| inahd | hello, im am being frustrated by my microphone... got linux mint to hear the sound from it but getting the sound to ardour is frustrating me. i am using a lexicon alpha usb soundcard thing, apparently jack isn't recieving its message | 02:11 |
|---|---|---|
| inahd | tried changing the input device to lexicon and usb audio to no avail | 02:12 |
| inahd | i feel like i go through this everytime i try to record something. even after so many years of doing this it eludes me how i successfully accomplished it the last time | 02:13 |
| inahd | please help me! | 02:16 |
| wip | back in ubuntustudio 12.04 | 03:39 |
| wip | will install kxstudio on top and see if i can manage to use cadence / catia etc... instead of qjackctl and his patchbay (berk) | 03:39 |
| holstein | cool | 03:40 |
| holstein | /j #kxstudio since you'll be using it, and not ubuntustudio | 03:40 |
| wip | well will stick at both places | 03:41 |
| holstein | sure.. im not kicking you out ;) ..just sayin' | 03:41 |
| wip | hai | 03:42 |
| pylot | anybody able to point me to a good tutorial for qtracktor? i have a basic understanding of how to use it, but something to help me through the jargon would be nice | 07:25 |
| cub | pylot, I haven't used it myself but perhaps http://ubuntustudiomusic.wordpress.com/ have some good information? | 07:34 |
| pylot | cub, cheers but it seems the blogs a build out of date, im running 13.04 and it talks about the packages in 12.04 | 07:39 |
| cub | yes, but the jargon shouldn't have changed much? | 07:39 |
| pylot | some of it is useful, but even the qtracktor segment is an older build of the application | 07:40 |
| pylot | much of the UI is different | 07:40 |
| cub | aha | 07:40 |
| pylot | cheers anyway, as i said i found some helpful tips for other applications | 07:40 |
| ubuntu-studio | Hi guys, I have been having the worst time, for a LONG time now with Ubuntu. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but, getting it to the place I love is near impossible. Usually I can fix my issues, than another arises... this time I am just stuck. I couldn't get my screen to stop flashing and blinking and having lines. I finally got nomodeset working, I put it BEFORE the words quiet splash (Ive seen people saying to pu | 16:51 |
| ubuntu-studio | t it after as well) and the screen appears right for the first time... BUT, now, my resolution is 1024x768 or 8x600 - can't get better - which doesn't work for me. I need to fix this SO DAMN BAD and I've wasted SO many weeks trying to get things right.... can someone PLEASE help. God, I'd be grateful, sooo grateful. | 16:51 |
| ubuntu-studio | you have to be fucking kidding me.... 15 min and now my screen starts flashing too.... w....t....f.... | 16:52 |
| ubuntu-studio | hey guys, anyone available? I've been here a bunch with no luck. I can't get my graphics driver/card working. It works fine with Ubuntu but on Ubuntu Studio my screen just keeps flashing, sometimes more than others, but, always - especially noticable on white colors. Nomodeset didn't work. ALso my resolution is now set to 1024x768, though I think I can change that with vga=834 after quiet splash - - but, that sti | 17:19 |
| ubuntu-studio | ll would not help me resolve my screen issue. its been days and days. i need this thing fixed. PLEASE, anyone help? | 17:19 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: I don't think anyone here has had your problem | 17:19 |
| ubuntu-studio | TheDrums: You like that band? Its one of my favs... never seen another listen to them. | 17:20 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: Sure it's not a XFCE issue? | 17:20 |
| ubuntu-studio | zequence: Do you have ANY idea what I am to do | 17:20 |
| ubuntu-studio | I am so freaking stumped. | 17:20 |
| ubuntu-studio | Loosing it here, man. | 17:20 |
| zequence | At which point does it start to flicker? | 17:20 |
| ubuntu-studio | it flickers in the OS | 17:20 |
