| cfhowlett | Change the login icon: I'm running Ubuntustudio 12.04. Want to customize the default login icon | 08:35 |
| cfhowlett | How do I change the login icon in Ubuntustudio 12.04 http://imagebin.org/249823 | 09:09 |
| zequence | cfhowlett: Don't have lightgdm installed on this machine, but if I would make a wild guess, there might be configs in /etc/lightgdm/* | 09:10 |
| cfhowlett | zequence, I found that. there's nothing in there that directs to an icon ... | 09:12 |
| cfhowlett | shame because this is the replacement icon ... http://imagebin.org/249824 | 09:13 |
| SunStar | i dont wanna log out to try it but perhapse this will work? | 09:14 |
| SunStar | http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1585548#post1585548 | 09:15 |
| cfhowlett | SunStar, I'll look again. It appears to be a specific lightdm config ... | 09:16 |
| zequence | cfhowlett: Cool looking icon in deed | 09:19 |
| cfhowlett | zequence, yep. now to incorporate it ... | 09:20 |
| cfhowlett | zequence, hey I sent a couple of wallpaper suggestions to the list. did you see? | 09:20 |
| SunStar | lol you can just rename it to the current icon | 09:21 |
| zequence | cfhowlett: Not yet, but we actually already went ahead and changed the default, adding the two I did. This is for the Beta 1, which is to be built later today | 09:21 |
| cfhowlett | zequence, OK ... | 09:21 |
| cfhowlett | zequence, I install LTS only, but I have been know to harvest artwork from interim releases. Of course, "rolling release" or whatever happens ... | 09:22 |
| SunStar | i mean replace the old icon with your new one by renameing the old one to something else, and the new one uses the old ones name | 09:22 |
| cfhowlett | SunStar, right method, but wrong greeter program. I need to configure lightDM ... | 09:22 |
| SunStar | try adding "Icon=/path/to/image" into file:///var/lib/lightdm/.cache/lightdm-gtk-greeter/state ? | 09:26 |
| SunStar | no that doesnt seem right n/m | 09:27 |
| mano | hi | 11:29 |
| mano | hi | 11:36 |
| zequence | mano: hello | 11:39 |
| mano | may u help me plz . iam gonna destroy my laptop if u don't | 11:40 |
| zequence | mano: I hardly think your laptop will be destroyed by Linux, but tell us, what seems to be the problem? | 11:41 |
| mano | i loved LINUX very much it's very smart easy and fast .... i am a music producer recently sed ubuntu studio to have the chance to try ardour ...... qJACKctl is making me crazy don't wanna work | 11:42 |
| mano | always : ERROR ERROR EROOR | 11:42 |
| zequence | mano: There's a bug with jackdbus. Makes it crash often, when you try to stop it | 11:43 |
| zequence | mano: When that happens, kill it in a terminal, like this: killall -9 jackdbus | 11:43 |
| zequence | Then try again | 11:43 |
| zequence | Also, make sure you aren't using desktop audio, while trying to start jack. | 11:43 |
| zequence | Close down all pulseaudio applications | 11:43 |
| mano | the problem isn't that it don't wanna stop .. it deosn't even work | 11:43 |
| zequence | ..this is, if you are using the same audio card with pulseaudio and jack | 11:44 |
| zequence | mano: Have you ever got jack to start? | 11:44 |
| zequence | mano: do this command: cat /proc/asound/cards | 11:45 |
| zequence | mano: paste here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 11:45 |
| mano | one time after installing LINUX . then i tryed to connect my studio tools on the laptop . then it stoped | 11:45 |
| zequence | mano: I'll help you. Just follow my instructions | 11:45 |
| mano | so what is the first thing to do | 11:45 |
| zequence | mano: as I said, do this command: cat /proc/asound/cards | 11:46 |
| zequence | paste here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 11:46 |
| mano | done | 11:49 |
| zequence | mano: Give me the link | 11:50 |
| mano | ouch i think i lost it : y don't i write here ? | 11:50 |
| zequence | mano: Each paste gets it's own link. You can use Shift+Ctrl+T to open closed tabs | 11:51 |
| zequence | Just make another paste, if you can't find it | 11:51 |
| mano | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5604552/ | 11:52 |
| zequence | mano: So, which device are you attempting to start jack with? The onboard, or the headset? | 11:53 |
| mano | the laptop card is SRS premium sound but i don't use it . all my sound system is connected to the USB card - C media | 11:54 |
