[03:30] <idahoman> Anybody did the kernel update to the 3.5.0-18 low latency kernel and now Xorg crashes.  Boot back to 3.5.0-17 and everything works okay?
[03:35] <idahoman> I am guess some display firmware drivers didn't get updated with kernel
[03:39] <holstein> idahoman: likely going to be hardware specific.. or could be
[03:39] <holstein> idahoman: i would just use the kernel thats working, after reinstalling the "bad" one, and testing again
[03:40] <holstein> im also assuming you install your proprietary drivers im assuming you are using from the repos
[03:40] <holstein> if you installed them yourself manually, you will likely need to do that each kernel upgrade.. or just dont upgrade the kernel.. or just use the drivers in the repos
[03:40] <idahoman> I didn't do any customizations.  The install was fresh and only a couple days old.
[03:41] <idahoman> So everthing is from the supported repos
[03:42] <holstein> cool.. then the other options apply to you.. reinstall. test. report
[03:42] <idahoman> The first reboot after the update, system just comes up to a cursor,  switched to another virtual terminal and rebooted, selected the original kernel, and thats when I got the report of the xorg crash.
[03:43] <holstein> sure.. so what i would do is reinstall the kernel that is failing.. test.. report if its a bug related to your hardware, and use the kernel that is working
[03:44] <idahoman> I was just curious if anyone else had the same issue after this kernel update to 3.5.0-18....
[03:44] <holstein> no.. but that doesnt mean its not a bad package install on your system, or something specific to your hardware
[05:11] <fefhortt> ello?
[05:11] <holstein> o/
[05:12] <fefhortt> hi! listen, um.. i've been having problems with ubuntustudio lately
[05:13] <fefhortt> it would freeze, and the audio would keep kind of looping :S
[05:14] <holstein> listen?
[05:14] <holstein> fefhortt: are you using JACK?
[05:14] <fefhortt> i was using ubuntustudio 32-bit on an acer aspire v3, intel i5 4GB DDR3 Intel HD Graphs 3000
[05:14] <fefhortt> umm, i was trying to use it actually
[05:14] <holstein> fefhortt: share as many details as you can and myself or one of the other volunteers may be able to assist
[05:15] <holstein> fefhortt: i would relax the jack settings
[05:15] <holstein> and test again
[05:17] <fefhortt> ok, i'm now installing the 64 bit version, so I'll try the Jack settings as soon as the installation finishes, thank you very much :)
[05:18] <holstein> fefhortt: i would install something, and relax and try and use it.. and troubleshoot it
[05:18] <holstein> i would install and apply all upgrades
[05:18] <holstein> if i didnt need JACK, i would install ubuntu or xubuntu
[05:21] <fefhortt> i'm a musician, and i used to synthesize my sounds with windows software
[05:21] <fefhortt> and a friend of mine told me about this distribution
[05:22] <fefhortt> and I wanted to see what could I do with it, like to play live, and stuff
[05:23] <holstein> its not windows
[05:23] <holstein> i make music with it and on it.. other do as well.. check out #opensourcemusicians for example
[05:23] <holstein> you can use the distro live... ubuntustudio and AVlinux are both very nice live distros you can use to "get your feet wet"
[05:24] <holstein> you'll need decent hardware and good driver support for lowlatency for software synths
[05:24] <holstein> i suggest taking it slow and using JACK live to test your equipment
[05:24] <holstein> if you are new to ubuntu/linux in general, maybe just use linux daily
[05:25] <holstein> i used linux on my daily laptop for about a year or so before migrating my xp studio over
[05:25] <fefhortt> I've been using ubuntu like for half a year or so
[05:26] <fefhortt> but i really have problems with connections.. i use a Korg Microkey controller and find it really hard to get it to work with Foo YC20
[05:26] <fefhortt> for example
[05:26] <holstein> fefhortt: then you'll be familiar with the live CD's and how to boot them..
[05:26] <holstein> fefhortt: you start jack
[05:26] <holstein> you route the audio from yc20 to your soundcard
[05:27] <holstein> you route the midi connections from the microkey to the midi connections of yc20
[05:27] <holstein> i would suggest starting with yoshimi
[05:27] <len-dt> foo yc20 takes a lot of cpu. neither of my machines deal with it well.
[05:27] <holstein> i would start with the live CD.. get jack running test with yoshimi
[05:27] <fefhortt> oh, okay
[05:27] <holstein> yeah... yc20 is buggy for some reason
[05:28] <fefhortt> i tried yoshimi
[05:28] <len-dt> the calf organ works for me though.
[05:28] <holstein> fefhortt: come here whenever you have a system booted up live or otherwise and want to make some noise
[05:29] <fefhortt> ok, i'll reboot the pc, and start the distribution... thank you very much
[05:29] <fefhortt> i guess i'll  be back soon haha
[05:29] <fefhortt> thank you
[05:29] <holstein> fefhortt: do #opensourcemusicians if its dead in here
[05:30] <holstein> fefhortt: im going to sleep, and it can be slow
[05:30] <fefhortt> ok, don't worry, thanks for the support :)
[05:31] <holstein> fefhortt: anytime...
[11:25] <studio-user616> hi can somebody help me please i've got a problem :S
[11:26] <zequence> studio-user616: what kind of problem?
