| zequence | I think it's more than 10 years old | 00:00 |

| Squishy | Cool. The oldest thing i have is a SNES. Everything else tech wise is at most 3 years old | 00:01 |
| Squishy | going down for a restart now | 00:06 |
| Squishy | back soon | 00:06 |
| Squishy | Up and running | 00:10 |
| Squishy | everything seems fine | 00:10 |
| zequence | Squishy: If you want to try out some of the audio apps, have a look at how to start jack first. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro#UbuntuStudio.2BAC8-ProAudioIntro.2BAC8-1204.Starting_Jack | 00:12 |
| zequence | Some apps only support jack | 00:13 |
| zequence | Basically, you only need to select the correct audio device, and hit start | 00:13 |
| zequence | Then open whatever audio app you like | 00:13 |
| Squishy | Thanks i'll need that soon. | 00:13 |
| Squishy | I'm going to stick to video for the moment though. See if i can find something like Virtualdub | 00:14 |
| zequence | Ah, right | 00:14 |
| zequence | Well, we haven't been doing much work on enabling ripping. More focus has been on content creation | 00:15 |
| zequence | And we don't actually have anyone helping us with that right now. | 00:16 |
| Squishy | That's fine. I rip most of my dvds from within windows anyway | 00:16 |
| zequence | most of the devs are audio orientated | 00:16 |
| Squishy | I just want to be able to do stuff like cropping, stretching, applying filters and hardcoding subtitles | 00:16 |
| zequence | kdenlive is probably the best video editor | 00:17 |
| zequence | For making movies | 00:17 |
| Squishy | Half the movies i watch are either norwegian/swedish or japanese/korean. | 00:17 |
| Squishy | Thanks, I have mkvtoolnix installed now so i should be good to go from there. | 00:18 |
| zequence | Just got my amp miced up. Let's see if the isolation around it is enough.. (going to be recording guitars from home for a while) | 00:18 |
| zequence | Squishy: Have fun | 00:18 |
| Squishy | Yeah you to. Thanks for the help. | 00:19 |
| nixnine | hey guys, my volume control has disappeared from the desktop panel. How do I get it back? | 00:35 |
| zequence | nixnine: right click on the panel to add/remove applets | 00:55 |
| zequence | Not sure about this though | 00:55 |
| zequence | Could be pulseaudio is not running | 00:56 |
| zequence | on some desktop systems the applet will only show if PA is running - I'm not on XFCE right now | 00:56 |
| nixnine | Tried your suggestion. Didn't work. How do I tell if pulse is running? | 00:56 |
| zequence | nixnine: What didn't work? Adding a volume applet? | 00:57 |
| zequence | To see if pulseaudio is running: ps -eo comm | grep pulse | 00:57 |
| nixnine | yes. The option isn't in the panel prefs | 00:57 |
| zequence | It's not a preference | 00:58 |
| zequence | All the items in the panel can be removed or added | 00:58 |
| zequence | nixnine: Right click on the panel, then go to Panel -> Add new items | 01:01 |
| nixnine | Okay. Found it. Thanks | 01:02 |
| zequence | nixnine: Actually, the volume applet is a part of the indicator plugin | 01:02 |
| zequence | audio mixer is not the same thing | 01:02 |
| nixnine | No? | 01:02 |
| zequence | The default volume applet can't be added separately | 01:02 |
| zequence | The volume applet should be next to a network applet | 01:03 |
| zequence | Both exist within the indicator area | 01:03 |
| nixnine | It's not. | 01:04 |
| zequence | nixnine: Did you check if pulse was running? | 01:04 |
| zequence | ps -eo comm | grep pulse | 01:05 |
| zequence | if the return is "pulseaudio", it's running | 01:05 |
| zequence | actually, I don't think the applet should disapper from PA not running. It should be greyed out, that's all | 01:06 |
| zequence | gotta go. good luck | 01:07 |

| abbadon | i have an issue that i cant find in any forums or Q/As | 08:17 |
