| sirriffsalot | Is it a bad idea to go for some of the ppa's from kxstudio in any way? Could it damage my system somehow? | 04:32 |
|---|---|---|
| sirriffsalot | The broken/unstable packages asied | 04:32 |
| sirriffsalot | aside* | 04:33 |
| len-dt | I have not had any problems with it. you are limited to LTS releases though. | 04:50 |
| sirriffsalot | len-dt: tend to stick to them anyway, thanks :) | 05:07 |

| Hernou | ... | 07:29 |
| swol | I installed the "ubuntustudio-desktop" from Mint14_Xfce. All the 'extra' software that ubuntustudio seems to be listed in the main menu under 'other' but the links to the software are not working. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and seem to be going round in circles. Thanks for any help | 15:25 |
| swol | seems the bulk of my post disappeared | 15:26 |
| swol | I added ubuntustudio-desktop to Mint 14 Xfce but dont have access to the audio software | 15:28 |
| swol | Maybe I should just use the ubuntustudio install disk | 15:28 |
| shai_halud | haha, yeah swol, that's just a de | 15:31 |
| swol | 378 mb of de.... | 15:31 |
| shai_halud | damn | 15:32 |
| shai_halud | ubuntu studio os is bigger thuogh | 15:32 |
| swol | I have it installed, on my desktop Ubuntustudio, so I have the disk | 15:32 |
| shai_halud | have you used it much? | 15:33 |
| swol | I am starting to, but have recorded nothing. I am using it as my os...for a few months | 15:33 |
| shai_halud | you want it mainly for music creation? | 15:34 |
| swol | eventually yes | 15:34 |
| shai_halud | install lmms too then | 15:34 |
| shai_halud | doesn't come with , for some reason | 15:34 |
| swol | I really want to record live instruments | 15:35 |
| shai_halud | it's the easie | 15:35 |
| shai_halud | woops | 15:35 |
| swol | Bass Guitar and harmonica and vocals | 15:35 |
| shai_halud | audacity and ardour can serve most of those needs. have you figured out how to use jack yet? | 15:36 |
| swol | with some hydrogen drums I guess | 15:36 |
| shai_halud | yeah | 15:36 |
| shai_halud | cool | 15:36 |
| swol | you mean the adapter ? | 15:36 |
| shai_halud | yes | 15:36 |
| swol | No ..I got to buy a 1/4" to mini adapter | 15:36 |
| shai_halud | oh, wait, no. there's a program called jack | 15:37 |
| shai_halud | i mean, yeah, you'll need the adapter too, i meant, it's like a switchboard for your programs | 15:38 |
| swol | No..I will have to plug in before I can use any of the software,hehe, but I am aware of Jack | 15:38 |
| shai_halud | k | 15:39 |
| shai_halud | once you figure it out, it's just a matter of learning the programs. until jack is configured though, most won't make a sound | 15:39 |
| swol | I really just want to get off the ground with a simpl recording of me singing with my guitar | 15:40 |
| swol | Will Ardour or Audacity handle that ? | 15:40 |
| shai_halud | yes | 15:40 |
| swol | without Jack | 15:40 |
| shai_halud | audacity doesn't need jack but ardour does | 15:41 |
| swol | So I set Jack up first then ? | 15:41 |
| shai_halud | yes | 15:41 |
| swol | switch from alsa to pulse ? | 15:41 |
| shai_halud | in some applications | 15:41 |
| swol | I read about that | 15:42 |
| shai_halud | ycertain ones use one or the other, some use either | 15:42 |
| swol | Will audacity record a simple mis=crophone setup ? | 15:42 |
| shai_halud | yes | 15:43 |
| shai_halud | without need of anything else | 15:43 |
| swol | Then a bass guitar plkugged directly ? | 15:43 |
| shai_halud | yeah | 15:43 |
| shai_halud | anything | 15:43 |
| swol | as a second track | 15:43 |
| shai_halud | for 2nd tracks it gets a little trickier, as you don't want bleedover | 15:44 |
| shai_halud | so it's best to use headphones for monito | 15:44 |
| shai_halud | r | 15:44 |
| swol | bass plugged directly ...no amp | 15:44 |
| shai_halud | i doubt you should use boosted output in your speaker's input | 15:45 |
| shai_halud | er you computer | 15:45 |
| swol | I mean plug from the bass guitar to the computer input....unamplified | 15:46 |
| shai_halud | yes | 15:46 |