[11:26] <studio-user616> i cant install the ubuntu studio i get this message for the third time now :
[11:26] <studio-user616> The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed.
[11:27] <zequence> studio-user616: Tell me about your installation. Are you going to dual boot, or only keep one OS(Ubuntu Studio)?
[11:28] <zequence> What kind of machine is it? Multiple hard drives?
[11:28] <studio-user616> only ubuntu and its a one hard drive computer
[11:29] <studio-user616> i can copy paste some more info
[11:29] <studio-user616> im not that smart with computers so i probably messed something up
[11:30] <zequence> The critical phase is when you do partitioning
[11:30] <zequence> Did you choose something like: erase everything and install Ubuntu Studio on it=?
[11:30] <studio-user616> yes
[11:30] <studio-user616> thats what i chose
[11:31] <zequence> studio-user616: are you sure the hard drive is not broken?
[11:31] <zequence> studio-user616: When you boot into the live DVD, you can try mounting it, or even partition it using a partition manager (not sure if and which one we ship)
[11:31] <studio-user616> but when im looking at the harddrive in the disks application i can see that ubuntu uses 2.1 gigabyte but i have only 2
[11:32] <zequence> 2.1 GB is not enough for installing Ubuntu Studio
[11:32] <studio-user616> terabyte i mean
[11:33] <zequence> No OS will use that much. Perhaps you mean disks is calculating the size of the one partition to 2.1 TB?
[11:33] <zequence> As you might know, 1 TB is not exactly 10GB
[11:33] <studio-user616> yes i think
[11:33] <studio-user616> no 1000
[11:33] <studio-user616> 1024
[11:33] <zequence> Ah, yeah, sorry
[11:34] <zequence> :P
[11:34] <studio-user616> i know
[11:34] <studio-user616> im not that stupid
[11:34] <studio-user616> :P
[11:34] <zequence> studio-user616: So, when you use the disks application, you are able to partition the harddrive?
[11:34] <studio-user616> but thanks for trying to help me btw
[11:35] <zequence> studio-user616: Are you installing Ubuntu, or Ubuntu Studio, btw?
[11:35] <studio-user616> no i cant use it now because ubu studio had only gparted but when i was trying to install the normal ubuntu 12.10 i had the same problem
[11:40] <zequence> studio-user616: It's strange. I think a partition size of 2TB should be ok for a system install, while it might cause problems for GRUB. You could try creating a smaller partition for the system, something like 100GB, and of course a separate swap partition (usually twice the size of your RAM) and a data partition
[11:41] <zequence> The "data" partition could be your home
[11:41] <zequence> You'll need to partition manually to do that
[11:42] <studio-user616> i think i will try that then
[11:43] <studio-user616> are there more important partitions
[11:43] <studio-user616> i have to make?
[11:43] <zequence> studio-user616: swap is the only important partition, aside from / (root).
[11:43] <studio-user616> 1024
[11:44] <zequence> GRUB will boot the first partition. Either /boot (if you create one) or /
[11:44] <studio-user616> so i make 1 root (ext4?) 100 gb and one swap of 4 gb ? (mem is 2gb)
[11:44] <zequence> studio-user616: Yea
[11:44] <zequence> And use the rest for /home
[11:45] <studio-user616> thanks i'm going to try
[11:45] <zequence> 100GB should be enough for installing all software
[11:45] <zequence> If you feel uncertaing, use 200GB
[11:46] <studio-user616> if you don't see me anymore it means youve helped me THNX for that, otherwise i speak to you later maybe
[11:47] <studio-user616> THNX for the help im going to reboot now
[11:47] <zequence> studio-user616: I'm not sure it will help, but let's hope so. Otherwise, this is not really a Ubuntu Studio specific problem. You should really look for help on Ubuntu forums
[15:00] <webfantom> hi every1
[16:32] <studio-user268> hi!
[16:32] <studio-user268> Есть русские?\
[16:33] <webfantom> ну есьсессьна :)
[19:17] <thebishop> hey, do you folks have any preferred apps for basic stereo audio recording?  I've been using Audacity for years, but its got so many subtle annoying problems, and poor jack support i'm considering alternatives.  Ardour is overkill for the stuff i'm doing (digitizing vinyl records)
[19:25] <len-dt> mhwaveedit works well with jack
[19:27] <len-dt> thebishop, it is not as full featured as audacity, but it has native jack support.
[19:32] <thebishop> len-dt, the main things i need are #1: 96k/24bit stereo recording, normalization, labeling (for track splitting), and bulk export to flac
[19:58] <zequence> I really don't see why Audacity wouldn't be the best possible option for exactly things like that
[20:03] <len-dt> zequence, ya just don't use jack
[20:35] <zequence> len-dt: Well, it works ok, as long as you only do stereo recording after all
[21:00] <tech1_> i locked my screen manually / went to screensaver mode. and when i came back to my computer the screensaver was not animating but flickering and i couldnt bring the login box up
[21:01] <tech1_> first time it has ever happend. had to reboot. what could it be?
[21:39] <zequence> tech1_: I get that on a laptop with ATI graphics
[21:40] <tech1_> im on a pc so its not a hardware issue
[21:40] <zequence> Power savings stuff doesn't play well with it
[21:40] <tech1_> well less likley than a laptop to be
