=== saras-u8 is now known as saras
Len-nbsaras, how is your IF not working? What kind is it? Is it USB, internal, fire wire or PCI?06:22
Len-nbWorking right can be a number of combinations, it depends on what the job is you are trying to do.06:23

ubuntu-studioIch habe Ubuntustudio von DVD Heft linuxuser spezial installiert, geht aber anscheinend nur von DVD.09:57
ubuntu-studioKann man das irgendwie anders erwerben? Ansonsten baue ich mir selbs ein Konzept mit Ubuntu 1210:00
Ricardo-UbuntustHello, Does anyone recommend software and streaming support issue (personally, locally and online) audio / video?. I tried Goalbit, but the user must install plugin's, I would find something standard. Thanks, happy holidays and happy 2013! for all11:16

dsenatorhey all, I have just switched to Ubuntu Studio 12.10 and there is a bug... If I leave my system for a while and return it seem to have hybernated or gone to sleep but then I cant get it to wake up or come alive again, so I end up making a hard restart13:09
dsenatorhello13:10
dsenatormy ubunto studio 12.10 always crashes and requires a hard restart everytime I leave my computer for a while and return to it13:10
dsenatorI have reported the bug but no response yet13:11
dsenatormy ubunto studio 12.10 always crashes and requires a hard restart everytime I leave my computer for a while and return to it15:06
holsteindsenator: i would test that for a hardware issue15:24
dsenatorhey holstein , glad to have you here again15:24
holsteindsenator: if its a destkop, or easy to open laptop, i usually remove the hard drive (or just disconnect) and troubleshoot the hardware15:24
dsenatoractually its a laptop and the same one I used since the last time we had conversation15:25
dsenatorhave always been using ubuntu and no such issue15:25
holsteindsenator: load up the live CD for ubuntu that worked and test15:25
dsenatorbut last week I decided to load up ubuntu studio and have since been having the issue\15:25
holsteindsenator: switch to ubuntustudo 12.04 if you think its a 12.10 issue15:26
holsteindsenator: *if* this is a software issue, it is likely a hardware support/driver issue.. so look at the kernel version/type15:26
dsenator12.10 is fine just the at since I switched to studio I have this issue15:26
dsenatorholstein, can you show me how15:27
holsteindsenator: cool.. then load up said 12.10 where everything is "fine" and confirm tis15:27
holsteindsenator: you can install the same kernel from main ubuntu and test15:27
holsteinsudo apt-get install linux-generic15:27
holsteindsenator: you can just *not* use ubutustudio15:28
holsteindsenator: load up the ubuntu version that is working and add whatever you want from our meta-packages.. or whatever audio/video apps you want15:28
holsteindsenator: ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. so just add whatever you need to ubuntu and enjoy!15:28
dsenatorlinux generic... whats that gonna do15:31
holsteindsenator: ?15:32
holsteindsenator: ubuntustudio uses and ships with a lowlatency kernel15:32
holsteindsenator: ubuntu ships the above generic kernel15:32
holsteindsenator: if you say "ubuntu was fine and ubuntustudio is broken" i am suggesting installing the same kerne as ubuntu to test and confirm15:32
holsteindsenator: what is it going to do?? it will install the package i suggested with the generic kernel that is the same kernel ubuntu 12.10 has15:33
dsenatorhere is what i got 'linux-generic is already the newest version.15:33
holsteindsenator: how did you install ubuntustudio?15:34
holsteindsenator: in a terminal.... "uname -a" and paste output here15:34
dsenatorI think I did it thru the terminal15:34
dsenatorhere ''Linux dsenator-HP-Pavilion-dv6500-Notebook-PC 3.5.0-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 11 18:52:46 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux15:34
holsteindsenator: let me know *exactly* how you did15:35
holsteindsenator: otherwise, you arent using our kernel15:35
holsteindsenator: you arent using ubuntustudio15:35
dsenatorhmmm, confused dot com15:35
holsteindsenator: you can download are 12.10 or 12.04 live cd and test on that hardware and consider reinstalling15:35
dsenatorwhen yu say test15:36
holsteindsenator: load up the live CD.. live.. without installing.. as a test.. that will not affect your hardware permanently in any way15:36
