[00:23] <studio-user885> im having problems installing
[00:23] <studio-user885> and its worrying me because now ive lost my partitions and everything in failed attempts at making this work
[00:23] <studio-user885> i only made it worse
[00:23] <studio-user885> :(  Is anyone here
[00:24] <Len-nb> antivapor1, make a file with one command per line.
[00:24] <Len-nb> put #!/bin/bash as the first line
[00:25] <Len-nb> studio-user885, what have you tried?
[00:25] <studio-user885> i installed windows in another partition earlier, to dual boot for work purposes, and i was then not allowed to boot back into ubuntu studio, so i went and reinstalled ubuntu studio over the ubuntu studio partition, and expected it to reinstall the boot loader and all to be fine, and theres more
[00:26] <studio-user885> then it booted up into ubuntu studio with no graphics.  so i figured hey i got a backup, ill just reformat and reinstall ubuntu studio, and so i tried, and it corrupted my hard drive or something and now it gets stuck in the installation at making an ext4 filesystem
[00:27] <studio-user885> i hate the installation open now, and it is stuck at Creating ext4 file system for / in partition #2 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda)...
[00:27] <Len-nb> I am not real good about dual boot with windows. But I think windows has to be done first
[00:28] <studio-user885> in the command line of that task it says (process:12240): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
[00:29] <Len-nb> you may find information with :
[00:29] <Len-nb> cat /var/log/syslog |tail
[00:29] <studio-user885> in terminal?
[00:29] <Len-nb> ya
[00:30] <studio-user885> ubuntu-studio@ubuntu-studio:~$ cat /var/log/syslog |tail May 18 21:20:18 ubuntu-studio ubiquity[5595]: switched to page usersetup May 18 21:20:27 ubuntu-studio ubiquity[5595]: debconffilter_done: ubi-usersetup (current: ubi-usersetup) May 18 21:20:27 ubuntu-studio ubiquity[5595]: Step_before = stepUserInfo May 18 21:20:29 ubuntu-studio ubiquity: rm:  May 18 21:20:29 ubuntu-studio ubiquity: cannot remove ‘/var/lib/ubiq
[00:31] <Len-nb> You will probably have to use the "something else" option to partition if you are not now.
[00:31] <studio-user885> I am
[00:31] <studio-user885> tried also using gparted to make a partition in ext4 filesystem prior to attempting to install
[00:31] <Len-nb> Good. I would say you will have to at least reboot so that casper can be rebuilt
[00:31] <studio-user885> I've tried rebooting multiple times
[00:31] <studio-user885> still does the same
[00:32] <Len-nb> ls -l /var/lib/ubi
[00:32] <studio-user885> that os prober cache is that something of concern do you think?
[00:32] <studio-user885> ubuntu-studio@ubuntu-studio:~$ ls -l /var/lib/ubi ls: cannot access /var/lib/ubi: No such file or directory
[00:33] <Len-nb> Are you installing from a USB stick, did you build it with persistence?
[00:33] <studio-user885> yes
[00:33] <studio-user885> to both
[00:34] <Len-nb> I would redo the USB stick with no persistence
[00:34] <studio-user885> ive used it before, i just installed, its 13.04, so i think a couple days ago i did this... since monday and it had worked
[00:34] <Len-nb> Any mistake that happens stays there over boots
[00:34] <studio-user885> ok.
[00:34] <studio-user885> so... its not a hard disk problem you dont think
[00:34] <studio-user885> ?
[00:34] <studio-user885> it did crash during installation at one point i think... or something on here crashed i saw the crash report
[00:35] <Len-nb> I don't think so I have never used persistence since the first time I had a similar problem
[00:35] <studio-user885> ok.
[00:35] <studio-user885> ok good stuff, i will try that
[00:35] <studio-user885> i hope it works
[00:35] <Len-nb> :)
[00:35] <studio-user885> because i need this up and running hah... its amazing how much windows breaks things
[00:35] <studio-user885> didnt expect to have this much trouble today.
[00:36] <Len-nb> Persistence is good for running but not installing
[00:36] <studio-user885> anyway, thank you for your help, and if it doesnt work i will be back later hah
[00:36] <studio-user885> oo
[00:36] <Len-nb> There should be someone around.
[00:36] <studio-user885> ok thank you have a good night
[00:36] <Len-nb> night

[08:49] <kai> hi i'm trying put PD and I am experiencing this bug, where the X server crashes after typing 4 characters:  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.multimedia.puredata.general/90676
[08:49] <kai> I've just installed ubuntu studio 13.04 as well as pd-extended
[08:49] <kai> however i'm not sure if this was happening before I installed pd-extended
[08:51] <kai> perhaps i can downgrade to 12.04, i probably do not need the latest release.
[08:53] <smartboyhw_> kai: Hmm, X are headaches. But yeah, you don't need the latest release …
[08:54] <smartboyhw_> !xorg
[08:57] <kai> smartb: ok i will try the downgrade...
[10:47] <oslt> hello
[10:49] <oslt> Hello, need some help with jack and soundcard. Anybody there?
