studio-user620Hello, is possible install kde in ubuntu studio?13:24
smartboyhwstudio-user620, well yes13:24
smartboyhw!kde13:24
ubottuKDE (http://kde.org) is an open community that creates and maintains software including the Plasma desktop.  To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install  kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See  http://kubuntu.org for more information.13:24
smartboyhw:)13:24
studio-user620and works well?13:24
studio-user620y have a kde installed, but dont works well. Why? What error i have?13:25
smartboyhwstudio-user620, you mean now?13:25
studio-user620Sorry, I do not speak good English. I have installed KDE but works well, what mistake have I had?13:27
smartboyhwstudio-user620, !?13:27
studio-user620you undestande me?13:27
studio-user620you understand?13:28
studio-user620You do not understand?13:28
smartboyhwstudio-user620, no13:28
studio-user620I install KDE desk but not works well. Why?13:29
smartboyhwstudio-user620, how does it not work?13:30
studio-user620the system stops responding.13:30
smartboyhwstudio-user620, !?13:31
smartboyhwstudio-user620, which version?13:31
studio-user62012.10 ubuntu studio, kde 4.0913:31
smartboyhwstudio-user620, hmm that's weird.13:32
smartboyhwGo to #kubuntu for that13:32
studio-user620aha13:32
studio-user620but what kernel use kubuntu? I need a low latency, I have laptop and i need save powering13:33
zequencestudio-user620: lowlatency may be worse for batter, but if you want low latency, you have no choice13:35
zequencestudio-user620: if the desktop stops responding, that can be multiple reasons. First things I would check is graphic drivers13:36
smartboyhwstudio-user620, Kubuntu uses -generic13:36
zequencestudio-user620: Make sure you don't get the same problem with other desktops, or OSs on the same machine13:36
zequencestudio-user620: You'll need to be a member of "audio" group in order to have realtime privilege, so make sure you are13:37
studio-user620_Ubuntu studio use kernel 3.5 low latency13:37
zequencestudio-user620: Seems like you have a bad internet connection13:37
zequence14:35 < zequence> studio-user620: lowlatency may be worse for batter, but if you want low latency, you have no choice13:38
zequence14:36 < zequence> studio-user620: if the desktop stops responding, that can be multiple reasons. First things I would check is graphic drivers13:38
zequence14:36 < zequence> studio-user620: Make sure you don't get the same problem with other desktops, or OSs on the same machine13:38
zequence14:37 < zequence> studio-user620: You'll need to be a member of "audio" group in order to have realtime privilege, so make sure you are13:38
studio-user620_Ubuntu studio use kernel 3.5 low latency13:38
zequenceaudio group + lowlatency, and answering "yes" to realtime when installing jackd will give you good low latency performance13:39
TheGreyo/15:07
TheGreyhow do I setup m-audio audiophile 2496? I've made asound.rc be for my card. I've heard it uses envy24control. How/what do I do? :)15:07
TheGreyFYI I was sent from ubuntu15:07
holsteinok.. my rehearsal is postponed15:09
holsteinTheGrey: first suggestion15:09
holsteinundo whatever you have done that might have broken it15:09
TheGreyok15:09
holsteinif you want, just load up the live CD, so we dont have to wonder15:09
holsteinif you can, and dont mind to, disable the other onboard card in the bios...15:09
TheGreyright15:10
TheGreyand then what should I do?15:11
holsteinthen, you'll start JACK like this...15:11
holsteinopen a terminal and type 'gksudo qjackctl'15:11
holsteinthis will be for testing purposes.. you wont run jack as root normally15:11
holsteinthis will bring up the jack control GUI15:11
TheGreyright, I see it!15:12
holsteinok.. click 'setup'15:12
holsteinin the left column15:12
holsteinrealtime is checked15:12
holsteinin the center15:13
holsteinframes/period 102415:13
holsteinperiods/buffer 215:13
holsteini seem to remember the sample rate being 44100015:14
holsteintry 44100 first15:14
holsteinnow.. abover that under "server" make sure driver is alsa15:14
holsteinthen, on the right column, you see "interface"15:15
holsteinthat is where we select the audiofile15:15
holsteinphile*15:15
holsteinthere are 2 dropdown menus to check from15:15
holsteinalso, all these labels are from alsa, and can be totally wrong, so i dont trust them15:15
TheGreyok. When in the interface bow I can select hw:215:16
holsteinsure, but we dont know that its hw:215:17
holsteinand, there is another place to look15:17
holsteinright there, there are *two* drop down menus15:17
holstein2 arrows15:17
holsteintry the other one as well15:17
TheGrey* in the alsa side. But in the normal drop down I get only hw:0, plughw:0, /dev/audio and /dev/dsp15:17
holsteinalso, i have literally just tried them all, since, not only do you not know if its hw:2, but next time you boot the machine, those can change15:18
TheGreyOn the alsa side I have hw:2 and hw:2 ICE 1712 multi15:18
holsteinTheGrey: this is another reason why i like to disable the onboard15:18
holsteinif you have only the one card, then it'll be the only one. at boot time,  config15:18
holsteinright now, you have the only config like that, anywhere15:18