| ubuntu-studio | randomly | 17:21 |
| ubuntu-studio | i see no pattern | 17:21 |
| zequence | yes, but at which point? | 17:21 |
| zequence | after login? | 17:21 |
| ubuntu-studio | I've no password to login. | 17:21 |
| zequence | at GRUB boot menu? | 17:21 |
| ubuntu-studio | So it just logs in automatically. | 17:21 |
| zequence | so, after login then.. | 17:21 |
| ubuntu-studio | No, but, I think I've noticed "Linux for creative humans" slightly be affected. | 17:21 |
| zequence | I'd strongly suspect if regular Ubuntu is fine, then your problem starts after logging into the ubuntu Studio session | 17:22 |
| ubuntu-studio | okay, that helps to narrow things a bit.... where from here would you say? | 17:23 |
| ubuntu-studio | Ive not once had a graphics problem with regular Ubuntu. | 17:23 |
| zequence | just to exclude one very remote possibility | 17:23 |
| zequence | have you tried different kernels? | 17:23 |
| zequence | Ubuntu Studio comes with linux-lowlatency by default | 17:24 |
| zequence | Also, do you have this problem on several releases, or only one? | 17:24 |
| ubuntu-studio | i am not very informed on kernels, but, i know i need low latency for my recording - and - there was ONE kernel change I made, but it was days ago and i dont recall its name or even if it was a bit successful | 17:24 |
| ubuntu-studio | interestingly i am unable to upgrade to 12.10 and up, though once it worked on studio (always fine on ubuntu) and when it DID work on studio I got the screen to only flicker in one spot under the tabs bar in chromium - but - i was not satisfied and now im back to it being horrible and i cant even get 12.10 upgraded again, plus, that update takes a LONG time and says its successful than the screen just turns on and off | 17:26 |
| ubuntu-studio | after boot before linux | 17:26 |
| ubuntu-studio | but, my last concern is 12.04, 10 or 13.04 - i just want to use studio and record. get this screen right again. | 17:27 |
| ubuntu-studio | also when i first installed studio i did not have this problem for hours - then it started - but now, eveeeery install i get the problem right off | 17:28 |
| ubuntu-studio | is any of this information helpful? | 17:28 |
| ubuntu-studio | But, yeah, the problem is on any release - and - I've NEVER been able to install 12.10 or 13.04 Ubuntu or Studio unless I start from the .04 LTS | 17:29 |
| zequence | There are two kernels in the repository. linux-lowlatency and linux-generic | 17:30 |
| zequence | you could try installing linux-generic, and when booting, select it from the GRUB menu | 17:30 |
| zequence | would be good to exclude that as a possibility | 17:31 |
| zequence | at which point does installing 12.10 and 13.04 fail? | 17:31 |
| ubuntu-studio | hmm | 17:32 |
| ubuntu-studio | it fails after it says it is successful | 17:32 |
| ubuntu-studio | when i restart | 17:32 |
| ubuntu-studio | after boot options | 17:32 |
| ubuntu-studio | before "linux for creative humans" | 17:32 |
| ubuntu-studio | everytime that is the same | 17:32 |
| zequence | how does it fail? | 17:32 |
| ubuntu-studio | screen on screen off | 17:32 |
| ubuntu-studio | all black | 17:32 |
| ubuntu-studio | you just can see the light behind the screen go on and off | 17:33 |
| zequence | ok, so the install does not fail, but logging in does not work because of a problem with your screen? | 17:33 |
| ubuntu-studio | ah | 17:33 |
| ubuntu-studio | yes | 17:33 |
| ubuntu-studio | sorry, guess i said that wrong | 17:33 |
| zequence | or, rather, you log in, but the screen does not work | 17:33 |
| ubuntu-studio | yeah, cause when i go to reinstall it says its reinstalling over whatever version, such as 12.10 | 17:33 |
| zequence | are the dimensions always wrong? | 17:34 |
| zequence | other dimensions than native dimensions may cause the screen to either stay black, or behave badly | 17:35 |
| zequence | this could be related to XFCE | 17:35 |
| ubuntu-studio | you mean my screen res? | 17:35 |
