| joe | I just installed UbuntuStudio. There are odd things going on with menus and shadows | 06:26 |
|---|---|---|
| joe | Where a shadow should be, there is a black box.... | 06:26 |
| joe | Any clue as to what is wrong> | 06:26 |
| joe | ? | 06:26 |
| joe | joe@joe-HP-d220-MT-DW990A:~$ sudo lshw -c video|grep driver | 06:27 |
| joe | configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 | 06:27 |
| Unit193 | That'd be why. | 06:28 |
| Unit193 | joe: Yep, driver=i915 would be why. What card do you have? | 06:29 |
| joe | On board p4 motherboard | 06:33 |
| joe | 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device | 06:33 |
| joe | the shadows render fine from windows. It is just menus having the problem | 06:34 |
| joe | and the alt-tab window | 06:34 |
| Unit193 | What's your bitdepth? | 06:34 |
| joe | width: 32 bits | 06:35 |
| Unit193 | Anywho, there's an update for mesa, try installing updates and see if it fixes. I have that card, expect problems in the future. | 06:35 |
| joe | I have an old nvidia i can throw in.... | 06:35 |
| joe | This is for a friend for audio recording. | 06:36 |
| Unit193 | xdpyinfo | grep root | 06:36 |
| joe | Frankenstein PC w/ a creative live soundcard. Heh | 06:36 |
| joe | root window id: 0x72 | 06:36 |
| joe | depth of root window: 15 planes | 06:36 |
| jeevanus | hai, in my file manager i don't find any for searching files, where can i find it? | 07:45 |
| jeevanus | there? | 08:06 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Hullo, don't suppose anyone here can suggest a simple av editor for ubuntu? I've got a screencapture I intend to upload to youtube, but I need to clip a section from the beginning, middle, and end, and blur some parts out (logins). I've tried lives and when I clip the portions it only deletes video, leaving the audio out of sync with the video. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated | 10:01 |
| zequence | ntzrmtthihu777: try openshot | 10:15 |
| zequence | it even has youtube uploading built-in | 10:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | zequence: heh, its kicking my butt. I have not a clue as to using it XD | 10:16 |
| zequence | ntzrmtthihu777: First, import the material. Then, move it to the "sequencer" (don't know the right term). To resize a clip, use the tool for it | 10:17 |
| zequence | the "resize tool" | 10:18 |
| zequence | you can add the same clip multiple times | 10:18 |
| zequence | onto differerent channels | 10:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | I think this could be done with mplayer or the like, but I'm not sure about the syntax/options to use (personally I'm a bit of a terminal geek, heck I recorded this with a python script XD) | 10:19 |
| zequence | openshot is really easy | 10:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | heh, then I must be dumb XD | 10:19 |
| zequence | plus you have all the youtube formats listed | 10:19 |
| zequence | blurring stuff, I don't know if you can do in openshot though | 10:20 |
| zequence | you'd need to use something like kdenlive | 10:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | I'm not too worried about the youtube format, I've used this exact format for 5 previous ytube uploads. I'm more worried abut clipping cruft from the ends of the vid :P | 10:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kdenlive, does that depend on kde runtime as the name suggests? | 10:21 |
| zequence | some, yes | 10:21 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | blech, I rather wished I did not have to drag that into my system, lol (xubuntu). Oh well, I'll give it a shot :P | 10:23 |
| zequence | it's preinstalled on later Ubuntu Studio releases | 10:23 |
| zequence | much because it seems to be regarded the best video editor on Ubuntu | 10:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | izzat so. | 10:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | sigh, so many packages =_= | 10:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | so much crap with nothing to do with video editing *rage* I don't need another icon theme XD | 10:25 |
| zequence | icon theme? | 10:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yeah, oxigen-icon-theme or sommat | 10:28 |
