardour
[14:38] <holstein> Daniel0108: SO, you have JACK running as normal user? and audacious is playing through it?
[14:38] <Daniel0108> yes
[14:38] <holstein> what about xruns?
[14:38] <holstein> any red #'s in the jack window?
[14:38] <Daniel0108> nope
[14:38] <Daniel0108> no red #'s
[14:38] <holstein> COOL
[14:38] <holstein> Daniel0108: you might get some
[14:38] <holstein> IF you do
[14:39] <Daniel0108> now I'll try ardour
[14:39] <holstein> you relax the settings
[14:39] <holstein> in setup... maybe frames/period 1024 for example instead of 512
[14:39] <holstein> if you dont, thats great :)
[14:39] <Daniel0108> ah, okay
[14:39] <holstein> usually internal sound cards are not latency-friendly
[14:40] <holstein> anyways... ardour'll present all kinds of things to JACK
[14:40] <holstein> each track you make
[14:40] <holstein> busses
[14:40] <Daniel0108> okay
[14:40] <holstein> you can use JACK 'connect' or ardour for the connection
[14:40] <holstein> connections*
[14:40] <holstein> Daniel0108: las over in #ardour is amazingly helpful too :)
[14:41] <Daniel0108> holstein: I just need it to start an application with OSC support ;)
[14:41] <holstein> also, if im not around, #opensourcemusicians
[14:41] <Daniel0108> okay, thank you
[14:41] <holstein> JACK is not rocket science, but its not many steps away ;)
[14:42] <Daniel0108> holstein: I'm not very experienced with audio, lol. I just do coding, coding, coding. thank you :)
[14:42] <holstein> Daniel0108: anytime... its the small niche im experienced with, and im happy to help
[14:44] <Daniel0108> holstein: now I just need to find out how OSC on Ardour works, I got it to listen to a port, but the application needs OSC send and receive ports
[14:44] <holstein> yeah, ardour 3 is improving that a bit AFAIK
[14:44] <Daniel0108> holstein: I have ardour 3 :p
[14:44] <holstein> unfortunately, i havent needed to set that up yet
[14:45] <holstein> are you setting up a control surface?
[14:45] <Daniel0108> holstein: yeah
[14:45] <holstein> COOL :)
[14:45] <holstein> Daniel0108: couple folks in #opensourcemusicians have set that up
[14:45] <Daniel0108> holstein: I am trying to test this application: https://github.com/grmcom/TouchLive
[14:45] <Daniel0108> okay
[14:46] <holstein> one guy set up a bot that we talked to
[14:46] <holstein> !stop !start... whatever
[14:46] <ubot2`> holstein: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[14:46] <holstein> that controlled ardour :)
[14:47] <Daniel0108> cool
[14:47] <holstein> i have more analog gear to get into the box... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1172535/pictures/IMG_20110715_193438.jpg
[14:47] <Daniel0108> wow, cool, holstein
[14:47] <holstein> :)
[14:48] <Daniel0108> I'm usually a CLI dev and don't even do audio, lol
[14:48] <holstein> i wish i had more coding expereince... thats what ubuntustudio really needs
[16:47] <philipballew> whats a good way to record audio right off my sound card
[17:19] <escott> philipballew, arecord is the most basic
[23:37] <Ooberbuntu> Hello
[23:38] <Ooberbuntu> Hello (echo, echo,echo)
[23:38] <Ooberbuntu> Anyone here, (here, here, here)
[23:38] <pleia2> !ask
[23:38] <ubot2`> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[23:38] <pleia2> :)
[23:39] <Ooberbuntu> Ok everyone must be in private mode. I just wanted to know if anyone here could tell me why there are no MD5's or other hash counts on the Ubuntu site.
[23:40] <holstein> Ooberbuntu: what are you looking for?
[23:40] <pleia2> Ooberbuntu: what release are you looking for?
[23:40] <Ooberbuntu> MD5 hashes for the ubuntu downloads
[23:41] <Ooberbuntu> 11.04 i386
[23:41] <holstein> http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/
[23:44] <Ooberbuntu> Thaks a lot. I don't know why there is not link, at least that cound find, to that page on the main Ubuntu download page.
[23:44] <holstein> Ooberbuntu: i think its becuase if you dig a little you can find it
[23:44] <pleia2> I think they want to make the main download page as simple as possible for new users, and terms like "MD5" are unfamiliar and intimidating
[23:44] <holstein> why bother when most folk dont want/need
[23:45] <Ooberbuntu> Thats, why. I lost my shovel.
[23:47] <Ooberbuntu> I know the server seams pretty fast and conectinos seam more stable, more than some other distros that host thier own, and probably don't have as much ploblem with corrupted files either
[23:48] <starcraftman> Ooberbuntu: can always use torrent, checks itself upon completion with most clients. Just an alternative :)
[23:51] <philipballew> what does this guy or girl need?
[23:52] <Ooberbuntu> Just too bad torrents arn't as fast when you want a new os file in 10-12 minutes and are impatient.
[23:52] <philipballew> torrents are faster
[23:55] <Ooberbuntu> Maybe if their set up right (by a veteran pc Zen GOd) but my torrent maching wan't running an old 1100 mhrz amd duron even when i read through all documentation and was o nroad runner getting down speads of 20-30MB7s
[23:56] <Ooberbuntu> maybe utorrent is a bottleneck but I doubt that. I think Time Warner Cable i nNE .Ohio throttles , especially torrents
