[01:39] Heya, has anyone made an ubuntustudio ascii logo for motd? [01:42] You could use the one from archey, though it isn't in the repos. [01:46] whats archey? [01:48] archlinux probably [01:50] No, archey is a basic sysinfo tool. [01:50] (Why would it be archlinux? Doesn't make sense in context.) [01:50] It outputs a color ascii Ubuntu logo. [01:53] Unit193, YOU said not in the repos. [01:54] archlinux is an operating system. [01:54] close enough context to say probably [01:55] not everyone here knows every single possible part of any OS, we are bound to make a mistake. [01:56] well if it's not in the repos, whats the best way to get it? andis it just an ubuntu logo or a studio logo? [01:58] Sadly, Ubuntu only. [01:58] I'm trying to figure out how to get a motd to display in the first place on my .bashrc [01:59] I know I can put the ascii art in /etc/motd.static [01:59] https://github.com/djmelik/archey and cat /etc/motd ? [01:59] then I can sudo ln -s /etc/motd.static /etc/motd [02:00] if [ -f /etc/motd ]; then cat /etc/motd;fi [02:01] nice! That's easy! [02:02] You can pad it or change color too. [02:03] do I do that in the file itself? using bash color codes? [02:07] YELLOW='\e[1;33m' and then you can call it in an echo -e statement. [02:08] http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/envrc example. [02:11] you mean call the motd using an echo command instead of cat? === HisaoNakai_ is now known as HisaoNakai [08:46] hi everyone! i just downloaded the distrho plugins. how do i add them/install to use in ardour? [08:47] caodepalha, distro plugins? what are you talking about? [08:48] cfhowlett, seems to be https://github.com/falkTX/DISTRHO/issues/8 [08:48] cub, thanks. looking ... [08:48] also http://manual.ardour.org/working-with-plugins/getting-plugins/ there's a link. Never heard of it either..:) [08:49] caodepalha, have you tried the instructions on http://manual.ardour.org/working-with-plugins/getting-plugins/ ? [08:49] caodepalha, best you talk to the package maintainer as this stuff is not in the normal distro channel. [08:49] After the plugins list there's a part on "How do I install plugins?" [08:50] * cub becomes a bit concerned when the page has the download links saying "donwload" [08:51] cub, yeah, I'd have to say that's a level 4 alarm... [08:52] maybe it's some 1337-speak I'm to old to understand. ;) [08:52] it's falkTX stuff so should be good. [08:53] thanks cub as always [08:54] caodepalha, if you have a standard Ubuntu Studio installation you need to install p7zip [08:55] already have it [08:55] :9 [08:55] :) [08:55] hmm no readme [08:57] caodepalha, I would use the LV2 folder and follow the instructions on the Ardour manual page above "LV2 plugins are folders/directories. They need to installed in either /usr/lib/lv2, /usr/local/lib/lv2 or a directory mentioned in your LV2_PATH environment variable." [08:58] I can't test on this machine myself though. [08:58] i'll check it [12:24] Hi! [12:24] I am installing 13.04 for the second time in my life on a brand new machine... [12:25] but this time, it's not going well at all.... [12:25] It wont detect my ethernet... [12:25] which i can live with for now... [12:25] but i want to put it on the SSD, not the HDD... [12:26] HDD is SDA, and SSD is SDB... [12:26] at the end of the installation i get fatal error: "couldn't install grub on SDA"... [12:27] my motherboard support both legacy and UEFI... [12:27] i'm using legacy.... [12:28] it's the second time i install 13.04, but i have done this so many times on so many different computers (don't get me wrong: i would never dare call myself an expert)... i just don't get it [12:29] could it be that i have to invert my drives? and put the SSD on the SATA1, so that it becomes /dev/sda ? [12:30] well.... yes... it seems to be like that.... installing on HDD just rendered freed from errors... [12:32] could there be some sort of hardcoded issue with the ubuntustudio live installer, forcing it to be on /dev/sda/ to succeed? [12:35] Sakrecoer, hang around for a while and I hope someone with more installation skills than me comes along. [12:35] thanks cub! :) [12:36] All my computers are too old to have such fancy stuff. ;) [12:36] * smartboyhw has never used SSD or UEFI so can't help too, sorry [12:36] tell me about it.... i worked my ass off a year and a half to get this super computer :D [12:37] oops sorry for that word ... [12:37] i'm just getting grey here... [12:37] hehe [12:37] I've installed on SSD without problems [12:38] UEFI is not an issue i can do without... and SDD shouldn't much different... the thing is, grub installs if i run the ubuntu 13.04 live installer... [12:38] this is on a ASUS netbook, that has two small ones [12:38] this is why i'm thinking there is an issue with the ubuntustudio installer, that makes it impossible to install the system on /dev/sdb/ [12:39] There's no problem installing it on any of the drives, generally [12:39] and you can also choose on which drive to install GRUB [12:39] the installer is not specific to Ubuntu Studio though [12:39] the installer is a program called ubiquity, and is the same one that all flavors use on their live systems [12:39] just with a few different settings and plugins involved [12:40] yeah... that my point zequence ... but if i try to put it on sdb it gives fatal error, also the possiblity to chose which drive to put grub on.... but the errors just repeats itself, regardless what i chose... [12:40] well, Kubuntu has their own version of the installer I think.. [12:40] Sakrecoer: I'd check out #ubuntu-installer [12:40] thanks! [12:40] or ask on general installation ubuntu forums [12:41] Sakrecoer: enter manual partitioning, the drop down to select where to install grub is there. [12:41] zequence: i have highlights on "ubiquity" ;-) [12:42] xnox: Are you a ubiquity developer? Yeah, I have a few alerts on myself on half of freenode basically :P [12:42] LOL [12:42] ans Sakrecoer if you get a solution, please come back and post the solution. So for the next one we might know. [12:43] * smartboyhw wonders what's on zequence's alert list [12:43] smartboyhw: Just lowlatency and ubuntu studio basically [12:43] zequence: yes, I am. I believe we also met in Switzerland?! =) [12:43] xnox: Oh, right. By the stone table :) [12:43] zequence: correct. [12:43] =) [12:43] * smartboyhw thinks of a stone table as spooky. [12:44] oh i will for sure! [12:44] especially the hole ethernet issue... it seems to be common, but the sollution is totaly disparessed all over... [12:44] * cub was hoping to see Hyuri do the same thing for his deleted Windows partition solution ... [12:50] so i'm trying manual partitioning... [12:50] and i'm getting unsure about the moint point.... [12:50] should it be just "/" ? [12:52] hmm.... i see that none of the previous installation have a mount point... [12:55] Sakrecoer: "/" is for the entire file system. You need at least that, and it would be best also to include a SWAP partition - roughly twice the size of your RAM [12:56] If you want, you can also keep a separate "/home" partition, so you can keep files there between installs [12:56] another solution is to create a paritition, and manually name the mount point to something like "/data" [12:57] "/data" is not a Unix/linux filesystem type, but it will be mounted in /data. Then just change ownership to your user in that folder, and you can reuse it between installs [12:58] Each time you make a new install, do not format that paritition. Only set it to use "Ext4" and manually write the mountpoint, for example "/data" [12:58] Only format it the first time, of course [12:58] ok... [12:59] i would really like to have my /home located on the HDD... in the scenario where my system is on the SSD... [13:00] but i'm in total doubt in front of the manual partitioner.... i have there /dev/sda with only freespace (this is the HDD), and then there is /dev/sdb, with /dev/sdb1 in ext4 with mountpoint / [13:01] and /dev/sdb5 swap with no mount point... [13:01] now... should grub go to /dev/sdb, or /dev/sdb1 ? [13:03] another question is: should the type for the mount point /home be logical or primal? [13:04] Sakrecoer: What do you have on sda? [13:05] Do you have a Windows boot loader on it? [13:05] If you do, that meanst GRUB will replace it [13:05] If you aren't worried about that, put GRUB onto /sda [13:05] If you want to keep the boot loader on /sda, put GRUB onto /sdb [13:06] If you put it onto /sdb1, that means it will be insider the partition only, not in the MBR [13:06] which means, you can't boot from it [13:06] not without using another boot loader [13:06] aah!! i get it zequence!! [13:06] You can set your BIOS to boot from either drive [13:07] So, if you want, you can have one boot loader on each [13:07] * Sakrecoer is considering asking "but what is windows?" :D [13:07] thanks a million! [13:07] it is much clearer now! [13:15] YESS!!!!!!!!!! grub installed on /dev/sdb !!!! [13:15] <3 [13:16] \o/ [13:16] now i need to solve the ethernet issue... [13:16] :) [13:16] Sakrecoer, yay [13:16] it seems to be recommended to use the partioner if you install on a machine with many operating drives... [13:16] :) [13:17] well, you either need a partitoner or not [13:17] if you have already made partitions, then, you can just specify that the system use/format the ones you want to use [13:18] yeah... not sure i understand... but before i went pretty straight forward, and grub