| smartboyhw | Yeah, that's KDE's icon theme… | 10:28 |
| zequence | ah, I guess they use some of those icons for the applications | 10:28 |
| zequence | application* | 10:29 |
| zequence | the only way I know how to blur part of the screen on openshot would be to turn a video into png images, and edit them one by one | 10:29 |
| zequence | it's possible to use a sequence of images just as if it was a single clip | 10:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | it really irks me when people dev stuff depending on a certain de/wm unless it deals directly with said de. like ubuntu-tweak, really nice tool but it depends on unity, when quite alot of its features are just as nice for other des | 10:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | geeze, where is the import tool? | 10:32 |
| zequence | I'm not a video editor myself. I've just used openshot a couple of times to do simple videos. Never used kdenlive so far | 10:33 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | alright, I found it. man this is a pita XD | 10:33 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yay, avconv to the rescue :P | 10:38 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | hmm. perhaps I should re-record, I did make a few mistakes in the process... | 10:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yeah, I'ma do it again, lol. do it alot smoother this time, I hope :P | 10:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | thanks all, I shall return have I any issues :P | 10:47 |
| contrapunctus | Can someone please help me enable my trackpad under UbuntuStudio 12.04, and also make the key that enables/disables it work? :( | 16:21 |
| OvenWerks | contrapunctus: not sure | 16:28 |
| OvenWerks | what have you tried? | 16:28 |
| OvenWerks | Have you tried plugging a mouse in at all? | 16:29 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks - I've been using a wireless mouse so far but I also need my touchpad working | 16:29 |
| OvenWerks | At least we know that much works. | 16:29 |
| contrapunctus | I've tried searching around and reading the Ubuntu wiki but not sure what to sue | 16:29 |
| contrapunctus | *use | 16:29 |
| OvenWerks | It should show up like a mouse. I am assuming a built in touch pad? | 16:30 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks - there's more, I could enable/disable it with it's key on Mint 12, but that key never worked with UbuntuStudio 12.04, somehow | 16:30 |
| contrapunctus | Earlier I'd turn the touchpad on/off in Mint 12 and it'd stay on in UbuntuStudio, but I disabled it and later had to remove the Mint install, so now it won't turn on at all :\ | 16:31 |
| OvenWerks | Let me go upstairs, this machine is running kde right now... | 16:31 |
| contrapunctus | :) | 16:32 |
| OvenWerks | have you played with the setting menu at all? There is a mouse and touch pad part. | 16:34 |
| OvenWerks | I don't remember if that is in the settings manager or a separate settings menu item | 16:35 |
| OvenWerks | This is ubuntustudio 13.10 alpha :P | 16:35 |
| OvenWerks | I guess I should first ask if the touchpad shows up in device contrapunctus | 16:37 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks - settings manager -> mouse and touchpad. The devices tab is completely grayed out :\ | 16:37 |
| contrapunctus | *everything in the devices tab | 16:38 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks - ? | 16:41 |
| OvenWerks | on the phone | 16:41 |
| OvenWerks | contrapunctus: sorry about that. Gig on Monday. | 16:52 |
| contrapunctus | Sure. Wow. :) | 16:52 |
| OvenWerks | What that means is that there is only one device that it sees probably your mouse. | 16:53 |
| OvenWerks | So it is turned off in HW | 16:53 |
| contrapunctus | o.O | 16:53 |
| contrapunctus | How do I find out if it is, and, if so, what should I do to enable it? | 16:54 |
| OvenWerks | I am not sure. TBH | 16:54 |
| contrapunctus | :O | 16:55 |
| contrapunctus | T.T | 16:55 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks - Your best guess? | 16:56 |
| OvenWerks | do you know what kind of touchpad you have? | 16:57 |
| OvenWerks | is it a synaptics? | 16:57 |
| contrapunctus | As far as I can remember, yeah. | 16:58 |
