[00:28] hello I am new to ubuntu studio and I am trying to get things set up correctly [00:28] raven: What are you wanting to set up? [00:29] using jack and patchage along with idjc none of the pulse audio jack modules are showing in patchage and I need to get them listed somehow [00:30] raven: That's cause patchage does not start jackdbus by default (think) [00:30] raven: You can check by doing, in a terminal: ps -eo comm | grep jack [00:31] raven: It is possible to start the jack sink and source modules for pulseaudio manually, but they won't start automatically unless you start jackdbus [00:32] raven: you can also start jackdbus manually, before starting patchage [00:32] starting jackdbus manually: jack_control start [00:32] the list that came up from console is: jackd [00:32] qjackctl [00:32] qjackctl.real [00:32] jackdbus [00:32] Then you have both of them running, all though, I think jackdbus is probably not processing audio right now [00:32] idjc wont run without jackdbus [00:33] Close patchage [00:33] ok [00:33] Kill jack, and jackdbus: killall -9 jackd* [00:34] ok [00:34] raven: Wait, that won't work [00:34] killall -9 jackd [00:34] Then, killall -9 jackdbus [00:34] ok [00:34] raven: You can close qjackctl too, btw [00:35] if you want [00:35] i did [00:35] raven: Hopefully the right device is chosen to be used with jack [00:35] raven: Actually, it might be smart to use qjackctl for starting jack [00:36] for this reason [00:36] it's set for default which HW0:0 [00:36] I usually always set it to use my device by name ID, instead of number ID [00:36] If you have more than once device, there's no garantee that they will boot in the same order [00:37] you can see the name of your card, by doing: cat /proc/asound/cards [00:37] This is the card I use: [00:37] 0 [M66 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 66 M Audio Delta 66 at 0xd040, irq 21 [00:37] The name ID is "M66" [00:38] okay so my id is nvidia [00:38] raven: HDMI? [00:38] hdmi and analog [00:38] My HDMI doesn't even start with jack [00:39] i was worried till i brought up idjc and heard my stream through my speakers [00:39] Anyway, you can write it manually into the "Interface" field in "Setup" of qjackctl [00:40] The relevant config file for jackdbus is in ~/.config/jack/conf.xml [00:40] Mine looks like this [00:40] [00:40] [00:40] [00:40] [00:40] [00:40] qjackctl will write that for you [00:41] those were the relevant lines [00:41] So, either use qjackctl to start jackdbus, or from the commandline (if your config file is right): jack_control start [00:42] let me try patchage with jackdbus.. [00:42] okay [00:45] raven: Yeah, working [00:46] okay [00:46] raven: So, all you need to do is make sure you start jackdbus, not jackd, if you have pulseaudio-module-jack installed, and the module will auto start the jack sink and source [00:47] qjackctl starts both jackd and jackdbus [00:47] raven: It will only start one of them [00:47] not both at the same time [00:48] how do i have it start jackdbus over jackd [00:48] raven: The setting for that is at: Setup -> Misc -> Enable D-Bus Interface [00:49] But, once you've made the settings you want, with qjackctl, and you are sure they will always work, you can just start it from the terminal with: jack_control start [00:49] i had that set already but i still don't get the pulsejack sync and such in patchage [00:50] You could even make your won desktop file, or script, starting patchage by first starting jackdbus [00:50] raven: Worry about making the module start first. Then worry about patchage [00:50] Is pulseaudio-module-jack installed? [00:51] And sometimes, if you've been starting stopping jack for many times, the module may not initialize. Happens to me sometimes [00:51] yes i have it installed [00:51] raven: Make sure jackd is not running now [00:52] by running the command you gave me earlier? [00:52] raven: You can check if the module is running by doing: pactl list | grep jack [00:53] you should see a bunch of lines about jackdbus detect and things like that [00:53] raven: First, close all applications that you are using for jack. Then kill all jacks [00:53] it is only showing