[01:10] <OvenWerks> holstein: Lumpy was probably looking for me. I know his setup a bit from the past and what he is trying to do. Ping me if he is around again. I was napping though :)
[01:10] <holstein> OvenWerks: will do
[01:10] <OvenWerks> thanks
[02:59] <Aethysius> This is from a place of ignorance, but what makes Ubuntu Studio different from any other Ubuntu distro? Just the software with which it's packaged?
[03:00] <holstein> basically.. same as xubuntu vs ubuntu or whatever
[03:00] <holstein> ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu, but its quite different
[03:00] <Aethysius> How so?
[03:01] <holstein> we all have access to all the repos.. for example, XFCE is in the repos.. so is unity.. ubuntu uses unity, we and xubuntu use XFCE
[03:02] <Aethysius> Excellent.
[03:02] <Aethysius> I detest Unity.
[03:02] <holstein> i dont
[03:02] <Aethysius> So, US is more akin to Xubuntu?
[03:02] <holstein> i just dont use it, because i dont prefer it.. though, volunteers work on supporting, creating, and maintaining unity, and have come a long way in a short time with it
[03:03] <holstein> Aethysius: xubuntu and ubuntustudio use XFCE
[03:03] <Aethysius> Right.
[03:20] <Aethysius> Sorry to be obtuse sounding.
[03:21] <holstein> nah.. ask what you like.. im just trying to be clear
[03:22] <Aethysius> I'm actually using Kubuntu right now; I might just switch over to US for my main distro; I just use the web browser, IRC, music, and the occasional movie.
[03:22] <holstein> you can use whatever you like from our packages in kubuntu or under kde
[03:22] <holstein> if you like KDE, you like KDE.. and might want to keep it
[03:23] <Aethysius> True.
[03:24] <Aethysius> I like KDE, it just doesn't like some of the software I like. ;)
[03:24] <Unit193> There are metapackages for the different UbuntuStudio tasks, but seems like that'd be overkill.
[03:25] <Aethysius> Oh?
[03:25] <holstein> correct
[03:26] <Unit193> !find ubuntustudio
[03:29] <Aethysius> I see.
[16:19] <occ> has anyone here installed ubuntuStudio 12.04 on a laptop and everything worked out the box?
[16:20] <zequence> occ: What is not working for you?
[16:20] <occ> im just looking for a laptop to buy. and want it to be fully compatible
[16:20] <occ> without tinkering
[16:21] <zequence> occ: Whatever works with Ubuntu will work with Ubuntu Studio, so, if you want to be 100% sure, check out the Ubuntu certified machines
[16:21] <occ> yes iv looked at that list but it is very limited
[16:27] <zequence> occ: I'd just make sure that all the devices are supported
[16:28] <zequence> like, make sure the camera is not custom, or that the wifi is not supported
[16:28] <zequence> but, I wouldn't be able to recommend any machines myself
[16:31] <occ> yeh iv been looking at individual components too. but some manufacturers seem to do retarded stuff on their machines which make anything possible
[16:31] <zequence> system76 makes some nice machines
[16:32] <zequence> https://www.system76.com/
[16:32] <occ> yeh i saw that too.... wish i could get one but cant order stuff online as i need to buy it and have it in the next couple of days
[16:33] <zequence> got to a store with a live DVD or usb stick, and ask if you can test boot
[16:33] <zequence> go*
[16:35] <occ> yeh i might try that
[22:42] <angel> hi
[22:42] <angel>  i can't find midi codecs for ardour
[22:47] <occ> keep looking. dont give up
[23:38] <JailBird> hi everyone
[23:42] <JailBird> Im running ubuntu studio 10.04 and Im having difficulty with the network detection. Im a complete linux noob.
[23:49] <JailBird> I see irc is alive now more than ever.
[23:55] <OvenWerks> lumpy__: I am here now