| swol | as a second track | 15:46 |
| shai_halud | don't amplify the signal going into the computer's mic jack | 15:46 |
| swol | right | 15:46 |
| shai_halud | yes, you can do that | 15:46 |
| swol | cool | 15:46 |
| shai_halud | make sure to disable the external mic in audacity | 15:46 |
| shai_halud | er, i mean, is this a laptop? | 15:47 |
| swol | Not yet but thats where I was going to end up after practice on the deskyop | 15:47 |
| swol | top | 15:47 |
| shai_halud | k. , because laptops generally have 2 mic ports. the integrated and the jack itself. you'll want to make sure the integrated is off to avoid air hiss | 15:48 |
| swol | nly one mic port on nthis laptop | 15:48 |
| shai_halud | and hum from the cpu fan, etc | 15:49 |
| swol | ahhh yes | 15:49 |
| shai_halud | no integrated mic? | 15:49 |
| shai_halud | up by the camera? | 15:49 |
| swol | no camera...this here is vintage | 15:49 |
| shai_halud | haha | 15:49 |
| swol | 2.6 ghz P4 with 2 Gb ram | 15:50 |
| shai_halud | are you american, by chance? | 15:50 |
| swol | yes...displaced Canadian | 15:50 |
| shai_halud | haha. i know some of each | 15:50 |
| swol | living in America | 15:50 |
| shai_halud | and an egyptian in Ca | 15:50 |
| swol | Egypt to Canada... | 15:51 |
| shai_halud | yep | 15:51 |
| swol | more snow, less sand | 15:51 |
| shai_halud | indubitably so | 15:51 |
| swol | where are you then...Egypt ? | 15:52 |
| swol | So anyway It sounds like audacity will handle simple multi track recording from an external microphone | 15:54 |
| swol | Thanks for the tips shai_halud, to work now | 15:55 |
| shai_halud | hey | 15:55 |
| shai_halud | here is a track i made yesterday with lmms, btw http://filebin.net/pkz3d0blco | 15:55 |
| shai_halud | yw | 15:56 |
| swol | zipfile huh? | 15:56 |
| shai_halud | you can dl it other ways | 15:57 |
| swol | its downloading as zip...no problem | 15:57 |
| swol | lmms is all electronic manufactured sounds correct ? | 15:58 |
| shai_halud | it's just a 24 second piece of a song. i have a lot of work to do on it | 15:58 |
| shai_halud | yes | 15:58 |
| shai_halud | this will be a good sample for you | 15:58 |
| shai_halud | it's quite nice | 15:58 |
| swol | no actual instuments | 15:58 |
| shai_halud | nope | 15:58 |
| shai_halud | sounds like them though | 15:58 |
| shai_halud | it's a wonderful program | 15:58 |
| swol | I will listten with a discerning ear | 15:59 |
| shai_halud | using electronic methods of creation is a good way to expand what you do on guitar | 15:59 |
| shai_halud | i have played for 20 years now | 15:59 |
| swol | played what for 20 years ? | 16:00 |
| shai_halud | guitar | 16:00 |
| swol | oh ok | 16:00 |
| swol | me too...except 35 years | 16:00 |
| shai_halud | dayum | 16:00 |
| shai_halud | that's my age | 16:00 |
| shai_halud | (i lie. 36) | 16:00 |
| swol | That makwes me at least 36 years old | 16:00 |
| shai_halud | hehe | 16:00 |
| swol | 50 plus...ahem | 16:01 |
| shai_halud | so you know about my favorites then | 16:01 |
| swol | you mean eric and jimmy and jeff ? | 16:01 |
| shai_halud | King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Rush, etc | 16:01 |
| swol | ok... | 16:01 |
| shai_halud | those guys are great too | 16:01 |
| swol | I like the tull guy,,,squire ? | 16:02 |
| shai_halud | Martin Barre, i think | 16:02 |
| swol | barre yah | 16:02 |
| shai_halud | I'm not used to seeing anyone over 30 on irc. this is a treat | 16:03 |
| shai_halud | so you play bass, or both? | 16:04 |
| swol | No kidding.....Have to go to the Lawn Bowling Channek I guess | 16:04 |
| shai_halud | haha | 16:04 |
| swol | bass guitar some banjo and harmonica | 16:04 |
| * shai_halud wonders if guys on wall street/ doctors, and lawyers use irc | 16:04 | |
| swol | They have "special" secret channels...hehe | 16:05 |
| shai_halud | right, and politicians | 16:05 |
| shai_halud | so, , about your discerning ear | 16:05 |
| swol | politicians no.....too self obsessed to learn absolutely anything new | 16:06 |
