| khanfused | Can anyone assist with either some advice in JACK configuration, or a pointer to a well written *recent* guide? I have a Line6 PodXT live (digital guitar amp) that I'm trying to get USB-plugged into my machine (ubuntu 12.10 w/ustudio ) so that the guitar signal shows up in Ardour. (cont) | 05:56 |
|---|---|---|
| khanfused | Through various experiments I've managed to get the guitar signal to show up on Ardour's VU meters ... but it doesn't hit the recording track, and (more importantly) I don't hear the guitar through the monitors/system speakers | 05:57 |
| SunStar | while you wait for some 1 who knows this stufff, you can also try in #jack and #opensourcemusicians | 06:01 |
| khanfused | cool, thanks | 06:01 |

| Edmund | Hi Guys can anyone tell me how to install "kompozer" formally knows as "UNV" | 14:38 |
| smartboyhw | Edmund, sudo apt-get install kompozer? | 14:39 |
| zequence | Is it in the repo? | 14:39 |
| zequence | apt-cache search kompozer | 14:40 |
| zequence | It's possible to download and install manually http://www.kompozer.net/ | 14:40 |
| Edmund | It not in the repo and I tried sudo apt-get install kompozer which gives me : Reading package lists... Done | 14:40 |
| Edmund | Building dependency tree | 14:40 |
| Edmund | Reading state information... Done | 14:40 |
| Edmund | E: Unable to locate package kompozer | 14:40 |
| zequence | Edmund: You can download from their site, then unpack the tar file anywhere, and run the binary "kompozer" | 14:43 |
| zequence | It has some dependencies though | 14:43 |
| Edmund | Doesn't work and no clue is given about missing whatever... | 14:43 |
| zequence | google is your friend too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=484165 | 14:44 |
| smartboyhw | !lmgtfy | 14:44 |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 14:44 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, ^ :P | 14:44 |
| zequence | http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/10.04/?q=kompozer | 14:44 |
| zequence | smartboyhw: I guess you didn't notice I also answered his question, while I told him how I found the answer | 14:45 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, reminder only:) | 14:46 |
| zequence | smartboyhw: Please, don't remind me | 14:46 |
| smartboyhw | .... | 14:46 |
| Edmund | done all that, doest't work! | 14:46 |
| smartboyhw | Edmund, :O | 14:47 |
| zequence | Edmund: The package is meant for Ubuntu 10.04, but it may work on newer | 14:47 |
| Edmund | I want it on unbuntustudio ( beta2 ) | 14:47 |
| zequence | Edmund: I'm looking up the dependencies, hold on | 14:55 |
| zequence | It's claiming that a dependency is missing, even when it isn't | 14:59 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, which? | 14:59 |
| zequence | smartboyhw: Are you also looking at this? | 15:00 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, no. I'm helping out the UbuntuKylin guys to understand the difficult administration of the ISO QA Tracker:P | 15:00 |
| zequence | Then why ask? | 15:00 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, I rather think the app set the install location wrong | 15:01 |
| smartboyhw | For example, it looks at the dependency like /opt/bin/zequence, but actually it is in /usr/bin/zequence, etc. | 15:01 |
| smartboyhw | Maybe | 15:01 |
| zequence | smartboyhw: It's trying to find a runtime library, and yes, probably looking in the wrong place | 15:02 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, Edmund what happened is that somebody requested removal of kompozer in 12.10 | 15:04 |
| smartboyhw | and of course, 13.04 | 15:04 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, I rather would want to download https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/kompozer_0.8%7Eb3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb and dpkg -i it | 15:04 |
| smartboyhw | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kompozer | 15:04 |
| smartboyhw | Edmund, ^ | 15:05 |
| smartboyhw | At least that's a 12.04 binary | 15:06 |
| smartboyhw | For reference: Bug 1065547 | 15:06 |
| ubottu | bug 1065547 in kompozer (Ubuntu) "Please remove kompozer from quantal" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1065547 | 15:06 |
| smartboyhw | It's actually reported by micahg:O | 15:06 |
| zequence | It's no longer maintained in Debian. That is why it's removed | 15:11 |
| zequence | I think my problem has to do with this being a 64bit system | 15:11 |
| smartboyhw | multiarch!!!! | 15:12 |
| smartboyhw | LOL | 15:12 |
| zequence | I can confirm that installing the .deb packages smartboyhw linked to will work | 15:14 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, \o/ | 15:14 |
| zequence | Edmund: Download and install in this order https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/kompozer-data_0.8%7Eb3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb | 15:15 |

| zequence | Then download and install the two packages | 15:17 |
| Edmund | Now I get : | 16:00 |

