| tech1 | is there a way to make certain apps take a different background color? i have dark panels on my gui and this app takes the gui panel color and prints dark text on it | 01:41 |
|---|---|---|
| tech1 | so it is very hard to read | 01:41 |
| holstein | tech1: i would just choose a different theme | 02:31 |
| holstein | the xubuntu ones are great. greybird or whatever | 02:31 |
| tech1 | its ok. i found out i can route the output to terminal :) | 02:32 |
| area51employee | hello! i just got my laptop setup with ubuntu studio and so far it's pretty awesome! | 03:34 |
| area51employee | what sort of cable/interface should i use for my guitar to use the effects and amp modeling software? | 03:35 |
| timbo_ | i'd be interested in thoughts on this too | 03:36 |
| area51employee | hello timbo_~ | 03:38 |
| area51employee | oopss..that should have been this ! | 03:39 |
| holstein | area51employee: i might just get a simple USB thing... something like the Behringer UCA202-U-CONTROL | 03:40 |
| holstein | something cheap that you can try and see if you want to mess with it | 03:40 |
| holstein | you'll need lower latency that most users would | 03:40 |
| holstein | i get really low latency with my firewire device, but that is overkill for you | 03:41 |
| holstein | i get around 5 or 6 ms latency with several stereo usb devices | 03:41 |
| area51employee | well, i'll take super low latency since i can't really stand any delay | 03:41 |
| holstein | maybe a Behringer Guitar Link UCG102 | 03:41 |
| holstein | area51employee: you wont be able to tell around 8 | 03:42 |
| holstein | usually arond 12 is where i can kind of start to notice | 03:42 |
| holstein | area51employee: i say, get a device, play around and see for yourself | 03:42 |
| timbo_ | i have a USB3 port - seen anything using that yet? | 03:42 |
| holstein | if you want to get the wallet out... look at RM | 03:42 |
| holstein | RME* | 03:42 |
| area51employee | RME? what's that? and i've heard about USB3 but it's very limited right now..there's suppose to be a new kind of port created by intel and i can't think of what it is | 03:43 |
| holstein | timbo_: it not really an issue of the usb not being fast enough | 03:43 |
| timbo_ | gotcha | 03:43 |
| holstein | http://www.rme-audio.de/en_index.php | 03:43 |
| area51employee | thanks for the link..i'll look at that soon | 03:44 |
| holstein | area51employee: for exampley, if you would like to have a nice firewire deivce with really low latency, you could drop a couple grand | 03:44 |
| holstein | i would just get a nice USB device with a few 1/4" or rca ins/outs | 03:44 |
| area51employee | ok, that's cool | 03:45 |
| timbo_ | ditto, thanks for the info holstein | 03:45 |
| holstein | i used one of these... http://www.amazon.com/M-AUDIO-Transit-Resolution-Mobile-Upgrade/dp/B0000CDHP5 | 03:45 |
| holstein | got it for under $100 a long time ago | 03:45 |
| holstein | its tolerable as a live interface like that | 03:45 |
| holstein | i used it with the effects loop on my bass amp | 03:46 |
| holstein | timbo_: sure | 03:46 |
| holstein | timbo_: it really comes down to driver support... and JACK support for the hardware | 03:46 |
| holstein | what we are talking about is pretty small.. relatively | 03:46 |
| holstein | just a pipe in and out | 03:46 |
| holstein | i do 8 tracks at a time in at 24/96 with the presonus firepod i have | 03:47 |
| timbo_ | yeah my buddy runs fedora and recently got an audio interface ... which seems to be completely incompatible :D | 03:47 |
| holstein | but, you dont need that for doing live effects | 03:47 |
| holstein | well.. theres nothing about linux that is preventing companies from providing drivers for the hardware they build | 03:48 |
| holstein | its all open and available | 03:48 |
| timbo_ | amen | 03:48 |
| area51employee | i agree..come companies are just too scared to go with an open source OS | 03:48 |
| area51employee | some* | 03:49 |
| holstein | sometimes a kernel version change or alsa rev can add support | 03:49 |
| holstein | OR, break it | 03:49 |
| area51employee | gotta go guys!! thanks for the info holstein! | 03:50 |
| holstein | area51employee: anytime! | 03:50 |
| area51employee | one more thing before i go..how do you send a private message? i used IRC years ago when instant messaging wasn't around yet and i've forgotten how. | 03:50 |
| holstein | area51employee: /q or /query nick | 03:51 |
| holstein | i think it might depend on the client you are using a bit as well | 03:51 |
| holstein | you can right-click on the nick in some cases... in irssi, /q is enough | 03:51 |
| area51employee | ok | 03:51 |
