[06:34] UNITOR NO WORKY [06:34] ~~~~~~~::/ [08:35] Change the login icon: I'm running Ubuntustudio 12.04. Want to customize the default login icon [09:09] How do I change the login icon in Ubuntustudio 12.04 http://imagebin.org/249823 [09:10] cfhowlett: Don't have lightgdm installed on this machine, but if I would make a wild guess, there might be configs in /etc/lightgdm/* [09:12] zequence, I found that. there's nothing in there that directs to an icon ... [09:13] shame because this is the replacement icon ... http://imagebin.org/249824 [09:14] i dont wanna log out to try it but perhapse this will work? [09:15] http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1585548#post1585548 [09:16] SunStar, I'll look again. It appears to be a specific lightdm config ... [09:19] cfhowlett: Cool looking icon in deed [09:20] zequence, yep. now to incorporate it ... [09:20] zequence, hey I sent a couple of wallpaper suggestions to the list. did you see? [09:21] lol you can just rename it to the current icon [09:21] 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] zequence, OK ... [09:22] 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] 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] SunStar, right method, but wrong greeter program. I need to configure lightDM ... [09:26] try adding "Icon=/path/to/image" into file:///var/lib/lightdm/.cache/lightdm-gtk-greeter/state ? [09:27] no that doesnt seem right n/m [11:29] hi [11:36] hi [11:39] mano: hello [11:40] may u help me plz . iam gonna destroy my laptop if u don't [11:41] mano: I hardly think your laptop will be destroyed by Linux, but tell us, what seems to be the problem? [11:42] 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] always : ERROR ERROR EROOR [11:43] mano: There's a bug with jackdbus. Makes it crash often, when you try to stop it [11:43] mano: When that happens, kill it in a terminal, like this: killall -9 jackdbus [11:43] Then try again [11:43] Also, make sure you aren't using desktop audio, while trying to start jack. [11:43] Close down all pulseaudio applications [11:43] the problem isn't that it don't wanna stop .. it deosn't even work [11:44] ..this is, if you are using the same audio card with pulseaudio and jack [11:44] mano: Have you ever got jack to start? [11:45] mano: do this command: cat /proc/asound/cards [11:45] mano: paste here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [11:45] one time after installing LINUX . then i tryed to connect my studio tools on the laptop . then it stoped [11:45] mano: I'll help you. Just follow my instructions [11:45] so what is the first thing to do [11:46] mano: as I said, do this command: cat /proc/asound/cards [11:46] paste here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [11:49] done [11:50] mano: Give me the link [11:50] ouch i think i lost it : y don't i write here ? [11:51] mano: Each paste gets it's own link. You can use Shift+Ctrl+T to open closed tabs [11:51] Just make another paste, if you can't find it [11:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5604552/ [11:53] mano: So, which device are you attempting to start jack with? The onboard, or the headset? [11:54] 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] i managed to play the sound using the usb but ardour don't work because of jack [11:55] mano: First, let's see if the onboard device works. We begin by killing jack, just in case [11:55] killall -9 jackdbus [11:55] Then, we start jack, and suspending pulseaudio at the same time: [11:55] pasuspender -- jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 [11:56] i typed the first command [11:56] killall -9 jackdbus [11:57] If it says nothing, it killed jackdbus. If it says "no process found", jackdbus was not running [11:57] Now, try the second command: pasuspender -- jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 [11:57] i typed it twice and got the 2 answers [11:58] ooops i saw the word failed [11:59] will i paste the new info for you ? [11:59] mano: No [11:59] The first command is not important. It's just for making sure jackdbus is killed [11:59] Once you're done, try the second command [11:59] If the second command gives you an error, please do paste [12:00] i did and got alot of sentence but the last one is enogh it said /: failed to oped server [12:00] mano: Paste the entire message from jack [12:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [12:01] from the terminal r8 ? [12:01] Yes, from the terminal [12:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5604572/ [12:03] hmm, that's weird [12:04] what do you think ? won't it work ? [12:06] take a look on the last message from jack [12:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5604585/ [12:07] 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] [0m [12:07] Which is strange, because we were suspending pulseaudio [12:07] It seems like pulseaudio is blocking your device [12:08] mano: Could you please disconnect your usb device, reboot, and then try starting jack with the command again [12:08] pasuspender -- jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 [12:09] mano: