[03:58] <blaksniper_> gudday
[04:03] <blaksniper_> need some help ctc to anyone
[04:03] <holstein> ctc?
[04:03] <blaksniper_> care to chat
[04:04] <holstein> i can maybe help with your isssue, though i dont have time to chat
[04:04] <holstein> feel free to ask
[04:07] <blaksniper_> ok thank's.just a problem about this ubuntu studio my screen have this white horizontal lines every time i log on
[04:07] <holstein> blaksniper_: i would try safe graphics mode from the live CD
[04:07] <holstein> i would check for and apply all updates
[04:07] <holstein> i would try the generic kernel.. i would try a proprietary graphics driver
[04:08] <holstein> i would alsy confirm that its not hardware related... a bad ribbon cable on a laptop can do that
[04:08] <holstein> also*
[04:08] <blaksniper_> i did try a proprietary graphics driver but still no luck
[04:09] <holstein> blaksniper_: generic kernel?
[04:09] <blaksniper_> i've used ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 before but i got no problem even i install prop.driver
[04:10] <blaksniper_> yup i also tried generic kernel
[04:10] <holstein> blaksniper_: cool.. feel free to insatll 11.04, 11.10, or 10.04
[04:11] <holstein> otherwise, i would try booting into the generic kernel, and maybe put a custom xorg.conf in place forcing the vesa driver
[04:11] <holstein> you can alsy ask in #xubuntu, might get more help with your specific hardware that way
[04:11] <blaksniper_> im thinkin of that as of now.but i really like to use ubuntu studio coz im a lets say beginner in editing
[04:12] <holstein> ubuntustudio is ubuntu, is xubuntu
[04:12] <holstein> i would load up a live CD... try hitting shift... uset he F6 option at the bottom to add "nomodeset"
[04:13] <blaksniper_> if im not mistaken my graphic card is the problem.ive read forums that ati card have a lot of problem
[04:13] <holstein> if that works, then you can create a custom xorg.conf that forces the vesa driver
[04:13] <holstein> blaksniper_: the vesa driver should be just fine
[04:15] <blaksniper_> ok i'll try that one.im just new in ubuntu and suggestion will greatly appreciates
[04:15] <blaksniper_> appreciated
[04:16] <holstein> blaksniper_: if you are new, then using nomodeset from a live CD will give you an idea of how the vesa driver would work
[04:16] <holstein> if its slow/dead in here, you can ask in #xubuntu or #ubuntu even
[04:17] <holstein> blaksniper_: im not trying to kick you out... im just about to crash, and it can get quiet here... hang as long as you can, and someone might be along that can help :)
[04:18] <blaksniper_> sorry but im just taking note of what you said
[04:19] <blaksniper_> i'll try that later on coz i still have job to do.haha
[14:56] <belgianguy> I'm trying to figure out how to detect certain audio events in a (assumed random) input stream
[14:56] <belgianguy> So far, PureData (Pd) seems to be the tool I'll be most likely using, but I don't have much background in signal processing
[14:57] <belgianguy> and most info I come by concerns the synthesis/generation of signals
[14:57] <holstein> belgianguy: lemme refer you to #opensourcemusicians
[14:57] <belgianguy> anyone here who can point me to more 'detecting patterns/events' material?
[14:57] <holstein> there are a few PD folks there, if you can hang for a bit
[14:58] <belgianguy> sure, I'll hang around :)
[14:58] <belgianguy> I'm just a programmer btw, not a musician, but was toying with some ideas
[14:58] <holstein> belgianguy: theres a guy there, [lsd], i usually bother him with all questions i have like that
[14:59] <holstein> he uses ubuntu, and other there do as well, but not exclusively
[14:59] <belgianguy> ah, that's good to know!
[18:53] <jamesmutan> hey
[19:06] <philbo> howdy
[19:06] <jamesmutan> does ubuntu studio really work?
[19:06]  * philbo is installing right now - bafflingly on the machine I'm talking to you on - benefits of a LiveCD installer I guess. ;o)
[19:07] <jamesmutan> :P
[19:07] <jamesmutan> so you haven't tried it yet?
[19:07] <philbo> I'm about to test it with my Focusrite 18i6 interface - I'll keep you posted.