[10:58] <oslt> I can't get connected to my soundcard with jack.
[10:59] <oslt> I did a complete reinstallation and upgradet to ubuntustudio 13.04
[10:59] <oslt> First it was working. All of a sudden it ceased.
[10:59] <oslt> Sound is good without jack running.
[11:00] <oslt> With ubuntu 10.03 a ran at last into sound problems too.
[11:00] <oslt> I feel very frustrated with linux now, bit Windows is no alternative, even if it is much better with sound.
[11:00] <oslt> Can't remember any soundproblem there.
[11:02] <cfhowlett> oslt, if it WAS running, then either the equipment or configuration changed somehow ...
[11:06] <oslt> Re
[11:06] <oslt> cfhowlett: Sorry for being away.
[11:06] <oslt> cfhowlett: Could type into the window.
[11:07] <oslt> cfhowlett: Yes, but my insatllation is almost fresh.
[11:08] <oslt> cfhowlett: Just tried out musescore. Bytheway very good.
[11:08] <oslt> cfhowlett: Minutes before, I restarted with live cd.
[11:08] <oslt> And there was no sound too!!!
[11:09] <cfhowlett> oslt, laptop?desktop?  could the sound card have failed?
[11:10] <oslt> Desktop, I can listen to my own voice through usb mic, now.
[11:11] <oslt> cfhowlett: Means soundcard must be present.
[11:11] <oslt> Jack is running.
[11:12] <oslt> cfhowlett: But no playback with ardour.
[11:12] <oslt> cfhowlett: I guess soundcard not connected ...?
[11:12] <cfhowlett> oslt, kill all jack processes.  I'd bet your sound returns.
[11:13] <oslt> Yes
[11:13] <oslt> cfhowlett: yes
[11:13] <oslt> cfhowlett: What shoud I do next, next step?
[11:15] <cfhowlett> oslt, I'd suggest you terminal this sequence: ps -x | grep jack
[11:15] <oslt> I asked on #jack they sent me here
[11:15] <cfhowlett> oslt, that will ID the processes in use OR killall jack
[11:16] <oslt> Can't copy text in XChat, sorry
[11:16] <cfhowlett> oslt, no worries.  simple commands ...
[11:16] <oslt> But how to get the pipe?
[11:17] <oslt> Have it

[11:26] <oslt> cfhowlett: I ended Jack control.

[11:26] <oslt> cfhowlett: okay?
[11:27] <cfhowlett> oslt, OK, play an mp3 or something to see if sound is available
[11:30] <oslt> cfhowlett: I am surprized, no sound.
[11:30] <oslt> cfhowlett: What is going on?
[11:31] <oslt> cfhowlett: no sound in vls
[11:31] <oslt> cfhowlett: no sound in video player
[11:32] <oslt> cfhowlett: Uff
[11:32] <cfhowlett> oslt, reboot.  if STILL silent, suspect your sound card ....
[11:32] <oslt> cfhowlett: Haven't had before.
[11:32] <oslt> cfhowlett: I do. CU Thanks meanwhile.
[11:40] <oslt> cfhowlett: Back again. Sound is working without Jack running.
[11:40] <oslt> cfhowlett: with jack: is not.
[11:41] <oslt> cfhowlett: No playback in ardour.
[11:41] <cfhowlett> oslt, normal.  jack seizes control of sound in/out when running.  once killed, sound goes back to normal routing. ...
[11:41] <oslt> cfhowlett: I know this phenomenon.
[11:42] <cfhowlett> oslt, and I don't know jack *!* enough to configure it properly.
[11:42] <oslt> cfhowlett: okay.
[11:42] <oslt> Seems to have something to do with pulseaudio.
[11:43] <oslt> cfhowlett: I think pulseaudio can't fetch the soundcard in jack.
[11:43] <oslt> cfhowlett: Is there any possibility to clear what pulseaudio is connected to at the moment?
[11:44] <oslt> cfhowlett: I thin sound production is the only argument to install ubuntustudio, isn't it?
[11:45] <oslt> cfhowlett: in #jack no help either.
[11:45] <cfhowlett> oslt, last question first; Ustudio has a suite of audio/video/graphic/photographic packages.  not just sound
[11:45] <oslt> cfhowlett: say ask #ubuntustudio
[11:46] <oslt> cfhowlett: hehe
[11:46] <cfhowlett> oslt, pulse/jack is over my head.  but your situation is quite common.  ask in channel.  someone can probably guide you much better than I can
[11:46] <cfhowlett> ask #ubuntustudio
[11:46] <oslt> cfhowlett: I love making music a lot.
[11:46] <cfhowlett> !ubuntustudio
[11:47] <oslt> cfhowlett: got depressive meanwhile. Comit suicide then ;-)
[11:47] <cfhowlett> oslt, dang.  I thought we had fixed that factoid.  gotta let the ops know that it's WAY outdated.
[11:47] <cfhowlett> oslt, don't give up.  also check the forums.
[11:48] <oslt> cfhowlett: You are right. But audio is a big chellenge for Linux.
