packetfrogWhat controls the sound in US?01:08
packetfrogfor some reason with my volume at 100% i am getting nothing.01:08
holsteinpacketfrog: ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. so01:17
holstein!sound01:17
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.01:17
holsteinpacketfrog: i usually take it slow, and try the obvious.. the mute buttons.. etc01:17
packetfrogI have done that01:21
packetfrogand us is not u01:21
packetfrogubuntu generally has gnome and its apps01:21
holsteinnah01:21
packetfrogthis is xfce so it does not use some of the same things01:21
holsteinubuntustduio *is* ubuntu01:21
holsteingnome and xfce are GTK.. we are GTK01:21
packetfrogOk well commands that use ubuntu/gnome dont work.01:21
holsteinsame repos as ubuntu01:21
holsteinpluse audio01:22
holsteinpacketfrog: they do01:22
packetfrogsome times.01:22
holsteinpacketfrog: what are you trying? and what doesnt work? what is the error?01:22
packetfrogI turn my volume up to 100% and still get no sound. :)01:26
packetfrogI understand ubuntustudio is just a metapackage/s on top of ubuntu   but some of the gnome apps and what not are not installed by default.01:27
packetfrogWas all I was saying.01:27
packetfrogOr thinking01:27
holsteinpacketfrog: cool01:28
packetfrogand I am not saying or arguing that I am right.  just from my weeks worth of tinkering   ubuntu forum commands sometimes are not working as the packages are not on here.01:28
holsteinpacketfrog: whast most relevant to our converstation is, pulse is the same.. alsa too01:28
packetfrogoic.01:28
holsteinpacketfrog: what commands?01:28
holsteinalsamixer?01:28
holsteinhave you installed pavucontrol?01:28
packetfroggnome-screensaver  is an example.  I think it is installed by default on ubuntu  but not on here.01:29
packetfrogNo01:29
packetfrogIt is installed though01:30
packetfrogjust checked01:30
holsteinpacketfrog: i wouldnt "think"i would test01:30
holsteinand its not installed01:30
holsteinwe are not using gnome201:30
holsteinwe are using mostly xubuntu as the default.. so, the xfce screensaver is what we areusing01:31
holsteinif you want the one from gnome or unity, or main ubuntu.. or any of the other official ubuntu's, we all share the same repos01:31
packetfrogI was not saying I wanted it.01:32
packetfrogI was trying to help someone else figure out how to lock there screen and googled it01:32
packetfrogthe command given on a similar question in ubuntu forums was with gnome-screensaver  so i tried it  and found out i dont have that package01:32
packetfrogI dont need it or want it.  was just trying to test it before i told someone and noticed i dont have it ....01:32
packetfrog:P01:32
holsteinwe use the xfce locker01:34
packetfrogI realize this. :)01:34
holsteinpacketfrog: if you want, you can pretty much use the xubuntu help suggestions01:34
packetfrogmy point was that not all things are the same as ubuntu01:34
holsteinpacketfrog: ubuntu is not using gnome anymore01:34
holsteinpacketfrog: and we can stop with this. my only point is.. the core for audio, out of the box, is the same01:34
Unit193At least not gnome-shell.01:34
holsteinpacketfrog: we use JACK, but its not running out of the box01:35
packetfrogafk01:35
holsteinpacketfrog: anything helpful you see for troubleshooting your audio issue for ubuntu, or xubuntu will apply to ubuntustudio01:35
packetfrogThank you. :) I was not aware this is basically xubuntu01:47
holsteinwell, its not.. they are *all* ubuntu01:48
holsteinbut, for support purposes, you can use xubuntu help avenues, as suggested in the /topic01:48

IBM_CLONEHello folks and greetings. Does UbuntuStudio support Native Instruments? I have for Windows Audio Kontrol but read in a few places that Linux is supporting it. I purchased the Windows version and I found that there is a Ubuntu version of Guitar Rig so it seems but it is a vacuum tube program. Any comments?09:14
cfhowlettIBM_CLONE, answer: it depends ...09:16
IBM_CLONEIt is called GuitarIX09:17
IBM_CLONEI was reading about latency issues. I am installing for the first time right now with VBOX Oracle and was wondering about real time throughput.09:18
IBM_CLONEI know I will experiment with it and I like the speed in which it works on my laptop, however, I haven't used any programs but just clicked on some of them.09:20
cfhowlettIBM_CLONE, VBOX obviously is slower than native install ... but put in guest additions and play around09:21
IBM_CLONEI do know that GuitarIX is an interesting program as I being a lead guitarist and a Radio Broadcast Engineer. It is a vacuum program and am very interested in the hard work that the programmers put into the different types of tubes and selection.09:22
