| Unit193 | /quit | 03:04 |
| puskyer | Where Cal I learn about the required commands | 03:06 |
| Unit193 | What client are you using? | 03:07 |
| puskyer | Andchat on android | 03:08 |
| puskyer | Do I just as my question about Ubuntu studio like this? | 03:11 |
| Unit193 | Should be able to do /help and you can ask whatever question here. | 03:13 |
| Unit193 | (Well, anything UbuntuSudio related) | 03:13 |
| puskyer | I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.4 system to ubuntu studio 12.04 and am having issues with my data drive | 03:14 |
| puskyer | Is this a good place to get help? | 03:15 |
| puskyer | Did not have this problem with 10.4 | 03:15 |
| puskyer | Not data drive but data drive sorry | 03:16 |
| puskyer | Why does it change my sata to data? | 03:17 |
| puskyer | Anyways my boot is idea and work fine, sata is not accessible gives me errors | 03:19 |
| puskyer | I give up something keeps changing my text, I will come back when I figure out how to use this thing thanks | 03:20 |
| Unit193 | Alright, don't quite know what you're looking for, but can you access it if you use a LiveCD? | 03:20 |
| puskyer | Ok will have to try that then and see if it works | 03:21 |
| wip | hi everyone! question: how to set forever the cpu scaling : peformance? | 03:22 |
| wip | right now, when booting i set the cpufreqsomething to -c 0 -r -g performance (if i remember correctly) and all my cpu are now at full speed, but 10 minutes later, it goes back to ondemand?! | 03:23 |
| len-dt | The ubuntu start up script sets things to ondemand two times. | 03:24 |
| wip | so we are fighting | 03:24 |
| len-dt | one of those times is 60 seconds after login. | 03:24 |
| wip | what was your solution? | 03:25 |
| len-dt | So to make a change to performance it has to happen at least 60 seconds after login. | 03:25 |
| len-dt | Let me look at the system files :) | 03:25 |
| wip | maybe i can add a sleep 90 | 03:25 |
| wip | len-dt i have to really thank you, each time you help me getting a "perfect" audio setup | 03:25 |
| len-dt | in /etc/init.d there is a file called ondemand. | 03:26 |
| len-dt | you probably don't want to change that because some update may chaneg it back on you :P | 03:26 |
| wip | yeah been there in the past | 03:26 |
| wip | so sleep 90 is maybe the less dirty solution? | 03:27 |
| len-dt | but the line in it that does things is: background) | 03:27 |
| len-dt | sleep 60 # probably enough time for desktop login | 03:27 |
| len-dt | for CPUFREQ in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor | 03:27 |
| len-dt | do | 03:27 |
| len-dt | [ -f $CPUFREQ ] || continue | 03:27 |
| len-dt | echo -n ondemand > $CPUFREQ | 03:27 |
| len-dt | done | 03:27 |
| len-dt | ;; | 03:28 |
| len-dt | so in /etc/rc.local | 03:28 |
| len-dt | you could as you say have a sleep 90 and then copy the next few lines replacing the word ondemand with performance | 03:30 |
| len-dt | This will set performance on all cpus/cores | 03:30 |
| wip | yes excellent ! | 03:30 |
| len-dt | Is this a lap top? | 03:30 |
| wip | no a brand new computer (finally) | 03:30 |
| len-dt | desktop then? | 03:30 |
| wip | yes | 03:31 |
| len-dt | good, laptops tend to run too hot on performance all the time | 03:31 |
| len-dt | netbooks with the atom are not so bad. | 03:31 |
| wip | yes i bought also a decent heatsink / fan | 03:31 |
| wip | i am making a custom wood case for putting the computer and soundcard and expression pedal (anyway OT) | 03:32 |
| wip | last question: i don't want to run a monitor | 03:32 |
| len-dt | Making an organ then? | 03:32 |
| wip | not exactly | 03:32 |
| wip | maybe i will put a theremin in it :) | 03:32 |
| wip | but mainly for a guitar / bass / mic | 03:33 |
| wip | i am a big fan of pure data... | 03:33 |
| wip | making my own expression pedal controller | 03:33 |
| len-dt | Ok. it is just that I have only heard the word expesion pedal in organs befor. | 03:33 |
| wip | sorry, my english is far from perfect and i tend to not really think before typing (bad) | 03:34 |
| len-dt | Running with out a monitor is not as easy. | 03:34 |
| wip | i tried like 3-4 hours | 03:34 |
| wip | tried many different tutorials | 03:34 |
| wip | i will connect with x11vnc | 03:34 |
| len-dt | All the distros are made for x and an xsession which is graphic. | 03:34 |
| wip | np, will continue my search, i know there's a failsafe x11 | 03:35 |
| len-dt | Ah, so what you are really asking is how do I have an x server on one machine and run all the apps on another. | 03:35 |
| wip | but there's always this annoying pop-up that ask me a question before going in failsafe | 03:35 |
| wip | nope, just no monitor | 03:36 |
| wip | i will connect to it via another computer / tablet using vnc to see the screen | 03:36 |
| wip | and yes maybe interacting with it | 03:36 |
| len-dt | most graphics controlers what a screen before they will start. | 03:36 |
