* smartboyhw finds the channel log yesterday a bit too long:P08:14
smartboyhwTo read:P08:18
ttoinehi all10:26
ttoinefalktx_: are you here ?10:26
falktx_ttoine: yes10:27
ttoinegreat10:28
falktx_ttoine: what's up?10:28
ttoinefalktx_: Just would like to know if the jackd2 is multi cpu ?10:28
falktx_kind of10:28
falktx_is more muti-core than jack1 for sure10:28
falktx_the processing is still done in a single thread, but non-processing stuff is done on a separate one10:29
ttoinefalktx_: starting one new business, maybe two. take a lot of time, but I try to do my best to continue to test audio for Ubuntu Studio10:29
falktx_jack1 does everything on the same thread, that's why you sometimes ear clicks when connecting ports with jack110:29
ttoinefalktx_: ok. is there a difference between jackdsmp and jackd2 ?10:30
falktx_no, jackdmp is just the old name10:30
falktx_very old name actually10:30
ttoinefalktx_: and you, what's up ?10:30
ttoineok10:30
falktx_I'm fine, I guess10:30
falktx_working on a all-in-one plugin toolkit now...10:30
ttoinefalktx_: tell me more ;-)10:31
falktx_I'm not sure if I'll do anything useful with it, so I'm not showing off anything yet10:31
falktx_to don't get any hopes up10:31
ttoineby the way, adding your repos from kxstudio to ubuntu add a lot of stuff. some audio plugin needs some fixing10:32
falktx_please do tell, which one?10:32
ttoinebut it is possible to do good work10:32
ttoinewait a second, it is not on the same workstation10:32
ttoinefalktx_: the serie of nedko arnaudov10:46
ttoinethe rotary button are bugged10:46
ttoineit is not possible to set the plugin10:46
ttoine But if I had a bit of money I would buy the Linux DSP collection and drop the amateur plugin, I think10:48
falktx_hm, are you sure it's broken?10:53
falktx_maybe isn't just not working the way you suppose it is ?10:53
ttoinefalktx_: if I use the mouse to "turn" a button, the button don't work the way it should11:00
falktx_ah, the infame mouse event11:01
ttoineso it is not possible to use this plugin11:01
falktx_wait, I though you were refrerring to mouse wheel11:01
falktx_to use that plugin you first need to activate the filters11:01
ttoinesome other LV2 plugins crash Ardour. It take a lot of time to test them all, but I will do my best to test them all11:02
falktx_activate master first, then the sub-filters, then move the knobs11:02
falktx_ttoine: there's no point on testing all plugins. I know some are broke, that's just how it is11:02
falktx_we can't control or force developers to fix their apps/plugins11:02
falktx_some just give up on coding them for some reason...11:03
ttoinefalktx_: but where could we report that they are broken ? I mean that if we know that they are broken, you could put them in an other repo (like bleeding edge)11:03
ttoinebecause it is very very annoying to crash an ardour session...11:04
falktx_well, I tried to contact the authors of some broken plugins, no replies11:04
falktx_and nedko gave up on lv2 coding now11:04
falktx_ttoine: if you know which one causes a crash, please let me know11:04
falktx_I can at least not install it by default11:05
ttoinevia irc ?11:05
falktx_and put it into the broken repo11:05
falktx_ttoine: sure, or email11:05
falktx_falktx /at/ falktx.com11:05
ttoinefalktx_: ok11:06
falktx_not that I'm really counting on it, but the message is sent :)11:06
ttoineFor the video edition, I hope that Lightwork will soon be released for Linux. It will solve the mess with Open Shot / Cinelerra etc... with a great open source professional application, with support etc...11:07
ttoineAt the moment, for audio, MixBus is a good tool, I tried it with some pro of my friends and they were very enthusiast with it11:08
ttoineFor publishing we miss a better support of quadri color in graphic apps but it is "on the way"11:09
ttoineso i think that Ubuntu Studio will soon be something very good11:10
ttoineperhaps not this release, but next one should be great11:10
falktx_kdenlive is actually very good11:37
falktx_its audio support sucks though11:37
smartboyhwHello scott-work 12:11
scott-workgood morning smartboyhw 12:11
ailo-wMight as well say, good MD&E12:21
ailo-wMorning, Day & Evening12:21
smartboyhwailo-w, what is MD&E?:P12:21
smartboyhwAh12:21
ailo-wI just made it up12:22
smartboyhwLOL12:22
ailo-wGetting late in HK, while here, it's daytime12:22
smartboyhwailo-w, yes it is 8:22 PM (38 minutes to fireworks display YEAH!)12:22
ailo-wFireworks? What's the occasion?12:23
smartboyhwailo-w, national day12:23
ailo-wOh, didn't know about that. I've been to HK once, during December. 12:23
smartboyhwailo-w, oh!12:23
ailo-wSpent about a week there. Lived on a roof flat12:24
ailo-wKitchen was out doors12:24
smartboyhwailo-w, gee:P12:24
ailo-wIt was nice. I liked it12:24
