[01:39] <songshop> hi folks - new here. just wondering about the gnu toolchain in US 13.04 - do i need to install it ??
[01:45] <OvenWerks> songshop: I am not sure what you mean... If you mean for building SW there is some installed, but possibly not all.
[01:46] <OvenWerks> If the install is a general meta (or two) a reinstall will not harm anything and only install packages not present.. That is using the apt-get install command.
[01:47] <songshop> OvenWerks,: thanks for the reply - what ppa's do you recoomend for RT and toolchain ?
[01:48] <OvenWerks> RT I am not sure about. The tools should be available in the normal ubuntu repos.
[01:48] <OvenWerks> I am not the best person to ask :)
[01:50] <OvenWerks> Personally, I have had very good success with our low latency kernel with sub 1ms latency and no xruns.
[01:50] <OvenWerks> but the HW has to be set up just right to do that
[01:53] <OvenWerks> zequence_ is the one who knows the kernels better than I do.
[02:04] <songshop> OvenWerks, thank you for the info ;)
[02:51] <david_> How do I set the default screen brightness in Ubuntu Studio? Currently I have to reduce the screen brightness each time I log in.
[02:55] <holstein> david_: that pretty normal, i think, depending on the graphics driver support
[02:55] <holstein> david_: you have nvidia?
[02:56] <david_> holstein, yes.
[02:57] <david_> The brightness of the external monitor is fine (I guess it has its own controls) but the laptop monitor is always on full brightness
[02:57] <holstein> always? or at boot up?
[02:58] <david_> holstein, when I boot up, until I manually reduce the brightness using the Fn key
[02:58] <david_> combo
[02:59] <holstein> david_: for me, that would be acceptable, since nothing on the hardware says "linux support"
[02:59] <holstein> david_: you can mess around with that and mabye get it working with a different driver. or, mess it all up and it'll never boot again
[02:59] <holstein> i would try and tolerate the support that is working..
[03:01] <david_> holstein, There isn't a way to even say "press Fn+F6" automatically when I log in.
[03:01] <david_> ?
[03:02] <holstein> david_: that on a hardare level
[03:02] <holstein> david_: sometimes, on my intel chips, it "forgets"
[03:02] <holstein> david_: unless you want to purchase a machine with linux support, like system76, you really need to be open to accepting some compromises
[03:03] <holstein> since, the hardware is not officially suppoting linux
[03:03] <holstein> david_: are you on 13.04? with the xedgers ppa?
[03:03] <holstein> !steam | david_ i would ask here
[03:03] <ubottu> david_ i would ask here: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion.
[03:03] <holstein> steam is really helping us get support
[03:03] <holstein> OK. gota run..
[03:04] <david_> ok. Thansk holstein