[11:48] <oslt> cfhowlett: Rest is playing around, my opinion.
[11:48] <cfhowlett> oslt, no doubt.
[11:49] <jarnos> Is this bug a big problem between core components of ubuntu studio? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1163638
[11:49] <cfhowlett> jarnos, seems related ...
[11:49] <oslt> cfhowlett: I checked the forums a lot. Guess I have to learn Chinese to understand the odd behaviour of ubuntustudio.
[11:51] <oslt> jarnos: Belongs to my problem no sound with pulseaudio and jack?
[11:51] <cfhowlett> oslt, as I'm in China now, I can only say: Dear God, I HOPE it doesn't come to that!  Naturally, I do NOT speak chinese
[11:51] <oslt> cfhowlett: Love you for this dialogue.
[11:52] <cfhowlett> oslt, each one teach one ...
[11:53] <oslt> Seems that I have to disable pulseaudio.
[11:53] <oslt> cfhowlett: How to do that?
[11:54] <cfhowlett> oslt, as I said, over my head.  someone will know.
[11:54] <cfhowlett> !pulseaudio
[11:54] <oslt> cfhowlett: Sorry you told me about jack.
[11:54] <oslt> cfhowlett: Didn't know about you not knowing sound issues at all.
[11:55] <oslt> cfhowlett: But thank you.
[11:55] <oslt> jarnos: I use jack and there is pulseaudiosink and so on. Is this bug contributing to my playback problem?
[11:56] <cfhowlett> oslt, my sound exposures begins and ends with audacity.  no need for the deeper techniques ...
[11:56] <jarnos> oslt, maybe.
[11:56] <oslt> cfhowlett: God, how I really do envy you. Will start painting, end the audio fuck.
[11:56] <oslt> cfhowlett: Better deaf than blind, isn't it?
[11:57] <cfhowlett> oslt, one might say.  best of luck.
[11:57] <jarnos> oslt, why do you think sound it big challenge for Linux?
[11:58] <oslt> jarnos: I think since I startet to work with linux five years ago, I spent one year with trying get jack working.
[11:59] <jarnos> oslt, ahaa
[11:59] <oslt> jarnos: one week before I was told by a jack developer, to get rid off ubuntu 10.04 because eol.
[12:00] <oslt> jarnos: and because of running into similar problems with sound.
[12:00] <jarnos> oslt, yes, maybe pulseaudio and jack work better in later releases. I have not experience of using jack.
[12:00] <oslt> cfhowlett: So I did, copying user data, reimplementing applications.
[12:01] <oslt> cghowlett: sorry
[12:01] <oslt> jarnos: and then today in the morning sound vanished for ever with jack again.
[12:01] <cfhowlett> oslt, as Sam L. Jackson would say: ENGLISH!@
[12:02] <oslt> jarnos: Don't you think audio production is a big chellenge for linux
[12:02] <oslt> jarnos: Considering that even special distris are not able to provide working solutions?
[12:03] <oslt> cfhowlett: I don't understand, is my English very bad? :-(
[12:04] <oslt> jarnos: Thank you for talking to me.
[12:04] <cfhowlett> oslt, I was slyly commenting on the tech-jargon what was so far over my head.  Just ignore me.
[12:04] <oslt> I say hello meanwhile.
[12:05] <oslt> Seems that at the moment nobody here, that has similar problems solved.
[12:13] <jarnos> oslt, so have you tried the latest release?
[12:14] <oslt> Yes 13.04
[12:18] <oslt> jarnos: I had tried from live cd, everythin seemed to be perfect. Even jack and ardour.
[12:18] <oslt> jarnos: Something happened, even thoug I didn't mess around.
[12:19] <oslt> jarnos: it is honeymoon for me and my new ubuntu studio.
[12:22] <jarnos> oslt, strange, usually things work better than from live cd.
[12:22] <oslt> oslt: hihi :-(
[12:26] <oslt> jarnos: I read: If the dbus option is checked in Qjackctl (Jack Control) setup, it should work without any other tweak
[12:27] <oslt> jarnos: Can't find DBus option where is it?
[12:27] <oslt> Sorry, I wanted to type in #jack

[20:18] <nick> hey
[20:19] <Guest64938> there was a Len-NB or something like that on last night who helped me with isntalling ubuntu studio... it was a damaged usb drive (i knew it worked before because i installed last week)... wanted to thank him
[23:29] <MaynardWaters> hello, I have a 12.04 LTS install on an external HD, and I have moved it to a old ibm thinkpad
[23:29] <MaynardWaters> it lets me log in using my normal password
[23:29] <MaynardWaters> then once I am logged in, the numbers that are associated with letters take over rather than the letters
[23:30] <MaynardWaters> so i know thats the problem involves the numlock key, but im not sure how to fix it
[23:30] <len-1310>  :)
[23:32] <len-1310> Hmm, settings->keyboard works on a session basis. There is a system default too.
[23:32] <len-1310> MaynardWaters, do you know where the numlock key is for your thinkpad?
[23:33] <len-1310> Does that fix your problem (till next login)
