| alexandros | Hi there again | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| sSs | hi | 00:05 |
| alexandros | I just did the hard disk test on Kubuntu | 00:05 |
| alexandros | with GsmartControl (gui for smart) | 00:06 |
| alexandros | the disk has no errors, exept for on "red" value in the "Soft read error rate" where I have a non zero value, | 00:07 |
| sSs | the head is going bad | 00:07 |
| alexandros | the head of the drive you mean..? | 00:08 |
| alexandros | :) | 00:08 |
| sSs | yeah. like in a VCR its the part the reads the tape | 00:08 |
| sSs | or in this case, the metal disk | 00:09 |
| alexandros | the message is : "there is no SMART warning yet, this could be an indication of future failures or potential data loss in bad sectors" | 00:10 |
| sSs | dont store anything valuable on it. its going bad | 00:10 |
| sSs | it'll still work for long term storage just make sure anything u have on it you have a backup of or dont care about (no longer usefull for running programs) | 00:12 |
| alexandros | great! and now I have tested the second hard disk and eventhough the general health status is "passed" however there are a lot of "red" values | 00:16 |
| alexandros | Warning: ATA error count 106 inconsistent with error log pointer 5 | 00:16 |
| sSs | thats okay. that just means the disk is operating differently than the agreed upon specifications (manufacturer decided to do things their own way) | 00:19 |
| alexandros | however for this disk too there is positive "Soft Read Error Rate" ... and "Offline Uncorrectable" and "Reallocated Sector Count"... | 00:24 |
| alexandros | the question would now be: shall I fresh install Ubuntu studion on the second (latter info) hard disk or go for a new hard drive? :) How serious would the problems of the second disk are? | 00:27 |
| sSs | reallocated secotr means bad sectors | 00:29 |
| sSs | its hardware. software has nothing to do with it | 00:29 |
| sSs | the good news is the motherboard and cable are fine | 00:31 |
| alexandros | ok. | 00:31 |
| alexandros | in general, do bad sectors mean a critical stability problem for the system? Which leads to the question: I stop using them for operating systems? | 00:34 |
| sSs | definately buy new drives. failing head and disk (platter) is either scratched or has excessive wear | 00:37 |
| alexandros | thanks, I see... | 00:37 |
| alexandros | So, it means no really problems with ubuntu studio as such, rather the problem was hardware... | 00:38 |
| sSs | yup | 00:38 |
| alexandros | many thanks for all the help and guidance... | 00:38 |
| sSs | your welcome | 00:38 |
| alexandros | See you again! I am very happy to having received "real time" support from the community :) | 00:40 |
| sSs | for free no less :P | 00:40 |
| alexandros | :)) | 00:40 |
| shai_halud | why on earth does ubuntu-studio come without krita!? | 04:24 |
| cfhowlett | shai_halud, because it has alternatives. feel free to install krita if you wish | 04:25 |
| shai_halud | oh, i did | 04:25 |
| shai_halud | just saying. it's so much AWSUM, it should just be there | 04:26 |
| cfhowlett | different strokes ... | 04:26 |
| smartboyhw | shai_halud, isn't krita a KDE app? We use Xfce now.... | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | and there is that ... | 04:27 |
| shai_halud | i know! and i lOVE it | 04:27 |
| shai_halud | yeah, i suppose it is | 04:27 |
| * smartboyhw knows it because he is the actual guy who packaged calligra (which includes krita) in Ubuntu archive | 04:27 | |
| shai_halud | it really is an awesome program | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | shai_halud, then use and enjoy. | 04:28 |
| shai_halud | mhmm | 04:28 |
| shai_halud | if i can get flashmx to install in ubuntu studio, i will be in hog heaven. anyone know if there is a linux equivalent? | 04:32 |
| shai_halud | google doesn't seem to think so | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | shai_halud, the windows version will run in wine | 04:35 |
| shai_halud | wheee | 04:35 |
| shai_halud | whic is really great, seeing as how my windows partition took one for the team yesterday | 04:35 |
| shai_halud | (so i could install ubuntu studio) | 04:36 |
| shai_halud | (had to delete the"windows reserved" partition to avoid extended/logical partitions) | 04:37 |
| shai_halud | yipeee! and flashmx is now installed! this ubuntu studio install just keeps getting better and better as the day progresses | 05:32 |

| sirriffsalot | How do I wget an exact package which I installed from synaptic? Having trouble deciding which is which in packages.ubuntu.. | 16:48 |
| sirriffsalot | Hey guys, I'm following this http://alsa.opensrc.org/Udev. But I cannod do this step "sudo echo -n K6 > /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1d.7/usb1/1-7/1-7\:1.0/sound/card1/id" because of "Permission denied" from terminal.. | 20:19 |
| sSs | sudo su and try again? | 20:24 |
| sirriffsalot | sSs: strange.. why would that work? | 20:26 |
| sSs | i've found that sometimes i can only do things as root. sudo doesnt cut it | 20:27 |
| sirriffsalot | sSs: strange.. going on then, thanks for that!:) | 20:28 |
| shai_halud | any awesome music theorists present? i need a hand figuring out the time signatures of a peice i just composed | 20:39 |
| sirriffsalot | shai_halud: you can't work out your own piece? o.O | 20:39 |
| shai_halud | man... i know... but , ... no | 20:39 |
