guest-2uz4bzHello03:59
cfhowlettguest-2uz4bz, greetings.04:01
guest-2uz4bzI'm hyaving a bit of a problem04:04
cfhowlettguest-2uz4bz, state the issue with details please04:04
guest-2uz4bzI just installed studio 12.10 , and all of a sudden there is some kind of boot loop at the login screen, so I'm using the guest acc now04:05
guest-2uz4bzI mean login loop04:05
cfhowlettguest-2uz4bz, so you can't login at all then?04:06
guest-2uz4bzI can login using the ctrl+alt+f1, but not with the normal gui04:07
cfhowlettguest-2uz4bz, see the link ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/ubuntu-12-10-gets-stuck-in-a-login-loop04:09
guest-2uz4bzchown username:username .Xauthority04:14
guest-2uz4bzI put this into the terminal?04:14
cfhowlettguest-204:15
guest-2uz4bzyes?04:15
cfhowlettyes.  reboot into single user mode and do the fix04:15
testingI'm the same one from before04:39
testingthe guest04:39
testingMy "fix"04:39
cfhowletttesting, restate your issue.  we don't remember04:39
testingI was in a login loop04:39
cfhowletttesting, ah yes. remembering now ...04:40
testingas I was saying, my "fix" was just to make a new account (this one) and just scrapping the old one04:41
cfhowletttesting, nicely done.  I take it everything works properly now?04:41
testingIt seems to, I logged in and out a few times before this and its fine!04:42

damianosWhile I'm not new to linux, I am a total newb when it comes to linux audio production. I just installed 12.10 into vmware fusion to play around with it. My sound is all messed up. It's a slow distorted stutter and it's system wide. Any tips on configuring 12.10 in a VMware VM?17:36
holsteindamianos: i wouldnt expect to use JACK in vm17:37
holsteini would just run the live CD17:37
damianosThat's a bummer. I can't save any work that way17:37
holsteindamianos: ?17:38
holsteindamianos: you save it where ever you like17:38
holsteindamianos: you can literally save it to the same exact place you are saving now, if you like17:38
holsteindamianos: the "bummer" is, you cant expect JACK to work well on virtual hardware17:39
holsteinyou can elaborate as to what your needs are though, ,since JACK might be overkill for your purposes17:39
holsteincould be that you could just add the pacakges to the current distro you are using17:39
damianosI'm on a mac and use linux VMs for a web development server. I unfortunately don't have a dedicated box for this right now17:41
holsteindamianos: you can run the live CD on the intel mac17:42
holsteindamianos: you can run JACK and some of the other software on OSX natively17:42
holsteindamianos: its not a limiation, nor an issue with JACK.. its more a limitation of the virtual hardware17:42
damianosOh I know17:42
damianosVMware has been a pain17:43
holsteindamianos: i personally dont suggest using jack with internal sound cards, much less fake ones17:43
damianosmouse issues too17:43
damianosok then17:43
holsteindamianos: well, virtualization in general.. though, i usually use virtualbox17:43
holsteindamianos: but,, the live CD should give you a decent experience to test with17:43
damianosok so generally VM's are a no go when it comes to ALSA and JACK17:43
damianosactually, I have an old Pentium D board sitting on a shelf. Maybe I can recycle some parts and put it on that17:44
holsteindamianos: jack.. just jack17:45
holsteindamianos: i woud try it.. you might not get great performance, but you could see what is capable17:45
holsteinOR, reboot the mac holding down the C key and try it there.. saving the work to a USB stick, or the hard drive17:46
holsteinsibelius is "self contained" though, and doesnt "require" any more midi/audio applications17:46
holstein^^ sorry.. wrong window17:47
damianoslol I figured17:47
damianosactually low powered is good for me17:47
holsteinmight be for you.. but for content creation, you might want more17:48
holsteini use jack on a netbook17:48
holsteini have realistic expectations17:48
holsteini set the latency high, and i dont edit on it17:48
damianosI'm looking to put together an appliance for guitar processing17:48
holsteinjust track... in the field.. since its small17:48
holsteindamianos: you'll want a nice card17:48
holsteindamianos: low latency17:48
damianosI have an maudio firewire solo kicking around17:48
holsteindamianos: you wont do that with *any* internal sounc card17:48
holsteinsound*17:49
holsteindamianos: i use a firewire devcie17:49
holsteindevice*17:49
holsteinyou'll want to set something up and start tweaking17:49
holstein you'll want to hang in #opensourcemusicans17:49
holsteinhaving done what you are trying to do.. i dont do it17:49
damianosyes but I can still test my Pd patches and just have Pd generate the tones. That would at least eliminate the need for round trip17:49
holsteindamianos: nah,.. its about the time when you hit the string, and the sound card "proecesses" it, and spits it out17:50
holsteindoing *no* precessing at all in the box. it still has to pull it in analog, and convert it to digital, and convert it back, and spit it out17:51
damianoswell here is my plan. Have a pd patch with fiddle to process incoming signal and send the midi through jack to trigger linux sampler17:51
holsteindamianos: sure17:51
holsteindamianos: and you *can*17:51
holsteindamianos: you'll need a nice card, and a fast machine17:51
damianoseven for just 4 channels?17:51
holsteindamianos: set it up and test.. with the live CD17:52
holsteindamianos: i use 8 at a time typically17:52
damianosare there maudio firewire drivers around? Last time I checked a couple of years ago there was nothing except for the delta series17:53
holsteindamianos: i typically read and search, and trust nothing i read or search17:54
holsteini plug it in, and test with a live CD17:54
holsteini save reciepts17:55
holsteindamianos: i would literally get it out.. fire up the live CD.. open up JACK and seclect the firewire driver and see17:55
holsteinalso, the chipset.. the agere chipsets the macs usually use are awful17:55
holsteini have texas instruments chipsets that i have researched and tested17:55
holsteinhttp://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list17:56
holsteina kernel update, or JACK.. or ffado, and the device that worked could break17:56
holsteinor, become fully functional17:56
holsteini typically test with an AVLinux live CD and the ubuntustudio liveCD's... i like to see different alsa/JACK/ffado/kernel versions running on that particual hardware17:57
damianoswell it says on the site you linked that my firewire device "reported to work"17:58
holsteindamianos: cool.. thats typically a good sign17:59
damianosI think I'll slap that motherboard into a box in here and check17:59
holsteinthat means you can usually make it work17:59
holsteindamianos: the issue is.. if you plug it in and it doesnt work... who can do anything about it?17:59
holsteinmaudio wont17:59
damianosthere is also a creative audigy2zs in there in the PCI slot17:59
holsteinffado cant17:59
holsteinwe cant either.. so, i usualy just fire it up and try firsthand17:59
damianosI don't care about that17:59
holsteindamianos: the creative is more for playback.. not content creation18:00
holsteindamianos: i put it onpar with an internal sound card.. but it wont hurt to try it18:00
damianosin the long run I'll be using one of theseā€¦ http://www.minidsp.com/products/usb-audio-interface/usbstreamer18:00
holsteini dont trust usb hardware wither18:00
holsteineither*18:00
damianosWhat I'd like to use the creative card for is the midi interface and the firewire port18:01
holsteinsome use them for exactly what you are trying though... with pd.. over in #opensourcemusicians18:01
_raven_hi18:32
_raven_do you know about any commandline mastering tool which is able to receive and transmit streams from/to an icecast server?18:32
