[10:06] <sirriffsalot> Hey all, does anyone know how to record phasex with ardour??
[14:10] <eein> good monring
[20:42] <Farmer_> hi, im looking for a way to search for files via a gui....is catfish still the best option for that?
[20:45] <Unit193> While I don't use a GUI for that, pretty much on catfish.  The newer version is much better though.
[20:45] <Farmer_> i was very satisfied with the gnome-search-tool...is it similar to that?
[20:47] <Unit193> Unless it pulls in too many depends, you could just use that.
[20:47] <Farmer_> 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] <Unit193> I actually like locate better.
[20:47] <Farmer_> well, its xfce, not gnome?
[20:48] <Unit193> 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] <Farmer_> ah, i just read it is possible
[20:51] <Unit193> http://ubuntuone.com/13mJncGJKapMaXQVRcaCGx and http://ubuntuone.com/0tr9W1dwUlPAOHwn8JO91P
[20:53] <len-dt> Farmer_, you can also use the search tool in nautilus in 12.04
[20:54] <Farmer_> ah, i see thx
[20:54] <len-dt> The main menu has file manager at the top which open nautilus, then select go from the nautilus menu
[20:56] <Farmer_> len-dt: perfect, thank you all
[20:56] <len-dt> NP
[21:13] <sunz> 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] <ailo> sunz: Don't think Ubuntu Studio devs use vim a lot. Probably related to Xubuntu, or Ubuntu
[21:21] <ailo> You could ask on #xubuntu, #ubuntu (and perhaps double check with a live CD, to compare)
[21:22] <sunz> 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] <sunz> but i have another question, ubuntu-studio is not very popular, is it? am i safe to use it in production environment?
[21:23] <sunz> are there any downsides compared to using plain ubuntu?
[21:24] <ailo> sunz: Ubuntu Studio comes preconfigured to give you settings towards high performance for audio
[21:24] <ailo> And a bunch of other things
[21:24] <ailo> Depends on what you mean with downside
[21:25] <ailo> If you're into multimedia, you'll probably prefer Ubuntu Studio over regular Ubuntu
[21:26] <sunz> 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] <sunz> since this is a LTS release, can be safe to get at least critical bugs fixed?
[21:27] <ailo> sunz: It's the same base as any other Ubuntu derivative. The desktop is more or less derived from Xubuntu
[21:27] <ailo> If you like, you can use any derivative, and install the packages you need separatelyu
[21:28] <ailo> If you don't need low latency with your audio, you don't need linux-lowlatency or realtime privileges set up
[21:28] <ailo> 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] <sunz> ok thx, i like the setup of ubuntu studio very much, except for that vim thing :)
[21:29] <sunz> plus, it took me a ton of time to figure out that i need to enable lcd filtering for proper font rendering
[21:29] <sunz> as for me, it should be enabled by default
[21:30] <ailo> 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] <ailo> I guess Gnome and Unity are best supported, since they are the most popular
[21:31] <sunz> 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] <sunz> now im happe with studio so far
[21:32] <ailo> I had a look at awesome, but felt like Gnome3 already had everything I need
[21:32] <ailo> Unity is a bit strange for me
[21:32] <ailo> XFCE is ok too
[21:33] <sunz> 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] <ailo> 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] <ailo> Just hate to set things up all the time
[21:35] <ailo> On Gnome, there's not much you need to set up, or can even
[21:36] <ailo> 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] <ailo> It's just as good when only using the keyboard
[21:37] <sunz> 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] <ailo> The search is pretty fast for me. But could be it's not the first time, when just logging in
[21:38] <ailo> Lightning fast even
[21:38] <sunz> 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] <ailo> Super key -> nv -> Enter: nvidia-settings, in 1-2 seconds
[21:39] <ailo> Ok :)
[21:39] <sunz> 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] <ailo> There is a program menu available too, that can be added to the upper bar
[21:40] <ailo> Also, inside the shell
[21:40] <ailo> What I do, is I add those to favorites
[21:41] <ailo> I mean, the programs that I don't care to remember what they are called
[21:41] <sunz> 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] <ailo> If I get through setting it up first ;)
[21:41] <sunz> at least in my case, im going back to XFCE :)
[21:42] <sunz> well thank you, i gotta go get some work done
[21:42] <ailo> same here
[22:13] <astraljava> ailo: You'd be really wrong, there. vim is the first tool I install on a new box. :)
[22:35] <ailo> astraljava: Ok :). I should have phrased, I don't know if..
