[07:32] <studio-user192> hello
[09:50] <Guest61362> ...any ppc people here?
[09:51] <smartboyhw> Guest61362, ppc? We never made Ubuntu Studio for powerpc. Go to #ubuntu-powerpc :)
[09:51] <Guest61362> thanks
[10:53] <Guest61362> <---running studio with the no latency option...nice and smooth
[10:55] <cub> on ppc?
[10:59] <Guest61362> nope...on a Dell Inspirion XPS 435
[10:59] <Guest61362> i7 with 12 GB RAM
[11:00] <Guest61362> ,--I want to have both "Studios" networked
[11:00] <cub> I have an old imac, it would be awesome to get ubuntu studio on it. :P
[11:01] <Guest61362> well there is ubuntu 12.04 ppc...you just use synaptic to upgrade....so they say
[11:01] <cub> I'm not sure the imac will manage that. :P
[11:02] <cub> but I did run some old fedora on years ago
[11:02] <Guest61362> but I can't get the geoforce 6600 to present a GUI...Ijust ge the black screen are I boot
[11:02] <Guest61362> <---has a mac g5
[11:03] <Guest61362> there are videos on youtube showing how to install ubuntu and fedora on macbooks and related platforms
[11:03] <cub> yeah I was looking into installing Debian wheezy, but have had time for it so far
[11:05] <Guest61362> I don't like doing the "upgrade over the internet" stuff anyway...your system is unstable unless you are very careful
[11:06] <Guest61362> I have had problems getting classic mac os's to work as well...i have tiger 10.48 upgraded to 10.4.11
[11:07] <Guest61362> and a harddrive I got on eBay messed up
[12:43] <columb> Hello. I have 2 audio cards (CA0106 and ALC1200) and 5.1 speakers. CA0106 sometimes starts randomly speed up audio and ALC1200 doesn't support 5.1 audio. How do I fix something of it?
[15:44] <holstein> columb: what are you using to support the 2 cards?
[15:44] <holstein> columb: i would probably try the main ubuntu channel, or maybe the myth channel
[15:45] <holstein> we are really more about creating content.. though, if i can help i will
[15:45] <holstein> using multiple cards is not ideal
[15:45] <columb> Already tried #ubuntu.
[15:45] <holstein> columb: so, you "tried" #ubuntu?
[15:45] <holstein> and then came here?
[15:45] <columb> Yep.
[15:45] <holstein> how about the main ubuntu mailing list?
[15:46] <holstein> how about the myth channel?
[15:46] <holstein> how about elaborating right here in this channel?
[15:46] <holstein> !detais
[15:46] <holstein> !details
[15:46] <columb> Ubuntu is 12.04 LTS. Seems like I provided other info.
[15:46] <holstein> sure
[15:47] <holstein> i'll just ask my specific question agin
[15:47] <holstein> again*
[15:47] <holstein> no problem
[15:47] <holstein> columb: how are you supporting the 2 cards? with pulseaudio?
[15:48] <columb> Installed ubuntu like 2 days ago. I guess they are supported by alsa.
[15:48] <holstein> columb: confirm that you are using pulse or not
[15:48] <columb> How do I know it?
[15:48] <holstein> columb: share with me how you are using and configuring the 2 seperate sound cards
[15:48] <holstein> !pulse
[15:48] <holstein> pulse audio is another community that could be providing you with suport
[15:49] <holstein> what do i suggest?
[15:49] <holstein> i would remove one card, and just do stereo
[15:49] <holstein> keep it simple for now
[15:49] <columb> Right now I'm on stereo. It works... But I would like to use 5.1...
[15:50] <holstein> columb: sure, and im sure you will learn to suppor it, or purchase hardware that provides better linux support
[15:51] <holstein> otherwise, confirm you are using pulse and check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio and have in mind *exactly* what you would like to do
[15:51] <holstein> for example, are you wanting to split the 5.1 signal from some software and route it to the 2 cards?
[15:53] <columb> There is no need to use both cards. I purchased second a while ago for better sound quality. All I want is working 5.1 speakers on any of my cards.
[15:54] <holstein> columb: if one of the cards has 5.1 output, plug it in.. i would remove the other cards you are not going to use
[15:54] <columb> It's built-in.
[15:54] <holstein> it?
[15:54] <holstein> which?
[15:54] <holstein> you mentioned 2 devices? correct?
[15:54] <columb> Yes.
[15:54] <holstein> 2 sound cards?