| mano | i managed to play the sound using the usb but ardour don't work because of jack | 11:54 |
| zequence | mano: First, let's see if the onboard device works. We begin by killing jack, just in case | 11:55 |
| zequence | killall -9 jackdbus | 11:55 |
| zequence | Then, we start jack, and suspending pulseaudio at the same time: | 11:55 |
| zequence | pasuspender -- jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 | 11:55 |
| mano | i typed the first command | 11:56 |
| mano | killall -9 jackdbus | 11:56 |
| zequence | If it says nothing, it killed jackdbus. If it says "no process found", jackdbus was not running | 11:57 |
| zequence | Now, try the second command: pasuspender -- jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 | 11:57 |
| mano | i typed it twice and got the 2 answers | 11:57 |
| mano | ooops i saw the word failed | 11:58 |
| mano | will i paste the new info for you ? | 11:59 |
| zequence | mano: No | 11:59 |
| zequence | The first command is not important. It's just for making sure jackdbus is killed | 11:59 |
| zequence | Once you're done, try the second command | 11:59 |
| zequence | If the second command gives you an error, please do paste | 11:59 |
| mano | i did and got alot of sentence but the last one is enogh it said /: failed to oped server | 12:00 |
| zequence | mano: Paste the entire message from jack | 12:00 |
| zequence | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 12:00 |
| mano | from the terminal r8 ? | 12:01 |
| zequence | Yes, from the terminal | 12:01 |
| mano | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5604572/ | 12:01 |
| zequence | hmm, that's weird | 12:03 |
| mano | what do you think ? won't it work ? | 12:04 |
| mano | take a look on the last message from jack | 12:06 |
| mano | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5604585/ | 12:06 |
| zequence | mano: The key error here is Mon Mar 11 14:05:26 2013: [1m[31mERROR: Failed to acquire device name : Audio1 error : Method "RequestRelease" with signature "i" on interface "org.freedesktop.ReserveDevice1" doesn't exist | 12:07 |
| zequence | [0m | 12:07 |
| zequence | Which is strange, because we were suspending pulseaudio | 12:07 |
| zequence | It seems like pulseaudio is blocking your device | 12:07 |
| zequence | mano: Could you please disconnect your usb device, reboot, and then try starting jack with the command again | 12:08 |
| zequence | pasuspender -- jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 | 12:08 |
| zequence | mano: Use the Up Arrow key to find old commands in the bash history | 12:09 |
| mano | ok i will try . will i be able to talk to u again ? | 12:09 |
| zequence | I'll be here | 12:09 |
| mano | really thank you . i took alot of your time | 12:10 |
| mano | i will reboot now | 12:11 |
| mano | i am back . u r genius | 12:17 |
| devtekbeta | I AM SPARTACUS! | 12:18 |
| mano | i was talking to SO here and helped me 2 solve a problem | 12:18 |
| devtekbeta | then you are in his debt | 12:19 |
| zequence | mano: Seems like pulseaudio might have become entangled somehow. One thing you might want to keep in mind is that when you start jack, make sure pulseaudio is not doing anything | 12:20 |
| zequence | mano: I don't know if your usb device will work with jack though | 12:20 |
| mano | ok ok but wait there is a notice ... why i can't here any thing ? | 12:20 |
| mano | you mean i have to use the main sound card ? | 12:20 |
| zequence | You can try plugging in the usb device, then try: pasuspender -- jackd -d alsa -d hw:1 | 12:21 |
| zequence | !proaudio | 12:21 |
| ubottu | For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 12:21 |
| zequence | that page deals with the audio systems on Ubuntu | 12:21 |
| zequence | Has some helpful tips | 12:21 |
| mano | i wanna know something plz | 12:22 |
| zequence | mano: Also, try just with the command: jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 | 12:22 |
| zequence | mano: What you need to understand about pasuspender is that it suspends pulseaudio. You don't need to do that normally. And if you use card A for pulseaudio and card B for jack, you really don't need it | 12:23 |
| mano | jack is on . and the usb capture signal . why when i play anything on audacious it don't play ? | 12:23 |