| len-dt | and X wants a screen before it will start too :) | 03:37 |
| wip | yep, but you can have a failsafe generic monitor | 03:37 |
| wip | that doesn't required a monitor to be connected | 03:37 |
| len-dt | What you will want to do is to get or make an xvga terminator | 03:37 |
| wip | but this annoying pop-up, if i could remove it, then i would be all set | 03:37 |
| wip | hardware hack for this? | 03:38 |
| wip | i really do not want to go there | 03:38 |
| wip | + my mobo doesn't have dvi / vga | 03:38 |
| len-dt | the terminator will make the video card think there is a monitor. | 03:38 |
| wip | will continue my search for a software solution | 03:38 |
| wip | will let you know | 03:38 |
| len-dt | OK, you are going places I haven't been yet | 03:39 |
| wip | everyone needs a monitor ;) | 03:39 |
| len-dt | I have done things without. My server starts up and runs without. | 03:40 |
| wip | right! server doesn't need a monitor | 03:40 |
| len-dt | many of the wifi routers are linuxboxes with no head too | 03:40 |
| wip | i have this really cheap android tablet | 03:40 |
| len-dt | I actually installed a minimal server for sound | 03:40 |
| wip | running linux on it with vnc, so i would like to use it as my monitor for my wood case | 03:41 |
| wip | like a jukebox without head? | 03:41 |
| len-dt | It has jack, and nama for recording.... all text by remote login. | 03:41 |
| len-dt | I am sure it can be done... | 03:42 |
| wip | sweet, i have also done something similar: but i am controlling the boombox with a voice recognition software | 03:42 |
| wip | no monitor, but i had to connect it to my tv - it was not working without it but i was really too busy to debug it | 03:43 |
| wip | hopefully this time i will find the solution | 03:43 |
| len-dt | Good luck with it then. | 03:44 |
| wip | the script that popup to ask : what do you want to do : start failsafe, edit xorg.conf etc... is coded in python, so i guess i could "hack" it to skip | 03:44 |
| wip | thx len-dt! | 03:44 |
| len-dt | You may be able to force a keypress at session start too. | 03:45 |
| wip | noted | 03:45 |
| len-dt | I think there are session recorder/playback apps out there | 03:46 |
| wip | yes, the problem is that the session is not started when i see the pop-up | 03:47 |
| wip | this is the file in question: | 03:57 |
| wip | http://geoservice.igac.gov.co/Ruteador/dz/usr/share/xdiagnose/failsafeXServer | 03:57 |
| wip | this one is the pop-up: | 03:58 |
| wip | http://geoservice.igac.gov.co/Ruteador/dz/usr/share/xdiagnose/failsafeXinit | 03:58 |
| wip | i want to simulate a click on LOW_RES_MODE to skip it automagically | 03:58 |
| len-dt | I would have to do the saem research you would to find out how.. | 04:17 |
| wip | NP! you already done so much for me and i guess for ubuntu-studio :) | 04:26 |
| wip | btw, the sleep 65 before performance is working nicely, full power to me | 04:27 |
| wip | is there anything else to do (tweaks), when running jack / puredata? | 04:27 |
| wip | like limits.conf | 04:32 |
| len-dt | Shouldn't need to. The latency can be adjusted to suit the use... lower for stage use and higher for recording. | 04:43 |
| len-dt | But that is just jack usage. | 04:44 |
| len-dt | I am going to have to go now though. | 04:44 |
| wip | ok, see you | 04:44 |
| === ubott2 is now known as ubottu | ||
| dtcrshr | can anyone recommend a nice doc about installind ladspa, vst or calf plugins into ubuntustudio? | 14:31 |
| holstein | dtcrshr: i would just search the repos and install what is there | 14:32 |
| holstein | if its a non ubuntustudio app or plug, i would look for specific documentation from the creators | 14:32 |
| holstein | dtcrshr: you can ask in #opensourcemusicians as well, and maybe find someone who has the plugs you seek working | 14:33 |
| holstein | dtcrshr: i dont use any non-linux plugs, nor any instrument vst's or plugs... only the ones for audio.. verbs, etc | 14:34 |
| holstein | dtcrshr: the kxstudio folks have done a lot to get windows vst's working.. #kxstudio | 14:34 |
| dtcrshr | yeah! | 14:35 |
| dtcrshr | im into a struggle to let a friend go to kx instead of ustudio | 14:35 |
| dtcrshr | much easier to work with, even with the claudia and other tools are awesome | 14:35 |
| dtcrshr | ill stick with this then, thanks anyway holstein | 14:35 |
| holstein | sure.. falk is great.. helps us out a lot | 14:35 |
| holstein | dtcrshr: im not suggesting you switch to kxstudio | 14:36 |
| dtcrshr | my favorite portuguese fella | 14:36 |
| holstein | dtcrshr: what im suggesting is.. if you are looking for windows vst support, you can ask in kxstudio.. kxstudio is ubuntu based | 14:36 |
| holstein | dtcrshr: we (ubuntustudio or ubuntu) are not allowed to include them, for licensing reasons | 14:36 |
| holstein | dtcrshr: anything that is implemented in kxstudio to support windows vst's is possible with ubuntustudio | 14:37 |