| OvenWerks | synclient TouchpadOff=0 | 16:59 |
| OvenWerks | Does that do anything? | 16:59 |
| contrapunctus | No | 17:00 |
| OvenWerks | no errors? | 17:00 |
| contrapunctus | None o.o | 17:01 |
| OvenWerks | does lsusb show your touchpad? | 17:02 |
| OvenWerks | doesn't here... wonder what kind of interface it should be... | 17:04 |
| wip | is there such thing as midi priority? | 17:04 |
| OvenWerks | wip I need more info as to what you mean | 17:05 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks - no, it doesn't o.o | 17:05 |
| wip | i am experiencing some latency in the midi | 17:05 |
| wip | in jack you can set the priority in security/limit.conf and the qjackctl settings | 17:06 |
| OvenWerks | Are you using jack midi wip? | 17:06 |
| wip | i was asking if there's an equivalent for midi | 17:06 |
| wip | OvenWerks, both jack midi and a2j | 17:06 |
| OvenWerks | contrapunctus: ya it doesn't show with lspci either | 17:07 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks - There was some other command for this. Try xinput list. | 17:11 |
| OvenWerks | SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12[slave pointer (2)] | 17:12 |
| OvenWerks | Ya that would be it | 17:12 |
| OvenWerks | wip are you doing all yoour connections on the jack side? | 17:13 |
| OvenWerks | contrapunctus: it sounds like you are reading the same web pages I am :) | 17:13 |
| contrapunctus | lol, I tried this earlier | 17:14 |
| contrapunctus | But what solves this? | 17:14 |
| contrapunctus | none of the solutions on the pages I went through seemed applicable | 17:14 |
| wip | OvenWerks, using gladish | 17:15 |
| contrapunctus | I really need this working, it's causing productivity hits. | 17:15 |
| wip | some a2j (no choice) other jack midi | 17:15 |
| OvenWerks | a2j in the jack connections though. | 17:16 |
| OvenWerks | contrapunctus: lsmod shows psmouse as the module use (mouse unplugged just touchpad) | 17:19 |
| OvenWerks | contrapunctus: was this: http://resalxh.wordpress.com/2012/09/18/ubuntu-12-04-lts-x64-the-next-step-getting-touchpad-working/ | 17:20 |
| OvenWerks | one of the pages you looked at? | 17:21 |
| contrapunctus | same here in the same situation. | 17:21 |
| contrapunctus | No | 17:21 |
| contrapunctus | Lemme see | 17:21 |
| OvenWerks | wip which program are you using with your midi? | 17:24 |
| * OvenWerks is going to feed son | 17:25 | |
| zequence | wip: When you say latency, what do you mean? And which application is that? | 17:31 |
| zequence | wip: If you're working with pd, you'll need to set pd latency low as well | 17:31 |
| wip | well yes it is pd, but i have started another instance of it with only midi osc | 17:32 |
| zequence | make sure to set audio buffer size low | 17:32 |
| wip | pd is using -rt -jack -alsamidi | 17:32 |
| wip | zequence, the audio buf is set automatically (using jack no)? | 17:33 |
| zequence | the audio latency, and the internal control latency are not the same thing | 17:33 |
| zequence | when using jack, the audio buf will not affect jack, but it will affect internal control latency | 17:33 |
| zequence | in other words, jack sets the latency for hot signals, while pd sets the latency for cold signals | 17:34 |
| wip | in jack my latency is super low (for realtime fx) around 5ms | 17:34 |
| zequence | won't make a difference for puredata control signals though | 17:34 |
| wip | i start pd -rt -jack and the latency is very low (that's great) | 17:35 |
| wip | how to lower the control signal latency? | 17:35 |
| zequence | as I said, you need to set the puredata audio buffer low as well | 17:35 |
| zequence | something like 5-10 ms should do | 17:35 |
| wip | -audiobuf ? | 17:35 |
| zequence | yes | 17:36 |
| zequence | no, wait | 17:36 |
| zequence | let me check | 17:36 |
| wip | i've been using pd for decade, but never had to set this | 17:36 |
| zequence | yes, audiobug | 17:36 |
| zequence | audiobuf* | 17:36 |
| wip | will try, but i was certain that it was the same as jack no matter what you put here | 17:37 |
| wip | so something like pd -rt -jack -audiobuf 128? | 17:37 |
| zequence | audiobuf takes ms as argument | 17:37 |
| wip | cool | 17:37 |
| zequence | so, something between 5-10 would do | 17:37 |
