popolonhi13:46
popolonthere is a problem between xfce and french keyboard13:46
popolonI can't use composed (two keys) accents or the compose key in 11.1013:48
popolonI believe I had the same problem with ubuntu 10.10 when I tested xfce and ldxe, the bug was only on xfce13:49
fr-zdoes anyone knows whats the best driver for a 9600 gt nvidia? on thr adicional drivers i see  version 173, version current and experimental 3d support16:22
ravenhi18:49
ravenwhich hardware/settings is necessary to have no xruns on low latency <32ms?18:49
holsteinraven: hmmm... if you are at that setting, i say bump it up more18:50
holsteintil you have none18:50
holsteinanything over 15 is not going to be suitable for live effects or live synth instruments18:50
holsteinso, just go for 80ms18:50
holsteinother than that, you can try a different kernel18:51
holsteini suggest...18:51
ravenholstein, that is my problem - i want to do live things18:51
holsteinhttps://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa18:51
holsteinraven: right, and you cant at 3218:51
holsteinyou need around 1018:51
ravenholstein, difficult right18:51
holsteinso, if you want that, i say you'll need to get some gear18:51
holsteinyou can visit #opensourcemusicians and ask what gear gets what latency18:52
ravenbut which factors cause that at 64 ms too xruns distort recordings at random times?18:52
holsteini can get 1.2ms with my firepod18:52
holsteinthough, i usually run it as like 60ms for stability and speed when mixing18:52
holsteinraven: well, if its an internal sound card, who knows18:53
holsteinit could be *not* software related18:53
holsteinbut just the way that hardware is going to perform18:53
ravenholstein, no its external semi professional18:53
holsteinUSB ?18:53
ravenyes18:53
holsteini dont have good luck with USB18:53
ravenon own port18:53
holsteinyeah18:54
holsteindoesnt seem to matter to me18:54
holsteini have a tascam 122 something that i can get around 5ms stable18:54
holsteinother than that, who knows18:54
holsteinraven: you can look at the irq settings18:54
holsteinand try and get the USB on its own address in the bios if possible18:55
ravenholstein, i have a us144 - and still no drivers......18:55
holsteinsure18:55
ravenbut its an extra soundcard with my mixer18:56
holsteinand tascam wont18:56
holsteinmaybe get the wallet out and get something RME18:56
ravenrme?18:56
holsteinRME supports linux very well19:04
holsteintypically19:04
holsteinhttp://www.rme-audio.de/en_products.php19:05
ravenand expensive.....19:26
holstein?19:31
holsteinit works though19:31
holsteinand typically way better quality19:31
holsteinanyways... im out for a bit... BBL19:31
ravenholstein, no change with the newest rt kernel19:35
Lehthanishello!  Anyone here?20:25
holsteinLehthanis: ?20:49
Lehthanisheya!20:50
LehthanisI got jackd working via terminal...but QjackCtl won't start it.20:50
holsteinyeah, i have a USB device like that20:50
holsteini wouldnt sweat it20:50
LehthanisCannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory20:50
holsteinyou can still use the 'connect' part of qjack if you want20:50
holsteinor, some other connection manager20:51
holsteinchoose your battles20:51
Lehthanisyeah if I run it in the terminal, I can start up QjackCtl and it recognizes it20:51
holsteinif you can get JACK running, i say go for it20:51
holsteinLehthanis: right20:51
holsteinjust do that20:51
holsteinthats what i do20:51
holsteindidnt even think twice about it20:51
Lehthanisheh, I like that...choose your battles20:51
holsteinwell, with that particular hardware, i should say20:51
Lehthanisgotcha.20:52
holsteinwith most everything else, qjack works as expected20:52
LehthanisI do believe this laptop is going to be a learning platform for me...I may end up installing UbuntuSTudio on the church desktop...older hardware, but its got an audigy in it20:52
LehthanisI'll probably have a much less stressful experience20:52
holsteinthe SB's are usually supported, though low-end20:53
holsteini should say, low-end for getting audio *into* the computer20:53
Lehthanisyeah...what's a good "cheapish" option for getting sound into a laptop?20:54
holsteinwell, i have tiers of suggestions20:54
holsteinthese http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx are usually like $30US20:55
holsteinnice clean stereo in with decent latency and good support20:55
holsteinyou pair that with a mixer like http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/802.aspx and you got a rig thats under $100, but clean and versatile20:55
holsteinand you'll always use that mixer for something in the future, if you end up replacing it20:56
holsteinor... something like http://www.samsontech.com/zoom/products/handheld-audio-recorders/h4/20:56
Lehthaniswe already have a yamaha emx 5000-20 mixer ;) so mixing is the easy part20:56
holsteinmore like $30020:56
holsteinbetter preamps20:57
holsteinnice built-in mics20:57
holsteinstand alone mode20:57
holsteinOR, something like what i got which is a presonus firepod20:58
holsteinhttp://www.focusrite.com/products/audio_interfaces/saffire_pro_40/20:58
holsteinreally depends on what you want to do20:58
holsteinhow many channels, and whatever gear you already got20:58
LehthanisI think that UCA202 would be perfect...I take it there's ubuntu drivers for it?20:59
holsteinLehthanis: ?21:01
holsteintheres ALSA drivers that work with it21:01
holsteinubuntu doesnt make drivers21:01
Lehthanisthats what I meant21:01
holsteinthey include whatever is in the kernel21:01
Lehthaniswell, I'm off for dinner...thanks for the help and advice21:03
naptasticHi, I just made the terrible mistake of installing Ubuntu 11.10 and wonder if I can recover more easily by installing Ubuntu Studio or if I should just compile everything myself like I normally do.22:18
naptasticWhat version of Ardour is packaged?22:18
naptasticWhat version of Jackd? How is it configured?22:19