| holstein | dtcrshr: you can "stick with this" and just implement whatever kxstudio is doint | 14:37 |
| holstein | doing* | 14:37 |
| dtcrshr | sure thing! | 14:39 |
| rickbol | How do I get "Additional Drivers" to install the Broadcom STA driver for wifi... | 17:37 |
| rickbol | jockey.log reports: BroadcomWLHandler enabled(): kmod disabled, bcm43xx: blacklisted, b43: blacklisted, b43legacy: blacklisted | 17:37 |
| zequence | rickbol: Try to find the correct package | 17:38 |
| zequence | and install it manually | 17:38 |
| rickbol | wl (Broadcom STA) installed under the generic kernel update, but this is happening when i revert back to the low-latency kernel | 17:39 |
| zequence | rickbol: This is however not something I think any Ubuntu Studio dev is very knowledgable about. You might have better luck at one of any Ubuntu or kernel related channel | 17:39 |
| zequence | rickbol: Is this on 12.04? | 17:39 |
| zequence | The lowlatency kernel hasn't been updated for a while. Should be shortly | 17:40 |
| rickbol | ok, but I'm running ubuntustudio, but my kernel got updated to the latest generic-pae, and I could install STA fine there, but when I booted back to UbStud default kernel, STA install fails | 17:41 |
| zequence | rickbol: Is it the 12.04 release? | 17:42 |
| rickbol | zequence: yes, I'm running 12.04 | 17:42 |
| zequence | rickbol: So, the lowlatency kernel is out of date, unfortunately. A new one should appear shortly | 17:43 |
| zequence | Should be fully compatible with the generic kernel of the same release version | 17:43 |
| rickbol | Ok, good. I'll wait to try it. | 17:43 |
| zequence | Having generic be installed is of course not something we want. I don't know why that happens. We should try to stop that | 17:44 |
| tjaco | hi all, anyone have an idea how it could be that speakers aren't working but headphone out is...? Can I try to reinstall drivers? would that work? and how would I do that... | 18:57 |
| holstein | tjaco: you didnt install any drivers, correct? you are just using the ones supplied in the kernel? | 18:59 |
| holstein | !sound | 18:59 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 18:59 |
| holstein | you can review that ^^ | 18:59 |
| holstein | i would do a few things... open a terminal... | 18:59 |
| holstein | run 'alsamixer' and trust no labels there... tweak everything to test | 19:00 |
| holstein | make sure you dont have anything plugged into the headphone jack, as that can be hardware switchable to mute the internal speakers | 19:00 |
| tjaco | if I check the volume control for hardware output drivers, it's empty is that normal | 19:01 |
| holstein | tjaco: install (if its not installed) pavucontrol | 19:01 |
| holstein | tjaco: i dont know what 'volume control' you are looking at... feel free and take any screenshots and paste them to imagebin | 19:01 |
| holstein | tjaco: the drivers are in the kernel, so trying a different kernel version, or alsa verson can really make or break hardware support | 19:02 |
| holstein | i usually test and troubleshoot alsa/kernel versions with live CD's | 19:02 |
| holstein | you can always run "aplay -l" and just seach "ubuntu 'hardware line from aplay -l' speakers muted" | 19:03 |
| tjaco | yep I did test a live cd and that worked fine | 19:03 |
| holstein | tjaco: which live CD? the same live cd you installed from? | 19:03 |
| holstein | the *exact* same version? | 19:03 |
| tjaco | I did install some kxstudio stuff. maybe that's messing it up... | 19:03 |
| tjaco | just now I booted to normal ubuntu 12.10 | 19:04 |
| holstein | tjaco: that would have a different kernel and alsa version | 19:04 |
| holstein | kxstudio | 19:04 |
| tjaco | yeah, but i just wanted to test if my speakers weren't broken | 19:04 |
| holstein | tjaco: i would just relax though.. you likely just have it muted somewhere.. or tey and catch falk in #kxstudio | 19:04 |
| holstein | tjaco: it they work from the live cd, or worked before, test them there | 19:04 |
| tjaco | yeah I'll ask falk | 19:05 |
| holstein | tjaco: try with the *same* live cd that work before | 19:05 |
| tjaco | ok, yeah I'll try the live ubuntustudio I installed from and check if it works there. I guess it's just a muted speaker somewhere | 19:05 |
| tjaco | thanks for your help! | 19:06 |
| holstein | sure... anytime :) | 19:06 |
| tjaco | ok, off to reboot | 19:06 |
| tjaco | oh wait. in the alsamixer i started from terminal the speakers are muted | 19:08 |
| tjaco | how can I unmute it there... | 19:08 |
| tjaco | I'll google... | 19:09 |
| holstein | sometimes, i have found in xfce that the hardware mute cant be unmuted | 19:09 |
| holstein | you should be able to arrow up | 19:09 |
| holstein | 'm' seems to mute and unmute for me in alsamixer | 19:10 |
| tjaco | ok, that fixed it!! thanks a lot | 19:14 |
| holstein | sure.. enjoy! | 19:15 |
