| phat4life | does ubuntustudio have unity like 11.10 | 02:02 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | phat4life: ubuntustudio = ubuntu | 02:02 |
| phat4life | crap | 02:02 |
| holstein | so, it has access to the same packages | 02:02 |
| holstein | you can have unity if you want | 02:02 |
| phat4life | i hate unity | 02:02 |
| phat4life | i want to get rid of it lol | 02:02 |
| holstein | we have XFCE by default | 02:02 |
| holstein | you can install XFCE or LXDE | 02:03 |
| holstein | or gnome | 02:03 |
| holstein | or KDE | 02:03 |
| holstein | or whatever... | 02:03 |
| phat4life | i am going to install gnone | 02:03 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 02:03 |
| phat4life | ever since 11.04 i haven't been able to dual screen either | 02:03 |
| holstein | could be driver related | 02:03 |
| phat4life | holstein: alright ill try that | 02:03 |
| phat4life | yeah nvidia | 02:03 |
| phat4life | it worked in older versions fine | 02:04 |
| holstein | im running 10.04 on my dual monitor production machine | 02:04 |
| holstein | 10.04 = LTS | 02:04 |
| holstein | i consider the others to be 'testing' really | 02:04 |
| phat4life | does ubuntu studio use a different kernal than 11.10 | 02:04 |
| holstein | nah, we dont really *need* that so much anymore | 02:05 |
| holstein | we hope to have a -lowlatency option | 02:05 |
| holstein | but, its not really necessary these days | 02:05 |
| phat4life | i really need to be able to use a external monitor. ugh | 02:06 |
| holstein | sure | 02:07 |
| holstein | install 10.04 | 02:07 |
| holstein | gnome2 is there | 02:07 |
| holstein | no unity | 02:07 |
| phat4life | yeah that is what i am thinking of doing | 02:07 |
| phat4life | honestly does anyone really like unity? | 02:08 |
| phat4life | its so hard to use | 02:08 |
| holstein | phat4life: i think so | 02:08 |
| holstein | i dont use it, and its not for me | 02:08 |
| holstein | but ive heard folks like it | 02:08 |
| phat4life | reallt? it feels so backwards | 02:08 |
| holstein | yeah, its not for me | 02:08 |
| phat4life | well really what i am trying to do is start reverse engineering some of the audio software in ubuntu studio | 02:09 |
| holstein | why? | 02:09 |
| holstein | its all opensource | 02:09 |
| phat4life | i mean not reverse engineer, but contribute | 02:09 |
| holstein | i mean, have fun with it, but theres no need to reverse engineer | 02:09 |
| holstein | the source is all there | 02:09 |
| phat4life | figure out how i works is what i mean by reverse engineer | 02:10 |
| holstein | we cant include things by default that are not open | 02:10 |
| holstein | phat4life: O I C | 02:10 |
| holstein | phat4life: welcome | 02:10 |

| phat4life | i they have an irc. | 02:11 |
| holstein | #ardour is a great channel | 02:11 |
| phat4life | *i think | 02:11 |
| holstein | las is the main guy | 02:11 |
| holstein | ardour is his basically | 02:11 |
| phat4life | yeah i really want to dive right into that code | 02:11 |
| holstein | with lots of contributors | 02:12 |
| holstein | phat4life: we can use some coding contributors | 02:12 |
| holstein | we = ubuntustudio | 02:12 |
| phat4life | that is cool. i may have to look into that actually | 02:13 |
| holstein | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel | 02:13 |
| holstein | http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Main_Page is a great project | 02:13 |
| holstein | falktx is the dev there | 02:14 |
| holstein | he's in #kxstudio and #opensourcemusicians | 02:14 |
| holstein | quite a helpful and busy guy in the community | 02:14 |
| phat4life | sweet thx for the links | 02:17 |
| holstein | sure | 02:17 |
| holstein | lots of those guys hang out there | 02:17 |
| holstein | the rakarrack folks | 02:17 |
| holstein | dream studio or whatever its called | 02:17 |
| phat4life | holstein: do you produce? | 02:19 |
| tlm | E: postfix: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 75 | 04:40 |
| tlm | E: bsd-mailx: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 04:40 |
| tlm | E: cardstories: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 04:40 |
| holstein | tlm: did you turn it off during an upgrade? | 04:41 |
| holstein | in synaptic, there a 'fix' option | 04:41 |
| holstein | i would try that first | 04:41 |
| holstein | then, start with an apt tool | 04:41 |
| tlm | holstein during an upgrade? no | 04:42 |
| holstein | tlm: doesnt matter | 04:42 |
| holstein | try 'fix packages' in synaptic | 04:42 |
| holstein | fix broken packages | 04:42 |
| holstein | tlm: you cant have multiple package managers open either | 04:42 |
| tlm | holstein I don | 04:43 |
| tlm | 't | 04:43 |
| holstein | tlm: you dont what? | 04:44 |
| holstein | see 'fix broken packages' ? | 04:44 |
| tlm | holstein have any other package managers open, nothing in the term or anything | 04:44 |
| holstein | tlm: OK | 04:45 |
| tlm | holstein hitting fix broken packages does nothing so far as I can see, I haven't screwed around with Bleachbit or anything | 04:47 |
| holstein | tlm: well, something bad has happened | 04:48 |
| holstein | and i didnt do it ;) | 04:48 |
| tlm | I blame XFCE, friggin rodents... | 04:49 |
| holstein | hehe | 04:49 |
| tlm | installing the Mate PPA, will see if the error pops again | 04:50 |
| holstein | tlm: its bsd-mailx it seems | 04:50 |
| holstein | anyways, you could try removing bsd-mailx and whatever cardstories is | 04:51 |
| holstein | if you've added a lot of PPA's, who konws | 04:51 |
| holstein | you can also ask in #ubuntu-beginners and/or #ubuntu | 04:52 |
| holstein | this is not studio specific | 04:52 |
| holstein | and im about to head out for the evening | 04:52 |
| tlm | nah, this is the first, since I've hated every other desktop other then Gnome2, waited for the PPA instead of building it | 04:53 |
| tlm | holstein Didn't know theres a beginners room? I only know enough to do something stupid then accidentally fix it... Yeah I know, but I've got the worst luck on #ubuntu for getting any reply | 04:56 |
| tlm | even a fsck of | 04:56 |
| holstein | tlm: right, but im leaving | 04:58 |
| holstein | no one else is here | 04:58 |
| tlm | K | 04:58 |
| holstein | so, try the beginners room | 04:58 |
| holstein | #ubuntu-beginners | 04:58 |
| holstein | thats where they'll help | 04:58 |
| holstein | hopefully | 04:58 |
| holstein | i would purge the PPA's | 04:58 |
| holstein | try and get a clean batch op package | 04:58 |
| holstein | s | 04:58 |
| holstein | i would get rid of those 2 there in that error message you linked | 04:59 |
| holstein | that might be enough | 04:59 |
| holstein | anyways... GN :) | 04:59 |