| ubuntu-studio | well, the only time that was off was when i used nomodeset | 17:35 |
| ubuntu-studio | also, let me just say how appreciative i am for your assistance - so so grateful for the help. | 17:36 |
| ubuntu-studio | i did find online a way to have nomodeset come in my res... by using vga=834 after the quiet splash - - | 17:37 |
| ubuntu-studio | never tried it though as nomodeset didnt solve the screen issue | 17:37 |
| zequence | yes, I was referring to resolution | 17:39 |
| zequence | if resolution is right, then the only thing I can think of is Hz | 17:40 |
| ubuntu-studio | 60.1 all day | 17:40 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: what kind of graphic card was this? | 17:40 |
| ubuntu-studio | eh, i had that figured out yesterday, i think ati | 17:40 |
| ubuntu-studio | uh | 17:40 |
| ubuntu-studio | raedon | 17:40 |
| zequence | do this in a terminal: | 17:41 |
| zequence | lspci | grep VGA | 17:41 |
| zequence | you can paste the line here | 17:41 |
| ubuntu-studio | samsung 700z5 laptop | 17:41 |
| ubuntu-studio | ok | 17:41 |
| ubuntu-studio | ubuntu-studio@ubuntu-studio:~$ lspci | grep VGA | 17:42 |
| ubuntu-studio | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) | 17:42 |
| ubuntu-studio | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Whistler [AMD Radeon HD 6600M Series] | 17:42 |
| ubuntu-studio | so its the 6600 series, i was curious, the box only says one of 3 series, ha. | 17:43 |
| ubuntu-studio | driver from the site maybe? i dont know how to install it | 17:44 |
| ubuntu-studio | ive even tried to install propritary drivers upon initial install when that option arises to try other drivers. | 17:44 |
| ubuntu-studio | funny, i cant right click EVER in 12.04 either, but the one time i was able to upgrade to .10 and 13 the rigt clicking came right back | 17:45 |
| zequence | on 12.04, the proprietary drivers are in deed an option | 17:45 |
| ubuntu-studio | well, the ones listed wouldnt install | 17:45 |
| zequence | actually, I'd just use regular Ubuntu and add Ubuntu Studio meta packages to it | 17:46 |
| zequence | would just make things simpler | 17:46 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: you're mostly interested in audio applications? | 17:47 |
| zequence | sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio linux-lowlatency | 17:47 |
| ubuntu-studio | well, let me ask you a few questions about that. first of all, what does that mean? i have grown fond of the application menu, its organized perfectly, audio producton > effects > mixers, etc | 17:47 |
| ubuntu-studio | ok, thats for regular ubuntu? gotcha | 17:47 |
| ubuntu-studio | ill have to write this down but its worth it if this solves my issues. | 17:48 |
| zequence | you can't get the menu with Unity, but at least the screen will work | 17:48 |
| ubuntu-studio | yeah, true. I will have ALL the same apps? | 17:48 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: let me write it down for you | 17:48 |
| ubuntu-studio | okay, thank you. | 17:48 |
| ubuntu-studio | I will save it on a usb drive in a text | 17:49 |
| ubuntu-studio | im running off the live cd anyway now | 17:49 |
| ubuntu-studio | which i suppose is obvious by the nick | 17:49 |
| ubuntu-studio | also, not sure the title for the bottom menu in studio, is that available in ubuntu? lol, i loved the ubuntu menus till i saw what i could do in studio, ehhh, but, sometimes you gotta give a little to get a little. its worth it. | 17:50 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: paste.ubuntu.com/5762175/ | 17:52 |
| zequence | paste.ubuntu.com/5762175/ | 17:52 |
| zequence | ah, damn | 17:52 |
| zequence | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5762175/ | 17:52 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: I forgot one more thing. After you did those things, reboot | 17:53 |
| zequence | then you're all ready for audio production on any Ubuntu flavor | 17:53 |