module-jackdbus-detect [00:54] raven: That means the module did not initialize the sink and source [00:54] raven: To kill jacks: killall -9 jackd [00:54] killall -9 jackdbus [00:55] okay [00:55] raven: confirm they are all dead, by doing: ps -eo comm | grep jack [00:55] It should return nothing [00:56] If you're still seeing something, kill it [00:56] Then, open qjackctl, and start jack. Confirm that you see the PA sink and source in "Connect" [00:56] okay all jack is dead [00:57] If you don't see it, we need to restart pulseaudio [00:57] Just kill it, and it will respawn: pulseaudio -k [00:57] and then, also, restart jack [00:57] ..if needed [00:58] brb [00:59] back [01:00] omg i finally see them thank you [01:04] raven: If you are using "hw:nvidia" as your card ID, you could write a starter script for patchage, like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700232/ [01:04] And, then, if you want, make your patchage desktop file point to the script [01:04] okay ty [01:06] np [01:09] zequence i did notice i am still missing one thing in my patchage the jack_capture [01:09] raven: hmdi doesn't have capture, as far as I know [01:09] Ah, that's why I can't start it, of course [01:10] I need to specify output only [01:12] okay i might be able to do what i need without it === SunStar is now known as mradot_ === mradot_ is now known as SunStar === mark8675 is now known as WhoMe === WhoMe is now known as NotMe === NotMe is now known as SpiderInSoup === smartboyhw_ is now known as smartboyhw [17:46] i am having some problems with my ViewSonic Monitor. it is acting as if there is no input, when it is enabled. [17:50] are you sure it hasnt died? [17:50] i am sure, it works on my server. (next to the pc) [17:50] what video ddriver are you using? what graphics chip? [17:51] is there a way of finding out? [18:05] in terminal type lspci to see what graphics adapter you have, and launcher menu -> system -> Software Updater -> Settings -> Additional Drivers [18:11] 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI BeaverCreek [Radeon HD 6530D] [18:12] recommended video driver [18:13] more than likly, you need the proprietary AMD driver. you can get it in that Aditional Drivers tab in Software Updater or in the Ubuntu Software Center. Package Name: fglrx [18:14] or from the AMD website [18:14] I'm not so sure [18:14] AMD free drivers are pretty functional [18:14] And proprietary drivers will probably not work on any release after 12.04 (at least it was so until a few months ago) [18:15] i know HDMI doesnt work without it [18:15] Really? I was even playing HL2 on free drivers last year [18:16] well at least on mine, the HDMI doesnt function using x.org driver, you need fglrx [18:19] nope didn't work [18:19] and its not hdmi cable.. VGA [18:21] TheBingsta: Sure you have the right resolution for it? [18:21] yes. [18:21] i have tried lower resolutions as well [18:22] TheBingsta, you installed the proprietary drivers? [18:22] yes, still nothing. [18:23] did you restart? [18:23] rebooyed to make them work? [18:23] rebooted* [18:23] yes.. works on bios but not ubuntu [18:23] it was a restart after using ArandR that mucked it up. [18:23] let me go for another re-boot. [18:24] brb [18:34] hello [18:34] i got the 2nd monitor working.. however now i can't setup dual screen [18:47] I've personally had more problems with dual monitoring using the proprietary drivers [18:48] dual monitor always worked well for me untill the radeon HD series [19:58] Hey hey hey [20:17] re-installing worked [20:18] re-installing xubuntu? [20:18] ubuntu studio* [20:28] yer. [20:37] Anyone know of a good soundboard app? I searched USC but didn't find anything [21:11] FisherMack, I am not sure what a "soundboard" is. Can you describe it? [21:47] ola [21:58] a sub-straight with buttons. each button plays a sound [21:58] great for using celebrity voices to make prank phone calls [22:09] SunStar, That sounds like a sampler to me. Specimen does that. It is possible to have different samples for each key. vkeyb would map the keys to the text kb. [22:10] That is maybe not the most effective way of doing it though. === ubuntu-studio is now known as len-live
