[05:39] <phil__> Hello there ... i would like to ask if (and how) i can download Ubuntu Studio with the windows installer for ubuntu ...as you can understand i am pretty new so , if this is an advanced task for me please let me know ...thanks
[05:42] <ailo> phil__: wubi.exe is only Ubuntu AFAIK. You need a free partition on your hard drive, or use an external hard drive, if you want to install Ubuntu Studio
[05:42] <ailo> phil__: You can also just create a bootable usb stick, or burn a DVD just to try it out first
[05:44] <phil__> @ailo thanks a lot ...i will try that way :)
[05:53] <ailo> phil__: If you install, be warned that during the process there will be a GRUB bootloader installed in the MBR(master boot record) of your first Hard Drive (don't remember if you could choose on which disk). This will replace Windows boot loader with the Ubuntu one
[05:54] <ailo> phil__: You can read more about installing at https://ubuntustudio.org/download/
[05:54] <ailo> phil__: And about dual booting, here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot
[05:59] <phil__> ailo thanks for your help ...i am reading and Googling also ...
[06:44] <contrapunctus> Happy continium, ailo...bwahahaha :)

[09:26] <rolandow> hello
[09:26] <rolandow> i want to try running mixxx on linux with my behringer bcd 3000 ... would ubunstu studio be a much better choice than the "normal" ubuntu?
[09:26] <rolandow> i have a p4 2,8 ghz 1 GB ram laptop
[09:59] <contrapunctus> rolandow
[09:59] <contrapunctus> It'd be better because it has a better kernel, and some software comes preinstalled. Other than that, 1. IDK 2. I recommend UbuntuStudio+KXStudio
[10:00] <contrapunctus> There might be other tweaks and fixes etc in UbuntuStudio as well. Making an audio production system from a vanilla distro is advanced user stuff.
[10:06] <rolandow> hm..
[10:06] <rolandow> ok .. i just read a tutorial who prefers a clean ubuntu .. i might try ubuntustudio if that doesn't work out ..
[10:06] <rolandow> from what i read know i must make sure that i configure JACK correctly
[10:07] <rolandow> what is this xrun errors i keep reading about?
[10:07] <contrapunctus> Yeah, configuring JACK settings (if that's what you meant) will be the most critical and annoying part...but it's mostly the only part of config you have to do on any made-for-audio distro like UbuntuStudio.
[10:08] <rolandow> ok .. but will jack recognize my midi controller?
[10:08] <contrapunctus> I forgot what xruns are, but you're generally not meant to get too many of them.
[10:08] <rolandow> or in other words: how can i found about the best settings for my midi controller?
[10:08] <rolandow> yes.. that's what i read too .. but are xruns errors that i will see on my screen?
[10:08] <rolandow> or will it just be a freezing system ?
[10:08] <contrapunctus> It should. If not, post in UbuntuStudio forums or linuxmusicians.com forums.
[10:09] <contrapunctus> No, xruns are skips in audio.
[10:09] <contrapunctus> Xrun notifications it comes up in message windows.
[10:09] <contrapunctus> *come up
[10:10] <contrapunctus> IRC channels can also help, maybe faster than forums.
[10:10] <contrapunctus> #ubuntustudio, #lau (linux audio users), and #opensourcemusicians are the ones I know of.
[10:10] <rolandow> yes.. i am trying to prepare now :)
[10:11] <rolandow> reading and gathering information as much as possile.. then i saw there was this irc channel so that's why i came here...
[10:11] <contrapunctus> Cool...
[10:11] <rolandow> started irc again a few weeks back for magento .. (used to be an irc addict, hehe) .. which is actually really helpfull
[10:11] <contrapunctus> I see O.o
[10:12] <contrapunctus> Linux audio setup is not very hard, but kind of patience-testing.
[10:12] <rolandow> well .. i don't need anything pro .. not really
[10:12] <rolandow> i'll be using it as a toy .. sort of better-than-winamp setup
[10:12] <contrapunctus> o.o
[10:12] <rolandow> hehe
[10:13] <contrapunctus> :)
[10:13] <contrapunctus> Well, I'll be off, tis lunchtime.
[10:13] <rolandow> i will enjoy playing with it, but i don't think i will ever be on stage with my DJ skills ;-)
[10:13] <rolandow> ok .. thanks for your response!
[10:13] <contrapunctus> BTW, you might be interested in
[10:13] <contrapunctus> Louigi Verona on YouTube. ;)
[10:14] <contrapunctus> His music might interest you...although Ionno if he is a DJ.