ailo-wNice winter weather too12:24
smartboyhwGood then:P12:24
smartboyhwailo-w, winter is good but summer is damn hot:P12:24
ailo-wI can imagine..12:24
smartboyhw30-35 degrees celsius;;;P12:25
smartboyhwailo-w, anything you want to add to the post-installation testcase?12:26
ailo-wsmartboyhw: I'll need to think about it. I'll have another go at the whole testcase at least once more before your deadline12:27
smartboyhwailo-w, OK:)12:27
* smartboyhw wonders will len-dt add anything:P12:27
smartboyhwailo-w, do you have Ubuntu Studio 12.04?12:53
smartboyhwOr just anybody 12:54
ailo-wsmartboyhw: Not on it atm. I'm on 12.04 though13:01
smartboyhwok13:02
smartboyhwscott-work, the blueprint items......skaet told me to mark it postponed if you can't make it in the Q cycle. So should I mark it all?14:00
scott-workthat's fine, smartboyhw , i was planning on doing the same soon14:01
smartboyhwscott-work, OK.14:02
smartboyhwscott-work, is this page done? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/TestingQA-ISOImages14:02
smartboyhwIf then I will mark the testing items in there DONE instead of POSTPONED.14:02
smartboyhwAlso ailo_ check your work items14:03
smartboyhwscott-work, maybe I will just sent an email to everybody telling them to change their work items to POSTPONED if they can't make it to the cycle. That is better I think.14:05
scott-worksmartboyhw: i think that page is as done as it is going to get currently14:06
smartboyhwOK14:06
scott-worksmartboyhw: oh, okay, yes, please send an email if you prefer14:06
* smartboyhw prefers sending the email:P14:06
smartboyhwscott-work, need to ask you about this: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntustudio-q-theme-artwork14:15
smartboyhwshould all items be changed to POSTPONED?14:16
smartboyhwlen-dt, if you are here change your work items too14:19
scott-worksmartboyhw: feel free to mark all of mine (and those not assigned directly to a person) as postponed14:41
smartboyhwWow OK14:41
knomescott-work, hey :)14:41
scott-workhi knome 14:41
knomescott-work, what's up with life and work outside OS?14:42
smartboyhwknome: On the work part of scott-work let me paste you something14:50
smartboyhwknome: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1254003/14:51
knomeyup14:52
scott-worksmartboyhw: i read it14:55
smartboyhwscott-work, er it is your own lines;P14:55
scott-worksmartboyhw: i realize that, but i am not sure what point you are trying to make14:56
scott-workthese are factual statements, i have already told my bigger boss 1/2 of it14:56
smartboyhwscott-work, I just want to tell knome the part of your work since he asked about it14:56
scott-worki will engage him with the other 1/2 in a week when i have it written14:56
scott-worksmartboyhw: ah, i understand14:57
smartboyhw:)14:57
ailo_Ah, Scott disappeard15:09
smartboyhwyes:(15:09
knomemore likely his network :P15:10
ailo_smartboyhw: Make a post about it in our -devel list, if you like. 15:10
ailo_I wouldn't mind adding it, anyway.15:11
ailo_Seems like a small change15:11
smartboyhwOK15:11
smartboyhwailo_, maybe let me try to add it:P15:12
ailo_smartboyhw: There's no hurry with that. The important thing is whether it is added or not, not who adds it15:13
smartboyhwAh. I am sending the email. (Also with some testcase change15:14
ailo_smartboyhw: I'm sure that if you keep working on US as you have been doing now, and show you make responsible decisions, there will be no problem adding you to the dev team15:14
smartboyhwok15:15
smartboyhwailo_, here's what I am going to do. Add lmms to the ubuntustudio-recording seed, push it to my own branch, and ask for a merge request. So if you guys don't wanna add it don't merge:P15:21
smartboyhwOr is the generation seed better on this?15:23
smartboyhw....15:26
smartboyhwwb scott-work 15:27
smartboyhwscott-work, we are discussing about making lmms into the seeds.....Which seed, recording or generation, is better to put in?15:27
scott-worksmartboyhw: i would want to understand what people expected to accomplish with lmms, which other applications might be required to do that, and then consider which seed15:29
scott-worknot trying to be coy15:29
scott-workbut having these answers pretty much tells you what you want to know15:29
smartboyhwscott-work, hmm people expect to generate music (aka audio) and the other packages include librtaudio4, librtmidi1. libstk0c2a, lmms-common so I think should be in recording seed15:30
scott-workthe origins of the work flows was to prevent from including applications "because they should be there"15:32
smartboyhwscott-work, ah:P15:32
scott-workwhat happened is we had a lot of disparate applications that people really couldn't _do anything_15:32
scott-workother than run the application :P15:32