| zequence | I don't know what audactious is set to use for output | 12:23 |
| zequence | mano: try hydrogen | 12:24 |
| zequence | That's usually how I do sound checks | 12:24 |
| zequence | Ok, I need to get something to eat. | 12:24 |
| zequence | mano: I think with what we talked about now, you should be able to figure out most of your problems | 12:25 |
| zequence | mano: Another thing: jackd is not the same as jackdbus | 12:25 |
| zequence | qjackctl is by default starting jackdbus | 12:25 |
| zequence | The problem should not be different. Just a different way to control jack | 12:25 |
| mano | yeah yeah i will complete from this point | 12:25 |
| mano | thank you guys | 12:25 |
| zequence | np | 12:25 |
| zequence | It's really too bad with these bugs | 12:26 |
| magic_silver_box | eEeEEEEEEE | 14:01 |
| magic_silver_box | my midi interface is no workky | 14:01 |
| magic_silver_box | don't know what to dew | 14:01 |
| magic_silver_box | so confusing | 14:01 |
| magic_silver_box | emagic unitor8 mk1 | 14:02 |
| magic_silver_box | serial 8x8 midi interface | 14:02 |
| ronator | hello, may I speak german ? Have some questions relating to xfce under ubuntustudio .. thx | 14:10 |
| ronator | nobody there ? | 14:14 |
| ronator | someone there who can answer support questions ? | jemand da, der support-fragen beantworten kann ? | 14:32 |
| ronator | ok I try some keyords | 14:42 |
| ronator | help | 14:42 |
| ronator | support | 14:42 |
| ronator | :) | 14:42 |
| ronator | <-gettin' some coffee | 14:42 |
| ronator | am I muted ? no ! | 14:46 |
| ronator | clock is ticking | 15:15 |
| magic_silver_box | i think people are just away | 15:22 |
| magic_silver_box | wait a bit | 15:22 |
| magic_silver_box | what is your question? | 15:22 |
| magic_silver_box | (i know nothing) | 15:22 |
| ronator | yey, finally there is one :) | 15:23 |
| ronator | ohm german ok or do you prefer english ? | 15:23 |
| magic_silver_box | well english, but i know nothing about linux so i probably cant help | 15:23 |
| magic_silver_box | im just starting and my midi interface isnt showing up | 15:23 |
| ronator | but u use ubuntu studio ? | 15:23 |
| ronator | brave guy ;-) | 15:23 |
| magic_silver_box | just installed it | 15:23 |
| magic_silver_box | so sick of windows | 15:23 |
| ronator | ah, okay than u might be right | 15:24 |
| magic_silver_box | cant take it anymore | 15:24 |
| magic_silver_box | yeah on irc sometimes you have to wait until people are active | 15:24 |
| magic_silver_box | people leave it on all day | 15:24 |
| magic_silver_box | i do | 15:24 |
| magic_silver_box | even if they are away | 15:24 |
| ronator | yeah, but i just switched from gnoe to XFCE and things ar very ... strange to me | 15:24 |
| antto | of course ;] | 15:24 |
| magic_silver_box | i just want midi outs and audio outs and renoise + ardour | 15:24 |
| magic_silver_box | might try another interface | 15:25 |
| ronator | and a low lateny kernel ;-) | 15:25 |
| ronator | +c | 15:25 |
| ronator | well i just miss some customisation options - starting with customizing the bootloader without editing /etc/grub.conf manually | 15:26 |
| magic_silver_box | yeah i like ubuntu a whole lot more than windows already, except i dont even know how to load a driver | 15:26 |
| magic_silver_box | or check if a device is seen | 15:26 |
| ronator | depends on ... | 15:26 |
| magic_silver_box | all the how-to www is incredibly confusing | 15:26 |
| ronator | usb device or midi / pci ? | 15:27 |
| magic_silver_box | its an old serial midi interface | 15:27 |
| magic_silver_box | emagic unitor8 mk1 | 15:27 |
| magic_silver_box | some forum people have said it worked right away after OS install | 15:27 |
| ronator | well this is a general question, where i might help | 15:27 |
| magic_silver_box | mine does not appear | 15:27 |
| magic_silver_box | do i need to install a driver and which one | 15:27 |
| ronator | you connected it to an RS323 interface ? | 15:28 |
| magic_silver_box | and how ::\ | 15:28 |
| magic_silver_box | yeah rs232 | 15:28 |
| magic_silver_box | db9 whatever you call it, com port | 15:28 |
| magic_silver_box | power on before bootup | 15:28 |
| ronator | and com1 up to com4 is initialized in BIOS ? | 15:28 |
| magic_silver_box | let me see | 15:28 |
