[01:33] <ben_says> so.  ubuntustudio64 installed on a lenovo T400
[01:34] <ben_says> wondering what any oppinions on audio interface.
[01:34] <ben_says> its it best to snag something like PreSonus AudioBox USB
[01:34] <zequence> ben_says: http://wiki.linuxmusicians.com/doku.php?id=hardware_matrix
[01:34] <ben_says> SWEET
[01:34] <ben_says> ok ill dig around there.
[01:34] <ben_says> thank
[01:34] <ben_says> you
[01:35] <zequence> The one you mentioned is probably one of the most reliable multichannel usb devices
[01:36] <ben_says> cool.  one thing i'm trying to get more updated on is what is the lag on somehting like htat.
[01:36] <ben_says> is usb> firewire, but basically negligible? or is it way better to use a tower with pci stuff...
[01:36] <ben_says> b.c id love to be able to use this laptop atop a keyboard then be able to move it around for voice stuff.
[01:37] <zequence> I have very little experience with usb myself, but PCI and firewire both work fine, if your HW doesn't give you any problems
[01:38] <ben_says> ok
[01:38] <zequence> There are a few people who've been using the Presonus. You could try asking about this on the Linux Audio User mail list
[01:39] <ben_says> great. thanks
[02:14] <holstein> i have a presonus firepod
[02:14] <holstein> ben_says:
[02:14] <ben_says> yo
[02:15] <ben_says> that is firewire?
[02:16] <holstein> yup
[02:17] <ben_says> i'm just reading and reading on all these audio boxes.
[02:17] <ben_says> cool stuff indeed.
[03:36] <timothymillar> does anyone know the best way to upgrade from ubuntu studio 12.04 to 12.10?
[03:38] <SunStar> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:38] <holstein> timothymillar: "best" can be arguable.. i like to backup my data and fresh install
[03:39] <timothymillar> this is a fresh install so I have nothing to save
[03:39] <timothymillar> just want to get current so I can help with development
[03:39] <timothymillar> Sunstar: i'll give that a whirl thanks
[03:40] <SunStar> good luck
[03:48] <holstein> if its a fresh install.. why upgrade?
[03:49] <SunStar> cuz its not bleeding edge
[03:49] <holstein> i mean, i would just reinstall
[03:49] <SunStar> prolly should have told him he could get 13 if he wants
[03:50] <SunStar> yeah
[03:50] <SunStar> i agree
[03:50] <SunStar> its still good to play around and learn how to use the OS. upgrading is a good thing to have experience with
[03:51] <holstein> wont hurt anything... unless it does
[03:51] <SunStar> well like he said it wouldnt hurt anything if it blew up
[04:03] <zequence> dist-upgrade won't upgrade the release
[04:04] <zequence> It's just a way to do a normal update
[04:04] <zequence> i.e., sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:04] <holstein> what is it? do-release-upgrade ?
[04:04] <zequence> Yeah
[04:05] <zequence> That timothy guy was going to help out with development, and I suggested he help us testing the release upgrade to 13.04
[04:06] <holstein> zequence: nice!
[04:06] <holstein> zequence: he'll be back, i bet
[04:08] <zequence> holstein: We could really use some more people
[04:08] <holstein> zequence: yup...
[04:15] <SunStar> ill run it
[05:59] <SunStar> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/13.04/beta-1/  <-- this the right place?
[10:25] <aweroi> 'sup folks, if I download the 13.04 beta 1 can I still upgrade to the normal version once it's out or do I need to install it again?
[11:45] <zequence> aweroi: raring will always be raring, but if there are any default user settings that are changed before final release (which most likely won't happen for Ubuntu Studio), those will not appear in your home folder
[11:45] <zequence> That's pretty much it
[11:50] <aweroi> ok
[12:17] <zequence> SunStar: Correct. That's our beta1 which we are testing right now
