| len-dt | ailo_, Got any ideas about how the screen saver/blanking should be set up for recording or other audio work? | 00:56 |
|---|---|---|
| len-dt | What is normal practice? | 00:56 |
| len-dt | Is normal practice to expect to see what is on the screen for the whole session? or is a blank screen part way through ok? | 00:57 |
| len-dt | holstein, same question. I am asking both from a performance point of view (does the screen turning off and on affect jack?) and from a workflow view. | 00:59 |
| len-dt | My thought is that with a flat screen there is no "burn in" so why a "screen saver"? | 01:00 |
| len-dt | So this is (for anyone who cares to comment) what do you do? | 01:01 |
| ailo_ | len-dt: I haven't spent any time understanding the screen saver. Hasn't caused me any problems so far | 01:58 |
| len-dt | ailo_, I have had strange things when screen saver stopped started, but that was long time ago now. I have had problems with the nvidia card too, but that is a whole different story. | 02:14 |
| len-dt | The one I was using on the netbook seemed to have a memory leak though. | 02:14 |

| len-dt | I was just wondering from a user view if it was easier to work with a screen that was always live or if there any problem with screen blanking being a distraction. | 02:15 |
| ailo_ | len-dt: It might be a problem if you're using something else than mouse and keyboard to control the machine, while you need to monitor visually | 02:36 |
| ailo_ | But, usually you realize that and just disable the screen saving settings | 02:37 |

| len-dt | ailo_, That was the answer I was looking for... People are so used to screens blanking that it doesn't matter. The only time it does is when using an input device That x doesn't see as an input device. My other thought is that in normal use the mouse or keyboard is getting used more often than the screen time out. | 04:17 |
| len-dt | There is an article here that says all programs leak memory: http://www.alexonlinux.com/swap-vs-no-swap | 04:24 |

| frewsxcv | So I was looking at the website, and it sounds like you guys are putting together a new site? | 06:37 |
| ailo_ | frewsxcv: A new is coming shortly, yes | 07:19 |
| len-dt | astraljava, is xubuntu failing to build these days too? | 19:50 |
| len-dt | Looks like the 1386 version is. | 20:25 |
| astraljava | len-dt: I only see amd64 iso files on there, but good that you mentioned that, I have not seen emails about those builds. I have to ask around how I could get them. | 20:39 |
| len-dt | Ya, I was just asking on xubuntu-devel | 20:40 |
| len-dt | It looks like a different problem all together. Our last image is may18 | 20:41 |
