[00:00] How do I put in precise values in the frequency knobs with calf equalizer 12-band? [00:55] Hi all [00:57] any upgrade gurus around? I need help. [01:03] I'm trying to upgrade from 12.10 and after downloading ~1600 packages the upgrade fails with a "Failed to fetch : gb...........phasex.0.14......size mismatch" . I have tried 'sudo apt-get clean all' 'sudo apt-get update" but this doesn't fix the problem. [01:06] I don't even have phasex installed [01:06] I guess I'm talking to an empty room [03:55] anyone know what dependency libz is? [03:56] !info libz [03:56] Package libz does not exist in raring [03:56] nixnine: what are you doing? [03:57] trying to install a program -- pdfedit -- but it says libz not found [03:57] nixnine: from where? [03:57] !info pdfedit [03:57] Package pdfedit does not exist in raring [03:58] download from sourceforge and trying to configure the file to make install [03:58] nixnine: http://askubuntu.com/questions/36601/what-to-use-to-annotate-pdf-highlight-underline offers pdf annotation options [04:00] I need to edit the pdf. I used the program on mint 12 but now i am using studio and would like to use the program again [04:00] nixnine: get the .deb from the mint repos [04:00] nixnine: or, use another option [04:01] no idea on libz? [04:01] nixnine: i'll download it from sourceforge and see [04:01] nixnine: the maintainer is really responsible for making usre you can use the software [04:01] okay. using studio 12:10 [04:07] nixnine: 32? 64bit? [04:07] 32 [04:09] nixnine: its not in the repos? [04:09] sourceforge is the only place I found it [04:09] nixnine: open the terminal [04:10] opened [04:10] apt-cache search pdfedit [04:10] do you see it? [04:11] nixnine: ?? do you see it listed?

I know that what I want is aplay -l | grep -i ultra, but I can't seem to figure out how to put together an if statement for the bash script [17:20] celesteh: You want a script to do something only if it finds the fast track? [17:20] celesteh: Would you mind sharing what you have done so far? You could paste here http://paste.ubuntu.com [17:23] I would probably do "grep -o" [17:23] ULTRA_EXISTS = $(aplay -l | grep ultra) [17:24] if [ $ULTRA_EXISTS == "ultra" ]; then.. [17:24] I forgot to add the -o option to that [17:31] thanks zequence, that's got me sorted! [19:04] Can anyone help me with configuring GRUB 2? [19:22] Arkhana: What is it that you are configuring in Grub2 more exactly? [19:23] I want to dual-boot Ubuntu Studio and Syllable. The problem is: Syllable is not Linux or even BSD [19:23] So I don't know where to edit GRUB [19:25] Correction: how to edit grub [19:26] Arkhana: http://web.syllable.org/documentation/FAQ.html#2_4 [19:26] Seems you need a module [19:27] Ok, and where to edit the menu? [19:30] So I can enter the lines so that Syllable can boot. Then it will be no problem to copy the module [19:31] Arkhana: I'm not sure you need to edit the menu. May be enough to add the module, and then do: sudo update-grub [19:32] Arkhana: If you want to edit the grub menu manually, you need to edit a file in /etc/grub.d/* [19:32] then do: sudo update-grub [19:33] check out /etc/grub.d/40_custom [19:34] Yes, I've already looked at that file, but I didn't really understand were to enter the lines [19:35] Btw my pc is turned off. I'm doing this on my smartphone now [19:35] I've looked at grub.d [19:37] Arkhana: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/CustomMenus [19:37] But, you won't be able to boot syllable without the module anyway [19:37] So, you'll need the module first [19:37] Also, you might not need to edit grub manually at all, if you have the module [19:37] I would try the module first [19:38] Then, do: sudo update-grubv [19:38] Then, do: sudo update-grub* [19:38] It may be that syllable will automatically be added to the menu [19:42] Seems kinda hard to config... [19:43] Arkhana: Why not try the module first, and then maybe you wont' need to do any configs [19:43] Where are the commands menuentry until intrid for? [19:45] Only the module won't work. Syllable didn't install along Ubuntu, there was only a chainloder command [19:46] In the GRUB installed by Syllable [19:46] Arkhana: It might be easier just to install Syllable last, as I believe the GRUB it has will also see Ubuntu [19:48] I did install Syllable at last. But in the menu.lst of Syllable's GRUB were only chainloaders [19:49] And yes, those chainloaders did not work [19:49] I already tested them out [20:01] Sorry, did you say something while I was away? [20:03] nope [20:03] I've never installed syllable, and don't have any experience with it [20:04] neither have I ever had a reason to edit grub2 menus manually [20:11] hi [20:11] i am new on ustudio [20:11] i have any questions [20:13] kuranevi: Just ask away [20:13] what is the standart desktop environment on ustudio? [20:13] Lxfe [20:14] kuranevi: XFCE. It's mostly imported from Xubuntu [20:14] Zequence is righr [20:14] OK [20:14] my system is correct;) [20:14] another question: [20:15] Arkhana: I better be, since I'm the project lead :) [20:17] Zequencer :D [20:17] my monitr support 1280 x 1024 resolution but i can use only 1024 x 768 [20:17] what is wrong? [20:18] kuranevi: Did you try arandr? [20:19] no. i dont know this! [20:19] Do you have the open or closed drivers? [20:20] no [20:20] kuranevi: menu -> settings -> ARandR [20:20] this is my first run [20:21] kuranevi: You either have free drivers, or you have closed (proprietary), but I'm guessing you have free [20:21] vga-0 [20:22] he says 1024x768 too [20:22] For some cards/drivers, I've needed to generate an xorg.conf file, and on one computer I have to force it to a higher resolution. [20:23] how? [20:24] kuranevi: did you try arandr yet? [20:24] oh, sorry [20:24] yes.. zequence [20:24] kuranevi: So, only one resolution there? [20:24] only tree, the another res. is lower [20:25] excuse me: only 4 resolution but the another tree is lower [20:25] You could try the proprietary driver, if there is one for your device. [20:26] kuranevi: what kind of graphic card do you have? [20:27] radeon hd 4650 [20:31] kuranevi: I would take this up at ubuntu channels or forums, as it's something that affects all ubuntu flavors [20:32] kuranevi: Are you sure 1280x1024 is the native resolution for your screen? [20:35] yes: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/EM/200512/20051227074515625/EN/6_sub.htm [20:38] kuranevi: might be you need to do as Unit193 said, create a custom xorg.conf. I can't advice you on that, but it it's a file that is not used anymore, unless you want to make settings manually. You put it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:41] hmm [20:41] I have some problems with ALSA and JACK [20:41] can i do anything under add. drivers? [20:43] Kuranevi: You could build a second-hand video card in your PC. For about ten euros you don't have to config anything [20:44] Arkhana: It's not sure that it's the fault of the driver [20:44] Ok [20:44] yes, i can. which graphic card can i use [20:44] Maybe none of the drivers are making sense of the screen [20:46] kuranevi: Something like this http://askubuntu.com/questions/74808/how-do-i-force-a-resolution-of-1024x768 [20:47] Modes "1024x768" "800x600" [20:48] not sure what you should do with the HoriSync and VertRefresh [20:48] You could try leaving them out [20:48] kuranevi: When you do this kind of stuff, it's good if you know a little bit about using the terminal [20:49] i have this information on add. drivers: http://www.cnx-software.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Ubuntu-Additional-Drivers-ATI_Radeon_drivers_Catalyst.png [20:49] kuranevi: There's a package for it in Ubuntu repos [20:49] kuranevi: fglrx [20:49] kuranevi: Again, it might not be a problem with the driver [20:49] kuranevi: Also, it's not certain that the new AMD drivers work [20:50] kuranevi: But, if you want to try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [20:51] there's been a problem with recent AMD proprietary drivers. not very good support [20:51] the free drivers are good, except some people have problems with overheating [20:52] also, the proprietary AMD drivers drop support for newer cards very quickly [20:52] And, you can't easily build the older drivers on newer Ubuntu releases [20:52] So, in the end, the free drivers are the easiest [20:52] sorry, drop support for older card, is what I mean :) [20:53] Sounds like building a driver is not for noobs [20:54] you meaning, i have a risk activate the licenced driver under addional drivers;? [20:54] better is to work with xorg.conf? [20:55] I don't know. I always recommend to do back-ups when you're doing things like this [20:55] kuranevi: Just read the page to learn about the different choices you have with drivers [20:55] ok [20:55] thank you all [20:55] kuranevi: I would at least try the xorg.conf solution [20:56] Kuranevi: do you understand it a little? [20:56] kuranevi: Just remember, if you do it badly, your desktop could disappear, and all you can do is use a terminal, so it's good if you know what to do when that happens [20:56] yes Arkhana [20:56] i know zequence [20:57] ... [20:58] Ok, if you understand all the files and such you are kinda safe not to break something [20:58] All the files you need for this [20:59] understand sir:) [21:00] I learn computing by breaking things and building it up again [21:00] But that's not always nice, believe me :D [21:01] Good night everybody [21:01] I'm going to sleep [21:02] Arkhana: we walk on the same way but you are far away;) [21:02] What do you mean? [21:02] learning computing by breaking [21:03] and building it up again;) [21:04] Yep. Sometimes you have a nice thing for office purpose, and after 10 minutes you have to start over new again [21:05] Where are you from, btw [21:05] good night all [21:05] i? [21:05] Yes [21:06] from Istanbul [21:06] and you? [21:06] I'm from the Netherlands [21:06] Tomorrow it's Queens Day [21:07] Maybe you have heared about it? [21:07] A little bit [21:07] we have not a king and queen;) [21:07] A sheik? [21:07] are you Dutch? [21:07] Yup [21:08] not a Sheik [21:08] we have a democratic republic [21:08] We