| redderhs | anyone here compile mame before? | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| redderhs | I'm trying to apply a nonag/hi-score patch to the source. I am not sure how to do it and was wondering if any of you knew how. | 00:31 |
| redderhs | it's pretty simple to do in windows as there's tools to do all the work for you. | 00:32 |
| BWMerlin | I am having trouble getting a hdd to appear under lubuntu | 00:46 |
| BWMerlin | the hdd works fine and I can still boot to it (it contains my windows install which I was using up until yesterday) but for some reason lubuntu is not mounting it | 00:46 |
| BWMerlin | it shows up both under the disks utility and under gparted | 00:47 |
| holstein | redderhs: i usually try native apps in the default repos. then i look for a .deb ..then i might try a PPA https://launchpad.net/~c.falco/+archive/mame | 01:02 |
| holstein | !mount | 01:03 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 01:03 |
| holstein | BWMerlin: might be as simple as mounting it properly | 01:03 |
| holstein | BWMerlin: open a terminal and see that it is in "sudo fdisk -l" | 01:03 |
| BWMerlin | holstein: it is listed as sdc with sdc1 | 01:08 |
| holstein | BWMerlin: so you follow the mount procedure,and try and mount it properly from the commandline, and you'll either get it mounted, or see helpful output | 01:12 |
| BWMerlin | I got this error message mount: /dev/sdc1 is not a block device | 01:19 |
| BWMerlin | and when I try on sdc I get this error message mount: unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member' | 01:20 |
| holstein | BWMerlin: i would check the format.. maybe its not a format linux reads. looks like a raid drive | 01:29 |
| BWMerlin | it shouldn't be | 01:29 |
| BWMerlin | it was a very long time ago but I fresh installed it about a year ago onto a different motherboard | 01:30 |
| BWMerlin | so it should just be ntfs | 01:30 |
| BWMerlin | fdisk -l /dev/sdc says 2048 976771071 488384512 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT | 01:30 |
| holstein | sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /media | 01:33 |
| holstein | i would confirm what it is... if you can see it in windows, look and see what it is... | 01:34 |
| BWMerlin | It is my Windows install | 01:34 |
| BWMerlin | still works as I was using up until yesterday | 01:35 |
| BWMerlin | I booted to it and ran a chkdsk on it as well and all is fine | 01:35 |
| BWMerlin | Error opening '/dev/sdc1': No such device or address | 01:36 |
| BWMerlin | Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': No such device or address | 01:36 |
| BWMerlin | Either the device is missing or it's powered down, or you have | 01:36 |
| BWMerlin | SoftRAID hardware and must use an activated, different device under | 01:36 |
| BWMerlin | /dev/mapper/, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1) to mount NTFS. | 01:36 |
| BWMerlin | Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for help. | 01:36 |
| holstein | BWMerlin: thats what it looks like to me.. a raid | 01:36 |
| BWMerlin | I wonder why it is in raid | 01:36 |
| holstein | BWMerlin: i dont know your windows configuration | 01:36 |
| BWMerlin | and it seems i don't either | 01:37 |
| holstein | !dmraid | 01:37 |
| holstein | that would be just too easy... | 01:37 |
| BWMerlin | http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=670463 here mentions I can use sudo dmraid -rE /dev/sdc to clear the raid metadata | 01:37 |
| holstein | !info dmraid | 01:37 |
| ubottu | dmraid (source: dmraid): Device-Mapper Software RAID support tool. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.0.rc16-4.1ubuntu9 (quantal), package size 25 kB, installed size 136 kB | 01:37 |
| holstein | what would i do? make another drive to "share" between windows and linux | 01:38 |
| holstein | i think you can break that windows install | 01:38 |
| holstein | i would just use dropbox or a USB stick | 01:38 |
| BWMerlin | I think I will boot into Windows one last time and shadow protect it | 01:38 |