holsteinyou could have the only machine that has that exact hardware.. *anywhere*15:19
holsteinso, you will be the only one who can sort out how to configure it15:19
holsteinnow.. if you remove some variables, then you can better guess15:19
TheGreythanks. and do I need to enable programs to use JACK like firefox, etc?15:19
holsteinTheGrey: there is a pulse bridge.. that you should have by default15:20
holsteinwe will check for that.. or, you can just not use JACK15:20
holsteinor just dont use that card15:20
holsteindepends on what you are doing.. it might be overkill... JACK, and/or the device15:20
TheGreyI uninstalling it a while ago because of buzzing issues.. Could these isssues be related to the onboard soundcard not being superior?15:21
holsteinsure15:21
holsteincould be anything though15:21
holsteinanyways.. you select "device" and hit the "Start" button15:22
holsteinit'll go green, or spit out errors which you can troubleshoot15:22
TheGreyright, I still have no audio, but this could be because I only have ALSA. I uninstall pulse. Should I install pulse in order to hear audio through JACK?15:23
holsteinno, you let me know if JACK has started or not, and then we can test the audio15:23
TheGreythanks, I've started the server. So far nothing I can hear15:24
holsteindid it start? with no errors?15:24
holsteincorrect.. *dont* try and hear anything15:24
holsteinliterally ht the start button, and tell me if it starts without errors15:25
holsteinhit*15:25
TheGreywhere would I see any errors. I cannot see  any erros15:25
holsteinok15:25
holsteinstop jack with the stop botn and close the jack window15:25
holsteinbutton*15:25
TheGreyok done that15:26
holsteinthen, reopen qjackctl from the menu as normal user and try starting again, not testing "sound" at all15:26
radi_Hallo Dear All, I have a pray for you to give me a instructions for how to compile low latency kernel in ubuntu studio 12.10 Quantal Quentzal thanks a lot !With best wishes  Radoslav Boiadjiev15:26
holsteinjust start, and see that it starts15:26
holsteinradi_: just use the one from the repos15:26
holsteinradi_: sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency15:26
zequenceradi_: You want to change the configuration?15:26
holsteinTheGrey: running as normal user?15:27
TheGreyholstein: yep but I get this error: http://pastebin.com/rPxEGRLC15:27
holsteinTheGrey: what operating system did you install?15:28
TheGrey;_; a debian based distro15:28
radi_but i try to compile custom kernel in Kubuntu, and result was great15:29
TheGreybut its too small and its IRC is barren15:29
holsteinTheGrey: you can try the ubuntustudio live CD, then, i will know that you nor the small distro you are using are causing the issue15:29
holsteinTheGrey: otherwise, you can try adding yourself to the audio group15:29
holsteinsudo adduser you audio15:29
holsteinTheGrey: maybe JACK is overkill.. i would consider using pulse and pavucontrol15:30
holsteinTheGrey: you can test all of this from a live CD, and apply your findings to whatever distro15:30
TheGreythanks. And have use ever had these buzzing sounds from pulse?15:30
holsteinTheGrey: the buzzing sound is likely hardware related15:31
radi_i install ubuntustudio, and its good working, but i I want most of my hardware15:31
zequenceradi_: The difference between -generic and -lowlatency https://github.com/zequence/ubuntu-quantal-lowlatency/blob/lowlatency/debian.lowlatency/config-delta15:31
holsteinTheGrey: i have never had pulse its self creating a buzzing sound.. no15:31
zequenceradi_: linux-generic == linux-lowlatency, except for those configs15:31
holsteinradi_: so, you are doing realtime effect processing?15:31
zequenceradi_: There's one patch too. Which gives you the kernel paramter "threadirqs" by default15:32
holsteinradi_: realtime effects processing or live software synths?15:33
radi_i dont no, but i hear that the sound is much better than other distributions15:34
holsteinradi_: its not.. the sound is the same15:34
holsteinradi_: the latency you seek is only going to help if you are doing realtime effects processing or software synths15:34
radi_no!!! absolutely  much better!!!15:34
holsteinradi_: no.. its the same hardware and software15:35
zequenceI think he means lower latency15:35
holsteinradi_: latency doesnt effect the sound quality15:35
radi_i hear this with tube amplifiers!!!15:35
zequence..or does he?15:35
holsteinradi_: i dont care what you are monitoring on.. the quality is not effected15:35
zequenceradi_: The sound is exactly the same on any kernel. Unless you are talking about audio droupouts.15:36
holsteinif you are doing live effects processing of a guitar live ,then you might want/need lower latency.. but the sound quality is not effected by the kernel15:36
radi_but result is much better than Kubuntu15:36
holsteinradi_: no.. the result might have lower latency.. not "better"15:37
holsteinkubuntu *is* ubuntu.. ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. we just have a kerne that you can use in kubuntu if you like, since its in the default repos15:37
zequenceradi_: You can install linux-lowlatency on Kubuntu, just like holstein said: sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency15:37