[19:08] <jamesmutan> 0k
[19:08] <philbo> well, when I say "about to" I mean, after it installs and I reboot, etc.
[19:10] <philbo> I'm not confident. Focusrite have done some strange things to keep the cost down on that interface... like there's apparently a DSP chip inside to do hardware mixing of all the inputs but hardly any physical controls on the thin
[19:10] <philbo> g
[19:10] <len-dt> jamesmutan, "really work" means what?
[19:10] <len-dt> It boots on both my machines and does audio work.
[19:10] <jamesmutan> ease of use, productivity
[19:11] <len-dt> That is pretty personal. Personally I like xfce a lot better than unity for audio work.
[19:11] <philbo> jamesmutan: have you tried "regular" ubuntu?
[19:12] <len-dt> productivity would depend on your workflow.
[19:12] <jamesmutan> i've used mint for 2 years now
[19:13] <jamesmutan> but i wanna see if I change to windows for better musical production software
[19:13] <len-dt> I have not used mint. I came here from slackware.
[19:13] <len-dt> In general, the SW available for audio use is the saem whatever distro you use.
[19:14] <jamesmutan> yes
[19:14] <philbo> from what I can tell, it looks as if the UbuntuStudio guys have really streamlined "regular" ubuntu, and picked some great creative software to be pre-installed from the  DVD
[19:14] <len-dt> if there is a linux SW package you would like to use that you can't in mint that would be different
[19:14] <jamesmutan> so there's really no difference :P
[19:14] <len-dt> Tried to.
[19:15] <len-dt> If what is preinstalled works in a more integrated way there is better stuff that way.
[19:15] <philbo> I'm not entirely certain, but they may have picked optimised drivers and modules for audio/video hardware etc.
[19:15] <len-dt> is mint debian based?
[19:16] <philbo> It looks to be very well thought out and put together.
[19:16] <len-dt> I am glad you liked it.
[19:16] <jamesmutan> mint is debian based, yes
[19:17] <len-dt> The available apps will be very much the same then.
[19:17] <len-dt> ubuntu uses debian SW for the most part... just repackaged for lib depends.
[19:18] <len-dt> We do ship with a low latency kernel as stock though.
[19:19] <len-dt> Very good audio performance is available without rolling a kernel.
[19:20] <jamesmutan> well, i'll just dual boot to keep mint, but i'd like to try new software on windows 7
[19:22] <philbo> len-dt: are you a Ubuntu Studio designer?
[19:22] <len-dt> helper maybe...
[19:22] <len-dt> I did do some of the menus in 12.04
[19:22] <philbo> yeah, i wasn't sure what to say... 'employee' didn't sound right. ;o)
[19:23] <len-dt> More money would be helpful, but I am volunteer.
[19:24] <jamesmutan> :o
[19:24] <len-dt> The whole ubuntustudio team is volunteer as far as I know.
[19:24] <philbo> I know what you mean about money - I do think it's wonderful that people can work together on stuff like this because they share a common interest.
[19:24] <len-dt> To be honest, while I would like more money, I can't really say it would improve my life.
[19:25] <philbo> you know, working on stuff for fun - but also making something that others can use and will find amazingly useful
[19:25] <philbo> hold up - yonder installation is complete... I'll reboot and swing by here very shortly
[19:30]  * philbo^ waves
[19:30] <len-dt> Hello, hows the install then
[19:31] <philbo^> well it booted... (good sign!)
[19:31] <len-dt> I figured that much.
[19:31] <philbo^> just gonna plug in my interface
[19:52]  * philbo^ must away
[19:52] <philbo^> but it was good talking to you guys
[19:53] <len-dt> k
[21:56] <tech1> is it necessary to install asio(audio) drivers on ubuntustudio? or are the native drivers already optimized
[22:01] <len-dt> tech1, asio as far as I know is for windows not linux
[22:01] <len-dt> It is possible to use asio inside wine, but not the best way to go.
[22:02] <tech1> i see. thanks. ill just use ubuntustudio's native drivers then and look for upgrades if i ever think i need it
[22:02] <len-dt> Jackd is already a very good audio setup and offers better routing and low latency
[22:02] <tech1> ahh cool