| holstein | and next time, think and plan for sharing from the first | 01:38 |
| BWMerlin | then I can see about running the raid metadata cleaner | 01:39 |
| BWMerlin | I don't want to share | 01:39 |
| holstein | then why mount it? | 01:39 |
| BWMerlin | I just want to retrieve files when I need them | 01:39 |
| holstein | just boot the OS | 01:39 |
| holstein | if you want to "retrieve files" thats what i am implying by sharing | 01:39 |
| holstein | a windows/linux friendly partition labeled "data" for example | 01:40 |
| BWMerlin | thought you were implying that I would be booting both OS and copying files back and forth | 01:40 |
| holstein | nope.. a place that any OS can access... a USB stick.. or dropbox that just syncs up on both OS's | 01:40 |
| BWMerlin | I only really want to access saved configurations so I can copy them to lubuntu | 01:41 |
| BWMerlin | at this stage all going well I won't need to use Windows | 01:41 |
| holstein | im just suggesting ways you can access said data.. configs or whatever.. you drop them in dropbox, or sync them to a USB stick.. or have a friendly partition in common | 01:43 |
| DJRWolf | Trying to get a Toshiba Satellite U305-S7446 with Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wifi to connect. Wifi Radar does not get past the acquiring DHCP part. Suggestions? | 02:02 |
| holstein | i would try connecting to something without encryption to rule out a fat-finger password.. i would try the windows driver via ndisgtk.. i would try another version of the linux kernel which i usually do with live CD's | 02:05 |
| DJRWolf | ok, will do once I get a chance, thanks | 02:06 |
| DJRWolf | if anyone ealts has a suggestion before I leave channel, the more ideas the better :) | 02:06 |
| holstein | other that you making an error connecting, a different driver is really the only option | 02:07 |
| holstein | other than* | 02:07 |
| Ro | Hello, I am a musician. Could someone please give me a link or explain to me the advantages and drawbacks of making my audio realtime, and if I do chose to do so, tell me how to do it? | 02:50 |
| Ro | by the way I have an older computer | 02:50 |
| holstein | Ro: if you have an internal sound card and an old box, you wont get RT | 02:51 |
| holstein | you dont need RT anyways likely | 02:51 |
| holstein | if you do software synths and realtime effects, you need lower latency, otherwise, you dont | 02:52 |
| holstein | check #ubuntustudio or #opensourcemusicians | 02:52 |
| jude0 | hi Ro | 02:52 |
| holstein | AVlinux is a great live audio distro as well | 02:52 |
| holstein | Ro: there is a lowlatency kernel in the default repos, that you can use with lubuntu | 02:53 |
| Ro | uhm, I am going to use a softsynth through wine | 02:53 |
| jude0 | which softsynth out of curiosity | 02:53 |
| Ro | abox2, it is a really really awesome modular synth that I want to run inside jack | 02:54 |
| Ro | would you by any chance know how to do that? | 02:54 |
| jude0 | jack always infuriated me | 02:54 |
| Ro | or should I go to one of those channels? | 02:54 |
| Ro | I need to learn how to use it. I demand complete moduability with my musical component | 02:54 |
| holstein | Ro: you should just use the code native in windows | 02:55 |
| holstein | i use JACK regularly | 02:55 |
| Ro | holstein, how do you mean? Sorry I am not that familiar with jack | 02:55 |
| jude0 | Ro: did you get all your driver issues figured out? | 02:55 |
| Ro | jude0, Yes I did. I just took the goddamn thing out, and now I have no problems; sailing on the onboard video | 02:55 |
| jude0 | ha thats one solution | 02:56 |
| Ro | I think I have had a problem with it before back when my hard disk drive got smashed and I had only a livecd to run on | 02:56 |
| holstein | Ro: try and watch the language in the official support channels | 02:57 |
| holstein | Ro: http://jackaudio.org/ | 02:58 |
| holstein | Ro: thats what i use with my firewire device | 02:58 |
| Ro | Yes, jack. I want to learn how to use it. I want to be able to connect every program I use to its own audio port so I can use it in abox | 02:58 |
| holstein | http://holstein.bandcamp.com/ was made with ubuntu and FOSS | 02:58 |
| Ro | so I can route it in abox* | 02:59 |
| Ro | Awesome, music :D | 02:59 |
| holstein | if you want to use windows software, i would use windows | 02:59 |
| jude0 | i personally prefer just to midi pipe everything out to a hardware synth | 02:59 |
| holstein | JACK can route to hardware or software.. or both | 02:59 |
| Ro | Yes but I want to use windows and linux software together. I really want to try rosegarden and my next main daw, and I am really intrigued by all the standalone synths avalible for linux | 03:00 |
| holstein | Ro: RG is not great as a DAW | 03:00 |
| Ro | abox is the only one I need, and it is really extremely light | 03:00 |
| holstein | ardour3 is about to release and is in beta | 03:00 |
| holstein | most folks use qtractor or rosegarden with ardour2 now | 03:01 |
| holstein | and connect via JACK | 03:01 |
| holstein | JACK is the key | 03:01 |
| holstein | and decent hardware | 03:01 |
| holstein | Ro: i wouldnt expect to have much luck with wine and lowlatency | 03:01 |
| Ro | could I install asio on wine? | 03:01 |
| holstein | Ro: there is a project my friend runs called KXstudio #kxstudio http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/ | 03:02 |
| holstein | Ro: he runs PPA's for ubuntu that can be used with any of the variants and tries to support supportable windows vst's | 03:02 |
| holstein | Ro: you can do what you like | 03:02 |
| holstein | Ro: im just telling you out of experience not to expect much | 03:02 |
| holstein | Ro: if you want to use windows software, use windows | 03:03 |
| holstein | can you get software to do what you want in linux? sure | 03:03 |
| Ro | then can you point me to a standalone modular synth that works well with jack, and is very powerful? | 03:04 |
| holstein | if i were you, i would download either ubuntustudio or avlinux and try them live | 03:04 |
| holstein | you can test JACK and all the software there and not change your computer | 03:04 |
| Ro | I do not have a DVD drive to use DVDs with | 03:04 |
| holstein | Ro: *everything* works well with jack | 03:04 |
| holstein | Ro: you cn boot with a USB | 03:05 |
| holstein | Ro: you dont have to take my suggestion... you can just install the ubunstudio software in lubuntu | 03:05 |
| holstein | Ro: you can open the package manager of your choise and search 'ubuntustudio' and install the things that dont deal with the theme | 03:05 |
| Ro | Hmmmm | 03:05 |
| holstein | then you can run the software in lxde.. you can install the lowlwatency kernel as well if you need/want it | 03:06 |
| Ro | is there ever any problems in linux when it comes to downloading things twice? | 03:06 |
| Ro | like oh say if I install jack twice by accident | 03:06 |
| holstein | Ro: thats what package management is about | 03:06 |
| Ro | cool | 03:07 |
| holstein | Ro: you cant have 2 things installed like that | 03:07 |
| holstein | i mean, you can, but you wont | 03:07 |
| Ro | so I shouldn't worry? | 03:07 |
| jude0 | Ro, remember synaptic, start with that | 03:07 |
| Ro | right | 03:07 |
| holstein | http://wootangent.net/category/linux/ is my friend [lsd] in #opensourcemusicians who uses ubuntu for music creation.. as well as external synths as jude0 suggested | 03:07 |
| holstein | http://pneuman.bandcamp.com/ | 03:08 |
| holstein | i dont do a lot of electronic music, but my friends do | 03:08 |
| Ro | I see, by the way I couldn't get your bandcamp to load, got a soundcloud or something? | 03:08 |
| holstein | i dont use soundcloud for that.. i use it for students mostly | 03:09 |
| Ro | you teach? | 03:09 |
| holstein | Ro: some.. i only have a few students right now | 03:10 |
| Ro | I see, very neat | 03:10 |
| Ro | what do you teach? | 03:11 |
| holstein | http://www.artofliferecords.com/open.html | 03:11 |
| holstein | Ro: bass, guitar... whatever i hae a few vocal students i teach theory and improv | 03:11 |