dsenatorI dont have a lice cd, I always upgrade... here is the thing, when I fire up my system, I have the choices from which I can choose the ubuntu type i want, so I have the normal ubuntu 12.10 gnome and then I can choose the ubuntu studio15:38
dsenatorxfce15:38
holsteindsenator: there is no "normal ubuntu 12.10 gnome".. we dont ship gnome on anything15:39
holsteindsenator: i hear you.. and im sure you are facing a challenging situation.. but i would get a live CD.. the 12.10 ubuntustudio live CD.. load it up and test15:39
dsenatorwhat does test mean15:39
holsteinif you hae the same issue.. its and ubuntstudio issue.. if you dont.. its your config15:39
dsenatorthats what I cont get15:40
holsteindsenator: it means to test.. taking your current installation out of the equation15:40
holsteindsenator: you have a system that you are not sure how or if you hae converted to ubuntustudio... it could be fragmented, misconfigured or broken15:40
holsteini think it would save a lot of time to take the operating system out of the equation.. by loading up a live CD15:41
holsteindsenator: i use the live CD's as a tool... i test with them all the time15:41
dsenatorI only get this issue when I leave the system for a long time and then it does some screen saver and then I come back its a black screen, normally when that happen, I just touch any button and it prompts me for a password to login but now it just wont respond until I am forced to hard restart vis the power button15:42
holsteindsenator: disable the screen saver.. test for tty15:42
holstein!tty | dsenator15:42
ubottudsenator: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login).  To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution15:42
holsteindsenator: test with the live CD and see if you can replicate the error15:43
dsenatorok... I cant say I am very sure what to do but i will try out what I understand from this chat and let you know15:44
holsteindsenator: you troubleshoot..15:45
holsteindsenator: no one will be able to say 'this is what you have done".. you will have to troubleshoot and test and provide more data15:45
dsenatorwhen I loaded studio, it was from terminal15:45
holsteindsenator: sure.. but you dont "load studio"15:45
holsteintheres a different kerenl15:45
holsteinanyways.. that doesnt matter.. if it were my machine, i would just download the live CD.. test and see about the error when it doesnt replicate on the live cd, i would just do a fresh install15:46
holsteinif you dont need ubuntustudio, just fresh install xubuntu15:46
dsenatorthing is I can switch to the ubuntu on startup15:47
holsteindsenator: thats just destkop environment15:47
dsenatorhmm ok15:48
holsteindsenator: you arent switching to ubuntustudio.. and you likely dont need to15:48
holsteindsenator: if you think its an issue with the xfce screensaver, turn it off15:48
dsenatorthis is what I used ''~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video15:48
holsteindsenator: you are not using ubuntustudio though. and you likey dont need it15:48
holsteindsenator: we have a kernel too15:49
dsenatorwhen I load up I see ubuntu studio at the bottom of my desktop screen, how do you mean I dont use ubuntustudio15:50
holsteindsenator: we have a kernel too and you dont have it installed15:50
holsteindsenator: thats how i mean... you have installed some meta packages though15:50
dsenatorok15:50
holsteindsenator: try tty next time that happens15:50
holstein!tty15:50
ubottuTo get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login).  To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution15:50
dsenatortty???15:51
holsteindsenator: yes.. tty15:51
holstein!tty | dsenator15:51
ubottudsenator: please see above15:51
dsenatoryou mean next time ii have the blank screen i shd use the key combi15:51
holsteindsenator: correct15:51
holsteindsenator: then you will be able to sudo reboot15:51
holsteinand you will confirm that the machine is not locked up15:51
dsenatorhmmm15:52
dsenatorso please, tell me about the method i used to install studio15:52
holsteinif you have a PPA added for gnome,, that could be breaking something15:52
holsteindsenator: ?15:52
holsteindsenator: the method you used to add some of the ubuntustudtio metapackages??15:52
dsenatorwhat is wrong, missing or incomplete15:52