| ubuntu-studio | so, I will do the sudo usermod before the other part? | 17:53 |
| ubuntu-studio | to be a member | 17:53 |
| ubuntu-studio | aw man, you rule! | 17:53 |
| zequence | doesn't matter in which order | 17:53 |
| ubuntu-studio | ok | 17:53 |
| ubuntu-studio | Now, what of all the installed apps, I download each individually? | 17:53 |
| zequence | ubuntustudio-audio will install all the UBuntu Studio audio applications | 17:54 |
| zequence | there are more | 17:54 |
| zequence | ubuntustudio-video, ubuntustudio-graphics, etc | 17:54 |
| zequence | you can see them all if you do: apt-cache search ubuntustudio | 17:54 |
| zequence | you won't need ubuntustudio-desktop | 17:55 |
| ubuntu-studio | phone, one sec, sry | 17:55 |
| ubuntu-studio | sorry about that, catching up now | 18:03 |
| ubuntu-studio | ok, out of this what is it I'll need, everything but ubuntustudio-desktop? | 18:04 |
| ubuntu-studio | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5762213/ | 18:05 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: if you only do audio, ubuntustudio-audio is enough | 18:05 |
| zequence | it depends on all the audio applications | 18:06 |
| ubuntu-studio | well, i enjoy all the aspects | 18:06 |
| zequence | then, also install -video and -graphics | 18:06 |
| ubuntu-studio | of studio, mainly i will be using audio but all | 18:06 |
| zequence | you only need those three | 18:06 |
| zequence | then you get all the applications | 18:06 |
| ubuntu-studio | ok but not the other stuff, generations, look, icon, menu? | 18:07 |
| ubuntu-studio | okay, right on. | 18:07 |
| zequence | -audio depends on -generation, recording and -audio-plugins | 18:07 |
| zequence | the rest, you don't need | 18:07 |
| ubuntu-studio | do you have any idea how it installs these? seeing as there are so many apps, they are organized in menu for studio, how do i access a list of them? | 18:07 |
| ubuntu-studio | and, lastly, id like to take screens of the menu, as backup o make sure i get everything, and help me organize it properly.... i cant get my print screen to work - normally does maybe because i am on live cd, any thoughts? i just want pics of the 4 main menu audio, graphics, video, etc | 18:09 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: if you want to see what is included, just do: apt-get show ubuntustudio-audio | 18:15 |
| zequence | since there are sub packages, you will need to check them too | 18:16 |
| zequence | ubuntustudio-audio is a meta package | 18:16 |
| zequence | that means, it is really just some textfiles explaining dependencies | 18:16 |
| ubuntu-studio | okay i think i got this, let me see here... and, you have been the BIGGEST help, without which I'd still be swearing like a sailor. | 18:17 |
| zequence | ubuntustuidio-recording is also a meta package | 18:17 |
| zequence | misspell there | 18:17 |
| zequence | so, if you do: apt-cache show ubuntustudio-recording | 18:17 |
| zequence | you will see a bunch of applications | 18:17 |
| ubuntu-studio | looking like this is what i need out of the list | 18:17 |
| ubuntu-studio | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5762255/ | 18:17 |
| ubuntu-studio | So do you think i should go with 12.04, .10 or 13? And, I know I don't do any of this stuff we've discussed till I am fully upgraded to where I intend to stay. | 18:19 |
| ubuntu-studio | gotcha | 18:20 |
| wip | didn't know that a2jmidid -e takes so much cpu! | 18:26 |
| ubuntu-studio | zequence, you know whats weird, when i did apt-cache show for ubuntustudio-video i got audacity as one of the depends (apps I assume)... as thats an audio only app i was confused. no biggie, just curiosity | 18:37 |
| zequence | ubuntu-studio: It is used by video editor, when wanting to edit audio | 18:38 |
| zequence | That is the logic for why it is included there | 18:38 |
| zequence | video editors* | 18:38 |
| ubuntu-studio | right on, thanks man! | 18:38 |