TheGreyholstein: How can I install pulseaudio? Just sudo apt-get pulseaudio?15:37
holsteinTheGrey: i would just search pulseaudio and see what comes up, but i remeber it being simlilarly easy15:38
zequenceTheGrey: probably, but why not just use a distro that has all of that set up, like Debian?15:38
zequenceor, a desktop base that has that setup15:38
radi_but iI want to compile linux-lowlatency15:39
zequenceradi_: Why?15:41
zequenceradi_: It is already compiled15:41
radi_because I want most of my hardware15:41
zequenceradi_: You want to change the config?15:42
zequencelike this one https://github.com/zequence/ubuntu-quantal-lowlatency/blob/lowlatency/debian.lowlatency/config-delta15:42
holsteinradi_: we have lowlatency, by default.. you have a lowlatency kernel15:43
holsteinradi_: you might want what was called the "realtime" kernel.. but im trying to determine if you need it15:43
radi_I compiled kernel in Kubuntu, and PC is working very-better15:43
holsteinradi_: kubuntu *is* ubuntu, so you can just user that kernel here in ubuntustudio15:44
radi_I want the same with ubuntustudio15:44
holsteinradi_: sure.. just pull that *same* kernel over15:45
holsteinradi_: it *is* the same.. and it will work the same15:45
holsteinradi_: ubuntu, kubutu, ubuntustudio.. they are all the same.. the same repos... just customized15:45
zequenceradi_: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, MythBuntu, all of them are the same15:45
smartboyhwzequence, yeah yeah yeah15:46
smartboyhwradi_, what do you mean by *compile* kernel?15:46
radi_compiled kernel in Kubuntu working fast15:46
smartboyhwradi_, why do you HAVE to?15:46
holsteinradi_: use that one, the one you compiled that you are using in kubuntu.. use it in ubuntustudio15:46
zequenceradi_: Xubuntu has the same kernel as Kubuntu, Lubuntu and all the others, except Ubuntu Studio15:46
holsteinradi_: the "fast" one. the one you like. the one you want to use.. use it in ubuntustudio15:47
radi_for fastest work15:47
holsteinradi_: sure.. for *whatever* work you want15:47
holsteinradi_: use that one15:47
smartboyhwXubuntu + Kubuntu + Lubuntu + Edubuntu + Mythbuntu: -generic Ubuntu Studio: -lowlatency15:47
holsteinradi_: though, i doubt you need lower latency than what the stock kernel provides15:47
radi_its spesific magik in Ubuntu Studio-the sound is diferent w my soundblaster cardith15:49
holsteinradi_: no its not15:50
holsteinradi_: its not different at all15:50
radi_It said my ears15:51
holsteinradi_: the software is different, and allows you to create different sounds, but that software is in the default repos, and available to the other distros15:51
holsteinradi_: then, you mis-heard... the hardware will sound the same15:51
radi_the sound is more crisp, dynamic15:52
zequenceradi_: It's physically impossible15:53
holsteinradi_: nope.. its not.. its the same.. but you are welcome to enjoy ubuntustudio15:53
zequenceradi_: digital sound: 0101010101. Kernels don't change that15:53
holsteinradi_: you are welcom to enjoy our kernel in other distro.. or the other software or metapackages..15:53
holsteinyou are welcome to use the kernel you have already made with ubuntustudio.. you are welcome and encouraged to create another one15:54
holsteinbut, your hardware is your hardware.. its hardware15:54
holsteinit would be like saying your screen lookds better running ubuntu instead of xubuntu15:54
holsteinwhen, if that were the case, it would be hardware related15:54
holsteinor driver related15:54
radi_for example of sound in PC Linux is worse than Kubuntu15:54
holsteinradi_: its not15:55
radi_My daughter is a professional musician, pianist, and she confirmed my observations15:57
holsteinradi_: no.. its not possible15:57
holsteinradi_: i am a proffesonal musican as well, and i can assure you, its the software choices that change things15:57
holsteingotta run.. rehearsal!15:57
zequenceradi_: The difference between linux-lowlatency and linux-generic is very, very small. And does not even involve any audio code15:58
zequenceradi_: Do you know what low latency is?15:58
radi_yes15:59
smartboyhwradi_, seriously: Kernels doesn't change sound output or hardware....16:00
radi_i agree16:00
radi_For example, if the sound file is wav 44100 hertz, and maintained all soundcard 192000 hertz wrote in the audio-settings-audio output frecuency -44100 x 4 = 176400 hertz, the sound is much better and more detailed!!! In newer versions this valuable option is missing. My request is how to add it in the configuration file or otherwise. I compiled earlier versions of VLC, but I want to use the new versions...! My request is if you can still16:00
radi_return the old option for audio output frecuency !!!16:00
smartboyhw!?16:01
radi_this i wrote to vlc16:01
radi_it is the way to have much better sound сх Всхкй16:02
radi_ it is the way to have much better sound in Linux16:02
radi_try this-the sound is great16:03
d3n4riu5hello, I just acquire a midi controller hercules dj console to mix and I use virtual dj software as my problem 'is that the key is not just reconue joystick that controls the cursor is qmidiroute that can pay this bug the problem is when i try to configure my dj controller virtual dj program and I still do not understand Qmidi route21:26