dsenator~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video15:52
holsteindsenator: i would install from CD15:52
dsenatorhmmm I see15:53
holsteindsenator: you can add our kernel too if you want.. but you likely dont need it.. or any of the other stuff15:53
dsenatori was hoping to not have to do that15:53
holsteindsenator: for example15:53
dsenatorour kernel if yu want... ???15:53
holsteindsenator: we ship a kernel.. not the one you are using.. but you likely dont need it15:54
holsteindsenator: you can just remove all those meta packages and insatll what you want15:54
holsteindsenator: for example.. if you are just going to use JACK and ardour.. just install JACK and ardour in the environment that you use, that is working that is not giving you a black screen15:55
dsenatorso whats the benefit of ubuntu studio to ubuntu15:55
dsenatorI know its low latency15:55
holsteindsenator: nope15:56
holsteindsenator: we have a lowlatency kernel though... and you are not using it15:56
holsteindsenator: though, you likely dont need it15:56
dsenatorwhy not15:56
holsteindsenator: you didnt install it.. and you likley dont need lowlatency15:56
dsenatorwhen yu say we, who is we??? illuminati... sorry kidding15:56
dsenatorbut what do you mean we15:56
holsteindsenator: we = ubuntustudio15:57
dsenatoroh15:57
holsteinubuntustudio has a lowlatency kernel. but you didnt install it15:57
dsenatorok PLEASE show me how to remove the stuffs I added and use your own15:57
holstein?15:57
holsteindsenator: sure.. just elaborate as to what you have and what you want15:58
holsteindsenator: if you arent doing software synths live or live audio effects, you dont need lowlatency15:58
holsteindsenator: if you have an internal sound care, that will be more limiting than the software15:58
dsenatorI see, so  yes I hav an internal sound card15:59
holsteindsenator: so, dont bother.. ubuntustudio is not magic15:59
holsteinit wont make your hardware any faster15:59
dsenatorand I also do some music audio stuff, or say wanna do them which made me think studio is right16:00
holsteindsenator: it might be... you shoud try it.. live16:00
dsenatorok16:01
holsteindsenator: then, you can decie if you want to fresh install to get a properly configured system, or continue "troubleshooting" with myself or one of the other volunteers16:01
holsteindecide*16:01
dsenatoryou said ealier on that ''you can just remove all those meta packages and insatll what you want''16:01
holsteindsenator: correct16:01
dsenatorand that I can use your kernel16:01
dsenatorcan we do that pls16:01
holsteindsenator: the metapackages just contain applications16:01
holsteindsenator: you can just install those applications16:01
holsteinif you are only going to use audactiy sometimes, you dont need ubuntustudio.. just install audactiy16:02
dsenatorhow do I remove them and use your low latency studio kernel16:02
holsteindsenator: you are mis-understanding me16:02
lopblopwell i must say, ubuntu studio is my fav of all the deb derivitives16:02
dsenatorI always had audacity even before this switch16:02
dsenatorexactly16:03
holsteindsenator: you have *most* of ubuntustudio16:03
dsenatorok16:03
holsteindsenator: id you want *all* of it.. finish installing the packages.. or reinstall16:03
holsteindsenator: if you dont need ubuntustudio, and you are having issues.. just use the pacakges you want16:03
dsenatorok... I understand you16:04
dsenatorI am saying... I wanna try studio cos of the perceived advabtages16:04
holsteindsenator: i would try our live CD.. see if you want/need it.. then just resinstall fresh16:04
dsenatorI surely want it16:04
holsteindsenator: if you have a PPA for gnome installed, that could be breaking things16:04
dsenatorok... how do i check16:04
dsenatorfor that16:04
holsteindsenator: did you add one?16:05
dsenatori dont know16:05
dsenatorI think so16:05
lopblopit would be in your software sources under settings in the launcher menu16:05
holsteindsenator: i would fresh install... i have no idea what is up with your install and you are implying you dont either16:05
dsenatorso if i fresh install studio, how about my files16:05
lopblopfor sure. save your /home folder and do a fresh install16:06
dsenatordo I loose anything16:06
dsenatorhmmm16:06
