* Len-nb needs focus follows mind01:42
ailoLen-nb: I'm still getting the jackdbus bug with latest jackd12:55
ailoEven double checked with the kxstudio version12:55
ailojack_control is fixed, that's all12:55
ailoI don't get the bug as easily, at least as it seems right now12:56
ailoBut I do get it eventually12:56
ailoWhat a dream it is replacing jackd packages with custom ones..13:01
len-dtailo, I think there may be more than one bug with jackd13:02
ailolen-dt: As?13:03
len-dtEven with our version there seems to be two things. 13:03
len-dtqjackctl has dbus fails and so does jack_control, but jack_control most times can be run again to restart jack.13:04
len-dtbut every once in a while jack fails badly and nothing works.13:05
len-dtJackd stops talking to dbus.13:05
len-dtmost of the time jackd just doesn't talk soon enough or forgets to reply or some thing13:06
len-dtqjackctl doesn't seem to recover well for that.13:06
len-dtI don't know if that makes sense13:06
ailoI've been trying to find bug reports about it. So far, there's one in Ubuntu (plus at least one duplicate), and one in Debian13:08
ailoNothing in jack trac, AFAIK13:08
len-dtThere was quite a lot of talk on LAU for a while.13:08
len-dtThat was where the patch came from13:08
len-dtardour3b5 is out13:09
ailolen-dt: You have a link, or remember the date somewhat?13:10
ailoI don't remember reading about it13:10
len-dttry around June 3 look for the thread LAU] [Jack-Devel] jack2 turned verbose13:11
len-dthttp://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2012-June/085239.html13:13
ailoThere was no patch13:17
ailoSeems that they came to the conclusion that the problem is in GCC13:17
ailoI remember reading about it, but had forgotten13:19
ailoThought it was solved, but apparently not yet anyway13:19
len-dtpartially solved...13:19
len-dtI don't know if dbus does realtime that well... jack wants to deal with dbus quickly or at least spend its time dealing with audio most of the time.13:22
len-dtWhat people tend to forget is that even when we aren't doing anything with audio, jack is still dealing with any connected app and all the I/Os. It works just as hard sending silence as noise13:25
ailoI was trying to build jackd2 with gcc-4.6, but didn't work. Seems like libjack at least depends on gcc-4.713:44
ailoSo, that would not work as a simple work around either13:44
ailoIt's unfortunate that such a bug has to exist on a LTS13:44
ailoI've just spent half a day confirming whether the fix to a bug actually was a fix, to find out there was no fix13:46
astraljavaailo: len-dt: Willing to test i386 of Alpha 3? I can do the amd64.13:47
ailoastraljava: I'll be installing the amd64 version shortly13:50
ailoi386 too, a bit later13:50
astraljavaailo: Ok, thanks. I can do the i386 then.13:50
astraljavaA-ha, even better. Thanks. :)13:50
len-dtastraljava, do you have the qa site url handy?14:04
len-dti386 runs and installs fine14:04
len-dtThe new menu items work as planned.14:05
len-dtailo, please check the four top menu items, web browser,  file manager, and terminal.14:06
len-dtI had not thought of them, xfce4.10 may have changed them too.14:07
astraljavalen-dt: iso.qa.ubuntu.com14:12
len-dtgot it.14:13
=== ubuntu-studio is now known as ailo-live
len-dtailo-live, I was mostly checking menu stuff on my test as that is what I changed. I did not look at jack at all15:24
ailo-livelen-dt, Was just trying it a bit15:24
ailo-liveInstalling right now15:24
len-dtailo-live, I am working on per/menu installers right now. About half done. They will go up after a3 testing is done.15:26
astraljavaailo: Have you started testing already?16:30
ailoastraljava: Yes. Just looking at the iso.qa.ubuntu.com site16:30
astraljavaailo: Sweet! Thanks!16:32
ailoastraljava: Oops. Which release is this? I realized I had downloaded the daily build16:33
astraljavaailo: The image to be used is 20120724.116:34
astraljavaThey are dailies, Studio only has one container where builds go.16:35
astraljavaFor milestones, only certain dailies are selected. And daily builds are disabled when a candidate is ready, and enabled again when milestone testing ends.16:35
ailoastraljava: Shouldn't current be the right one, then?16:36
astraljavaI guess you mean should*, and yes. :)16:37
astraljavaailo: So, as soon as you can mark the install results, I'll notify on -release to mark it as ready, and we'll have it included in the milestone announcement.16:38
ailoIt's done for amd6416:38
ailoI'm not installing i386 today16:38
astraljavaRockin'!16:38
astraljavaLen did i386.16:38
ailonautilus doesn't have a menu anymore16:39
ailoI hate big icons16:39
astraljavaThanks guys! Awesome work from you once again!16:40
ailolen-dt: I think I prefer Thunar to Nautilus right now. 16:43
ailoWhat do you think?16:43
ailoThey are basically looking the same, except Nautilus is weird16:43
ailoIt's not like that on Gnome16:43
ailoNo menu makes it hard to do change settings16:44
ailoNah, I found it16:47
Len-nbI don't remember having a problem with nautilus. Nautilus has at least two features thunar does not. It has sftp built in and a file search.17:00
Len-nbailo, ^^17:00
Len-nbailo, holstein interesting, mixxx works just fine on my netbook...17:05
Len-nbjust won't fit on my screen17:08
Len-nbmaybe a video driver problem17:12
ailoLen-nb: I was just having trouble finding preferences in the one button menu17:21
ailoAlso, it was hard to read, cause the theme is buggy17:22
ailoAt first it seemed all the options were only local to the folder17:22
Len-nbYes there are a lot of problems with theme17:22
Len-nbTheme is black box stuff to me though17:22
ailoI think it's just .css type of text17:23
Len-nbTheme was the first thing I mentioned when the first ISO came out17:23
* Len-nb has never learned any css stuff17:24
ailoAnyway, I found it17:25
ailomixxx has been working fine for me too, when I've tried it17:26
ailoI have nvidia drivers17:26
Len-nbI have the free ones17:26
Len-nbThey have issues17:27
ailoLen-nb: You uninstalled the proprietary ones?17:27
ailoThose were installed by default on this install17:27
Len-nbThey were never installed. Any time I have tried I can't get to X17:28
ailoLen-nb: Is that the old card?17:28
Len-nbI have an old card17:28
Len-nbThe MB is at least 8 years old17:29
Len-nbThe video card caps are starting to go... streaks across the screen17:29
ailoLen-nb: Could I bother you for a second?17:58
ailoWhat does 'uname -m' give you on i386?17:58
ailoi386, or perhaps i686?17:59
ailoAlso, would you mind paste bin the kernel config on Quantal. If you updated, you should have /boot/config-3.5.0-6-lowlatency18:00
ailolen-dt: Never mind. Installing..20:01
len-dtailo, sorry, I was finishing up the menu extra install items. On my 12.04 disk.20:06
len-dtThe family is off to the beach now. Be back in some hours... maybe when you wake up?20:06
len-dtI'll boot 12.10 then and report (and test a bit more)20:07
