| Benjamin__ | Hi All, I installed 12.10 on a MBP with a broke monitor. I am using an external monitor and can see desktop which appears to be mine but it's completely blank except for background image. I was able to alt+f2 to run terminal but after reboot that options not showing up. Oh I can see a log screen either. I can tab then enter and out of the far right side pops the menus for user/session/language and I was able to figure out to | 02:44 |
| Benjamin__ | enter my pass to login. Anyone know off the top why this is happening to me? Am I missing something very obvious? | 02:44 |

| tjingboem | zequence, can i talk to you a bit about a soundcard? | 15:41 |
| famax8bis | oiiiii | 15:50 |
| zequence | tjingboem: Were you the one who just ordered a 1010lt? | 16:13 |
| tjingboem | yes - but i just got a message that this card is no longer available | 16:14 |
| zequence | too bad | 16:14 |
| tjingboem | well i'm looking at this one: http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/computers-en-software/geluidskaarten-en-luidsprekers/m651990217-m-audio-delta-1010.html?c=8c285449651fa109c354bbabe740c1b&previousPage=lr | 16:14 |
| tjingboem | it is the version with the breakout box | 16:15 |
| zequence | Yeah | 16:15 |
| tjingboem | do you know if this one is as good as 1010LT? | 16:16 |
| zequence | 1010LT is the light versions | 16:16 |
| zequence | This one I guess has balanced I/O | 16:16 |
| tjingboem | have you heard that it works all right with ubuntu? | 16:17 |
| zequence | It's the same exact chip - really on all the delta devices | 16:17 |
| tjingboem | must work then | 16:18 |
| zequence | Yes. All the delta cards use the same driver | 16:18 |
| zequence | They have the same exact chip. The only difference is the actual connectors, and how many you ahve | 16:18 |
| tjingboem | thanks, i was looking for some reinsurance :) | 16:18 |
| tjingboem | i will buy this one instead | 16:19 |
| zequence | I'm not fully comfortable with that price though. The card can be really old by now | 16:19 |
| zequence | I think it was released more than 10 years ago | 16:19 |
| tjingboem | i was in the process of buying the 1010LT for 200 euro | 16:19 |
| tjingboem | new | 16:20 |
| zequence | Woops. | 16:20 |
| tjingboem | i am looking for a decent card with 6 outputs | 16:20 |
| tjingboem | that works with UbuntuStudio | 16:20 |
| zequence | Any PCI card will most likely work | 16:21 |
| zequence | I was just looking at prices for 1010LT. In deed, it's still at the range of 200 € | 16:22 |
| zequence | The 1010 is better than 1010LT, no doubt | 16:22 |
| zequence | Just a matter of whether it really is in perfect shape or not | 16:22 |
| tjingboem | the card is still technically good, even for modern times | 16:22 |
| zequence | oh, yes. It's still an awesome card for audio. | 16:23 |
| zequence | tjingboem: Did you check here, btw? http://www.thomann.de/ | 16:24 |
| tjingboem | looking right now.. | 16:24 |
| tjingboem | zequence, i have to go | 16:28 |
| tjingboem | suddenly | 16:28 |
| tjingboem | thank you very much | 16:28 |
| tjingboem | i will have to look at all this later. | 16:29 |
| tjingboem | bye | 16:29 |
| tjingboem | sorry, bye | 16:29 |
| airlynx | zequence, just curious about the future of that patched version of recordmydesktop, will it be included in Ubuntu main repositories in the future? I'd just like to know in case I get questions about it later | 19:41 |
| zequence | airlynx: I need to do a SRU (stable release update) on it. Once it's done, it'll be updated for all releases- I | 19:43 |
| zequence | I'll go as far back as 12.04 | 19:43 |
| airlynx | zequence, excellent, I'm excited to see an old bug fixed, also I've recently uploaded my results to Youtube if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_pLJ8np1l0 | 19:44 |
| len | airlynx, Looks good. It is always interesting to see how what we put together is being used. | 19:52 |
| len | airlynx, FYI a2jmidid -e bridges alsamidi and jackmidi | 19:53 |
| airlynx | len, thanks, I've used a2jmidid before but can never remember the name so I stopped using it, lol | 19:53 |
| len | It is quite common to have it run on jackdbus startup in the qjackctl config | 19:54 |
| airlynx | len, that is an excellent idea, would I add it to "Execute script on Startup"? | 19:55 |
| * len looks | 19:55 | |
| len | after startup, jack has to be already running | 19:56 |
| len | The command I use is: a2jmidid -e & | 19:56 |
| airlynx | len, gonna try it right now, I was just messing about with Yoshimi looking for a simple fix | 19:57 |
| len | The & allows qjackctl to keep running | 19:57 |
| airlynx | when I originally published those voices I got a few complaints in the LAU mailing list that they didn't work on Yoshimi, lol | 19:57 |
| len | We get lots of complaints that some program that isn't even in the ubuntu repos doesn't work too. | 19:58 |
| airlynx | len, that works beautifully, thank you, maybe I'll have to do another video about Yoshimi now | 19:59 |
| len | :) | 19:59 |
| airlynx | for the record, what exactly is Yoshimi's advantage over Zyn | 20:00 |
| len | You are asking the wrong person :) the only thing I can think of is someone using firewire for their midi device would not have an alsa midi. I have heard that jackmidi is more timing stable as well. | 20:01 |
| len | I don't do a lot of kb stuff, I play bass/guitar mostly. | 20:02 |
| len | I use midi for drums or maybe some string/synth pad kinds of things | 20:02 |
| len | The last project I did was totally analog in. | 20:03 |
| airlynx | I do almost %100 midi recordings, the only time I record anything analog is trying to create a specific sound effect which I have an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra for which works beautifully in Ubuntu Studio btw | 20:04 |
| len | That is pretty common. | 20:04 |
| len | That or all internal sounds with just voice added | 20:04 |
| len | Most home project studios feature whatever the owner is good at. SO KB players do KB and guitar players do guitar | 20:06 |
| airlynx | makes sense to me | 20:06 |
| airlynx | I keep almost everything I've ever recorded at http://van-dan.com/linux-music/ | 20:08 |
| len | I haven't done enough to publish, mostly demo so someone else knows how a song goes. | 20:11 |
| len | I need to spend some time and polish some stuff to do that with. | 20:11 |
| len | My browser doesn't like mp3s :P OGGs work fine, but mp3s use the video player | 20:12 |
| airlynx | A lot my stuff is severly unpolished, but published anyways, lol. And I use mp3s for all my non-open-source friends, lol | 20:13 |
| Len-nb | The mp3 problem needs to be fixed anyway. | 20:16 |
| Len-nb | I am going out on a date with my wife... so I'll talk to you later | 20:16 |
| airlynx | have fun | 20:17 |
| zequence | airlynx: Was on the phone. Looks good. The whole desktop was not included, but you mentioned something about some weirdness | 20:19 |
| airlynx | zequence, it has some display issues if I try to record too large of an area, but if I define a smaller area before recording it works fine | 20:20 |
| airlynx | that may just be my computer not able to keep up with everything all at once | 20:20 |
| zequence | ok. Well, I should probably try to record a bit myself to see how it works out | 20:24 |
| airlynx | zequence, just messing about, I'm able to record full screen smoothly if I drop my resolution to 1280x720 (as opposed to the default 1366x768) | 21:52 |
| len | airlynx, drag and drop onto audacious works though. | 22:30 |
| knobydobs | Hia - having a problem with mouse inputs and HID keyboards... | 23:50 |
