[00:05] <holstein> Navion: i was told that device is plug and play
[00:05] <holstein> Navion: are you using JACK?
[00:05] <holstein> Navion: as in #opensourcemusicians as well
[00:07] <Navion> I'll check over there too. The analog parts of it seem to work OK. I bought it specifically for the S/PDIF input.
[00:08] <Navion> holstein:
[00:16] <holstein> Navion: RME are typically well supported, if the spidif is what you are looking for
[01:01] <jeenio> so... I will try to install ubuntu studio on my new pc... alongside with windows 8
[01:02] <jeenio> I think I've read enough forums to give it a go, any last minute hints? I've shrunk the C: partition, made a bootable usb disk with the latest 13.04 64bit build...
[01:02] <jeenio> I've been away from IT stuff for 5 years, now there's UEFI, GPT, and all sorts of new things :)
[01:02] <Guest96212> jeenio, Sounds like you are ready to go.
[01:03] <Guest96212> Have something else to do while it is installing
[01:03] <Guest96212> It takes a while
[01:06] <jeenio> I have my old laptop, where I'm IRC'ing from...
[01:06] <jeenio> 8 years computer
[01:06] <jeenio> last time I bought one :)
[01:10] <jeenio> I bought the new pc 3 weeks ago and I still can't work properly with windows 8
[01:11] <jeenio> I consider myself as a computer literate (not to say savy...) but this is getting on my nerves
[01:11] <Guest96212> I haven't used Windows 8 yet. My computer is dual boot with Windows 7
[01:12] <jeenio> I was considering the option to downgrade to windows 7, but apparently I would encounter hardware issues... as in "your pc won't work 100% with windows 7. so there."
[01:14] <jeenio> I helped some friends in the past to install or upgrade to windows 7, and I really enjoyed the OS. Seems fast and powerful. Windows 8 feels like it was made for kids...
[01:15] <Guest96212> Are you using Windows 8 or 8.1?
[01:15] <jeenio> I didn't even know there was a 8.1 version
[01:15] <Guest96212> Its a free upgrade
[01:15] <jeenio> Even though I bought the pc 3 weeks ago, I think it's from last year.
[01:16] <jeenio> Ah really? I should try then.
[01:16] <jeenio> Or maybe I have it already.
[01:18] <Guest96212> I only came out a week or two ago
[01:19] <jeenio> Hum... somehow I'm not getting it to work. Isn't it for the Pro version only?
[01:19] <jeenio> Well... I will take care of it later. I'll try to reboot with the usb stick now.
[01:20] <Guest96212> Oh my mistake. I looked it up and I guess it is just the public "preview" that came out a couple weeks ago
[01:21] <jeenio> yeah I just read that too.
[01:26] <jeenio> hum... blank screen
[01:27] <jeenio> I booted the usb stick, GRUB came on, I chose, "Install UbuntuStudio" and it went blank.
[01:28] <jeenio> Back to the forums...
[01:29] <smartboyhw> jeenio, hmm?
[01:29] <smartboyhw> What did you use to load the Ubuntu Studio image into the USB?
[01:30] <jeenio> some windows program... Rufus I believe. It was one of the first results in google
[01:31] <SonikkuAmerica> jeenio: You're better off with Universal USB Installer. http://pendrivelinux.com/
[01:31] <smartboyhw> jeenio, rather, use UNetbootin
[01:32] <SonikkuAmerica> smartboyhw: Unetbootin for Windows corrupted my destination disk. It's kinda up in the air, the Windows version is.
[01:32] <jeenio> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2119734 Well this person had the same problem... even though my gfx card is Nvidia and hers was AMD
[01:32] <smartboyhw> SonikkuAmerica, hah, it didn't for me
[01:32] <smartboyhw> jeenio, hmm, it is an X problem...