holsteindsenator: your files are beside the point.. you *will* lose them when that hard drive crashes.. it *will* die16:06
holsteindsenator: take this opportunity to plan for that event that *will* happen.. then you will never lose anything16:06
dsenatorwhat a nice way of saying harsh things16:07
dsenatornice16:07
lopblopanything you dont have multiple backups of stored in seperate locations is data you dont care about16:07
holsteinis data you had better not care about16:07
holsteingotta run.. cheers..16:11
lopblopenjoy16:12
dsenatorcheers guys thanks16:13
dsenatorwill ht back when i figure out what has to happen to with from all the options16:14
petruxhi guys17:44
petruxfirst contact with ubuntu studio :-)17:44
petruxbut I cannot get my wireless connection working (while the wired one is going fine)17:45
petruxlooking around, it seems it could be a driver issue. How can I check for the installed drivers and eventually install new ones?17:45
lopbloplspci or lsusb17:52
lopblopto find out what chip the wifi is17:52
lopblopyou may need to load special firmware17:53
petruxlet me check17:53
petruxlopblop: 02:05.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3872 [Prism 3] (rev 01)17:54
petruxDo you think I have to install a proper driver?17:55
lopblopwell to be honest i've never heared of that. feel free to google/bing/ whatever with me17:55
holsteinpetrux: i think that is the wired one17:57
holsteinpetrux: run lspci in the terminal and output the text to..17:57

ubottuHelp with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx17:57
lopblopprism sounds like wifi to me17:57
holsteinmight be...17:58
petruxyes, I'm talking about wifi17:58
petruxanyway, no broadcom17:58
petruxhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1470506/17:59
petruxholstein, here is the paste17:59
holsteinpetrux: i dont see any information when i search.. i would try #ubuntu since this is not an ubuntustudio specific issue18:00
holsteinpetrux: i might try a localized support channel.. might find someone with that hardware and experience with t18:00
holsteinit*18:00
lopblopthis looks promising:  http://hostap.epitest.fi/18:00
lopblopnope got ahead of myself nevermind18:01
holsteini agree that the Intersil Corporation ISL3872 [Prism 3] (rev 01) device is the wifi device18:01
petruxwell... I need some spoonfeeding, I'm quite a newbie... so any advice is really appreciated!18:02
holsteini might just grab some live CD's.. fire them up and see if anything supports the device... i would want ubuntu 10.04, 12.0418:02
holsteinpetrux: there seems to be very little information.. keep in mind, there is nothing in linux/ubntu preventing the hardware vendor from providing you with a driver18:03
holsteinif you try a few live CD's, you might find something that works with it.. that could help you add support in18:04
lopblopthis thing has been a problem for a long time it looks like since kernal 2.6. seeing a lot of posts saying it worked on 2.418:04
lopblopnot a lot of recent info18:04
holsteindriver support can be dropped. if its not maintained.. or just too old18:05
holsteinif it were me, i would try to replace the hardware18:05
lopblopyeah they arent expensive anymore. not worth the hassle but this looks promising: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.7.1/drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig18:06
lopbloplinked from http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/PCI_HERMES.html18:06
petruxit's a very old HW configuration, actually...18:06
lopblopunless you absolutely need packet injection, i'd upgrade the thing18:08
petruxcannot upgrade actually18:11
petruxthe card is integrated18:11
lopblopno USB or PCMCIA you could use?18:11
petruxah, ok... you mean getting a new (external) wireless card?18:13
holstein*any* other wifi hardware.. assuming you eed wifi18:13
holsteinneed*18:13
lopblopbefore that maybe try installing NDIS wrapper just to make sure its not an easy fix18:14
lopblopbut if that doesnt work get an extern USB dongle WiFi or something18:14
holsteinyeah.. i have a card that works well with ndis actually18:14
holsteinslipped my mind.. ndisgtk18:14
lopblopASUS USN-N13   is what i use. got a bunch of them for cheap a few years back and they work out of the box for pretty much every system i've ever plugged em into. they even have Win98/ME/NT drivers available18:17
