[14:20] <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
[14:30] <cub> mossyfunk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/HowTos
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <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
[14:35] <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 =)
[14:38] <caodepalha> can anyone help me_
[14:40] <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
[14:41] <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_
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <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_
[14:45] <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
[14:46] <caodepalha> i write my username as i have it on the log in screen with capitals and space_
[14:47] <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
[14:48] <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
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <caodepalha> biggest dummie
[14:50] <caodepalha> im sorry
[14:50] <xequence> replace <username> with your username in the next command
[14:51] <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
[14:52] <xequence> to exit, write: exit
[14:58] <caodepalha> im in network mode
[15:00] <caodepalha> after enabeling network i must restart_
[15:13] <caodepalha> how do i start with network
[15:22] <xequence> caodepalha: Just network in the menu
[15:22] <xequence> I'll be back
[15:33] <caodepalha> now i cant even get to the recovery menu
[15:36] <caodepalha> when i start the desktop and press f11 it sends me to the login panel
[15:38] <xequence> caodepalha: shift is what gets you to the GRUB menu
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <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
[15:41] <caodepalha> loading
[15:41] <caodepalha> should i get any message when its finnished
[15:42] <xequence> You should get back to the menu
[15:42] <caodepalha> by restarting
[15:43] <caodepalha> this keyboard is not good so i cant use the question mark
[15:43] <caodepalha> how do i get back to the menu
[15:44] <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
[15:45] <caodepalha> before selecting network it just stays there
[15:46] <caodepalha> after
[15:56] <caodepalha> still there