| shai_halud | :) | 20:39 |
| sSs | try #opensourcemusicians | 20:39 |
| shai_halud | er :( | 20:39 |
| shai_halud | ok | 20:39 |
| sirriffsalot | shai_halud: holy shit I wanna hear it! | 20:39 |
| sirriffsalot | shai_halud: I'm a little like that at times hehe | 20:40 |
| shai_halud | one sec | 20:40 |
| shai_halud | http://filebin.net/y6zke1v105 | 20:40 |
| shai_halud | well, when i first wrote it, it was 6/8, but that was on guitar, and i changed it here | 20:40 |
| shai_halud | dooted notes throw me off, and i think that's the situation here | 20:41 |
| shai_halud | i did better in GP$ an %, because you could change measures individually | 20:41 |
| shai_halud | in LMMS i haven't figured out how yet | 20:41 |
| shai_halud | that was GP4 and 5 | 20:42 |
| shai_halud | also, i need to figure out how to do bends, something gp was AWSUM for | 20:42 |
| shai_halud | lmms has way better presets though | 20:44 |
| sSs | reminds me of Vectorman2 | 20:54 |
| shai_halud | sawesome | 20:57 |
| shai_halud | i love those games | 20:57 |

| chrisde | hello | 22:35 |
| chrisde | I just installed ubuntustudio and had a question about font rendering, is this the right place to ask | 22:35 |
| sirriffsalot | chrisde: absolutely ;D Go ahead | 22:37 |
| sirriffsalot | chrisde: welcome to ubuntustudio! hope you'll like it. This is the place to talk about ubuntustudio, and ubuntuforums.org for any ubuntu-related things | 22:37 |
| chrisde | I'm really impressed with it so far so i want to try to get it to work, but it hurts my eyes. The font rendering is too contrasted, to sharp, or something. | 22:38 |
| chrisde | Im on my windows 7 partition right now, and if I get up close the fonts are clear and anti-aliased | 22:38 |
| chrisde | on ubuntustudio if I get up close I can see green or red fringing around the letters | 22:38 |
| chrisde | i checked the font settings and anti-aliasing is checked | 22:39 |
| chrisde | and I messed with the 'hinting' setting which made it somewhat better but then it was razor thin | 22:39 |
| sirriffsalot | chrisde: hmm | 22:41 |
| sirriffsalot | chrisde: have you just tried a different theme? | 22:41 |
| sirriffsalot | chrisde: I recommend "NOX" if you haven't | 22:41 |
| sirriffsalot | chrisde: which is default | 22:41 |
| chrisde | theme? | 22:41 |
| chrisde | I couldnt say | 22:42 |
| chrisde | i think I say that setting, it was set to greybird? | 22:42 |
| chrisde | saw* | 22:42 |
| chrisde | I think I found it | 22:48 |
| chrisde | http://www.kilobitspersecond.com/2009/04/17/ubuntu-font-hinting-you-a-cautionary-tale/ | 22:48 |
| chrisde | I need to disable sub-pixel rendering | 22:48 |
| chrisde | im gonna switch over to ustudio, brb | 22:49 |
| sirriffsalot | chrisde: sorry, don't expect quick replies all the time :) Doing many things | 22:50 |
| sirriffsalot | chrisde: did you work it out? | 22:50 |
| chrisde | back | 22:57 |
| chrisde | well that was a fail | 23:35 |
| chrisde | looks like I'll stick to using windows 7 | 23:35 |
| chrisde | issues: chome asked if it wanted to be default installer everytime. fonts looked like shit even after I edited the font.conf file to get rid of sub-pixel sampling. nvidia driver works, but I would get bad tearing moving any windows. it reset itself to mirror mode whenever Id login, even after saving settings etc. | 23:36 |
| chrisde | I havent tried to install maya yet, I did with ubuntu using a simple script but it wasnt solid | 23:37 |
| shai_halud | oh christ | 23:37 |
| chrisde | Im bummed | 23:38 |
| shai_halud | for real dog | 23:38 |
| chrisde | I was tired of centos and I used ubuntustudio several years ago... | 23:38 |
| shai_halud | i thought it was new! ha | 23:38 |
| shai_halud | but i guess it is up to 12 | 23:39 |
| shai_halud | i never heard of it til 2 days ago | 23:39 |
| chrisde | haha yea | 23:39 |
| chrisde | last one I used was 6 or something | 23:39 |
| chrisde | its just the little things that irritate me. | 23:40 |
| chrisde | makes me try linux, then i get frustrated and stick with tried and true | 23:40 |
| chrisde | oh well, maybe some day I can ditch M$ | 23:40 |
| shai_halud | luckily i have had no such issues. linux user for about 12 yrs now, and i won't have a machine without it | 23:41 |
| chrisde | a lot of what I do is difficult in linux | 23:41 |
| chrisde | I always need photoshop and zbrush | 23:42 |
| chrisde | and more complicated programs that are easy to install in windows require a lot of work for ubuntu | 23:42 |
| chrisde | I'm not a fan of the whole ';package' repository dealio, I'd rather find a single download or something | 23:42 |
| chrisde | what do you find in linux thats better than windows, | 23:43 |
| chrisde | I'd still like to play around with it in my freetime and see if I can get it to a good state | 23:43 |
| shai_halud | well, it forces you to learn commands/ it is more difficult to exploit (i have never once contracted a virus in linux)/ OSS is free/ the attidtude of OSS developers / | 23:47 |
| shai_halud | even when i have windows, i still use linux programs | 23:47 |
| chrisde | windows 7 is free too | 23:48 |
| shai_halud | right | 23:48 |
| chrisde | oops | 23:48 |
| chrisde | most software for windows 7 is free too | 23:48 |
| chrisde | that was odd | 23:48 |
| chrisde | mac on the other had, geez, can find shit unless you're willing to pay 5-10 | 23:49 |
