| mossyfunk | Hello. I have been playing with Audacity in linux mint for months and decided to install Ubuntu Studio. I am very confused as how to simply get my mic working... from what I read I need to set up Jack but when I open qJackctl it just says "inactive" and gives me no options displayed in any guide I can find. Is there an idiots guide anywhere? | 14:20 |
| caodepalha | i turn on the laptop and when i get to the login screen i can log in with my account, as guest or as other. everyway i try i get the> unable to launch startxfce4 x session> startxfce4 not found falling back to default session | 14:20 |
| cub | mossyfunk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/HowTos | 14:30 |
| cub | But for Audacity it should work in any way. How do you connect your mic? | 14:31 |
| mossyfunk | cub, thanks for responding. That is where I have been looking, but Jack will not start | 14:31 |
| mossyfunk | It is connected via M-Audio fast track box connected to pc via usb | 14:32 |
| mossyfunk | in sound settings I can see the input is getting signal from mic... just seem unable to get any applications to pick up signal | 14:32 |
| cub | sry, I'm on work laptop now so I can't check properly. Hopefully someone can jump in? | 14:35 |
| cub | mossyfunk, ^ | 14:35 |
| mossyfunk | cub, oh ok thanks though =) | 14:35 |
| caodepalha | can anyone help me_ | 14:38 |
| xequence | caodepalha: I missed your answer before probably | 14:40 |
| caodepalha | i turn on the laptop and when i get to the login screen i can log in with my account, as guest or as other. everyway i try i get the> unable to launch startxfce4 x session> startxfce4 not found falling back to default session | 14:40 |
| xequence | caodepalha: Ah, the xfce user settings are probably corrupt | 14:41 |
| xequence | caodepalha: delete some files in your user dir | 14:41 |
| xequence | caodepalha: like ~/.cache ~/.config | 14:41 |
| caodepalha | ok i problaby deleted some files yesterday | 14:41 |
| xequence | could be others | 14:41 |
| caodepalha | where can i do that_ | 14:41 |
| xequence | caodepalha: reboot in recovery mode | 14:42 |
| xequence | rm -r /home/<username>/.config | 14:42 |
| xequence | and so on | 14:42 |
| xequence | this will delete user settings for other stuff too | 14:42 |
| caodepalha | ok ive done that. im at the recovery menu | 14:43 |
| xequence | so, if you want to only delete XFCE configs/cache, you need to look for them | 14:43 |
| caodepalha | how can i look for them in the recovery menu_ | 14:43 |
| caodepalha | theres resume, clean, dpkg, fsck, grub, network, root, system summary | 14:45 |
| xequence | caodepalha: root | 14:45 |
| xequence | might be its write protected | 14:45 |
| xequence | you could start with network, then root | 14:45 |
| caodepalha | i write my username as i have it on the log in screen with capitals and space_ | 14:46 |
| xequence | caodepalha: root is a user | 14:47 |
| xequence | caodepalha: root has the power to write to any file | 14:47 |
| xequence | if you choose root, you login as root | 14:47 |
| xequence | not as the user | 14:47 |
| caodepalha | okok | 14:47 |
| xequence | as root you can run any command | 14:48 |
| caodepalha | so now im logged as root | 14:48 |
| caodepalha | could you tell me what command i should write | 14:48 |
| xequence | caodepalha: whats your username? | 14:49 |
| xequence | ls /home | 14:49 |
| xequence | will show the usernames | 14:49 |
| caodepalha | ok just found my username | 14:49 |
| caodepalha | biggest dummie | 14:50 |
| caodepalha | im sorry | 14:50 |
| xequence | replace <username> with your username in the next command | 14:50 |
| xequence | rm -r /home/<username>/.config /home/<username>/.cache | 14:51 |
| caodepalha | i got a cannot remove read only | 14:51 |
| xequence | make sure its not read only next time. Enable network next time | 14:51 |
| xequence | to exit, write: exit | 14:52 |
| caodepalha | im in network mode | 14:58 |
| caodepalha | after enabeling network i must restart_ | 15:00 |
| caodepalha | how do i start with network | 15:13 |
| xequence | caodepalha: Just network in the menu | 15:22 |
| xequence | I'll be back | 15:22 |
| caodepalha | now i cant even get to the recovery menu | 15:33 |
| caodepalha | when i start the desktop and press f11 it sends me to the login panel | 15:36 |
| xequence | caodepalha: shift is what gets you to the GRUB menu | 15:38 |
| xequence | keep pressing shift while booting | 15:39 |
| xequence | then choose the kernel with recovery mode | 15:39 |
| caodepalha | ok done it | 15:39 |
| caodepalha | back at the recovery menu | 15:39 |
| xequence | choose network. that should make things writable | 15:40 |
| xequence | then root | 15:40 |
| xequence | then.. | 15:40 |
| xequence | rm -r /home/<username>/.config /home/<username>/.cache | 15:40 |
| caodepalha | choose network. plugins loadind | 15:40 |
| caodepalha | loanig | 15:40 |
| caodepalha | loading | 15:41 |
| caodepalha | should i get any message when its finnished | 15:41 |
| xequence | You should get back to the menu | 15:42 |
| caodepalha | by restarting | 15:42 |
| caodepalha | this keyboard is not good so i cant use the question mark | 15:43 |
| caodepalha | how do i get back to the menu | 15:43 |
| xequence | after selecting network, you should get back to the menu or the command line | 15:44 |
| xequence | it has changed a bit between releases | 15:44 |
| caodepalha | before selecting network it just stays there | 15:45 |
| caodepalha | after | 15:46 |