| is_null | hi all, if i just want to use ardour then i might as well install ubuntu and setup jack2 myself ? or is there anything else that ubuntu studio provides ? | 16:14 |
| zequence | is_null: Add yourself to audio group, in order to get realtime privilege | 16:15 |
| zequence | is_null: Also, if you require low latency, install linux-lowlatency | 16:16 |
| zequence | is_null: Of course, you also need to answer "yes", when asked about realtime prio when installing jackd | 16:16 |
| is_null | thanks zequence, so ubuntu + a low latency kernel + jack2 is as good as ubuntu studio for ardour ? | 16:17 |
| smartboyhw | is_null: well yes | 16:18 |
| zequence | smartboyhw: He was asking me | 16:18 |
| is_null | ah ok, thanks | 16:18 |
| zequence | is_null: And adding yourself to audio group | 16:18 |
| zequence | is_null: Also, we have swappiness turned down to 10. It's at 60 by default | 16:19 |
| zequence | is_null: You can adjust swappiness in /etc/sysctl.conf | 16:20 |
| khanfused | I'd asked last night - but fell off line and couldn't see if anyone answered -- Can anyone assist with either some advice in JACK configuration, or a pointer to a well written *recent* guide? I have a Line6 PodXT live (digital guitar amp) that I'm trying to get USB-plugged into my machine (ubuntu 12.10 w/ustudio ) so that the guitar signal shows up in Ardour. (cont) | 16:33 |
| khanfused | rough various experiments I've managed to get the guitar signal to show up on Ardour's VU meters ... but it doesn't hit the recording track, and (more importantly) I don't hear the guitar through the monitors/system speakers (the important part right now -- some day I'll actually buy an amp with speakers :-) ) | 16:34 |
| zequence | khanfused: Could you do this in a terminal, and post the results on http://paste.ubuntu.com: cat /proc/asound/cards | 16:43 |
| zequence | Then post the link here | 16:44 |
| khanfused | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5724947/ | 16:45 |
| zequence | khanfused: So, this is the ID name for your USB device "PODxtLive". We'll use that later | 16:46 |
| zequence | khanfused: How do you usually start jack? | 16:46 |
| khanfused | I re-did the experiments (mostly by noodling my way through) today. I either start up qjackCtl or Patchage, and that starts the jack services | 16:47 |
| khanfused | today it's patchage -- in both cases I've had accidental successes, but today patchage has me getting signal to Ardour's master channel. (That could be me being a n00b about patching/setup) | 16:47 |
| zequence | khanfused: problem with starting patchage, if jack isn't running, is that it will start jackd, while qjackctl with default settings will start jackdbus, so you'll have two jacks running | 16:47 |
| khanfused | ... ah | 16:47 |
| khanfused | I have the 1 running - jackd | 16:48 |
| khanfused | just checked | 16:48 |
| zequence | khanfused: I'd use qjackctl to start jack, and then if you prefer patchage, start it afterwards | 16:48 |
| zequence | or, let me check patchage.. | 16:48 |
| zequence | khanfused: patchage will read your settings in ~/.jackdrc | 16:49 |
| zequence | khanfused: Could you post the results from: cat ~/.jackdrc | 16:50 |
| zequence | It's just one line | 16:50 |
| khanfused | /usr/bin/jackd -p 128 -R -P 60 -T -d alsa -n 2 -r 44100 -p 1024 -d hw:1,0 | 16:50 |
| zequence | khanfused: Close patchage, then kill jack: killall jackd | 16:53 |
| khanfused | done | 16:53 |
| khanfused | and of course ardour complains about losing its friend :-) | 16:53 |
| zequence | khanfused: Then, replace "hw:1,0" with "hw:PODxtLive", without the quotes, and make sure you add hw: | 16:53 |
| zequence | in .jackdrc | 16:54 |
| zequence | or, to test it directly from the terminal: jackd -d alsa -d hw:PODxtLive | 16:54 |
| khanfused | file edited | 16:55 |
| zequence | khanfused: The order of the cards may change at each boot, so when you start patchage, there's no saying which card is started, if the .jackdrc says hw:1 | 16:55 |
| zequence | khanfused: Try the command first, to see if jack will start: jackd -d alsa -d hw:PODxtLive | 16:56 |
| khanfused | want a pastebin of the results? | 16:56 |
| zequence | khanfused: Not if it worked | 16:56 |
| khanfused | seemed to | 16:57 |
| khanfused | none of the outputs screamed 'error' | 16:57 |
| zequence | If it didn't stop, it worked | 16:57 |
| zequence | You can shut it down with Ctrl+C | 16:57 |
| zequence | khanfused: So, now, patchage will always start jack with your usb device | 16:57 |
| zequence | khanfused: As for getting a signal into Ardour, you just need to make sure your Line6 is connected to the correct Ardour input. You can do that in patchage, or Qjackctl -> Connect | 16:59 |
| zequence | khanfused: btw, if you want qjackctl to also start hw:PODxtLive, you'll need to add it manually to Qjackctl -> Setup -> "Interface" | 17:00 |
| zequence | khanfused: And about monitoring. One easy way is to just connect your System input to your System output | 17:01 |
| zequence | khanfused: All though, you can set monitoring in Ardour too. I haven't yet tried it, but it's usually not too complicated once you find the right buttons or settings | 17:01 |
| khanfused | 'finding the right settings' seems to be the fun part :-) ... still trying to recreate what I did in patchage earlier -- whether or not it's correct. in Patchage the pod doesn't seem to want to connect to anythign but ardour's control/mcu/seq channels | 17:02 |
| khanfused | which I think (from what I read) those three and the POD are considered alsa sources (green highlight) | 17:02 |
| zequence | khanfused: Those are not audio signals | 17:02 |
| khanfused | didn't think so | 17:03 |
| zequence | khanfused: So, you're probably connecting its midi interface | 17:03 |
| zequence | khanfused: Usually, the audio interface is called System | 17:03 |
| khanfused | capture 1 and capture 2 | 17:03 |
| khanfused | (for system) | 17:03 |
| zequence | Those would be inputs | 17:03 |
| zequence | so, connect one or both captures to ardours inputs | 17:04 |
| khanfused | and doing that gave me VU on the master channel | 17:04 |
| zequence | dependning if you'll be recording stereo or not. Pods have stereo FX, which is why you'd sometimes want to do that | 17:04 |
| khanfused | I only dropped one guitar track down in ardour -- I assume that's why I have only one ardour guitar input | 17:05 |
| zequence | khanfused: In Ardour, create a new channel. Then, connect your Pod to that channel | 17:05 |
| zequence | the more channels you add to ardour, the more inputs it'll get | 17:05 |
| zequence | I gotta go, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. good luck | 17:06 |
| khanfused | thanks! | 17:06 |
