[01:18] <tigartist> hello
[02:44] <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?
[02:46] <Benjamin__> Errata: s/can/can't/ s/right/left/
[15:41] <tjingboem> zequence, can i talk to you a bit about a soundcard?
[15:50] <famax8bis> oiiiii
[16:13] <zequence> tjingboem: Were you the one who just ordered a 1010lt?
[16:14] <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
[16:15] <tjingboem> it is the version with the breakout box
[16:15] <zequence> Yeah
[16:16] <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
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <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 :)
[16:19] <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
[16:20] <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
[16:21] <zequence> Any PCI card will most likely work
[16:22] <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
[16:23] <zequence> oh, yes. It's still an awesome card for audio.
[16:24] <zequence> tjingboem: Did you check here, btw? http://www.thomann.de/
[16:24] <tjingboem> looking right now..
[16:28] <tjingboem> zequence, i have to go
[16:28] <tjingboem> suddenly
[16:28] <tjingboem> thank you very much
[16:29] <tjingboem> i will have to look at all this later.
[16:29] <tjingboem> bye
[16:29] <tjingboem> sorry, bye
[19:41] <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
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <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
[19:52] <len> airlynx, Looks good. It is always interesting to see how what we put together is being used.
[19:53] <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
[19:54] <len> It is quite common to have it run on jackdbus startup in the qjackctl config
[19:55] <airlynx> len, that is an excellent idea, would I add it to "Execute script on Startup"?
[19:55]  * len looks
[19:56] <len> after startup, jack has to be already running
[19:56] <len> The command I use is: a2jmidid -e &
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <len> We get lots of complaints that some program that isn't even in the ubuntu repos doesn't work too.
[19:59] <airlynx> len, that works beautifully, thank you, maybe I'll have to do another video about Yoshimi now
[19:59] <len>  :)
[20:00] <airlynx> for the record, what exactly is Yoshimi's advantage over Zyn
[20:01] <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.
[20:02] <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
[20:03] <len> The last project I did was totally analog in.
[20:04] <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
[20:06] <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
[20:08] <airlynx> I keep almost everything I've ever recorded at http://van-dan.com/linux-music/
[20:11] <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.
[20:12] <len> My browser doesn't like mp3s :P OGGs work fine, but mp3s use the video player
[20:13] <airlynx> A lot my stuff is severly unpolished, but published anyways, lol.  And I use mp3s for all my non-open-source friends, lol
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <airlynx> have fun
[20:19] <zequence> airlynx: Was on the phone. Looks good. The whole desktop was not included, but you mentioned something about some weirdness
[20:20] <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
[20:24] <zequence> ok. Well, I should probably try to record a bit myself to see how it works out
[21:52] <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)
[22:30] <len> airlynx, drag and drop onto audacious works though.
[23:50] <knobydobs> Hia - having a problem with mouse inputs and HID keyboards...
