[01:57] <FloatingGoat> so your sayin dont buy the mic?
[01:57] <FloatingGoat> holstein:
[05:32] <Mr__> hi everyone
[05:32] <Mr__> is the ubuntu sounds meta package broken
[05:32] <Mr__> i'm getting
[05:32] <Mr__> ubuntustudio-audio:
[05:32] <Mr__>  Depends: ubuntustudio-generation but it is not going to be installed
[05:32] <Mr__>  Depends: ubuntustudio-recording but it is not going to be installed
[05:41] <Mr__> got it, thx for the fast help
[05:41] <Mr__> lol
[13:54] <holstein> FloatingGoat: think about the 486 machine i was hypothetically talking about
[13:54] <holstein> if i said to you, im going to buy 8 gigs of ram for my 486, or my pentium 3... i mean
[13:54] <holstein> thats kind of what im getting at
[13:54] <holstein> the mic may not be enough
[13:55] <holstein> if i had your rig, i would replace the internal sound card first
[13:55] <holstein> i would get something USB, with at least one channel, that either has a preamp, or can work well with one
[16:49] <vitald> hello, can i get a help here? I have a problem with microphone noise, I have a PC and Xubuntu 12.04.
[17:33] <FloatingGoat> hmm okay
[17:33] <FloatingGoat> how much would that be
[17:33] <FloatingGoat> holstein:
[17:38] <FloatingGoat> PreSonus AudioBox USB
[17:40] <FloatingGoat> or what about that art tube
[20:41] <serfus> how is ubuntu studio translated?
[20:42] <len-dt> serfus, translated means?
[20:44] <len-dt> serfus, Do you mean into different languages?
[20:44] <serfus> i mean, how can one translate ubuntu studio
[20:44] <serfus> yes
[20:44] <serfus> where does it get it's translations from?
[20:44] <len-dt> Ubuntustudio is a colection of programs, so the translation happens one application at a time.
[20:45] <serfus> right
[20:45] <len-dt> Any translations that do happen are done by volunteers.
[20:45] <serfus> does it use the translations to ubuntu from launchpad?
[20:46] <len-dt> The only translation I know of that has been done for the ubuntustudio stuff is french.
[20:47] <len-dt> I hate to say this but I reall don't know.
[20:47] <serfus> but it is basically ubuntu with a customized repository, right?
[20:47] <serfus> hum..
[20:48] <len-dt> Not even that.
[20:48] <serfus> i could not find anything about it with google
[20:48] <serfus> nothing in the wiki or something
[20:48] <len-dt> Ubuntustudio is Ubuntu with a different colection of applications.
[20:48] <serfus> so the same translations should be used
[20:48] <serfus> hum it's a bit odd
[20:50] <len-dt> Some of our menu stuff is a bit different. We follow xubuntu a bit and then add some of our own stuff
[20:50] <len-dt> So if the desktop file for an application has translations in it they will show up.
[20:50] <serfus> oh so it's based on xfce?
[20:50] <len-dt> Yes.
[20:51] <len-dt> have you seen this page? https://help.launchpad.net/Translations
[20:51] <serfus> yeah :)
[20:51] <serfus> i did my share of translations
[20:52] <len-dt> Is there a language you are interested in?
[20:52] <serfus> hebrew
[20:52] <serfus> i'll tell you what bothers me
[20:52] <len-dt> Cool
[20:52] <serfus> ubuntu is translated pretty well
[20:52] <serfus> to hebrew
[20:52] <serfus> but for some reason
[20:52] <serfus> ubuntu studio
[20:52] <serfus> isn't
[20:52] <serfus> the translation really sucks
[20:53] <serfus> and i can't find who did it
[20:53] <len-dt> Which parts of ubuntu studio do you mean?
[20:53] <serfus> or how to fix it
[20:53] <serfus> i'm not sure
[20:53] <serfus> i don't use it myself
[20:53] <serfus> someone from the israeli loco mentioned it
[20:54] <serfus> i didn't know it's based on xfce
[20:54] <serfus> this might be the problem
[20:54] <len-dt> The ubuntu studio team is really very small. None of us are full time.
[20:54] <len-dt> Ya it could be.
[20:54] <serfus> yeah i know how things work with open source :)
[20:54] <len-dt> We moved to xfce because gnome 2 is going away.
[20:55] <serfus> so ubuntu studio uses mainly xfce apps?
[20:55] <len-dt> Unity which is great for what it is, doesn't work well for the audio workflows.
[20:55] <serfus> no need to defend unity :P
[20:55] <len-dt> xfce for the desktop stuff. the audio/video/graphics stuff is none specific.
[20:55] <serfus> just say it sucks :D
[20:56] <len-dt> Unity doesn't work for me, but my wife likes it... go figure.
[20:56] <serfus> i know xfce, it's great. but it isn't translated well, or at all
[20:56] <serfus> haha yeah some people seem to enjoy it
[20:56] <len-dt> Gnome 3 is not there really either and all of them plus kde are CPU heavy
[20:57] <serfus> i can't stand those shell stuff
[20:57] <serfus> i'm on lxde since 12.04
[20:57] <serfus> which is awesome
[20:58] <serfus> even lighter then xfce
[20:58] <len-dt> So xfce seemed to be the most mature thing out there. ldxe is good, but it is not quite complete for us.
[20:59] <serfus> yeah i can understand why xfce is preferable
[20:59] <serfus> rather then lxde
[20:59] <len-dt> We are not ready to do a lot of fiddling with it and some of our devs are part of the xubuntu project too.
[21:00] <len-dt> Anyway, lunch is calling me, ... bye now.
[21:00] <serfus> bye len-dt, thanks for the chat