[15:54] <columb> One of them is built-in.
[15:55] <columb> ALC1200.
[15:55] <holstein> columb: so, remove the other one.. and use the built in
[15:55] <columb> But it does not support 5.1 :(
[15:55] <holstein> so, disable the onboard in the bios, and use the 5.1 one
[15:55] <holstein> though, you dont know that 5.1 is supported on the device
[15:55] <holstein> columb: does the vendor support linux?
[15:56] <columb> CA0106. There are a dozen of topics on ubuntu forums with issues with this card.
[15:56] <columb> But it do support 5.1 audio.
[15:57] <columb> No idea about vendor support.
[15:57] <holstein> columb: do they provide linux support?
[15:57] <holstein> columb: then, it may not work with linux.. in 5.1
[15:57] <holstein> columb: you can ask them to provide you support.. or you can "hack" around at it with alsa
[15:57] <holstein> what would i do? just use what is working, and let the system fake 5.1 after the stereo output
[15:57] <columb> CA0106 do work with linux. But sometimes it starts speeding up all audio on my pc.
[15:58] <holstein> columb: sounds like its not working well
[15:58] <holstein> columb: have you contacted the vendor of the hardware?
[15:58] <holstein> columb: what is the output of "aplay -l" ?
[15:58] <columb> It's should software related issue. Because it's worked fine under Windows.
[15:59] <holstein> columb: ?
[15:59] <holstein> columb: the vendor provided you that windows driver
[15:59] <holstein> columb: if they provided you a linux driver, it would work as well
[15:59] <columb> No, it's worked out of box.
[15:59] <holstein> the windows support is irrelevant
[16:00] <holstein> columb: linux supports what it can.. the kernel is modular.. that doesnt mean its going to be able to work "properly"
[16:00] <holstein> columb: what is the output of "aplay -l" ?
[16:00] <columb> http://pastebin.com/HKnWdzyh
[16:01] <holstein> columb: looks like its supporting all the outputs
[16:01] <holstein> columb: the *only* issue you have is that is "speeds up" ?
[16:01] <columb> With ca0106 - yes.
[16:02] <holstein> columb: why do you say "with ca106" ?
[16:02] <holstein> are you using the other device?
[16:02] <holstein> columb: im about to leave, so i will give you a list of things to try
[16:03] <holstein> columb: i would try the pulse audio channel
[16:03] <holstein> when asking for help, i would *not* mention what you are mentioning
[16:03] <holstein> you make it seem like you are using multiple devices to emulate 5.1
[16:03] <holstein> columb: i would say "im using this device and when i play this material it speeds up"
[16:03] <holstein> i would test something with good codec support in something well supported
[16:04] <columb> Right now I'm using built-in ALC1200.
[16:04] <holstein> VLC with an ogg file
[16:04] <holstein> see if you can replicate the exact conditions for the speedup
[16:04] <holstein> start the application that is speeding up the audio from the terminal, and see if you see helpful output
[16:05] <holstein> columb: stop using the built in audio.. if you can, disable it in the bios for your testing
[16:06] <columb> Guys from #ubuntu helped me to enable it. The issue was before it was disabled.
[16:06] <columb> *it was enabled.
[16:06] <holstein> columb: if you dont want to use it, then turn it off, and troubleshoot the issue
[16:07] <holstein> columb: as i suggested, in the bios would be best
[16:07] <columb> Stereo is better then speeded up sound. :(
[16:07] <holstein> columb: ?
[16:07] <holstein> columb: this is for troubleshooting the issue
[16:07] <holstein> columb: i am here on and off, and i will try and point you in the proper direction...OR you can wait for another volunteer
[16:08] <holstein> though, you wont get specific help for that issue here, likely..
[16:08] <columb> Thanks for your help.
[16:08] <holstein> and, i will help you, but you will need to be willing to troubleshoot
[16:08] <holstein> so, good luck and i will be happy to help later if i can, and you are willing. cheers!
[23:22] <Ambrose> Hello, can anyone recommend a way to remotely connect to the GUI, via VNC or RDP so that I can share the same desktop on the physical machine and remotely?
[23:30] <vlt> Ambrose: x11vnc
[23:31] <Ambrose> vlt: Hah thanks, I was just about to apt-get that :p
[23:38] <Ambrose> vlt: Got it all dialed in here, thanks.
[23:39] <Ambrose> Also installed xrdp so I don't have to download a seperate client :D