[01:33] <SonikkuAmerica> smartboyhw: I had to smash my USB drive, then I used UUI and it worked like a charm. :)\
[01:33] <SonikkuAmerica> -\
[01:34] <smartboyhw> Hmm
[01:35] <SonikkuAmerica> Well it was a 4 GB IDE hard drive I USB-hooked, the differences are prob immense
[01:36] <jeenio> ok, I'll try UUI...
[01:39] <Guest96212> jeenio, by any chance did you have anything else saved on the USB besides the "live image"?
[01:39] <jeenio> no, it was formatted.
[01:39] <jeenio> btw, it's better to format the USB stick in which file system?
[01:40] <jeenio> FAT32? exFAT?
[01:40] <jeenio> it doesn't matter?
[01:40] <SonikkuAmerica> UUI will let you do FAT32 formatting from its setup screen.
[01:41] <jeenio> ok. UUI doesn't present UbuntuStudio13.04 from the dropdown menu
[01:41] <jeenio> which is a pity, cause that's the ISO I've downloaded :)
[01:41] <SonikkuAmerica> jeenio: Just use "Try another ISO" or whatever it's called
[01:42] <SonikkuAmerica> It will work. I installed Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 that way.
[01:43] <jeenio> hum... but it will install MBR instead GPT
[01:43] <jeenio> no
[01:43] <jeenio> it will install ON THE USB that. Yes. I'm stupid. :)
[01:44] <SonikkuAmerica> MBR partitions are fine for Live systems.
[01:45] <jeenio> yeah but I want to install, not run from live cd.
[01:45] <jeenio> But it's fine.
[01:45] <SonikkuAmerica> jeenio: Either way you boot the Live image!
[01:45] <jeenio> ok :D
[01:56] <jeenio> I wonder if the old problem with UbuntuStudio and M-Audio Fast Track Pro is solved...
[01:56] <jeenio> I had to install in the old laptop another distro (AV Linux) because of that problem.
[01:57] <jeenio> I mean, I know it's an old interface, but I like it :)
[01:57] <SonikkuAmerica> jeenio: It should be. I checked it using Qjackctl, it runs with no problem.
[01:58] <jeenio> with 4 outputs??
[01:59] <SonikkuAmerica> jeenio: No, just one. :)
[01:59] <SonikkuAmerica> jeenio: Particularly MidiSport USB
[01:59] <jeenio> ah well
[01:59] <jeenio> I kinda need the 4 outputs
[02:02] <jeenio> AH GREEEEEAT with UUI the USB stick is not even being recognized by the BIOS...
[02:06] <SonikkuAmerica> jeenio: Did it work before?
[02:06] <jeenio> yes
[02:07] <jeenio> damn it
[02:09] <SonikkuAmerica> With UUI, or another program?
[02:09] <jeenio> another program: Rufus
[02:10] <jeenio> and then someone told me "you need UUI, the problem you have is the image not something else" :)
[02:10] <jeenio> It's ok, you're trying to help :)
[02:52] <david_> jeenio, Did it give an error message?
[10:20] <gray> hello guys
[10:53] <ThunderStudio> salute
=== david is now known as Guest89955
[17:31] <Guest89955> The help buttons on a bunch of the default software in UbuntuStudio just give error messages.
[17:31] <Guest89955> Should I file bugs for each individual application
[17:31] <Guest89955> Or is it actually a UbuntuStudio packaging bug?
[17:32] <Guest89955> (13.04)
[17:32] <Guest89955> For example Applications Menu > Accessories > Screenshot, then click Help
[17:33] <Guest89955> Applications Menu > Settings > Main Menu, then click Help
[18:04] <Guest89955> I went ahead and filed a bug for Ubuntu Studio (since I'm not even short what the Screenshot application's real name is

[19:12] <Navion> Does Ubuntu-Studio support ZFS or do I have to load that separatly?
[19:19] <guitara> Hello
[19:19] <guitara> I have a question to ask
[19:23] <Guest89955> Navion, Probably not. Here's the chart from GParted:
