[00:12] OK, tired the last few weeks [00:13] or is chit chat kewl here as well [00:13] i have been dead beat myself [00:13] You can see a new channel open? [00:14] yup [00:14] Thats private === Lumpy is now known as Lump|AFK [13:30] "I don't think ubuntu studio is even maintained. They just package a bunch of crap together and in theory would work. I don't think they do bug fixes or anything like that." === Lump|AFK is now known as Lumpy [13:30] Lotion...plus...gauze... >_> [13:31] This was on a prominent Linux pro audio forum. [13:31] Can anyone comment on how accurate this is? o.O === Lumpy is now known as Lump|AFK === len_ is now known as len-nb === Lump|AFK is now known as Lumpy [15:01] hello all.... [15:18] Hello again, smartboyhw ;) [15:18] contrapunctus, hello [15:20] saidinesh5: Mate, where you from? [15:20] hey contrapunctus..... i m from India.... [15:20] ssup? [15:20] Me too :) [15:20] oh? [15:20] from? [15:20] Delhi ^^ [15:20] Ah [15:20] Hyd [15:20] ssup? [15:21] Didn't know there were other UbuntuStudio folks in India! :) [15:21] You a dev? [15:21] Ah well...... not of ubuntu studio.... i work on a different software [15:21] which i someday [15:21] want to get included into ubuntu studio [15:22] let me guess.... you stumbled across ubuntu studio from that coursera course? :P [15:22] Coursera course? O.o [15:22] Naw [15:22] Ah [15:22] it started right today [15:22] Wanted to stop using Windows...tried installing Ubuntu LTS (the very first one) [15:22] digital sound design [15:22] Aah [15:23] lol what do you mean by the very first one? [15:23] The first LTS [15:23] you mean the 6.04 or somethin? [15:23] Yeah. [15:23] O_O [15:23] where did you even get that DVD? [15:23] Real crappy choice for a beginner, abandoned it for AVLinux soon after [15:23] Ahh you mean back when you started..... [15:23] lol [15:23] Settled on Ubuntu Studio+KXstudio since the last few months [15:24] I got it off the internet, lol. [15:24] ya i guess i gave ubuntu studio a try back during 8.04 days i guess [15:24] Ah yes [15:24] KXStudio is quite nice....... [15:24] kudos to falktx [15:24] Hell yeah. [15:24] You do music as well? o.o [15:25] yep [15:28] Back to practice ^^ [15:46] holstein, write me a testimonial at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/smartboyhw please:) [15:50] astraljava, could you also write one for me? [16:59] hey holstein are there any requirement to join the dev team over there at launchpad? [17:00] Lumpy: not sure [17:00] Lumpy: Yes [17:00] Lumpy: lets ask scott when he's around [17:00] maybe zequence can do it? [17:01] The dev team means you get access to Ubuntu Studio bzr branches, and a lot of other things. [17:01] Lumpy: im sure we can get you envolved [17:01] You don't need that in order to help out with development though [17:01] Lumpy: What is it that you are most interested in doing? [17:01] i would certainly be willing to test things [17:01] i already always report crashes and such [17:02] if they are relaqtively stable i would be willing to go to nightly builds [17:02] Lumpy: We don't have a procedure for that yet, but you are always welcome to install the development release [17:02] And do test installs as well [17:03] We don't really require doing install tests much right now [17:03] okay, i will look into that in the next few days [17:03] i need to get back to making nickles and dimes on the machine atm [17:03] so no installs today [17:03] but i am sure i can set up another partition [17:03] As for individual applications, the desktop, and things like that, I guess it's good to just try things out, and if you find a bug, report it. [17:03] i think i have like six operating systems on the beast atm [17:04] i use xfce for my desktop on my resource deprived machine [17:04] I have one install of every 32 and 64 bit since 12.04, only for testing atm [17:04] Plus a development platform, using Quantal [17:05] I only have one 64 bit machine and it is an oddball [17:06] a mac G5 [17:06] running xubuntu [17:08] Lumpy: You don't need both. [17:08] I have all of those only because I need to test the lowlatency kernel every time I update it [17:09] oh i didn't think that... just letting you know what i do have was all [17:09] i don't run the low latency in studio atm [17:09] Lumpy: You'd be fine with just the development release of Ubuntu Studio for whatever arch you have, currently 13.04 32bit [17:09] but i do in tango studio [17:12] is tango using our lowlatency kernel? [17:12] PPC support is brutal [17:13] i know that on the PPC [17:13] it took me almost two weeks just to get something installed [17:13] i was just explaing to someone what a drag it can be [17:13] and i am not sure what kernel tango is using exactly [17:13] had a G4.. a 700mhz.. i was just saying, move on and let it go [17:13] you can dig a computer like that out of the trash these days [17:13] 99% of the time the machine is running in your 12.04 with the generic kernel [17:14] a 64bit G5 is a bit more of a toss up though [17:14] i would have to boot the os and do a uname to be sure [17:14] thats still got some life left [17:14] it is one of the real early ones [17:14] two single core 64 bit cpus [17:14] i run one G4 X less and headless sometimes [17:14] but it saves me about 30% on post production matters [17:15] * Lumpy timed it with a stop watch and compared it to his 32 bit dual core intel [17:15] Lumpy: Testing is actually very important for us. We need to catch bugs, and report them upstream much sooner, and more agressively than in the past [17:15] i would be willing to do that [17:15] and i would love to see if i can get this jack running on my PPC [17:16] Lumpy: Won't work [17:16] Lumpy: i didnt have very good luck [17:16] jackd1, but not jackd2 [17:16] but that is not a real critical issue [17:16] There's a bug in jackd2 that stops it from working on PPC [17:16] it runs great on the dual core 32 bit [17:16] brb [17:17] I got an iBook3 a few weeks ago. Installed Debian. Managed to compile a -rt kernel for it. But, jackd2 didn't work [17:17] * zequence is going running [17:22] i wish i could run anymore [17:22] i have to settle for walks [17:22] my back and knees won't take the running anymore [18:37] Lumpy: If you like, i could introduce you to some of the structure we have for development [18:37] Lumpy: We follow blueprints. A blueprint for us is sort of like a topic. Each blueprint has a set of work items that we try get done [18:38] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Blueprints [18:39] Lumpy: Here's an example of a blueprint on launchpad. It's called workflows, and is the root for all our workflows https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-ubuntustudio-r-workflows [18:39] You can click the clouds below to get to other related blueprints, up and down the tree of dependencies [18:41] Lumpy: If you find something you feel you can do, just add yourself to the work item. If you come with ideas, talk with someone about it, or just add a workitem yourself. It takes a little time to get into managing that stuff [19:02] i will look it over a bit later today or tomorrow [19:02] unfortunately i need to crank out some online work to pay the bills === Lumpy is now known as Lump|AFK
