[03:01] <puskyer> Bye
[03:01] <puskyer> Quit
[03:02] <puskyer> Exit
[03:04] <Unit193> /quit
[03:06] <puskyer> Where Cal I learn about the required commands
[03:07] <Unit193> What client are you using?
[03:08] <puskyer> Andchat on android
[03:11] <puskyer> Do I just as my question about Ubuntu studio like this?
[03:13] <Unit193> Should be able to do /help and you can ask whatever question here.
[03:13] <Unit193> (Well, anything UbuntuSudio related)
[03:14] <puskyer> I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.4 system to ubuntu studio 12.04 and am having issues with my data drive
[03:15] <puskyer> Is this a good place to get help?
[03:15] <puskyer> Did not have this problem with 10.4
[03:16] <puskyer> Not data drive but data drive sorry
[03:17] <puskyer> Why does it change my sata to data?
[03:19] <puskyer> Anyways my boot is idea and work fine, sata is not accessible gives me errors
[03:20] <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?
[03:21] <puskyer> Ok will have to try that then and see if it works
[03:22] <wip> hi everyone! question: how to set forever the cpu scaling : peformance?
[03:23] <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?!
[03:24] <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.
[03:25] <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
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <len-dt>         ;;
[03:28] <len-dt> so in /etc/rc.local
[03:30] <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?
[03:31] <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
[03:32] <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 :)
[03:33] <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.
[03:34] <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.
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <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.
[03:37] <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
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <len-dt> OK, you are going places I haven't been yet
[03:39] <wip> everyone needs a monitor ;)
[03:40] <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
[03:41] <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.
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <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
[03:44] <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!
[03:45] <len-dt> You may be able to force a keypress at session start too.
[03:45] <wip> noted
[03:46] <len-dt> I think there are session recorder/playback apps out there
[03:47] <wip> yes, the problem is that the session is not started when i see the pop-up
[03:57] <wip> this is the file in question:
[03:57] <wip> http://geoservice.igac.gov.co/Ruteador/dz/usr/share/xdiagnose/failsafeXServer
[03:58] <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
[04:17] <len-dt> I would have to do the saem research you would to find out how..
[04:26] <wip> NP! you already done so much for me and i guess for ubuntu-studio :)
[04:27] <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?
[04:32] <wip> like limits.conf
[04:43] <len-dt> Shouldn't need to. The latency can be adjusted to suit the use... lower for stage use and higher for recording.
[04:44] <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
[14:31] <dtcrshr> can anyone recommend a nice doc about installind ladspa, vst or calf plugins into ubuntustudio?
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <holstein> dtcrshr: you can ask in #opensourcemusicians as well, and maybe find someone who has the plugs you seek working
[14:34] <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
[14:35] <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
[14:36] <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
[14:37] <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*
[14:39] <dtcrshr> sure thing!
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <zequence> rickbol: Try to find the correct package
[17:38] <zequence> and install it manually
[17:39] <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?
[17:40] <zequence> The lowlatency kernel hasn't been updated for a while. Should be shortly
[17:41] <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
[17:42] <zequence> rickbol: Is it the 12.04 release?
[17:42] <rickbol> zequence: yes, I'm running 12.04
[17:43] <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.
[17:44] <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
[18:57] <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...
[18:59] <holstein> tjaco: you didnt install any drivers, correct? you are just using the ones supplied in the kernel?
[18:59] <holstein> !sound
[18:59] <holstein> you can review that ^^
[18:59] <holstein> i would do a few things... open a terminal...
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <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...
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <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
[19:06] <tjaco> thanks for your help!
[19:06] <holstein> sure... anytime :)
[19:06] <tjaco> ok, off to reboot
[19:08] <tjaco> oh wait. in the alsamixer i started from terminal the speakers are muted
[19:08] <tjaco> how can I unmute it there...
[19:09] <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
[19:10] <holstein> 'm' seems to mute and unmute for me in alsamixer
[19:14] <tjaco> ok, that fixed it!! thanks a lot
[19:15] <holstein> sure.. enjoy!
