inahdhey all, i have a bit of a cross over question... using AVlinux03:29
inahdwhy can't i get this darn sound to come through my speakers!03:30
holsteininahd: you can try.. avlinux is not quite the same, though all the apps are similar03:30
inahdi am not sure what happened, last time i booted up everything worked fine (the story of my linux life)03:31
holsteininahd: what is going on?03:31
inahdim not really sure :(03:32
holsteininahd: you hit the power button.. go from there03:32
inahdmudita24 controller gives no readings03:32
holsteinblack screen? user one log? bad resolution? x crashes?03:32
holsteinkernel panic?03:32
holsteininahd: first thing, if you are updating AVlinux, thats the problem03:33
holsteininahd: its not meant to be updated03:33
inahdno its not that03:33
holsteinif you want newer stuff, you'll have to use something like ubuntustudio 13.0403:33
inahdjust some weird audio thing03:33
holsteinotherwise, you'll need to go to AVlinux support and be *very* detailed03:33
inahdyeah...03:34
inahdsigh03:34
holsteinsince its basically a dead project, if its not meeting your needs, you should try ubuntustudio03:34
holsteintry it live03:34
holsteinotherwise, test as another user.. try the AVlinux CD live to see that its not a hardware problem03:34
inahdthis ALWAYS happens, i have been solving the same simple problems over and over for years now it seems03:34
holsteininahd: eh03:34
inahd:D03:35
holsteininahd: you'll figure it out..03:35
holsteininahd: you dont need to install AVlinux03:35
holsteinif you feel you are breaking it, just run it live03:35
inahdi just never seem to learn from what i learn03:35
holstein?03:36
holsteinhave you tried running it live?03:36
holsteinyou could earn from that...03:36
holsteinlearn*03:36
inahdi am gonna try from another account, to see if its a settings thing03:36
inahdthat is a good idea03:36
holstein"good" is a matter of opinion and use case.. these things help you learn factually what is going on03:37
inahdyes that is where i often fall short03:37
holsteinwell, you dont *ever* fall short on facts..03:37
inahdend up trying so many things, that by the time i solve the problem i forget what did it03:38
holsteintry "so many things" from a live CD03:38
holsteindual boot.. dont try things *at *all* on your production machine03:38
inahdhehe, will that slow it down... by running it live?03:39
holsteinhave a different partition where you install testing or playing around installs03:39
holsteininahd: try it, friend03:39
inahdvery smart also03:39
holsteini wouldnt suggest anything that will not work03:39
holsteinthere is no reason to install AVLinux, as i said03:39
holsteinit'll run just fine live, and do all the things you want to do03:39
inahdokay03:39
holsteinbut, if you want to "mess around", run 2 installs..03:39
holsteinOR, mirror the one you have *before* breaking it03:40
holsteinthink of everything you put your admin password in for as potentially breaking your production machine03:40
holsteinfor me, that is $$ sometimes.. and, this has nothing to do with linux, specifically.. i have helped many windows and mac users with similar issues03:41
inahdit makes good sense03:41
holstein"i installed something and now i cant record". or whatever.. happens on *any* os03:41
holsteinAVlinux is meant to be an appliance.. ubuntustudio is meant more as a typical desktop operating system03:41
inahdi just love the way avlinux is so full of stuff03:42
holsteinneither is "better".. but if you want to mess with AV a lot, you might prefer something like ubuntu where you can upgrade and get more current libs03:42
holsteininahd: most of the "stuff" is in most distro repos03:42
inahdhmmm03:42
inahdi guess i should give it another try03:43
inahdright now i dual boot avlinux and mint03:43
holsteinyou should do what works for you..03:43
holstein!mint03:43
ubottuLinux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org03:43
holstein*all* our packages and metapackages are available on mint03:44
inahdi see03:44
inahdso i will keep playing around with all this, hopefully get it to work again03:45
holsteininahd: we have a live CD as well03:46
inahdtrue, i will probably grab it03:46
holsteini mean, this is one of the more open ubuntu support channels, because i want to try and cultivate community, but you really should have our software if you want to seek support here03:48
inahdthat is fair03:48
holstein:)03:48
holsteinand, im not saying you should or must install it, but you can use it to troubleshoot...03:49
inahdi was saying before, the initial experience with ubuntustudio sort of turned me off... mostly cause i saw a bunch of prices in synaptic03:50
inahdtalking to guys on here i got a bit more understanding about that, and i have meant to try installing it again03:51
holsteininahd: no03:51
holsteininahd: you saw prices for commercial software listed in the software center03:51
inahdyeah03:51
holsteinwhich, you can ignore, or not use03:51
inahdi had never seen that before03:51
holsteinOR, uninstall03:51
holsteininahd: you dont have to buy the03:52
holsteinthem*03:52
inahdright03:52
holsteininahd: think of it this way.. if you had software to sell, you could sell it there.. but not in AVlinux.. or most other linux distros03:52
holsteinnot that im saying its "good" or "better".. just again, stating facts03:52
inahdand i mean its an ubuntu thing in general i imagine03:53
holsteininahd: its a cannonical thin03:53
holsteinthing*03:53
holsteinthey, at some point, would like some of the money back, i think03:53
holsteinagain, dont use it if you dont want to03:53
inahdour love and gratitude aren't enough?03:53
holsteinwe had just pulled the software center in, as well03:54
holsteininahd: for ubuntu, and the ubuntu community, that is plenty :)03:54
inahdhmmm03:54
inahdhow does canonical differ from the ubuntu community?03:54
