=== Lumpy is now known as Lump|AFK [01:18] hello [02:44] 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] enter my pass to login. Anyone know off the top why this is happening to me? Am I missing something very obvious? [02:46] Errata: s/can/can't/ s/right/left/ === _dancer is now known as MOSMarauder [15:41] zequence, can i talk to you a bit about a soundcard? [15:50] oiiiii [16:13] tjingboem: Were you the one who just ordered a 1010lt? [16:14] yes - but i just got a message that this card is no longer available [16:14] too bad [16:14] 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] it is the version with the breakout box [16:15] Yeah [16:16] do you know if this one is as good as 1010LT? [16:16] 1010LT is the light versions [16:16] This one I guess has balanced I/O [16:17] have you heard that it works all right with ubuntu? [16:17] It's the same exact chip - really on all the delta devices [16:18] must work then [16:18] Yes. All the delta cards use the same driver [16:18] They have the same exact chip. The only difference is the actual connectors, and how many you ahve [16:18] thanks, i was looking for some reinsurance :) [16:19] i will buy this one instead [16:19] I'm not fully comfortable with that price though. The card can be really old by now [16:19] I think it was released more than 10 years ago [16:19] i was in the process of buying the 1010LT for 200 euro [16:20] new [16:20] Woops. [16:20] i am looking for a decent card with 6 outputs [16:20] that works with UbuntuStudio [16:21] Any PCI card will most likely work [16:22] I was just looking at prices for 1010LT. In deed, it's still at the range of 200 € [16:22] The 1010 is better than 1010LT, no doubt [16:22] Just a matter of whether it really is in perfect shape or not [16:22] the card is still technically good, even for modern times [16:23] oh, yes. It's still an awesome card for audio. [16:24] tjingboem: Did you check here, btw? http://www.thomann.de/ [16:24] looking right now.. [16:28] zequence, i have to go [16:28] suddenly [16:28] thank you very much [16:29] i will have to look at all this later. [16:29] bye [16:29] sorry, bye [19:41] 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] 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] I'll go as far back as 12.04 [19:44] 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] airlynx, Looks good. It is always interesting to see how what we put together is being used. [19:53] airlynx, FYI a2jmidid -e bridges alsamidi and jackmidi [19:53] len, thanks, I've used a2jmidid before but can never remember the name so I stopped using it, lol [19:54] It is quite common to have it run on jackdbus startup in the qjackctl config [19:55] len, that is an excellent idea, would I add it to "Execute script on Startup"? [19:55] * len looks [19:56] after startup, jack has to be already running [19:56] The command I use is: a2jmidid -e & [19:57] len, gonna try it right now, I was just messing about with Yoshimi looking for a simple fix [19:57] The & allows qjackctl to keep running [19:57] 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] We get lots of complaints that some program that isn't even in the ubuntu repos doesn't work too. [19:59] len, that works beautifully, thank you, maybe I'll have to do another video about Yoshimi now [19:59] :) [20:00] for the record, what exactly is Yoshimi's advantage over Zyn [20:01] 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] I don't do a lot of kb stuff, I play bass/guitar mostly. [20:02] I use midi for drums or maybe some string/synth pad kinds of things [20:03] The last project I did was totally analog in. [20:04] 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] That is pretty common. [20:04] That or all internal sounds with just voice added [20:06] Most home project studios feature whatever the owner is good at. SO KB players do KB and guitar players do guitar [20:06] makes sense to me [20:08] I keep almost everything I've ever recorded at http://van-dan.com/linux-music/ [20:11] I haven't done enough to publish, mostly demo so someone else knows how a song goes. [20:11] I need to spend some time and polish some stuff to do that with. [20:12] My browser doesn't like mp3s :P OGGs work fine, but mp3s use the video player [20:13] 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] The mp3 problem needs to be fixed anyway. [20:16] I am going out on a date with my wife... so I'll talk to you later [20:17] have fun [20:19] airlynx: Was on the phone. Looks good. The whole desktop was not included, but you mentioned something about some weirdness [20:20] 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] that may just be my computer not able to keep up with everything all at once [20:24] ok. Well, I should probably try to record a bit myself to see how it works out [21:52] 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] airlynx, drag and drop onto audacious works though. [23:50] Hia - having a problem with mouse inputs and HID keyboards...
