[10:06] Hey all, does anyone know how to record phasex with ardour?? [14:10] good monring [20:42] hi, im looking for a way to search for files via a gui....is catfish still the best option for that? [20:45] While I don't use a GUI for that, pretty much on catfish. The newer version is much better though. [20:45] i was very satisfied with the gnome-search-tool...is it similar to that? [20:47] Unless it pulls in too many depends, you could just use that. [20:47] i can use find in a console, but if people not familiar with linux want to search for musik on the weekend, i need something with a gui [20:47] I actually like locate better. [20:47] well, its xfce, not gnome? [20:48] I'm compiling the new catfish so I can take a SS for you. That type of GNome tool shouldn't really matter, unless it's pulling in too many depends. [20:49] ah, i just read it is possible [20:51] http://ubuntuone.com/13mJncGJKapMaXQVRcaCGx and http://ubuntuone.com/0tr9W1dwUlPAOHwn8JO91P [20:53] Farmer_, you can also use the search tool in nautilus in 12.04 [20:54] ah, i see thx [20:54] The main menu has file manager at the top which open nautilus, then select go from the nautilus menu [20:56] len-dt: perfect, thank you all [20:56] NP [21:13] Hello! What is wrong with vim in ubuntu-studio default installation? It does behave somehow weird, some key seem not to do what i expect. Is vim messed up, or am I? [21:21] sunz: Don't think Ubuntu Studio devs use vim a lot. Probably related to Xubuntu, or Ubuntu [21:21] You could ask on #xubuntu, #ubuntu (and perhaps double check with a live CD, to compare) [21:22] ailo, i just found somewhere in forums, they say ubnuts have only a vim-tiny package installed, so i guess i need to install some more, still checking it out [21:23] but i have another question, ubuntu-studio is not very popular, is it? am i safe to use it in production environment? [21:23] are there any downsides compared to using plain ubuntu? [21:24] sunz: Ubuntu Studio comes preconfigured to give you settings towards high performance for audio [21:24] And a bunch of other things [21:24] Depends on what you mean with downside [21:25] If you're into multimedia, you'll probably prefer Ubuntu Studio over regular Ubuntu [21:26] im doing lots of webdevelopment most of the time, but need to go deeper into audio and video, and 3D as well, thats why i thought ubuntu-studio is the right one [21:26] since this is a LTS release, can be safe to get at least critical bugs fixed? [21:27] sunz: It's the same base as any other Ubuntu derivative. The desktop is more or less derived from Xubuntu [21:27] If you like, you can use any derivative, and install the packages you need separatelyu [21:28] If you don't need low latency with your audio, you don't need linux-lowlatency or realtime privileges set up [21:28] sunz: What you could do is install regular Ubuntu (if that is the one you prefer), and install things like ubuntustudio-graphics, ubuntustudio-video on top of it [21:28] ok thx, i like the setup of ubuntu studio very much, except for that vim thing :) [21:29] plus, it took me a ton of time to figure out that i need to enable lcd filtering for proper font rendering [21:29] as for me, it should be enabled by default [21:30] There are some differences between XFCE and Unity/Gnome. All of them uses stuff from Gnome, but you get upsides and downsides with all of them [21:31] I guess Gnome and Unity are best supported, since they are the most popular [21:31] well, i have been using plain ubuntu with unity for last 3 month and i hated it more every day, ended up using awesome wm [21:31] now im happe with studio so far [21:32] I had a look at awesome, but felt like Gnome3 already had everything I need [21:32] Unity is a bit strange for me [21:32] XFCE is ok too [21:33] the awesome part in awesome is its speed, but tiling works not exactly the way i want it, so for now my choice is XFCE, where i use the stickyness of the windows alot [21:35] I find gnome3 pretty fast. It's just enough fast that whatever is slow doesn't bother me. I'm sure awesome is awesome in that regard though [21:35] Just hate to set things up all the time [21:35] On Gnome, there's not much you need to set up, or can even [21:36] When on other WM's, even Mac or Windows, I keep pointing the mouse up towards the left upper corner to bring up all the windows, and work-spaces [21:37] It's just as good when only using the keyboard [21:37] i would use Gnome too, if there was no XFCE, but i dont really like that direction gnome and unity are developing into, i dont want a search box in the menu that searches everything and needs seconds for that [21:38] The search is pretty fast for me. But could be it's not the first time, when just logging in [21:38] Lightning fast even [21:38] as for the vim question, i found out it was running in vi compatible mode, wich is turned off with :set nocp , that did the trick, in case someone is interested [21:38] Super key -> nv -> Enter: nvidia-settings, in 1-2 seconds [21:39] Ok :) [21:39] the problem is, i dont always know what i am looking for, i hate it to stare at the search box trying to remember the name of "that one thing" [21:40] There is a program menu available too, that can be added to the upper bar [21:40] Also, inside the shell [21:40] What I do, is I add those to favorites [21:41] I mean, the programs that I don't care to remember what they are called [21:41] well, there still is the speed issue, i bet if you worked with awesome 2-3 weeks, you would not go back to gnome or unity [21:41] If I get through setting it up first ;) [21:41] at least in my case, im going back to XFCE :) [21:42] well thank you, i gotta go get some work done [21:42] same here [22:13] ailo: You'd be really wrong, there. vim is the first tool I install on a new box. :) [22:35] astraljava: Ok :). I should have phrased, I don't know if..