holsteininahd: cannonical is a company... they pay for some development and developer salaries.. and hosting.. etc.. other bills03:55
holsteinubuntu is a community of people, like me. and you.03:55
inahdthats pretty interesting really03:56
holsteinand again, just facts :)03:56
inahdso, canonical funded the development of ubuntu then?03:56
holsteininahd: funds... pays salaries.. etc03:57
inahdmakes one wonder, where they came from.03:58
inahdseems like a very long term business strategy03:58
inahdof course, maybe i am just paranoid04:03
holsteinwhy? the code is still *all* open04:03
inahdits true, i guess it was all like 'ubuntu' and everyone holding hands and stuff... and then slowly canonical and all this stuff for sale...04:06
inahdi mean, was that how red hat did it?04:07
inahdwill ubuntu itself eventually become an operating system that must be purchased?04:09
wilee-nilee doubt it it in its installed state it is open source04:13
holsteininahd: ubuntu is a community.. the os can be bought, sold, or purchased many ways.. including by you04:18
holsteininahd: the thing you are referencing is a way for software to be sold to ubuntu customers.. i use ubuntu, and dont use the software center04:19
inahdhmmmm, but can the community (or its coding) be co-opted by some commercial venture such as canonical?04:22
inahdi am rather ignorant of these sorts of things, yet very interested.04:24
wilee-nileeinahd, canonical provides server support at a cost, not sure of all its programs but you can pay for regular support as well, check the site if your really interested.04:27
inahdok... i guess if ubuntu becomes an OS that you have to pay for, its not really a big deal...04:28
inahdit did seem to be a somewhat cohesive force in making linux available to the public though04:29
holsteininahd: the licenses are the licenses..04:32
holsteincode can be done with whatever the licenses allow04:32
holsteini feel like im defending a model that im not really supporting, or care much about, personally, either way04:32
holsteinbut.. this is a commercial company trying something.. mixing open and commercial04:33
holsteinwhy? so they can make money, potentially04:33
holsteinnot usuing ubuntu because there is commercial software in the software center is a bit like not shopping at a grocery store becuase they sell cigarettes04:33
holsteinyou may smoke or not, but the fact is, if not one bought cigarettes there, they wouldnt sell them04:34
inahdlicenses in this case being GPL?04:34
holsteininahd: the licenses, as i said, are what they are.. open, if they are to be released with ubuntu04:34
holsteininahd: that information is public knowlege.. and, to be devils advocate.. not *all* of the software in AVlinux is like that04:35
holsteinyou have proprietary code that is just included, to get you to buy it04:35
inahdhehe yeah i noted that about AVlinux04:36
holsteindemo versions of plugins bundled that could be doing literally anything, since they are not open.. and they are limited, and designed to have you demo them, and purchase them04:36
wilee-nileefor me a OS is a OS, some I had to pay for some not I use what works for me, and follow the law.04:36
holsteininahd: is that bad? im not saying it is.. im just drawing a factual correlation04:36
holsteinthat is the way the AVlinux dev attempted to make money.. bundling closed source demo apps.. this is the way ubuntu did it.. a store04:37
holsteini personally dont use the ubuntu software center.. and if folks dont use it, or buy things from it, then the model will fail04:37
inahdi think personally i felt less affronted by the way AVlinux did it04:37
holsteininahd: neither are an affront to you, at all04:38
holsteininahd: they are commercial attempts to make money that have little to do with you at all04:38
holsteininahd: ubuntu *cant* include that code.. since its not open04:38
holsteinits all open, and public.. if you want to research04:39
inahdright, no that makes sense04:39
holsteinagain, not trying to convince you of anything.. ubuntustudio sells its self04:39
holsteinyou either need/want it, or dont..04:40
holsteinanyways.. enjoy! im out for the night..04:40
inahdcool04:40
inahdappreciate your time04:40
holsteininahd: anytime!04:40
inahdhey all :)15:50
smartboyhwinahd, hello!15:50
inahdjust installed some of the ubuntustudio packages on mint.. now my computer has become puny and weak15:51
inahd:(15:51
inahdseems to freeze if i stop paying attention to it15:53
inahdi will not make the obvious parallel15:53
smartboyhwinahd, why?15:53
smartboyhwWell, first of all Ubuntu Studio is not optimized for Mint, but it should still work15:53
inahdwhy wil i not make the obvious parallel to my relationship?15:54
smartboyhwinahd, what parallel!?15:55
inahdi tried restoring the default settings, whatever that means...16:01
smartboyhw?16:03
inahdin this case, that my girlfriend freezes if i stop paying her attention16:04
inahdi have become a bitter and loathing person... apparently16:04
smartboyhwinahd, OK, this channel is NOT for discussions about relationships16:05
smartboyhw!ot | inahd16:05
ubottuinahd: #ubuntustudio is the official Ubuntu Studio support channel and #ubuntu-offtopic is for general chatter. Welcome!16:05
smartboyhwGeneral chatter -> #ubuntu-offtopic16:05
inahdubottu: yessir!16:10
inahdi have been botted...16:13
inahdbut actually i am seeking assistance with ubuntustudio packages and my system crashing after installing them16:14
smartboyhwinahd, where does it crash?16:16
inahdseems to have crashed twice now, after i messed with some audio editing stuff and had the browser open.16:18
inahdwasn't at the computer using it when it happened... seems glitchy16:19
inahdi am afraid to stop using the computer again, in case it stops working :P16:21

sirriffsalotHow would I go about writing a script that moves all my .ogg files from desktop to a specific device (an external hard-disk), and another to move it back to the desktop on another computer?23:53