| magic_silver_box | well i should say yes cause i used a different midi interface on that port when i used windows | 15:29 |
| magic_silver_box | well theres only one serial port | 15:29 |
| magic_silver_box | bios says Onboard Serial Port 1 | 15:30 |
| magic_silver_box | 3F8H/IRQ4 | 15:30 |
| ronator | you could do a "cat /proc/tty/drivers" to get more info about currently used drivers | 15:31 |
| ronator | on root console | 15:31 |
| magic_silver_box | ill try in a minute | 15:31 |
| magic_silver_box | loading | 15:31 |
| ronator | to see all drivers currently loaded do a "lsmod" (list modules) | 15:31 |
| magic_silver_box | i thought maybe there was an IRQ conflict with my pci soundcard but that would be unlikely | 15:31 |
| magic_silver_box | worked in windows | 15:32 |
| ronator | when you switch to linux you cannot suppose everythings works in linux as it did in windows *g | 15:33 |
| magic_silver_box | ttyS is on | 15:33 |
| magic_silver_box | it says irq 4 | 15:33 |
| magic_silver_box | 64-111 whatever that means | 15:33 |
| magic_silver_box | last night i found ttyS0 (com port) is on | 15:33 |
| magic_silver_box | but it doesnt mention any midi driver | 15:33 |
| magic_silver_box | or even any sound driver | 15:33 |
| ronator | whats losmod saying ? anything related to your midi device ? | 15:34 |
| ronator | lsmod | 15:34 |
| ronator | did you try to install a driver already ? | 15:34 |
| magic_silver_box | there are some midi things that look generic | 15:34 |
| magic_silver_box | nothing specific | 15:34 |
| magic_silver_box | i didnt try to install a driver | 15:34 |
| magic_silver_box | i dont know how | 15:34 |
| magic_silver_box | ::/ | 15:35 |
| ronator | do you know if there is a linuxdriver out there for your device ? | 15:35 |
| magic_silver_box | i haven't found one | 15:35 |
| magic_silver_box | much searching | 15:35 |
| ronator | if you can find that ypou could try it the easy way | 15:35 |
| ronator | with "insmod /path/to/devicedriver" | 15:35 |
| ronator | insmod takes care that other needed modules are loaded | 15:35 |
| magic_silver_box | maybe i can find a generic one | 15:36 |
| ronator | well since you must know the BAUD rate it would be better yu find the individual driver . but maybe you should ask those dudes in the froum | 15:36 |
| ronator | forum | 15:36 |
| ronator | they should do a "lsmod" that could help you to find out which driver they are actually using | 15:37 |
| ronator | if they have the same OS (version) and the same device .... | 15:38 |
| ronator | I really wonder why yours doesn't work out of thebox | 15:38 |
| magic_silver_box | yeah | 15:38 |
| ronator | maybe the vendor of your old serial device even offers generic linux drivers - if the company still exists ... did you check their website ? | 15:43 |
| ronator | I just have no linux here and no experience with serial devices - tty0, ttyS0 - I do not know anything *g | 15:44 |
| ronator | but as I said: if someone has this device running, a "lsmod" will provide the needed info for you | 15:44 |
| ronator | display detected system's serial support: "dmesg | grep tty" | 15:46 |
| ronator | output something like | 15:46 |
| ronator | [ 37.531286] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A | 15:46 |
| ronator | [ 37.531841] 00:0b: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A | 15:46 |
| ronator | [ 37.532138] 0000:04:00.3: ttyS1 at I/O 0x1020 (irq = 18) is a 16550A | 15:46 |
| magic_silver_box | yEAH i got ThaT | 15:47 |
| magic_silver_box | so the port is active | 15:47 |
| ronator | yes | 15:47 |
| magic_silver_box | i have to find a driver | 15:47 |
| magic_silver_box | but like | 15:47 |
| magic_silver_box | i can't even find a generic driver | 15:48 |
| magic_silver_box | just cryptic how-to wikis | 15:48 |
| ronator | :) | 15:48 |
| ronator | from which vendor is your device ? | 15:48 |
| magic_silver_box | emagic | 15:48 |
| magic_silver_box | they were bought by apple in 2002 | 15:48 |
| magic_silver_box | no linux support | 15:48 |
| ronator | whats your system saying after that cmd: | 15:48 |
| ronator | setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0123] | 15:48 |
| ronator | should be something like | 15:49 |
| magic_silver_box | the program 'setserial' is not installed | 15:49 |
