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