[01:41] <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
[02:31] <holstein> tech1: i would just choose a different theme
[02:31] <holstein> the xubuntu ones are great. greybird or whatever
[02:32] <tech1> its ok. i found out i can route the output to terminal :)
[03:34] <area51employee> hello! i just got my laptop setup with ubuntu studio and so far it's pretty awesome!
[03:35] <area51employee> what sort of cable/interface should i use for my guitar to use the effects and amp modeling software?
[03:36] <timbo_> i'd be interested in thoughts on this too
[03:38] <area51employee> hello timbo_~
[03:39] <area51employee> oopss..that should have been this !
[03:40] <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
[03:41] <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
[03:42] <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*
[03:43] <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
[03:44] <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
[03:45] <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
[03:46] <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
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <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
[03:49] <area51employee> some*
[03:49] <holstein> sometimes a kernel version change or alsa rev can add support
[03:49] <holstein> OR, break it
[03:50] <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.
[03:51] <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
[03:52] <area51employee> l8r!
[03:52] <holstein> area51employee: you can test it on me if you need
[07:22] <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.
[07:31] <ailo-w> Tengu_: Should be an application somewhere to manage user accounts
[07:32] <ailo-w> Users and groups. Something like that
[07:32] <ailo-w> That's where you can set automatic login on/off
[07:34] <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.
[07:36] <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?
[07:37] <ailo-w> Tengu_: This may help in finding out the cause
[07:38] <Tengu_> Yeah.
[07:45] <ailo-w> Tengu_: Yeah, as in you made the seting during insall?
[07:46] <Tengu_> Yup.
[07:46] <ailo-w> Ok, great
[07:46] <Tengu_> I believe lightdm is the login manager.
[07:47] <ailo-w> Tengu_: You installed ubuntu desktop on top of Ubuntu Studio?
[07:47] <Tengu_> No, I simply installed Ubuntu Studio.
[07:51] <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.
[07:52] <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.
[07:55] <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.
[07:59] <Unit193> ailo-w: It's also at http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/
[08:00] <Tengu_> Cool, that worked.
[08:24] <ailo-w> Unit193: Thanks
[08:24] <Unit193> Sure thing.
[09:28] <fhspenom3> hello
[14:59] <studio-user982> good day all!
[14:59] <smartboyhw> studio-user982, hi
[15:04] <smartboyhw> ...
[16:01] <area51employee1> how do manage the power settings in ubuntu studio? i can't find the icon anywhere.
[16:02] <area51employee1> i hate leaving out words..you* should have been in there.
[16:03] <area51employee1> anybody here?
[16:35] <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?
[16:44] <ailo> rickbol: That's a GTK theming issue, I believe. Don't think you'll find many experts on that topic here
[16:45] <ailo> rickbol: Could be there are some artwork channels. Like #ubuntu-artwork, or some other channel that deals with gtk or theming
[16:46] <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?
[16:48] <rickbol> it's Phasex-Dark. Either included by default, or from a pkg addon.
[16:49] <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?
[16:50] <rickbol> I can make the font conditional based on background color.
[16:50] <ailo> conditional sounds promising
[16:52] <rickbol> not sure firefoxenable that possibility.
[16:56] <ailo> rickbol: Can't seem to find that theme anywhere
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <rickbol> Settings->Settings Manager->Appearance, Style tab  ?
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <ailo> So, it comes by default with Ubuntu Studio, and therefore also with Xubuntu
[17:08] <rickbol> well for posterity, for Google, in the <home>/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>.default/chrome/userContent.css... "input#gbqfq.gbqfif { color: black !important; }" ...works.
[17:09] <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
[20:33] <reha> hello, i have a question
[20:33] <reha> with virtual midi keyboard
[20:34] <reha> the only buttons on it are the effect buttons, and i couldn't find the way to get any sound from it
[20:34] <reha> what should i do after starting program