| Andrei | hello, can anyone help me with a single and easy problem, please? :) | 13:19 |
| zequence | Andrei: Just ask | 13:19 |
| Andrei | okay, my problem is that my screen goes all the time after 10 min off | 13:20 |
| Andrei | but my settings are set to 60 min | 13:20 |
| zequence | I see | 13:20 |
| zequence | I'll need to boot a Ubuntu Studio session to see how that works | 13:21 |
| Andrei | its the same like linuxmint | 13:21 |
| Andrei | in the settings , but yeah nice if u would boot your ubuntu session :) | 13:21 |
| zequence | Andrei: did you change settings for screens saver? | 13:22 |
| Andrei | or is there a way to start the settings with root acess? maybe thats my problem. | 13:22 |
| zequence | I think the default is it goes black after 10 min | 13:22 |
| Andrei | no | 13:22 |
| Andrei | i changed the settings in "energy saving" | 13:22 |
| Andrei | Ohhhhhh... | 13:23 |
| zequence | You probably want to turn off the screen saver completely | 13:23 |
| Andrei | i guess that was my problem, thx you soo much | 13:24 |
| zequence | np | 13:24 |
| Andrei | buuut.. can i ask you a few more questions? just general type of questions i have about ubuntu | 13:24 |
| zequence | Ubuntu, or Ubuntu Studio? | 13:25 |
| Andrei | ALSA, | 13:25 |
| Andrei | so i guess studio | 13:25 |
| zequence | Yeah, just ask | 13:25 |
| zequence | Also, just in case you have read.. | 13:25 |
| zequence | !proaudio | 13:25 |
| ubottu | For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 13:25 |
| zequence | haven't* | 13:26 |
| Andrei | !proaudio | 13:26 |
| Andrei | sry ^^, no how can i reset the qjack drivers when they get stucked | 13:26 |
| zequence | qjackctl is only a control application | 13:27 |
| zequence | It can control all forms of jack. By default, it controls jackdbus | 13:27 |
| zequence | When stopping jackdbus, it sometimes crashes | 13:27 |
| zequence | To kill it: killall -9 jackdbus | 13:27 |
| Andrei | and to start it back? | 13:27 |
| zequence | Just start it | 13:27 |
| Andrei | just klick on icon | 13:27 |
| zequence | I'm trying to get a fix for this bug into Ubuntu, but it's taking a very long time | 13:28 |
| zequence | This is fixed on 13.04 | 13:28 |
| Andrei | can it crash if i use more then 1 application to work with sound input? | 13:28 |
| zequence | No, you can use any amount of applications at the same time | 13:29 |
| zequence | that's the beauty of jack. You can connect them to each other | 13:29 |
| Andrei | okay, then i have a little problem with it i guess :) | 13:29 |
| Andrei | i guess u know rackarack | 13:29 |
| zequence | Our beta1 - final release will be out in 1 month http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/13.04/beta-1/ | 13:29 |
| zequence | yes, I know it | 13:30 |
| Andrei | Rakarack* | 13:30 |
| Andrei | it just have a weird bug i guess, after i close Rakarack i have to restart my pc, otherwise i cant get any input sound | 13:30 |
| Andrei | thats the reason i asked you how to close it properly without restarting :) | 13:31 |
| zequence | Strange | 13:32 |
| Andrei | wait a minute | 13:32 |
| Andrei | is the 13.04 beta release with Wubi? | 13:32 |
| zequence | It should be wubi enabled, yes | 13:33 |
| zequence | I haven't tried to confirm | 13:33 |
| zequence | I don't recommend it though | 13:33 |
| zequence | Hard disk performance is very much worse | 13:33 |
| Andrei | i have no other way to install ubuntu, its a notebook with preinstalled win 7 and i still have garanty on it | 13:34 |
| Andrei | but the beta is not recommended for daily use, isnt it? | 13:35 |
| zequence | it's fine | 13:35 |
| zequence | actually, the release has been fine during the whole development period, pretty much | 13:36 |
| zequence | some people would prefer it to become a rolling release | 13:36 |