| shai_halud | try the file yet? | 16:06 |
| swol | lemme check | 16:06 |
| shai_halud | and i REALLY have never met anyone your age who uses linux | 16:07 |
| shai_halud | impressive | 16:07 |
| shai_halud | this is just a meagre sampling of what lmms can do. I only started using it yesterday | 16:09 |
| swol | Theres lots of older users in the Mint and PCLinux crowd | 16:09 |
| swol | the easy to use | 16:09 |
| shai_halud | i have mint now and unsed to have pclinux os | 16:10 |
| shai_halud | it's not too bad once you go over a few tricky things | 16:10 |
| shai_halud | there are some great online guides | 16:10 |
| shai_halud | i got this much done in a day, so, go figure | 16:10 |
| shai_halud | i'm no genius | 16:10 |
| swol | I have used mint since 07 | 16:11 |
| shai_halud | it's a great os. what DE do you use? | 16:11 |
| swol | I switched to Xfce when the gnome 3 hit the stands | 16:11 |
| zequence | swol: there are a bunch of meta packages for Ubuntu Studio. You don't need the desktop. Try ubuntustudio-audio | 16:11 |
| zequence | swol: Make sure to add yourself to audio group, in order to get realtime privilege | 16:11 |
| shai_halud | i have the whole thing installed already | 16:11 |
| swol | ok thanks zequence | 16:12 |
| zequence | swol: And if you want low latency, install linux-lowlatency (or, does Mint roll their own kernels?) | 16:12 |
| shai_halud | oh damn. i thought that was still shol talking | 16:12 |
| swol | they may but I am not familiar with low latency from mint | 16:12 |
| zequence | swol: To see all the meta packages, in a terminal, do: apt-cache search ubuntustudio | 16:12 |
| shai_halud | i don't think mints rolls kernels | 16:13 |
| swol | me neither | 16:13 |
| shai_halud | good thing about ubuntu | 16:13 |
| zequence | if Mint has linux-lowlatency, then they don't | 16:13 |
| shai_halud | uh, no they don't | 16:13 |
| swol | But I think the liqorish kernel or something | 16:13 |
| swol | I will just go and install the full ubuntu studio | 16:14 |
| shai_halud | might be better/easier that way | 16:15 |
| swol | I also boot bto Mint 13 Matre here | 16:15 |
| swol | Mate | 16:15 |
| shai_halud | i use mate now too | 16:15 |
| swol | Mate is gnome 2 ish | 16:15 |
| shai_halud | went from cinnamon to kde to mate | 16:15 |
| shai_halud | i still have them all, of course, and switch as the mood strikes me | 16:16 |
| swol | ok...I cant do Kde and cinnamon uses extra cpu that I dont want to give away | 16:16 |
| shai_halud | new kde with plasma workspace is a beast for resource hogging, but it's also beautiful | 16:17 |
| swol | I am using the mint 14 lxde on a usb flash | 16:17 |
| swol | its a polish community edition | 16:17 |
| shai_halud | polish? as in ploand? | 16:17 |
| shai_halud | er you know | 16:17 |
| swol | yes | 16:17 |
| shai_halud | hm | 16:17 |
| swol | but option is English | 16:18 |
| shai_halud | how many pollacks does it take.... (sorry, i couldn't resist) | 16:18 |
| swol | I live in california, I cant make those jokes | 16:18 |
| shai_halud | HA | 16:18 |
| shai_halud | LA? | 16:18 |
| swol | people would talk | 16:18 |
| swol | yes | 16:19 |
| shai_halud | What part? | 16:19 |
| shai_halud | I used to live In Park La Brea | 16:19 |
| swol | north,,,near Pasadena | 16:19 |
| swol | near Lacma? | 16:19 |
| swol | LACMA | 16:19 |
| shai_halud | yes, on wilshire? | 16:20 |
| swol | I can picture it now | 16:20 |
| shai_halud | here http://tinyurl.com/myoldapt | 16:21 |
| shai_halud | i lived at the top pf that tower | 16:21 |
| shai_halud | the big x xhaped ones | 16:22 |
| swol | Nice view of the clouds huh? | 16:22 |
| shai_halud | you can see all of LA from there | 16:22 |
| shai_halud | and the hollywood sign | 16:22 |
| shai_halud | 'bout 2 miles from the strip | 16:23 |
| swol | Great | 16:23 |
| shai_halud | indiana boy- i was a fish out of water, but i loved every minute | 16:23 |
| swol | Its all fun for a while,,,hehe | 16:24 |
| shai_halud | yeah. you said it | 16:24 |
| swol | Are you in some strange land now ? | 16:24 |