cfhowlettIBM_CLONE, google up linux audio.  I think you'll find plenty to occupy your mind09:22
IBM_CLONEI have plenty to occupy my mind already,   :)   Home repair and Computer Science is time occupational. :)09:23
IBM_CLONEI really admire the work that I have read on the kernel and programs on the Studio install.09:24
cfhowlettIBM_CLONE, it has come quite a ways ...09:25
IBM_CLONEI have read quite a bit about the progress. I was impressed that it is solely designed for professionals.09:26
cfhowlett??? I think I'd have to state that there is PLENTY of content and potential for new users and amateurs09:27
IBM_CLONEMost of the junk you see with Windows OS is just plain nonsense unless you spend a considerable amount of money for a serious program and then there are financial constraints as well as closed source software.09:28
IBM_CLONEThe other issue is that you have to purchase the software before trying it unless you use bit-torrents and then purchase it because it finally does what it says.09:29
IBM_CLONEAs I speak I am installing it for the second time but on my desktop.09:31
IBM_CLONE6 hours ago I installed it for the first time and had to install it on my desktop but in Virtual Box. I hope VBOX is not an issue.09:32
IBM_CLONEI bought for $3.00 U.S. Dollars a 1 TeraByte hard drive at a thrift store and found that it was full of almost 600 moves or more and the drive was sold because whoever tried to use the disk did not consider that it was formatted with Linux instead of Windows and was sold for $3.00  I downloaded UbuntuStudio initially to play the vids.09:34
IBM_CLONEThen I found out lots of goodies with UbuntuStudio.09:35
cfhowlettnice thrift store treasure09:35
IBM_CLONESure was. :)   I went back to the woman and gave her an xtra $5.00 and told her it was worth more. She gave me a kiss on the cheek and said: "Thanks for your honesty."09:36
cfhowlettnice one09:36
IBM_CLONEYou can find lots of goodies not only at the Goodwill Thrift Store but also the Salvation Army Store.09:37
IBM_CLONEI bought a CISCO Router at Goodwill for $5.0009:38
IBM_CLONERack mount may I say. hehe09:38
IBM_CLONEThe Goodwill store that I go to has BINS and BINS of CD and DVD disk just one on top of another selling for $1.00 each.09:40
IBM_CLONEI am glad there is a movement with Linux to support video, audio and graphix all in one kernel along with other nice features.09:43
IBM_CLONEThe install takes a long time. I suppose it is because of the installation downloads and updates.09:44
cfhowlettIBM_CLONE, 12.4.2???09:44
IBM_CLONEI think so. I went to the official website and used a bit-torrent to download it.09:45
cfhowlettIBM_CLONE, good09:46
IBM_CLONEInstallation just completed and now re-booting.09:46
IBM_CLONEIt is Ubuntu 12.0409:47
cfhowlettso NOT studio?09:48
IBM_CLONEIt is studio but on the splash screen it states Ubuntu 12.0409:48
cfhowlettWhat does the splash screen look like ...09:48
IBM_CLONEIt is the shut down or HALT screen    [OK]09:49
cfhowlettUS splash screen is black with white lettering "ubuntu studio linux for creative humans"09:49
cfhowlettand a white circle throbber09:51
IBM_CLONEYes. I had to hit enter and am waiting.09:51
IBM_CLONEBlack screen.09:51
IBM_CLONEJust logged in and waiting for it to do it's thing. Same thing happened on the laptop.09:56
IBM_CLONEIt continued to ask for updates for about 20 minutes. Laptop works OK and this Desktop is waiting for the final bootup screen.09:57
IBM_CLONEIt says software updates are available and new drivers as well.09:58
IBM_CLONEI clicked install all updates.09:58
IBM_CLONEIt looks much better on a 39 inch Wide Screen HDTV.10:03
IBM_CLONEWith my laptop the fonts looked too small. I searched Google for how to increase the UbuntuStudio default fonts and decided that logically the fonts were based upon the Virtual BOX settings and changed VBOX settings and voila, there was no need to change default OS fonts.10:06
IBM_CLONEVideo Production. Blender. That software was for Ray Tracing and imaging. Has it changed to actual video?10:09
IBM_CLONEI'm not sure I am going to like UbuntuStudio with VBOX. Movies are choppy and too much latency as of my first impression.10:21
IBM_CLONEI am trying Audacity to play a movie and it takes a while for the video to cache load. I can hardly wait to see how slow it runs. hehe10:22
smartboyhwzequence, I'm now in -rt kernel 3.6.11-rt3010:28
IBM_CLONEI don't see VLC media player. I just sudo apt-get the dependencies and that kind of stuff.10:29
IBM_CLONEHey folks. Thanks for the encouragement. I will drop in again to let you know what happens with my new experience with UbuntuStudio. ThanksCFhowlett.  :) I bid you a fine day.    Thanks for your help.10:44
