| osirisx11 | hi all | 00:40 |
| osirisx11 | i installed studio precise beta and then i installed and started using gnome classic mode, now there is still a bunch of stuff from the other window manager left over, how do i remove that? | 00:41 |
| osirisx11 | hi | 05:00 |
| osirisx11 | i could use some small help with jack and virtual keyboard | 05:00 |
| osirisx11 | i would like my virtual keyboard (and for that matter, other midi devices) to appear in the jack midi tab, but they only appear in also | 05:00 |
| osirisx11 | alsa* | 05:00 |
| osirisx11 | and not all programs support me connecting midi to alsa, i need to do midi to midi on jack on the midi tab, and i can't do that because the device does not appear on the midi tab | 05:01 |
| len-1204 | osirisx11, don't know if you are still there... two ways of seeing alsa midi stuff in jack. | 05:31 |
| osirisx11 | still here | 05:31 |
| len-1204 | using jack, and using a2jmidid | 05:31 |
| len-1204 | if you use qjackctl to start jack, there is a midi driver button on the setup screen | 05:32 |
| len-1204 | if you set that to seq, the alsa midi stuff will show up in jack... | 05:33 |
| len-1204 | There is a problem though, they are not named. Just in sequence. So you have to look through all the alsa midi clients and count down from the top. | 05:34 |
| len-1204 | a2jmidid is started from the command line and imports device names. | 05:35 |
| len-1204 | off hand I don't remember the key combo to get the command line... so I tend to have an xterm open. | 05:36 |
| len-1204 | Jack has to be running before a2jmidid is run and when jack is stopped a2j stops on its own. | 05:37 |
| len-1204 | osirisx11: does that make any sense? | 05:40 |
| osirisx11 | let me read.. | 05:41 |
| len-1204 | Alt f2 gets the run dialog | 05:41 |
| osirisx11 | ctrl-alt-t btw | 05:41 |
| osirisx11 | so i have to use a2j in order for jack to see my midi devices? | 05:42 |
| osirisx11 | :-/ | 05:42 |
| len-1204 | No, you can use the seq setting on jack, its just harder. One hopes jack3 will fix that. | 05:42 |
| osirisx11 | i set it to seq and virtual keyboard still only shows up on alsa tab | 05:44 |
| len-1204 | you should have system in the jack side. if you open that there should be the same number of midi ports as in alsa | 05:44 |
| osirisx11 | system is not in the midi tab | 05:45 |
| len-1204 | Is anything? | 05:45 |
| osirisx11 | no | 05:45 |
| osirisx11 | but vkbd does show in alsa tab | 05:46 |
| osirisx11 | and i can use it fine with programs | 05:46 |
| osirisx11 | well programs that support alsa based midi input | 05:46 |
| len-1204 | did you restart jack? | 05:46 |
| osirisx11 | the server but not the ctl, yes | 05:47 |
| len-1204 | I have system in the midi tab. | 05:47 |
| osirisx11 | nothing here | 05:48 |
| len-1204 | try stopping and starting jack. | 05:48 |
| osirisx11 | i just did that remember? | 05:48 |
| len-1204 | I'm confused... not by what you said but why it doesn't work | 05:49 |
| osirisx11 | i am on ubuntu studio beta "precise" | 05:49 |
| len-1204 | Same here | 05:49 |
| osirisx11 | i only see system in audio tab | 05:49 |
| len-1204 | audio I have system and pulse audio, midi I have system, alsa I have midi through and virt keybd | 05:50 |
| osirisx11 | thanks anyway | 05:53 |
| len-1204 | what happens if you hit alt f2 and type in a2jmidid? | 05:53 |
| osirisx11 | port created: LMMS [132] (playback): Default preset | 05:54 |
| osirisx11 | ALSA-sequencer: unhandled input event 66 | 05:54 |
| osirisx11 | ERROR: a2j_port_create: jack_port_register() failed for 'LMMS [132] (playback): Default preset' | 05:54 |
| osirisx11 | o that worked | 05:55 |
| osirisx11 | ty | 05:56 |
| len-1204 | np | 05:56 |
| osirisx11 | feels hackish though i wish jack did it natively | 05:56 |
| len-1204 | seq is supposed to, but it is a pain even when it works... they are not labelled just numbered 1 n | 05:57 |
| osirisx11 | yep confirmed working, just used something i was unable to before! ty | 05:58 |
| len-1204 | I have seq running now and the virt kybd is called "midi_capture_2" | 05:58 |
| len-1204 | Glad I could help. | 05:59 |
| osirisx11 | after i quit everything jack how do i restore alsa? | 06:28 |
| len-1204 | osirisx11, restore alsa? Alsa should be the same as when you booted. Puslse should go back to normal too. Is there a problem with something not working? | 06:31 |
| len-1204 | puslse should be pulse | 06:32 |
| osirisx11 | len-1204: i have to fiddle with the sound settings | 06:54 |
| osirisx11 | change it to hdmi, change it to analog and back or fiddle with volume or something | 06:54 |
| osirisx11 | and then it works | 06:54 |
| osirisx11 | but before then it just shows dummy audio output | 06:54 |
| osirisx11 | len-1204: ^ | 06:55 |
| len-1204 | which application are you using to change it? | 06:55 |
| osirisx11 | whatever default sound panel | 06:55 |
| osirisx11 | sound settings control panel | 06:55 |
| len-1204 | fromthe icon at the top? | 06:55 |
| osirisx11 | yes | 06:56 |
| len-1204 | that is getting changed to pavcontol | 06:56 |
| osirisx11 | okie | 06:56 |
| osirisx11 | ty | 06:56 |
| osirisx11 | how can i change jack volume when in jack mode? | 06:56 |
| osirisx11 | bc that sound dialog doesnt work at all when in jack | 06:57 |
| osirisx11 | is there a jack mixer? | 06:57 |
| len-1204 | Maybe they already changed it. | 06:57 |
| osirisx11 | well i did go to gnome classic | 06:57 |
| len-1204 | studio doesn't ship it, but synaptic has it. | 06:58 |
| len-1204 | The alsa mixer should still be in the mixer menu too. | 06:58 |
| osirisx11 | ty | 07:00 |
| len-1204 | It is kinda hard to know what someone else is looking at across irc. It's my first time trying to help someone this way :-) | 07:04 |