| Unit193 | Hrm, Joe's issues would be fixed if he switched to UXA. | 17:42 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks, you there? | 19:17 |
| OvenWerks | Ya, how it goes? touchpad working yet? | 19:17 |
| contrapunctus | Yeah x_x | 19:17 |
| OvenWerks | Great! | 19:18 |
| OvenWerks | I wish I could claim I did something... | 19:18 |
| contrapunctus | Booted to another UbuntuStudio 12.04 partition, tried there. No go. | 19:18 |
| contrapunctus | Booted into my untouched-since-months Windows 7 partition, used the key to turn it on. | 19:18 |
| contrapunctus | Done. :( | 19:18 |
| contrapunctus | Is a way to see what input a keyboard is sending? :S | 19:19 |
| OvenWerks | Have you tried a newer live session from an ISO on a USB stick? | 19:19 |
| contrapunctus | It might give me a clue as to what the hell is up with the enable/disable key. | 19:19 |
| contrapunctus | Afraid I haven't. | 19:19 |
| contrapunctus | I could try though. | 19:19 |
| contrapunctus | brb one sec | 19:20 |
| OvenWerks | did that work as well? | 19:25 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks - Live session of 12.04, no good. The touchpad works, but the key to enable/disable it doesn't. | 19:26 |
| contrapunctus | Is there something that can test keyboard input? o.o | 19:26 |
| OvenWerks | I meant something newer like 13.10 ISO :) no matter. | 19:26 |
| OvenWerks | I don't know. | 19:26 |
| contrapunctus | :\ | 19:26 |
| contrapunctus | But if it worked in Mint 12 :\ | 19:27 |
| contrapunctus | y ubuntu y | 19:27 |
| OvenWerks | I am not sure which version mint 12 is ubuntu wise. | 19:27 |
| OvenWerks | mint 13 is based on r 13.04 | 19:28 |
| contrapunctus | It's based on something older than 12.04, I'm sure. | 19:28 |
| contrapunctus | Oneric (sp?) I think. | 19:28 |
| OvenWerks | 11.10? | 19:28 |
| contrapunctus | Yeah, probably. | 19:28 |
| OvenWerks | That may have still been a 2.6 kernel. | 19:29 |
| contrapunctus | o.O | 19:29 |
| contrapunctus | So which kernel is 12.04? | 19:29 |
| OvenWerks | 3.2? I think... | 19:29 |
| contrapunctus | I see... | 19:30 |
| OvenWerks | My server is is 3.2.0 | 19:30 |
| contrapunctus | So the kernel upgrade broke it? o.o | 19:30 |
| OvenWerks | Could be. That would be my guess | 19:30 |
| OvenWerks | 13.04 was 3.8 and now the generic is 3.9 | 19:31 |
| OvenWerks | Ours is still 3.8, but by release may be 3.10 | 19:31 |
| contrapunctus | #ubuntu seems to have taken it to their heart to not reply to me, lol | 19:32 |
| OvenWerks | There is proably no one there who knows | 19:33 |
| contrapunctus | Rather unusual. | 19:34 |
| contrapunctus | lmao | 19:35 |
| OvenWerks | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_Keyboard_Keys_in_Xorg | 19:35 |
| OvenWerks | Has some stuff on keyboards | 19:35 |
| contrapunctus | OvenWerks - xev. Now you know too ;) | 19:36 |
| OvenWerks | But that would depend on x knowing about the HW/SW switch to begin with. | 19:37 |
| OvenWerks | Which is kernel. | 19:37 |
| contrapunctus | :( | 19:38 |
| OvenWerks | When I try to look at the file they suggest I get "no such file" :P | 19:38 |
| contrapunctus | /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h ? | 19:39 |
| contrapunctus | I get a freaking big list o.o | 19:40 |
| OvenWerks | Probably need one of the X11-dev packages installed | 19:40 |
| OvenWerks | I'm back on KDE so mine is different. | 19:40 |
| contrapunctus | So this kind of stuff | 19:42 |
| contrapunctus | Is there a specialty channel for it? o.o | 19:42 |
| OvenWerks | This the first time I have dealt with this. | 19:42 |
| contrapunctus | :S | 19:43 |
| OvenWerks | Anything that hasn't worked for me, I noramlly google till I find it. | 19:43 |
| OvenWerks | Normall the computer model and problem | 19:43 |
| OvenWerks | Anyway, I need to do some things... non-computer related for a bit. | 19:44 |
| contrapunctus | Okay | 19:44 |
| contrapunctus | Thank you for your time, OvenWerks ^^ | 19:45 |
| OvenWerks | !touchpad | 19:45 |
| ubottu | For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 19:45 |
| contrapunctus | lul | 19:47 |
| contrapunctus | Already crossed it thrice, but thanks ;) | 19:48 |
| OvenWerks | Looks old... | 19:48 |
