[00:00] <zequence> I think it's more than 10 years old
[00:00] <zequence> powerpc processor
[00:01] <Squishy> Cool. The oldest thing i have is a SNES. Everything else tech wise is at most 3 years old
[00:06] <Squishy> going down for a restart now
[00:06] <Squishy> back soon
[00:10] <Squishy> Up and running
[00:10] <Squishy> everything seems fine
[00:12] <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
[00:13] <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.
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <zequence> Well, we haven't been doing much work on enabling ripping. More focus has been on content creation
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <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.
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <Squishy> Yeah you to. Thanks for the help.
[00:35] <nixnine> hey guys, my volume control has disappeared from the desktop panel.  How do I get it back?
[00:55] <zequence> nixnine: right click on the panel to add/remove applets
[00:55] <zequence> Not sure about this though
[00:56] <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?
[00:57] <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
[00:58] <zequence> It's not a preference
[00:58] <zequence> All the items in the panel can be removed or added
[01:01] <zequence> nixnine: Right click on the panel, then go to Panel -> Add new items
[01:02] <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
[01:03] <zequence> The volume applet should be next to a network applet
[01:03] <zequence> Both exist within the indicator area
[01:04] <nixnine> It's not.
[01:04] <zequence> nixnine: Did you check if pulse was running?
[01:05] <zequence> ps -eo comm | grep pulse
[01:05] <zequence> if the return is "pulseaudio", it's running
[01:06] <zequence> actually, I don't think the applet should disapper from PA not running. It should be greyed out, that's all
[01:07] <zequence> gotta go. good luck
[06:10] <al4nc4ds> =O
[08:17] <abbadon> i have an issue that i cant find in any forums or Q/As
[13:19] <Andrei> hello, can anyone help me with a single and easy problem, please? :)
[13:19] <zequence> Andrei: Just ask
[13:20] <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
[13:21] <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 :)
[13:22] <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"
[13:23] <Andrei> Ohhhhhh...
[13:23] <zequence> You probably want to turn off the screen saver completely
[13:24] <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
[13:25] <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
[13:26] <zequence> haven't*
[13:26] <Andrei> !proaudio
[13:26] <Andrei> sry ^^, no  how can i reset the qjack drivers when they get stucked
[13:27] <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
[13:28] <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?
[13:29] <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/
[13:30] <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
[13:31] <Andrei> thats the reason i asked you how to close it properly without restarting :)
[13:32] <zequence> Strange
[13:32] <Andrei> wait a minute
[13:32] <Andrei> is the 13.04 beta release with Wubi?
[13:33] <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
[13:34] <Andrei> i have no other way to install ubuntu, its a notebook with preinstalled win 7 and i still have garanty on it
[13:35] <Andrei> but the beta is not recommended for daily use, isnt it?
[13:35] <zequence> it's fine
[13:36] <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?
[13:37] <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?
[13:38] <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
[13:40] <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?
[13:41] <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?
[13:43] <Andrei> wait wait wait, soo the 13.04 comes in april
[13:43] <Andrei> but its only dev version
[13:45] <zequence> 13.04 will be an official version, just like 12.10
[13:46] <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
[13:47] <Andrei> no reason to get scared?
[13:48] <zequence> no
[13:51] <Andrei> zequence , do u have time right now?
[13:52] <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
[13:53] <Andrei> yeah, does ubuntu studio work well with MuthTV?
[13:53] <zequence> All of the flavors can be combined in any way you like
[13:54] <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
[13:55] <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
[14:01] <Andrei> zequence, one more question ^^, how can i find out which graphics driver i have, when im using Intel HD 4000 Graphic Chipset???
[14:06] <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
[14:07] <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
[14:08] <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
[14:10] <Andrei> okay. ill not try this out :) thx for your help, bye