smartboyhwscott-work, even ailo_ agrees:P15:33
scott-workso, if we can create a step-by-step process, we will be able to probably determine what needs to be done (from our end)15:33
smartboyhwooh15:33
* scott-work thought lmms was more about electronic music, which probably includes synths, and expected that it might go into 'generation' rather than 'recording' seed, but is not fully appraised of lmms or the work flow one might use15:34
smartboyhwOK15:37
ailo_scott-work: I believe lmms is a first choice for people who 1. Aren't very technical 2. Like to make electronic musc15:38
smartboyhwscott-work, anyway I proposed merge15:39
scott-worksmartboyhw: are you short cutting the process? are there other applications that the typical lmms user might want to support their work flow?15:40
ailo_I'd label it a DAW, but it's not like a tape recorder15:40
ailo_lmms is a one-in-all app15:41
scott-workailo_: ah, okay. thank you ailo :)15:41
ailo_For those who don't need anything else than it offers15:41
smartboyhwscott-work, initial proposin:P15:43
ailo_I think for some people, lmms is used as an instrument too. It has some builtin instruments15:44
ailo_If qtractor is similar to Cubase, than lmms is similar to FL Studio. 15:45
ailo_Usually people who make electronic music would choose FL Studio, while studio recording bands would choose Cubase15:45
ailo_Ardour of course, is more of a pro recording tool, but has still been lacking on the midi department15:46
smartboyhwI announce we now got upgrade testcases in ISO Tracker!15:47
smartboyhwailo_, could you check what workitems in the Quantal blueprints that you can15:47
ailo_smartboyhw: I'll do that later today15:48
smartboyhwnot do it in the cycle? Please change it to POSTPONED 15:48
smartboyhwailo_, OK thanks:P15:48
smartboyhwBye all15:58
astraljavaHmmm... we already have hydrogen and qtractor, how much more benefit does lmms bring to a user?20:20
ailo_astraljava: Hydrogen is a drum machine, with a sequencer20:32
ailo_qtractor is an allround DAW20:32
ailo_lmms is a category of its own, for people used to use software like FL Studi20:33
ailo_If you have experience with how people like to use different software for creating music, you'll find that there are "types". One is a lmms type20:33
ailo_Can anyone explain why my XFCE submenu is displaying its parents name, instead of the <Name>Myname</Name>?20:35
ailo_I'm just about ready to commit changes to -settings20:35
ailo_len-dt: ^20:37
ailo_Doesn't make any sense. Pretty sleepy now. Hearing the Twilight Zone theme in my head20:45
ailo_I can't spend more time on this. I hate these little errors21:10
ailo_len-dt: Where does <Directory> point?21:21
ailo_Found it21:24
ailo_micahg: ubuntustudio-default-settings uploaded21:46
len-dtailo_, Micah is off a few days. May be best to remind him when back.22:17
ailo_len-dt: He said he might upload on Tuesday. Just letting him know it's done22:18
ailo_I mean, that the push is done 22:18
len-dtThe menu title is whatever is in the *.directory file22:18
ailo_Yeah, I discovered those22:18
ailo_So, there's a new submenu now, for Video Production, "Audio Tools", which only has one item22:19
len-dtOr if there is no directory file it may use something else. The menu name in the config file just seems to be there so it can be included as a sub menu.22:19
len-dtOK22:19
ailo_I think the menu name is there so you can call it with <Menuname>22:20
len-dtMy netbook video has gone bad22:20
ailo_Sorry, mixing things up now22:20
len-dtThe bios display doesn't even show22:20
len-dtThe backlight is fine22:20
ailo_len-dt: Did you try using an external monitor?22:21
len-dtbut no video. :P  so I tried plugging in an external monitor and I get video on both the internal and external... and when I unplug the external the internal continues to work till reboot.22:21
len-dtSigh22:22
ailo_Weird22:22
ailo_micahg: To clarify: Not uploaded. Pushed.22:23
len-dtYa, I will have to keep a monitor nearby... Wonder if it will work with one that is powered down22:23
len-dtCommited22:23
ailo_Commits are local, until they are pushed22:24
ailo_Except on bzr, if you didn't do a branch22:24
ailo_I did a branch. Commited, and then pushed22:24
len-dtYa, but when pushed it becomes committed in thge main branch22:24
ailo_I'd say, the commits get pushed into the main branch22:25
len-dtWhen adding things to a bug report, the word committed means the main branch has the commit.22:25
len-dtNot worth worrying about though.22:26
len-dtJust if you hear someone elase say committed, it probably means it has been pushed too22:26
ailo_The action you do to put the new code up, is by pushing. The change itself is in commits22:26
ailo_I'm gonna drop dead now. Getting really late22:27
len-dtGN22:27
ailo_It will be :)22:28
