[02:08] <scarecrow> i made a program launcher for panel 2 that runs sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -vda in terminal. when i click on it, a terminal window pops up asking for my password then closes upon entering. Neither command are being run (if i paste into terminal it works fine) whats going on?
[02:32] <scarecrow> fixed: "sudo sh -c 'swapoff -a && swapon -vda'"
[11:05] <kickore> Quick question with hopefully a short answer
[11:05] <kickore> why does my install keep randomly forgetting I have a keyboard and mouse
[12:14] <flip> Howdy folks :) Installing Ubuntu Studio now...exciting times.
[12:15] <flip> Kind of neat to drop into IRC _during_ the installation process.
[12:15] <cfhowlett> flip: 12.04?
[12:16] <flip> Just grabbed the latest stable of the site minutes ago.
[12:16] <flip> Didn't catch the version foolishly.
[12:16] <flip> cfhowlett: anything I should watch out for? :)
[12:17] <flip> install complete. Going down for reboot. Ciao for now.
[12:20] <cfhowlett> good luck!  Personally, my preference is to use LTS only releases and avoid the biannual upgrade headache.
[12:25] <flip> cfhowlette: 12.04 indeed
[12:36] <cfhowlett> flip: nice.  Enjoy.
[15:12] <Sarexpert_> I have just installed UbuntuStudio 12.04 to Oracle Virtualbox on Win 7.  Any suggestions on any special settings.  I set up a 64 Gig fixed size "disk" and gave it 1 Gig of memory.
[15:14] <Sarexpert_> Also, I am very familiar with Gnome 2, and XFCE is new to me.  Thoughts on putting in a limited Gnome 2 desktop?
[15:27] <zequence> Sarexpert_: You might not get the audio performance you'd like using a virtual install. What are you using US for?
[15:40] <raven> hi
[15:40] <raven> how to create mp3-chapters in audacity?
[15:49] <len-dt> raven, first I need to know what a chapter is is an MP#.
[15:49] <len-dt> I can guess... but I don't know.
[15:50] <raven> some mp3 podcasts have chapter marks i can jump to with vlc like dvd chapter marks - i need to do that too
[15:51] <len-dt> That was what I thought.
[15:52] <len-dt> I suspect that audacity doesn't do that on it's own and they would have to be added later.
[15:53] <len-dt> id3v2 does that though.
[15:55] <len-dt> there is also libid3-tools
[15:56] <raven> are theese timeline tools?
[15:57] <len-dt> I am not sure. Just looking through the installer.... Just opened audacity to look at that.
[15:58] <raven> ok i have to cut an event realtime so i cannot test theese tools now
[15:58] <raven> ill look at it later
[15:59] <len-dt> audacity does not do this.
[15:59] <len-dt> I can understand why you would want that though, sort of a gcdmaster for mp3s.
[16:00] <len-dt> I think most people in music ship a set of files, but chapters make sense to me.
[16:06] <len-dt> try this:
[16:06] <len-dt> http://www.ehow.com/how_12212042_make-chapters-audacity.html
[16:07] <len-dt> It seems there is a way to make chapters in audacity... but not in the export section where I looked.
[16:07] <len-dt> raven ^^^
[16:11] <len-dt> Nope, that is not what you want, It just splits the file into smaller files.
[17:08] <raven> len-dt are you there?
[17:10] <Len-nb> raven, Ya
[17:10] <raven> now i need any way to add chapters
[17:11] <raven> i looked at the two apps but i do not know how to use it for that
[17:12] <Len-nb> I am not sure either. It seems that the chapter part of the id3v2 is not included in the main spec, but is an addendum.
[17:12] <raven> how to find out? i would work with entering each chapter by hand but how to use id3v2?
[17:13] <Len-nb> This means that having an id editor or a player that is compliant does not mean it has chapters.
[17:13] <raven> ?
[17:14] <Len-nb> There is not much information on this... even though it has been around since 2005
[17:14] <holstein> i listen to a lot of pocasts, and have never used chapters... is that a featuer of a particular player raven ?
[17:14] <raven> at least of vlc but i need this option
[17:15] <Len-nb> I think it is the mp3 editor/encoder/idmaker
[17:15] <holstein> sure.. im just trying to determine what that option is, as i have not heard of it
[17:15] <Len-nb> It is there holstein ,but not common.
[17:15] <raven> for example at webradio stations you have changing id tags and i think that is nothing different to chapters
[17:16] <raven> theese are just changing ids
[17:16] <holstein> raven: it is quite different
[17:16] <holstein> raven: an id tage is an id tag.. chapters are like placeholders
[17:16] <Len-nb> chapter tags reside at the begining of the mp3 file
[17:16] <raven> anything like "enhanced podcasts" which also is able to include changing images
[17:16] <Len-nb> there is also a set of TOC tags
[17:17] <raven> anyway how to add this to an mp3?
[17:18] <Len-nb> raven, I think any of us would have to do the same research you would to find out.
[17:18] <holstein> raven: import the audio to ardour.. export to whatever.. convert to mp3.. though that is overkill for what you want
[17:18] <holstein> raven: what is the goal?
[17:19] <holstein> raven: if you are creating the content, and wanting to create markers for listeners, i wouldnt bother...
[17:19] <holstein> i would say few know about them... or use them
[17:20] <holstein> i think after digging around and coming up with some 'less than elegant' solution, you'll be able to implement something several people will notice
[17:20] <Len-nb> holstein, in a two hour podcast it would be nice to listen to 20 min and come back to it with out having to try to find the same place.
[17:21] <holstein> sure, but thats not a chapter mark.. thats a feature of my playter
[17:21] <Len-nb> The problem is that any of the podcasts I listen to are made by people who just barely know how to record the audio file and package to mp3
[17:21] <holstein> player*.. it resumes
[17:22] <holstein> http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=68075
[17:22] <Len-nb> It could be a chapter mark.

[17:22] <holstein> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/47790-6-create-chapters-long-file
[17:22] <holstein> raven: i would also not search "mp3" for this.. you can create the chapters in whatever format and convert to mp3
[17:23] <holstein> raven: searching mp3 uneccessarily limits the search.. when all you want is chapters in an audio file
[17:24] <raven> ok have to do later