just wouldn't settle in /dev/sdb .... even when i picked it as drive for everything, including /home [13:18] aah ok,... now i see holstein :) [13:18] if you dont want a "pretty straight forward" install, then it gets as complex as you want it to [13:19] grub is assumed these days.. from all the installers [13:19] at least AFAIK, it is [13:19] maybe i should say: " it seems to be recommended to chose to put the system on /dev/sda/ when doing the automatic formating... [13:19] !mini [13:19] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:19] ^^ you can use this, for that older "alternate cd" functionality.. which will install the OS and either not install grub, or ask where you want it to go [13:20] then, you can add whatever you like to it.. ubuntustudio packages or whatever [13:20] Sakrecoer: No, it should work putting it anyway. I often put it on something else than /sda, especially when installing to a usb stick [13:20] i think the rationale is, if you want something custom, you'll know how to get it.. [13:20] anywhere, I mean [13:21] i like to just put grub on the USB stick its self if im doing a USB stick install [13:21] hmm... it worked, but now i have a beutyfull terminal... no sight of desktop... [13:21] Sakrecoer: what did what? [13:21] The USB stick is usually not /sda, which is why you need to specify where GRUB goes specifically [13:21] and putting it on sdb or sdc works just as well [13:21] holstein it looks like the server version... [13:21] :/ [13:22] Sakrecoer: in what way *secifically* [13:22] specifically* [13:22] ah.. i gotta run.. [13:23] i just get pushed into terminal... no desktop, no "interface" [13:23] on boot... [13:23] sounds like you have installed something without X.. or have no graphics card support [13:23] Sakrecoer: i assure you, there *is* a desktop :) [13:23] Sakrecoer: You are sure this is Ubuntu Studio? [13:23] Sakrecoer: did you see it from the live CD? [13:23] Sakrecoer: did you get to a desktop from the live installer disc? [13:23] my bad... it seems i was booting from something else... probably need to go look at what i have done in the bios... [13:24] yes... its ubuntustudio... 13.04 . [13:25] ubuntustudio is the hole reason behind me getting into this linux thing in the first place :D [13:25] it works great!! [13:26] i just had to reverse my boot order :D [13:26] home is on HDD, and system is on SSD :) [13:26] WITH a desktop heheh [13:29] thank you so much guys, girls and robots! :) i have learned alot from this! [13:29] Sakrecoer: Hope you have fun with it :) [13:30] oh i will!!! [13:31] but first i need to understand how to "claim" my network device... [13:40] well..... that was fun while it lasted.... now i got "error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found. [13:40] and "grub rescue>" waiting for me to do something i might regret... HAHAH [13:43] anyways.... i'm gonna go cry a little river over some food now... thanks a million for your helping hands! [13:52] ok i didnt... [13:52] its insane.. started all over... it works fine on first boot... [13:53] then i'm back in the desktop free version... [13:53] and yeah.. i changed the boot order to the adequate one... [13:53] Sakrecoer, do you get a ubuntu terminal? [13:54] yes... [13:54] but now... at thirs boot... i got back to desktop... [13:54] can you log in there? And perhaps do 'startx'? [13:54] Aha so it intermittent? :/ [13:54] yes random.... [13:54] crap [13:54] thinking my machine might be not good :( [13:54] i will try startx next it happens.. [13:56] i can login... terminal asks me for user and pass.. but go figure... 5th reboot and all fine.... [13:56] sorry for bugging your mind with mine.... :/ now i will eat. [13:56] Thanks again! [13:56] good luck, I hope you get it solved. [13:57] thanks!!! [13:57] btw i really recommend SSD for system: the speed of start up is just insane! [15:40] Hey guys! I've downloaded the 13.04 32-bit .iso image two times now, via torrent, and my md5sum has both times ended up being "9ef83c65f489ffd534b8bf95d4a652f0 ubuntustudio-13.04-dvd-i386.iso" [15:40] Anything I should know here, because the md5 on ubuntustudio.org is "6e7db5ffdb954a05545940a7bc18d00d" [15:42] sirriffsalot: oh? [15:42] smartboyhw: yes :( [15:43] smartboyhw: http://ubuntustudio.org/download/ > md5-link [15:43] sirriffsalot: hmm you have a corrupted download [15:43] smartboyhw: I know that -.