| magic_silver_box | you can install it by typing sudo apt-get install setserial | 15:49 |
| ronator | is not ^^ ? | 15:49 |
| ronator | hm | 15:49 |
| ronator | do it | 15:49 |
| magic_silver_box | oh i have to get it online | 15:50 |
| magic_silver_box | only hardwire www | 15:50 |
| magic_silver_box | got to move it to other room | 15:50 |
| ronator | ./dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 | 15:51 |
| ronator | ./dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x1020, IRQ: 18 | 15:51 |
| ronator | ./dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 | 15:51 |
| ronator | ./dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3 | 15:51 |
| magic_silver_box | brb | 15:51 |
| magic_silver_box | booting in other room | 15:52 |
| magic_silver_box | there are a bunch of updates it wants to install, but i ignored | 15:53 |
| magic_silver_box | being a windows user, i normally ignore the pc when it tells me to update! | 15:53 |
| magic_silver_box | windows updates make it worse 100% of the time | 15:53 |
| magic_silver_box | like don't do it! | 15:53 |
| ronator | no good idea, specially on windows ^^ | 15:53 |
| magic_silver_box | NO! | 15:53 |
| magic_silver_box | sometimes it updates somehow | 15:53 |
| magic_silver_box | and windows gets even more annoying | 15:53 |
| magic_silver_box | oK brb i think it booted | 15:54 |
| ronator | maybe your hardware will be detected if you do get all those updates ? | 15:54 |
| ronator | i would cleary recommend to do regular updates | 15:54 |
| ronator | even from evil guys like M$ | 15:55 |
| magic_silver_box | oK it is downloading 300 things ::] | 15:55 |
| ronator | btw: is that device a midi keyboard ? | 15:55 |
| magic_silver_box | this will take a while ::] ::] | 15:55 |
| magic_silver_box | no its an 8x8 midi interface | 15:56 |
| magic_silver_box | for all my synths | 15:56 |
| ronator | yeah, i bet you get a new kernel, maybe this will fix everything ;-) | 15:56 |
| magic_silver_box | yeah maybe a simple fix | 15:56 |
| magic_silver_box | ::} ::} | 15:56 |
| magic_silver_box | then i can learn linux at a normal rate instead of trying to learn everything at once | 15:56 |
| magic_silver_box | all i want to do is make beatsssss | 15:57 |
| magic_silver_box | http://www.deepsonic.ch/deep/manuals/emagic_unitor8_mkII_amt8_manual.pdf | 15:57 |
| magic_silver_box | mine is the unitor8 m1 | 15:57 |
| magic_silver_box | mk1 | 15:57 |
| magic_silver_box | very old interface, but people say it is excellent | 15:59 |
| magic_silver_box | i figure if midi is 30 years old, i don't need a new interface, just a well-made one | 15:59 |
| ronator | people say much about old times and old stuff ;-) | 15:59 |
| magic_silver_box | my midiman 4x2 serial one was excellent | 16:00 |
| magic_silver_box | just need more ports | 16:00 |
| magic_silver_box | too many synths :;} | 16:00 |
| magic_silver_box | i can just fit everything on 4 outs and 2 ins, but i think if i put fewer than 16 channels on each output, the timing will be better | 16:02 |
| magic_silver_box | of course midi cannot have 2 simultaneous events on one cable | 16:02 |
| magic_silver_box | so if you have 16 channels on a cable, you can get some timing errors | 16:03 |
| ronator | if you say so ;) | 16:03 |
| magic_silver_box | i used to do things like putting a tiny silence before the sample and moving the midi notes back | 16:03 |
| magic_silver_box | so they wont be at the same time as other notes | 16:03 |
| magic_silver_box | but the sound play at the same moment | 16:04 |
| magic_silver_box | +s | 16:04 |
| ronator | i'd suggest you do all those updates, reboot it and maybe we will meet here later again. I am about to leave the office ;-) | 16:04 |
| ronator | meanwhile you could ask those who got that device running what "lsmod" is saying ... | 16:05 |
| magic_silver_box | yes | 16:05 |
| magic_silver_box | i will do these things | 16:05 |
| magic_silver_box | you have been very helpful! | 16:05 |
| ronator | i tried to at least - serial is not my world ^^ | 16:05 |
| magic_silver_box | ::} ::} | 16:05 |
| ronator | maybe i get some karma and soe one can help ME :) | 16:05 |
| ronator | so see you later then .... | 16:06 |
| ronator | and good luck !!! | 16:06 |
| magic_silver_box | what a nice guy | 16:32 |
| magic_silver_box | still installing things | 16:32 |