Use the Up Arrow key to find old commands in the bash history [12:09] ok i will try . will i be able to talk to u again ? [12:09] I'll be here [12:10] really thank you . i took alot of your time [12:11] i will reboot now [12:17] i am back . u r genius [12:18] I AM SPARTACUS! [12:18] i was talking to SO here and helped me 2 solve a problem [12:19] then you are in his debt [12:20] 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] mano: I don't know if your usb device will work with jack though [12:20] ok ok but wait there is a notice ... why i can't here any thing ? [12:20] you mean i have to use the main sound card ? [12:21] You can try plugging in the usb device, then try: pasuspender -- jackd -d alsa -d hw:1 [12:21] !proaudio [12:21] For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro [12:21] that page deals with the audio systems on Ubuntu [12:21] Has some helpful tips [12:22] i wanna know something plz [12:22] mano: Also, try just with the command: jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 [12:23] 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] jack is on . and the usb capture signal . why when i play anything on audacious it don't play ? [12:23] I don't know what audactious is set to use for output [12:24] mano: try hydrogen [12:24] That's usually how I do sound checks [12:24] Ok, I need to get something to eat. [12:25] mano: I think with what we talked about now, you should be able to figure out most of your problems [12:25] mano: Another thing: jackd is not the same as jackdbus [12:25] qjackctl is by default starting jackdbus [12:25] The problem should not be different. Just a different way to control jack [12:25] yeah yeah i will complete from this point [12:25] thank you guys [12:25] np [12:26] It's really too bad with these bugs [14:01] eEeEEEEEEE [14:01] my midi interface is no workky [14:01] don't know what to dew [14:01] so confusing [14:02] emagic unitor8 mk1 [14:02] serial 8x8 midi interface [14:10] hello, may I speak german ? Have some questions relating to xfce under ubuntustudio .. thx [14:14] nobody there ? [14:32] someone there who can answer support questions ? | jemand da, der support-fragen beantworten kann ? [14:42] ok I try some keyords [14:42] help [14:42] support [14:42] :) [14:42] <-gettin' some coffee [14:46] am I muted ? no ! [15:15] clock is ticking [15:22] i think people are just away [15:22] wait a bit [15:22] what is your question? [15:22] (i know nothing) [15:23] yey, finally there is one :) [15:23] ohm german ok or do you prefer english ? [15:23] well english, but i know nothing about linux so i probably cant help [15:23] im just starting and my midi interface isnt showing up [15:23] but u use ubuntu studio ? [15:23] brave guy ;-) [15:23] just installed it [15:23] so sick of windows [15:24] ah, okay than u might be right [15:24] cant take it anymore [15:24] yeah on irc sometimes you have to wait until people are active [15:24] people leave it on all day [15:24] i do [15:24] even if they are away [15:24] yeah, but i just switched from gnoe to XFCE and things ar very ... strange to me [15:24] of course ;] [15:24] i just want midi outs and audio outs and renoise + ardour [15:25] might try another interface [15:25] and a low lateny kernel ;-) [15:25] +c [15:26] well i just miss some customisation options - starting with customizing the bootloader without editing /etc/grub.conf manually [15:26] yeah i like ubuntu a whole lot more than windows already, except i dont even know how to load a driver [15:26] or check if a device is seen [15:26] depends on ... [15:26] all the how-to www is incredibly confusing [15:27] usb device or midi / pci ? [15:27] its an old serial midi interface [15:27] emagic unitor8 mk1 [15:27] some forum people have said it worked right away after OS install [15:27] well this is a general question, where i might help [15:27] mine does not appear [15:27] do i need to install a driver and which one [15:28] you connected it to an RS323 interface ? [15:28] and how ::\ [15:28] yeah rs232 [15:28] db9 whatever you call it, com port [15:28] power on before bootup [15:28] and com1 up to com4 is initialized in BIOS ? [15:28] let me see [15:29] well i should say yes cause i used a different midi interface on that port when i used windows [15:29] well theres only one serial port [15:30] bios says Onboard Serial Port 1 [15:30] 3F8H/IRQ4 [15:31] you could do a "cat /proc/tty/drivers" to get more info about currently used drivers [15:31] on root console [15:31] ill try in a minute [15:31] loading [15:31] to see all drivers currently loaded do a "lsmod" (list modules) [15:31] i thought maybe there was an IRQ conflict with my pci soundcard but that would be unlikely [15:32] worked in windows [15:33] when you switch to linux you cannot suppose everythings works in linux as it did in windows *g [15:33] ttyS is on [15:33] it says irq 4 [15:33] 64-111 whatever that means [15:33] last night i found ttyS0 (com port) is on [15:33] but it doesnt mention any midi driver [15:33] or even any sound driver [15:34] whats losmod saying ? anything related to your midi device ? [15:34] lsmod [15:34] did you try to install a driver already ? [15:34] there are some midi things that look generic [15:34] nothing specific [15:34] i didnt try to install a driver [15:34] i dont know how [15:35] ::/ [15:35] do you know if there is a linuxdriver out there for your device ? [15:35] i haven't found one [15:35] much searching [15:35] if you can find that ypou could try it the easy way [15:35] with "insmod /path/to/devicedriver" [15:35] insmod takes care that other needed modules are loaded [15:36] maybe i can find a generic one [15:36] 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] forum [15:37] they should do a "lsmod" that could help you to find out which driver they are actually using [15:38] if they have the same OS (version) and the same device .... [15:38] I really wonder why yours doesn't work out of thebox [15:38] yeah [15:43] maybe the vendor of your old serial device even offers generic linux drivers - if the company still exists ... did you check their website ? [15:44] I just have no linux here and no experience with serial devices - tty0, ttyS0 - I do not know anything *g [15:44] but as I said: if someone has this device running, a "lsmod" will provide the needed info for you [15:46] display detected system's serial support: "dmesg | grep tty" [15:46] output something like [15:46] [ 37.531286] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [15:46] [ 37.531841] 00:0b: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [15:46] [ 37.532138] 0000:04:00.3: ttyS1 at I/O 0x1020 (irq = 18) is a 16550A [15:47] yEAH i got ThaT [15:47] so the port is active [15:47] yes [15:47] i have to find a driver [15:47] but like [15:48] i can't even find a generic driver [15:48] just cryptic how-to wikis [15:48] :) [15:48] from which vendor is your device ? [15:48] emagic [15:48] they were bought by apple in 2002 [15:48] no linux support [15:48] whats your system saying after that cmd: [15:48] setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0123] [15:49] should be something like [15:49] the program 'setserial' is not installed [15:49] you can install it by typing sudo apt-get install setserial [15:49] is not ^^ ? [15:49] hm [15:49] do it [15:50] oh i have to get it online [15:50] only hardwire www [15:50] got to move it to other room [15:51] ./dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 [15:51] ./dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x1020, IRQ: 18 [15:51] ./dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 [15:51] ./dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3 [15:51] brb [15:52] booting in other room [15:53] there are a bunch of updates it wants to install, but i ignored [15:53] being a windows user, i normally ignore the pc when it tells me to update! [15:53] windows updates make it worse 100% of the time [15:53] like don't do it! [15:53] no good idea, specially on windows ^^ [15:53] NO! [15:53] sometimes it updates somehow [15:53] and windows gets even more annoying [15:54] oK brb i think it booted [15:54] maybe your hardware will be detected if you do get all those updates ? [15:54] i would cleary recommend to do regular updates [15:55] even from evil guys like M$ [15:55] oK it is downloading 300 things ::] [15:55] btw: is that device a midi keyboard ? [15:55] this will take a while ::] ::] [15:56] no its an 8x8 midi interface [15:56] for all my synths [15:56] yeah, i bet you get a new kernel, maybe this will fix everything ;-) [15:56] yeah maybe a simple fix [15:56] ::} ::} [15:56] then i can learn linux at a normal rate instead of trying to learn everything at once [15:57] all i want to do is make beatsssss [15:57] http://www.deepsonic.ch/deep/manuals/emagic_unitor8_mkII_amt8_manual.pdf [15:57] mine is the unitor8 m1 [15:57] mk1 [15:59] very old interface, but people say it is excellent [15:59] i figure if midi is 30 years old, i don't need a new interface, just a well-made one [15:59] people say much about old times and old stuff ;-) [16:00] my midiman 4x2 serial one was excellent [16:00] just need more ports [16:00] too many synths :;} [16:02] 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] of course midi cannot have 2 simultaneous events on one cable [16:03] so if you have 16 channels on a cable, you can get some timing errors [16:03] if you say so ;) [16:03] i used to do things like putting a tiny silence before the sample and moving the midi notes back [16:03] so they wont be at the same time as other notes [16:04] but the sound play at the same moment [16:04] +s [16:04] 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 ;-) [16:05] meanwhile you could ask those who got that device running what "lsmod" is saying ... [16:05] yes [16:05] i will do these things [16:05] you have been very helpful! [16:05] i tried to at least - serial is not my world ^^ [16:05] ::} ::} [16:05] maybe i get some karma and soe one can help ME :) [16:06] so see you later then .... [16:06] and good luck !!! [16:32] what a nice guy [16:32] still installing things [17:15] still installing! i guess 310 updates take a whie [17:16] l [17:38] no worky [18:22] Hi ! [18:23] Am i alone ?