| Ro | wow, very cool. | 03:12 |
| Ro | heh, you have a pretty good sound | 03:16 |
| holstein | thanks.. we should carry this to the #lubuntu-offtopic or the #opensourcemusicians | 03:17 |
| Ro | indeed. | 03:19 |
| Ro | so what channel would be my best bet to try and find a standalone modular synth to my liking? | 03:19 |
| holstein | Ro: a music related one.. such as the one i suggested | 03:24 |
| holstein | Ro: #opensourcemusicians ..you can try the lau one, but we have a lot of traffic in the OSM channel | 03:24 |
| Ro | thank you for all your help | 03:25 |
| holstein | Ro: cheers.. | 03:25 |
| Ro | off onto the neverending quest for "that sound" | 03:25 |
| holstein | Ro: like most things, the journey is the destination | 03:31 |
| sunny_ | Hi :-) | 07:09 |

| sunny_ | How can I add the shut down and restart options to the desktop? | 07:10 |
| sunny_ | Is there a way to remove things I don't need from lunching at startup to make the system boot faster? | 07:11 |
| sunny_ | And can I remove the password thing that keeps popping? | 07:34 |
| ctrlz | Hi, how can i rotate the webcam in skype? I see it upside down. Lubuntu 12.10 x64 on asus u36sd here | 10:14 |
| tonycoos | \help | 12:11 |
| tonycoos | aw... wrong way. sorry! | 12:11 |
| lessshaste | how do I change the default app for word docs from abiword to libreoffice? | 16:58 |
| zleap | right click and select open with | 17:10 |
| zleap | then open with again and you get a list of apps in a dialogue box with a tick box at the bottom to set to default | 17:11 |
| zleap | lessshaste, is that helpful | 17:12 |
| lessshaste | zleap, so I need to save a word doc once to do that? | 17:13 |
| lessshaste | zleap, I am trying to get gmail to open word docs with libreoffice | 17:13 |
| lessshaste | zleap, how do I even open up a file browser? I am a terminal sort of guy :) | 17:13 |
| zleap | that method changes the default app you open file with | 17:14 |
| zleap | i don't want to change things locally but i just rightclicked on a file .odt | 17:14 |
| lessshaste | ok cool.. so how do I open a file browser? | 17:14 |
| zleap | well from lxterminal type firefox | 17:15 |
| lessshaste | you use firefox as a file browser? | 17:16 |
| holstein | i would just open the document where you want it to be opened | 17:17 |
| holstein | if its a step of convenience you are looking for, try and notice when it is happeneing and elaborate as to what is happening and what you want to have happen | 17:18 |
| lessshaste | holstein, I would normally open it by clicking in gmail.. there I have no options and abiword opens | 17:18 |
| lessshaste | holstein, so I have been advised to save a word file and then right click from a file browser | 17:18 |
| lessshaste | holstein, I just wnt to know how to open a file browser to do this :) | 17:19 |
| holstein | lessshaste: i would open it from the menu... or just open a location | 17:19 |
| lessshaste | holstein, which app in the menu? | 17:20 |
| holstein | lessshaste: i dont have lubuntu running in front of me, but it should literally say "file browser" | 17:20 |
| holstein | lessshaste: its pcmanfm AFAIK | 17:20 |
| inductiveload | lessshaste: accessories->File Manager PcManFM | 17:20 |
| lessshaste | I think I need to install that | 17:21 |
| holstein | lessshaste: you can launch it ffrom the terminal too.. pcmanfm in a terminal | 17:21 |
| holstein | lessshaste: lubuntu ships with a file manager... ships with pcmanfm | 17:21 |
| lessshaste | nope it';s installed.. | 17:21 |
| lessshaste | hmm | 17:21 |
| lessshaste | ah found it :) | 17:21 |
| holstein | you should be able to right click and mess with the defaults | 17:22 |
| holstein | OR, just navigate to the file you want to open from the software you want to use | 17:22 |
| lessshaste | thanks | 17:22 |
| lessshaste | v. helpful | 17:22 |
| inductiveload | lessshaste: you can bind the filetype to a default application with xdg-mime | 17:32 |
| lessshaste | thanks.. I am hoping the current method has worked | 17:33 |
| inductiveload | ok | 17:35 |