| shai_halud | back in indiana | 16:24 |
| swol | that could qualify huh? | 16:25 |
| shai_halud | it has it's strangeness, but it's mostly mundane | 16:25 |
| swol | not....boring? | 16:25 |
| shai_halud | that too | 16:25 |
| shai_halud | no music here | 16:25 |
| swol | hmm...it's every=where...no live music...yah | 16:26 |
| shai_halud | i got spoiled in Nashville Tennessee | 16:26 |
| swol | Life kicks in and live music anywhere is a treat ! If you can find time ! | 16:26 |
| shai_halud | you wouldn't belIEVE the calibre of music the up and comers are making there these days | 16:27 |
| swol | To overly produced for me | 16:27 |
| shai_halud | oh no | 16:27 |
| swol | for example ? | 16:27 |
| shai_halud | these people are pulling themselves up by the bootstraps man | 16:27 |
| shai_halud | heypenny | 16:27 |
| swol | I will check heypenny out.... | 16:28 |
| shai_halud | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1oc9tPrSoQ | 16:28 |
| shai_halud | ther you go | 16:28 |
| shai_halud | hope you're a beatles fan | 16:28 |
| swol | I gotta run pal...to work....nice chatting...will see you again...and I will listen to yer tune-ette | 16:29 |
| swol | I am working on Girl | 16:29 |
| shai_halud | hehe | 16:29 |
| shai_halud | good luck | 16:29 |
| shai_halud | likewise | 16:29 |
| swol | See you hear often ? | 16:29 |
| shai_halud | oh yeah | 16:29 |
| shai_halud | #lmms #opensourcemusicians | 16:30 |
| shai_halud | those too | 16:30 |
| swol | sounds good.... | 16:30 |
| shai_halud | good places for assitance | 16:30 |
| swol | yes...I learn all ..or most of my solutions equally google and irc | 16:31 |
| shai_halud | mhmm | 16:31 |
| shai_halud | the web is a wonderful place if you know how and where to look | 16:32 |
| swol | I always clainm to have done a thorough googling anyway before I ask in irc...hehe | 16:32 |
| shai_halud | that can easily be refuted | 16:32 |
| swol | I know but its a good start | 16:32 |
| swol | Its not a total; lie | 16:33 |
| shai_halud | you don't want to get one of those "let me google that for you" links | 16:33 |
| swol | I usually google first | 16:33 |
| swol | I have | 16:33 |
| shai_halud | i bet | 16:33 |
| shai_halud | i did.... once | 16:33 |
| swol | Not to menytion just straight attack for not finding my own answers | 16:34 |
| shai_halud | some geeks are proprietary with their knowledge. most you find on irc are pretty easy going, thankfully | 16:34 |
| swol | I agree...most | 16:35 |
| shai_halud | you have 2 types of irc assholes. the elitist geeks and the trolls | 16:35 |
| swol | 2 is not broad enough | 16:36 |
| shai_halud | they comprise a very small percentage of actual irc users | 16:36 |
| shai_halud | then there's the variants of each | 16:36 |
| swol | Very true. But there is nothing worse than an empowered elitist | 16:37 |
| shai_halud | except maybe an incessant troll | 16:37 |
| swol | who PM's | 16:37 |
| shai_halud | oh god | 16:37 |
| swol | hehe..thats the one | 16:37 |
| shai_halud | dispicable | 16:38 |
| swol | Listen I must leave....Good ta meet ya....later k? | 16:38 |
| shai_halud | likewise, yup | 16:38 |
| swol | bye | 16:38 |

| Haohmaru | hello, i'm trying to put ubuntustudio on this machine which already has winXP and i'm trying not to f*ck up anything.. i reduced the size of the last partition and now i got a "free" chunk of about 58GB http://i.imgur.com/yxt8aZZ.png | 18:57 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: Looks good to me | 19:05 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: What you need to be aware of is that when you install Ubuntu Studio (and I guess you know this already), the Windows bootloader will be replaces with GRUB | 19:06 |
| zequence | which is no problem, since GRUB can see and boot windows | 19:06 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: You'll need two partitions. One SWAP partition which should be roughly 2x your RAM size | 19:07 |
| zequence | And the other a EXT4 for the root "/" | 19:07 |