| area51employee | l8r! | 03:52 |
| holstein | area51employee: you can test it on me if you need | 03:52 |
| Tengu_ | Hello, would anyone know how to bring the login prompt back on Ubuntu Studio. I originally set it up for automatic login, but that is no longer desired. | 07:22 |
| ailo-w | Tengu_: Should be an application somewhere to manage user accounts | 07:31 |
| ailo-w | Users and groups. Something like that | 07:32 |
| ailo-w | That's where you can set automatic login on/off | 07:32 |
| Tengu_ | I've looked through Users and Groups. I've set it so it asks for password on login, but it doesn't seem to follow through with that setting. | 07:34 |
| ailo-w | Tengu_: I'd ask on #xubuntu then. I at least am not very familiar with XFCE | 07:36 |
| ailo-w | Tengu_: How were you able to change to not ask for password? During install? | 07:36 |
| ailo-w | Tengu_: This may help in finding out the cause | 07:37 |
| Tengu_ | Yeah. | 07:38 |
| ailo-w | Tengu_: Yeah, as in you made the seting during insall? | 07:45 |
| Tengu_ | Yup. | 07:46 |
| ailo-w | Ok, great | 07:46 |
| Tengu_ | I believe lightdm is the login manager. | 07:46 |
| ailo-w | Tengu_: You installed ubuntu desktop on top of Ubuntu Studio? | 07:47 |
| Tengu_ | No, I simply installed Ubuntu Studio. | 07:47 |
| ailo-w | Ah, yeah. Well, I guess that could be the problem. Some changes around that | 07:51 |
| ailo-w | Anyway, I'll look into it. | 07:51 |
| Tengu_ | From what I understand /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf is the file, if I comment out "autologin-user=madadmin" it might work. But the file is read only. | 07:52 |
| ailo-w | Tengu_: Sounds plausible. If it works, let me know | 07:55 |
| Tengu_ | Well, only one way to test. Thanks for the help so far. | 07:55 |
| Unit193 | ailo-w: It's also at http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/ | 07:59 |
| Tengu_ | Cool, that worked. | 08:00 |
| ailo-w | Unit193: Thanks | 08:24 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing. | 08:24 |

| studio-user982 | good day all! | 14:59 |
| smartboyhw | studio-user982, hi | 14:59 |
| smartboyhw | ... | 15:04 |
| area51employee1 | how do manage the power settings in ubuntu studio? i can't find the icon anywhere. | 16:01 |
| area51employee1 | i hate leaving out words..you* should have been in there. | 16:02 |
| area51employee1 | anybody here? | 16:03 |
| rickbol | I've loaded a dark theme in US, but Google search and some other web pages use a light grey colored typeface on white background. | 16:35 |
| rickbol | What's the recommended way to manage this issue? | 16:35 |
| ailo | rickbol: That's a GTK theming issue, I believe. Don't think you'll find many experts on that topic here | 16:44 |
| ailo | rickbol: Could be there are some artwork channels. Like #ubuntu-artwork, or some other channel that deals with gtk or theming | 16:45 |
| rickbol | ok. thought audio\video ppl seeking a dark theme might already "know the ropes". thx. | 16:46 |
| ailo | rickbol: Is it a custom theme, or one included with the instal? | 16:46 |
| rickbol | it's Phasex-Dark. Either included by default, or from a pkg addon. | 16:48 |
| rickbol | I can work around it using a Firefox setting, but it has to be don on a per-domain or per-webpage basis. I'm investigating whether or not... | 16:49 |
| ailo | rickbol: Have you done a fresh install, or did you upgrade an existing installation? | 16:49 |
| rickbol | I can make the font conditional based on background color. | 16:50 |
| ailo | conditional sounds promising | 16:50 |
| rickbol | not sure firefoxenable that possibility. | 16:52 |
| ailo | rickbol: Can't seem to find that theme anywhere | 16:56 |
| ailo | There's an audio app called phasex, but I can't seem to find the theme called phasex-dark | 16:57 |
| ailo | I mean, on Google even | 16:57 |
| rickbol | Settings->Settings Manager->Appearance, Style tab ? | 16:58 |
| ailo | rickbol: Yeah, I was not on XFCE a moment ago, so I naturally thought it would appear as a GTK theme. | 17:02 |
| ailo | In Gnome3, that is | 17:02 |
| ailo | So, it comes by default with Ubuntu Studio, and therefore also with Xubuntu | 17:03 |
| rickbol | well for posterity, for Google, in the <home>/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>.default/chrome/userContent.css... "input#gbqfq.gbqfif { color: black !important; }" ...works. | 17:08 |
| ailo | rickbol: You could ask on #xubuntu. I can't seem to find where that theme originates from. What package includes it, etc.. | 17:09 |
| ailo | Would be good for someone to fix that | 17:09 |
| rickbol | I don't think conditional evaluationis supported in css | 17:09 |