| Andrei | what is a rolling release? | 13:36 |
| zequence | it will only be supported for 9 months. This is a change coming with 13.04 | 13:37 |
| zequence | rolling release is when there is no specific release. It just keeps updating | 13:37 |
| zequence | The development release is like that | 13:37 |
| Andrei | non-LTE | 13:37 |
| Andrei | or something like that , right? | 13:37 |
| zequence | No. 13.04 is not LTS, but it is a specific release, which has a End of Life | 13:38 |
| zequence | The development release will be continuously updated, week by week | 13:38 |
| Andrei | ahhhh, okay i understand | 13:38 |
| zequence | If you want to keep a very stable machine for long periods (not counting the jack bug), LTS is of course the best choice | 13:40 |
| zequence | Especially now that non LTS releases will only live for 9 months | 13:40 |
| Andrei | 9 months of updates, and after this 9 months no more updates, right? | 13:40 |
| zequence | But, you could also use the development/rolling release instead of a non LTS release | 13:41 |
| zequence | The thing is, with releases like 13.04, the updates will only be security and bug fixing updates | 13:41 |
| Andrei | and no more "new features" updates, right? | 13:41 |
| Andrei | wait wait wait, soo the 13.04 comes in april | 13:43 |
| Andrei | but its only dev version | 13:43 |
| zequence | 13.04 will be an official version, just like 12.10 | 13:45 |
| Andrei | jeah but look here, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 13:46 |
| Andrei | there is written, that its only the dev version, thats what get me scared :O | 13:46 |
| zequence | Andrei: It is the dev version, until it's released | 13:46 |
| zequence | It's the same with all releases | 13:46 |
| Andrei | no reason to get scared? | 13:47 |
| zequence | no | 13:48 |
| Andrei | zequence , do u have time right now? | 13:51 |
| zequence | Andrei: If you have a question, just ask | 13:52 |
| zequence | Whoever knows the answer will answer | 13:52 |
| Andrei | i just dont know if i annoy you or not :D | 13:52 |
| Andrei | yeah, does ubuntu studio work well with MuthTV? | 13:53 |
| zequence | All of the flavors can be combined in any way you like | 13:53 |
| zequence | But, it's probably hard to estimate what kind of problems may arise | 13:54 |
| zequence | One has to just try and see | 13:54 |
| zequence | Some flavors may install some specific settings, etc | 13:54 |
| zequence | We don't do any testing on combining them, but of course, you can always install applications separately in any combination you like | 13:55 |
| Andrei | okay, thx for your answers, u helped me alot. asmost with the "kill" string | 13:55 |
| Andrei | zequence, one more question ^^, how can i find out which graphics driver i have, when im using Intel HD 4000 Graphic Chipset??? | 14:01 |
| zequence | Andrei: Intel only has one type of drivers. Intel writes their own free graphic drivers, and those are bundled up with the kernel | 14:06 |
| zequence | So, if you have Intel, you don't ever need to worry about graphic drivers on Linux | 14:06 |
| zequence | they just work | 14:06 |
| zequence | Intel is one of the main contributors to the Linux kernel | 14:07 |
| Andrei | could u pls look here | 14:07 |
| Andrei | https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2013/intel-linux-graphics-installer | 14:07 |
| Andrei | i just found it, and i see this "installer" is made 7th March | 14:07 |
| Andrei | should i try this out? or not | 14:07 |
| zequence | This is for installing the latest drivers | 14:08 |
| Andrei | i loooove latest drivers :3 | 14:08 |
| zequence | I highly doubt you will be able to detect any kind of difference, but it's up to you. Your OS | 14:08 |
| Andrei | okay. ill not try this out :) thx for your help, bye | 14:10 |