| andy | Hi, I need some help installing drivers for an Asus Xonat DX PCIE card | 19:40 |
| andy | that's Xonar | 19:40 |
| zequence | andy: There are no special drivers for PCI cards on Linux | 19:41 |
| zequence | andy: Are you saying it doesn't work? | 19:41 |
| andy | It works but the volume is very low | 19:42 |
| andy | If I turn it up it distorts | 19:42 |
| zequence | andy: Here's a little guide I wrote about audio on Ubutnu Studio https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro/1204 | 19:42 |
| andy | Ok thanks - I have disabled Pulseaudio | 19:43 |
| zequence | andy: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Asus | 19:44 |
| zequence | andy: If you look in details, that stuff is not relevant to you | 19:44 |
| zequence | ..since the driver is already installed | 19:44 |
| andy | I was just on this site, but I couldn't figure where to do the download | 19:44 |
| zequence | andy: There's nothing to download | 19:45 |
| andy | unzip what? | 19:45 |
| zequence | The driver is a part of the core alsa packages, where all the drivers are included | 19:45 |
| andy | I have these via package mgr | 19:45 |
| zequence | andy: The drivers are not split into different packages. You already have the driver. | 19:46 |
| zequence | If there's a problem with the driver, it's a bug, and should be reported. But, I'm more leaning on leveling issues | 19:46 |
| andy | Ok . .. . | 19:46 |
| zequence | andy: What kind of mixer are you using to handle the audio levels for the card? | 19:47 |
| andy | I just rebooted so I think I should try alsamixer | 19:47 |
| zequence | There's alsamixergui, if you want a graphical version | 19:48 |
| andy | Still distorting badly | 19:54 |
| Haohmaru | zequence, thanks, i resized it so that i got ~4.7GB "swap" chunk after the ext4 | 20:04 |
| Haohmaru | does the swap chunk need to be formatted, cuz it didn't automatically mark itself for format | 20:04 |
| Haohmaru | and can i abort the installation after these new partitions get created/formatted, cuz i read that i need to boot my winXP before proceeding with linux installation, so that it can "detect" that my E:\ has been "resized" .. | 20:06 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: Don't know why you would need to boot XP before installation is complete. Just sounds like XP will find the new size at next boot | 20:47 |
| Haohmaru | i read it somewhere | 20:47 |
| zequence | Has nothing to do with the boot loader anyway | 20:47 |
| zequence | Or, does it? | 20:48 |
| zequence | I guess there's a chance that there are som win tools in the boot sector | 20:48 |
| zequence | You can safely abort installation. The partitions will be there the next time again | 20:48 |
| Haohmaru | too late now, i pressed next and now it's kind of installed | 20:49 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: It's not too late until GRUB is installed | 20:49 |
| zequence | That happens last | 20:49 |
| Haohmaru | when is GRUB installed exactly? | 20:49 |
| zequence | It's the very last step of the process | 20:50 |
| Haohmaru | right now it finished showing me pretty pictures about what apps it hast | 20:50 |
| Haohmaru | and wants me to reboot | 20:50 |
| Haohmaru | * has | 20:50 |
| zequence | Then, yes, too late | 20:50 |
| zequence | :) good luck | 20:50 |
| Haohmaru | oookay, thanks | 20:51 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: If for some reason you want to reinstall XP again, just do that. But, then GRUB will be removed. | 20:51 |
| Haohmaru | ahum | 20:51 |
| zequence | GRUB can be added separately, but you might find it easier to just reinstall Ubuntu Studio again, after a win XP install | 20:52 |
| Haohmaru | so after the reboot, there was a bootloader ;] | 20:59 |
| zequence | I'm assuming you mean there was now the GRUB boot loader, and no Windows boot loader | 21:03 |
| Haohmaru | yes | 21:03 |
| zequence | Haohmaru: So, booting into XP was fine? | 21:04 |
| zequence | This guy is funny https://plus.google.com/u/0/102544462835105704231/posts | 21:04 |