- [15:44] smartboyhw: But I've downloaded it twice and I get the same erronious checksum! :( [15:44] sirriffsalot: Try not to use torrent this time [15:44] I am.. takes longer :( [15:44] erroneous * [15:44] try zsync [15:44] And zsync:) [15:44] What is that? [15:45] sirriffsalot: zsync is a tool that downloads AND checks the sum for you:P [15:45] zsync will only download parts that are not right and it will also check you checksum for you [15:45] OvenWerks, smartboyhw aha.. [15:46] you will have to install zsync ( sudo apt-get install zsync ) [15:46] Did so just now [15:47] I don't have the link you need off the top of my head though [15:47] I am not in a boot where I have all my links :) [15:48] Why "sudo apt-get install zsync -y" anyway? [15:48] sirriffsalot: -y will skip the step of you confirming the installation [15:48] Ah, haha [15:48] the -y should not be needed really. [15:48] How do I use this program...? Can't work it out [15:49] in the same directory as your downloaded ISO run zsync url_of_ISO.zsync [15:50] Ah, found out :) [15:52] This was pretty useful.. how come it isn't more apparent to people unless I come here with the issue I have? [15:53] Most people aren't downloading a new ISO every day [15:53] It is great for keeping up with the daily builds [15:53] Perhaps a little * under the checksums at least, in case they fail repeatedly [15:55] We could do that in a wiki somewhere, but we don't have access to the download page itself. [15:55] (if it is the one I am thinking of) [15:56] Uhm, what the hell.. I just began that zsync download a few minutes ago in a new directory.. [15:56] It's already downloaded 2.6 GB?? [15:56] sirriffsalot, that's your old one, probably:P (It does sync the contents for you if you have a old ISO) [15:56] Lol [15:57] You're right [15:57] 6e7db5ffdb954a05545940a7bc18d00d [15:57] sirriffsalot, yeah, that. [15:57] Well, I'm satisfied, putting it to a stick :) [15:57] 16gb 3.0 USB-stick :D:D [15:58] sirriffsalot: how fast is it to write to? [15:58] 3.0 [15:58] Oh [15:58] Specifics, lol [15:58] I found that with my USB sticks the USB IF was not the bottleneck [15:59] 50 MB/s read, 20 MB/s write [15:59] My USB drive was much faster for writes than the usb stick. [15:59] That is much better. [15:59] Your usb drive being? [15:59] An old 40G out of a lap top [16:00] Not even SATA [16:00] just IDE [16:01] Curious [16:02] Both are USB 2.0, but like I say the USB IF is obviously not the limiting factor [16:02] I can run my system off the USB drive, but the USB stick is painfully slow... unusable [16:04] OvenWerks: what usb-stick is it? === HisaoNakai_ is now known as HisaoNakai [19:40] Does anybody here use a Blue Snowball (or other usb mics/soundcards) with JACK? I can't seem to get mine to play nice with anything but Audacity and I would like more options. [19:42] thurstylark: if it works with pulse it should work with jack [19:42] which distro are you using? [19:43] (and version) [19:43] Stock Ubuntu 13.04 with Ardour and it's dependencies. [19:43] (keepin it light as i can) [19:44] Do you think I need to install the ubuntustudio-audio (or whatever it's called) package to get more control over my sound cards? [19:44] is jack installed RT? [19:45] Hmm. i don't remember. is there a simple way to check that? [19:45] ls /etc/security/limits.d/ should show audio.conf [19:46] yup. [19:46] it does [19:46] have you put yourself in the audio group? [19:47] hmm... apparently not. [19:48] sudo usermod -a -G audio [19:49] can I use the username instead of userid? [19:50] the user at the prompt [19:50] or, how do I find my userid? [19:51] echo $USER [19:51] Cool [19:51] Got it. [19:51] So, what all should that change, as far as my capabilities? [19:51] jack should run [19:52] Are you using qjackctl to start jack? [19:52] (recomened) [19:52] You may have to stop any running jacks [19:53] killall -9 jack [19:53] I think [19:53] may have to do one for jackd and one for jackdbus [19:54] Yeah, I use it to test jack config, but I usually let Ardour start jack for me when I want to use it [19:54] that works too, if that interface is easier for you [19:54] qjackctl has a logs window for debugging [19:55] Does Ardour care whether it starts jack or I do? [19:55] not at all. [19:55] * thurstylark feels like i should know this by now... [19:55] cool [19:56] I think the ardour devs would prefer jack to be already running [19:56] makes sense. [19:57] Something to note, some audio IFs will only start at 48k, not 44.1k. others are opposite. [19:57] however 48K is the standard everywhere but CDs [19:58] Pulse will have figured that out on it's own, not jack [19:58] Yeah, I think the snowball is locked at 44.1k... [19:58] The logs should tell you if jack failed to set rate [19:59] Cool. [20:00] That tells me what I need to know about it. [20:00] I don't have it with me to test right now, but I had some time on my hands [20:00] Thanks for the help! [20:01] If your USB audio IF siglently fails to set rate, then the sound will have crackles in it. [20:01] no prob [22:06] oal [22:06] hello [22:06] my
