[01:16] <pbcsound> lol...had to change my nick like a bunch of times because of nickserv
[01:17] <pbcsound> anyways...I got a bluetooth question...
[01:17] <pbcsound> I have a USB bluetooth adapter...and I need to use it...I see in software center there's already a bluetooth program installed...how do I use it?
[03:43] <studio-user347> Hi
[03:43] <studio-user347> someone speaks spanish here?
[08:59] <studio-user980> hello?
[08:59] <studio-user980> I guess no one is still awake, haha
[15:23] <Boogie> has anyone successfully compiled and installed ninjam app?
[16:40] <len-1304> Boogie, just downloaded the source.
[16:41] <len-1304> there is a file in the curses called COMPILING
[16:42] <len-1304> Of note is the last line under Linux "and hope things work."
[16:42] <len-1304> :)
[16:43] <len-1304> It says I need libogg, libvorbis, libasound so I will install the -dev versions
[16:45] <len-1304> Hmm I only have libasound2, hope that is ok.
[16:48] <len-1304> Oh ya I have to install the build environment
[16:51] <len-1304> sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
[16:58] <len-1304> Hmm, it doesn't say in the COMPILING file but it seems libncurses5-dev is also needed.
[16:58] <len-1304> Ive added ncurses-term just in case.
[16:59] <len-1304> Boogie, OK, it says it has compiled.
[17:01] <len-1304> there is a file in ~/software/ninjam/cursesclient (~/software/ is where I opened the tarball) called cninjam
[17:03] <len-1304> Well it runs... I don't have a server to connect to so I can't try it out... There are some values that need to be set.
[17:05] <len-1304> It wants to know the server,user,password... then you need to set up the stream with the device you are using for input and it's options (hopefully the same as the session on the server)
[17:08] <len-1304> Anyway, if you just run the binary with no options it gives a usage message.... the only help you will find, and then goes into "interactive mode" and starts asking questions.
[17:10] <len-1304> Boogie, to recap... On a ubuntu system (whatever flavour) install the build environment:
[17:10] <len-1304> sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
[17:11] <len-1304> Install the -dev packages for libogg, libvorbis, libasound and libncurses.
[17:12] <len-1304> go to the ninjam/cursesclient directory and type make.
[17:16] <len-1304> to install copy the cninjam file to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin as root (with sudo) or copy to ~/.local/bin/ (I think) Or just run it from where you compiled it as I did.
[17:16] <len-1304> TTYL
[17:23] <Boogie> Thanks a lot len-1304, I was AFK, the only package I have yet to install is libncurses, which I didn't install because there are several versions of it, so I was unsure which one should it be
[17:29] <Boogie> make: Nothing to be done for 'default'.
[17:30] <Boogie> default being cninjam I guess, according to the makefile
[17:31] <Boogie> wait, I guess it was installed
[17:38] <len-1304> Boogie, this is alpha software. All the normal warning go with that.
[17:38] <Boogie> i got it to run can get it to connect
[17:38] <Boogie> can't
[17:39] <len-1304> does it tell you why?
[17:39] <Boogie> error setting periods
[17:40] <len-1304> I would think that means your alsa device needs to already be set to the same sample rate/bit depth as the server expects.
[17:40] <Boogie> yes, but I really want to use jack
[17:40] <Boogie> not alsa
[17:41] <len-1304> ninjam is alsa. I would not use jack with it.
[17:41] <len-1304> If you do, you need a jack-alsa bridge running
[17:42] <Boogie> ok, let's use alsa to test
[17:43] <len-1304> If you are using jack at low latency so you can use a softsynth or soft effects. That may also pose a problem.
[17:47] <Boogie> did you run it thru terminal, or does it open a gui for you?
[17:48] <len-1304> As soon as you see the word curses you know there is no GUI. Terminal only.
[17:48] <Boogie> thanks
[18:00] <Boogie> i give up, I didn't really wanted to jam anyway
