[00:08] <devtekalpha> I want to make a usb install stick of ubuntustudio. It says i need "about 2gb" will a 2gb ush flash stick be enough? Or should i get a 4gb
[00:08] <devtekalpha> 2gb usb flash*
[00:12] <ailo> devtekalpha: Haven't tried with a 2GB, but it should be enough, since the image is smaller than that
[00:13] <devtekalpha> Ok thanks. Its just annoying it says about 2gb instead of something more specific
[00:13] <ailo> devtekalpha: Check the image size. I think it's under 2GB
[00:14] <devtekalpha> Ok thanks
[00:15] <ailo> devtekalpha: Where does it say 2 GB, btw?
[00:15] <devtekalpha> Ubuntustudio.org/download
[00:16] <ailo> devtekalpha: To my knowledge, the only memory recommendation is for RAM
[00:16] <devtekalpha> Fresh installation: dvd image is about 2gb
[00:16] <devtekalpha> Beneath that
[00:16] <devtekalpha> At bottom
[00:16] <ailo> devtekalpha: Yea, I think the amd64 and i386 are a bit different in size
[00:16] <devtekalpha> I see
[00:17] <devtekalpha> Well my motherboard and processor are intel 64bit. So i want the i386?
[00:18] <devtekalpha> Or amd64 is for 64bit intel systems too...
[00:18] <ailo> devtekalpha: 64 bit. The amd64 is misguiding
[00:18] <devtekalpha> Oh right
[00:19] <ailo> I guess we should put that in the download instructions as well
[00:20] <devtekalpha> You put your own instructions somewhere?
[00:21] <ailo> devtekalpha: No, to ubuntustudio.org/download
[00:21] <ailo> I'm the author of that page
[00:22] <ailo> Will check the sizes of both images, and add a notice about what arch one should choose
[00:22] <devtekalpha> Oh right cool :) good to know i can come here for help from someone who knows stuff
[00:23] <ailo> devtekalpha: The few devs that are actice will be the ones answering most of the time
[00:23] <ailo> active*
[00:23] <ailo> devtekalpha: I recommend #opensourcemusicians if you haven't been there yet
[00:23] <ailo> A bit more active
[00:24] <devtekalpha> Cool. Yeh i know about that room too. Will ask there for audio stuff
[00:25] <devtekalpha> My pc parts come tomorrow hopefully so will probably spend the day trying to put it together  and then installing ubuntustudio
[00:26] <devtekalpha> Will be a relief when its all setup
[00:28] <ailo> devtekalpha: Hope it works out well. Is it going to be for music, or?
[00:29] <devtekalpha> Music production. Android dev and other programming. Movies. Everything but gaming
[03:16] <mighty_aboba> Hi
[03:16] <mighty_aboba> Did you hear about KLANG?
[03:17] <mighty_aboba> http://klang.eudyptula.org/
[03:22] <mighty_aboba> something like CoreAudio
[03:22] <mighty_aboba> or not?
[03:22] <mighty_aboba> :)
[03:23] <mighty_aboba> I hope this will be realized soon
[03:23] <mighty_aboba> I want to try it)
[04:40] <len-dt> mighty_aboba, I think right now it is more dream than anything. There is obviously some thought and research, but there are a lot of things outside the author's reach that would have to happen to make it a reality too.
[04:40] <len-dt> It will be interesting to watch.

[13:46] <Submarine> qmidiarp does not seem to synchronize to Jack transport, is this normal?
[13:47] <Submarine> (it works only with its internal clock, and does not work with Jack transport selected)
[13:52] <len-dt> Submarine, that would seem like a question to ask the developer of the software.
[13:53] <len-dt> I haven't tried that one myself. Might try asking on #opensourcemusicians though

[17:17] <UberMusik_> hi, i'm trying to set up Ardour3b5 in Ubuntu Studio 12.04 .. one of my many challenges in getting this working is that I have two sound cards installed .. and the one i want to use (MAudio 2496 is not listed as my default card) ... it's hard enough to figure out the proper way to route via Jack for Ardour, and it's complicating matters that i have not found an easy way to set my 2496 as the default device every time i log on 
[17:23] <len-dt> UberMusik_, you can do two things. Use card names instead of numbers.
[17:24] <len-dt> running aplay -l shows that device 0 can also be call d66 for example.
[17:24] <len-dt> Or force other cards to load later
[17:25] <len-dt> Which I do... trying to find which file I do it in.
[17:26] <UberMusik_> len-dt: thanks .. as i'm relatively new to the linux/Ubuntu world, which is the most straight-forward?
[17:27] <len-dt> I'm looking :-)
[17:32] <len-dt> Ok, in /etc/modprobe.d
[17:32] <len-dt> there is a file called alsa-base.conf
[17:34] <len-dt> it has to be edited with sudo nano or  gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[17:35] <len-dt> (typed in a terminal)
[17:36] <len-dt> Find out the module used by you other card. lsmod may help there. others probably have a better plan
[17:37] <len-dt> My other card is an es1370
[17:37] <len-dt> So I add the line:
[17:37] <len-dt> options snd-ens1370 index=-2
[17:38] <len-dt> The -2 means delay loading this module till the rest are done.
[17:38] <UberMusik_> len-dt: thanks a ton, i'll give that a shot
[17:38] <len-dt> Most newer systems have an internal HDA card.
[17:39] <UberMusik_> len-dt: .. oh i'm trying to keep alive a 12 year+ Dell .. nothing new in that dinosaur  :-)
[17:39] <len-dt> might be an ac97 then
[17:40] <len-dt> aplay -l gives lots of hints
[17:40] <len-dt> It lists the cards it can find.
[22:54] <killerbobbarker> Is there any benefit to installing ubuntu studio from scratch over installing ubuntu and then upgrading?
[23:02] <GridCube> its faster, and you dont have to delete unity
[23:58] <ailo> killerbobbarker: Installing from scractch means you get realtime privilege set up. Other than that, it doesn't really matter much IMO
[23:59] <ailo> XFCE it pretty fast, performance wise
