mazafakaWhen I import (.MP4) video into lives, it saves it into ~/livestmp/weird_number directory, right? So I can then reopen it already divided into frames pointing this directory?19:14
holsteinwhats "lives" ?19:16
holsteini say, try it... it shouldnt break anything.. it'll just work or not19:16
mazafakaL.I.V.E.S19:16
mazafakait takes a time, the importing of the videos to mix sound from one with edited version of another.19:17
holsteinhttp://lives.sourceforge.net/19:17
holsteinfound something on it19:17
holsteinif its taking time, then its likely reading, and pulling in what you want19:17
mazafakaI'll find, but it will be in another era or so...19:17
mazafakait creates frames as separates files19:18
holsteini mean, it really depends on how its set up...19:18
mazafakait's its style19:22
gareth_Hello good people of #ubuntustudio. Does anyone have a moment to answer a question about where the studio controls have disappeared to in the new precise pangolin edition of studio? I want to sort out my Firewire card for realtime shizzles.19:27
mazafakaWhat are 'shizzles'?19:28
holsteingareth_: you shouldnt need that19:29
gareth_um you know I've never thought to ask. I think it's a condencement of "sh*ts and giggles"19:29
holsteinif you need a realtime kernel, you need to use https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa19:29
holsteingareth_: im not following man19:30
holsteini have a firewire device19:30
holsteini start out with the command...19:30
holsteingksudo qjackctl19:30
holsteinwhen that is running stable i then move forward knowing other issues are permissions related19:30
holsteinif you need a lowlatency or realtime kernel, refer to that PPA19:31
holsteinwe do not ship a kernel like that right now, though 12.04 will have it19:31
holsteinif you want to be using 12.04 now, its beta.. i would join #ubuntu+1, and report any bugs offically... you are welcome to join any mailing lists, and/or #ubuntustudio-devel19:32
gareth_although that would be shiggles. Either way it has served only to confuse the question :) ok qjackctl runs without realtime enabled if that is what you mean by stable19:33
holsteinthe RT checkbox should *not* cuase jack to crash now19:33
holsteini would run , like i suggested... gksudo qjackctl19:34
holsteinthis will take the permissions issue out of the equation19:35
holsteinyou wont get true RT with firwire, and the generic kernel19:35
gareth_no it's crashed out on me still when running as root19:35
holsteinor at least that is what my recetnnt testing has proved19:36
holsteinrecent*19:36
holsteingareth_: what you are finding also tells you something19:37
holsteinyou have the machine configured incorrectly19:37
holsteinthe driver support isnt there for your device, or the firwire chip19:37
holsteinyou can try ubuntustudio 12.04 live19:38
holsteinyou can try AVlinux live19:38
gareth_ah ok it's just I hade 10.10 and that was just the generic bog standard ubuntu and qjackctl worked on RT without much work.19:40
gareth_but you're saying there's another version of Studio that I'd have to use to get RT with 12.0419:40
holsteingareth_: nope19:41
holsteinim saying, 12.04 *will* ship with a lowlatency kernel19:41
gareth_but not yet?19:41
holsteinim saying, 10.10 through 11.10 did *not* have the RT kernel19:41
holsteingareth_: 12.04 is in beta19:41
holsteinit has not shipped at all yet19:42
holsteinthat PPA i linked works with the others19:42
holsteinhowever, the need for a realtime kernel is much less important these days19:42
gareth_yeah I know it's beta. And despite the last few incarnations of ubuntu didn't have the RT kernel I could still run qjackctl in RT mode19:44
holsteinyup19:44
holsteinits not mandatory anymore19:44
holsteinbut, you were not getting full RT19:44
holsteinif you look in the jack messages... its just not stopping on that "error" anymore19:45
gareth_ok so what was I getting and is it possible to get the same with the 12.04 beta or will I have to wait for the RT kernel to be shipped with the release when it actually is released?19:46
holsteingareth_: you can try it.. you can even try it live19:47
holsteini cant guarantee anything til its actually released19:47
holsteini have tried the live CD with my firewire gear to test19:47
holsteinyou can do the same :)19:47
gareth_oh wait I think you misunderstand. I've installed 12.04 studio already, done a full clean install as I wanted to go for a studio install rather than the vanilla Ubuntu. I thought I could iron these issues out when they arised19:49
gareth_seeing as I was pretty confident that the firewire support was quite robust now19:50
holsteingareth_: cool.. you can join #ubuntu+119:50
holsteinotherwise, just fire up the device, and troubleshoot the errors19:51
holsteini can only say, again, that my firewire device has tested fine in the 12.04 live environment on my studio rig19:51
holsteini would not expect 12.04 to be stable at all though for a while19:52