too. We have a queen, but she has no power at all [21:08] i dont love the Sheiks [21:09] No? Why not? [21:09] I think the Turkish language is probably quite similar to Finnish. Not many people know this [21:09] It is not related to Arabic [21:09] As many think [21:09] No. I didn't know that too [21:09] Even if many words are borrowed from the Arabic language [21:10] The grammar is very similar to Hungarian and Finnish [21:10] zequence: you are right [21:10] But the capital letter i in Turkey is very handy [21:10] Arkhana: i dont love the monarchy and Theocracy [21:10] I love communism [21:11] But there will never be good communis, [21:11] Communism [21:11] do you know anything from ibni Haldun? [21:11] No, not at all [21:11] Is he Atatürk? [21:12] Who is Ibni Haldun? [21:13] no he is a socialogist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Khaldun [21:14] but you can find not good informations on wiki [21:15] read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqaddimah#.27Asabiyyah [21:15] Well, i see a lot of informatiom [21:15] I will check that out tommorow. I'm going to sleep now [21:16] Good night [21:16] i ask you tomorrow;) [21:16] good Queens day for any, and on 1 mai for us all:) [21:17] good night [21:17] I will leave my phone turned on the whole night, so the link is still on my phone tommorow [21:17] Bb [21:17] But what is on 1 mai? [21:18] International Workers' Day [21:18] O yes, that's true. [21:18] a spirit day in communism:P [21:18] Good night [21:19] zequence: where are you from? [21:20] kuranevi: I'm Finnish, but I live in Sweden [21:21] I've read about a bit about the Turkish language. It looks very similar to Finnish in deed, even if probably not a single word is the same, but the grammar is very similar [21:22] The way you can use one word to say something that in other languages require 5 words [21:22] yes, you are right [21:22] eskimo people and the american indians too [21:22] Yes [21:22] Sioux :) [21:23] Probably all of the languages of the nomad people on the northern hemisphere [21:23] tottally correct [21:24] what do you know about the runic alphabet? [21:25] not much [21:25] used by the old norse people [21:25] what do you know about he Etrusk? [21:25] Finnish didn't have a written language until quite late. Officially, probably not until the 1800 [21:26] Very little [21:27] and Basque people? [21:27] Not much [21:27] I know there has been some ideas about those belonging to the same group of languages [21:28] yes [21:28] Dutch with Somalian [21:28] this communitys have no connection from the Indo-european [21:28] In Europe, the study of languages has been heavily influenced by nationalism, so probably a lot of the information today is wrong [21:29] The Dutch grammar is quite easy nowadays [21:29] Dutch=Deutch/German/allemania etc. [21:29] Very few people use right grammar [21:30] in Holland [21:30] is same in all countrys [21:30] But in Holland a lot more [21:31] Arkhana kannst du deutsch sprechen? [21:31] The gender types of words are used wrong very often [21:31] Ja naturlich [21:31] Das habe ich gelernt auf der Schule [21:31] ich auch [21:31] Finnish grammar is easy in one way. You can put the words almost in any order you want, and it will always be correct. But, knowing how to bend them, is a different story :). 16 forms of casus [21:32] Here it's not [21:32] "i love linux" on turkish: "linux'u sev+i+yor+um" [21:33] At our language lessons at school we learn to give all the kinds of words a own kname [21:33] Name [21:33] sev(mek) mean love [21:33] I love linux : Ik houd van Linux [21:33] !xorgconf [21:33] The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. [21:34] Houd van: love [21:34] Houd man is not german? [21:34] Houd (van) [21:34] It's Dutch [21:34] in Finnish: "linuxta rakastan", all though, Finns rarely say they love something ;) [21:35] German: liebe [21:35] Ik haat smurfen: I hate smurfs :D [21:35] When do they say they love someti [21:35] Something? [21:37] It's not a word easily used [21:37] Love and Liebe is a little similar but Houd is very different [21:37] Houd : keep [21:37] Houd van : love [21:38] Houd jij van Linux : Do you love Linux? [21:38] Jij: you [21:38] In Finnish, you only need two words for that: rakastatko linuxta? [21:38] you on turkish: siz/sen :) [21:38] rakastatkokin linuxta = do you also love linux? [21:38] Lazy typing in Finnish :D [21:39] Arkhana: Less word, more complicated words [21:39] I see [21:39] Do you love Linux on turkish: Linux'u seviyormusun? [21:39] All kinda long words [21:40] The most complicated word I know is methylfenidaathydrochloride [21:41] MPH [21:42] My daily medicine [21:42] To decrease autism [21:42] Probably the longest one word in Finnish epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellänsäkään [21:42] It's not a combination of words, but a grammatical form of one word [21:42] http://www.finlandforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9172 [21:43] WOW GEEZ [21:43] hey friendst , i want to go sleep [21:43] nivce to meet you [21:43] Yep [21:43] yhave you twitter account?
