XRS1volume indicator does not work in 13.10 Beta 1?01:51
jcbv1hi guys02:00
jcbv1whats up02:00
jcbv1i need some help with groups02:00
XRS1what are you trying to do?02:00
=== nv_ is now known as XRS1
iUnifyI am looking for a way to organize my applications in Ubuntu.  I have all of the Studio apps for example - and I am very happy with the way that Studio organizes them... namely in an approiately named folder with the link to each app... sub folders if neccessary... secondly with the fact that menu is right at the top of the screen where the Ubuntu menu is.... so, I would like VERY much to find a way to do something of this nature03:19
iUnifyUbuntu menu than I would like to at least be able to have an application launcher I can create folders in and sub folders with shortcuts to the apps.  Like Mac has.... whatever, just somthing.  Any help!?  :D03:20
XRS1ubuntu studio uses the menu editor called alacarte (in the settings menu as Main Menu)03:23
iUnifyI had alacarte03:23
iUnifyit didnt seem to work.  I added items but they never showed03:24
XRS1i've never done any menu editing beyond that, myself03:24
XRS1there were some bugs that have sence been worked out03:24
iUnifyah.  YEah I don't want to hav to search it, I wanna be able to search THROUGH it03:24
XRS1like Unity?03:25
XRS1or KDE?03:25
XRS1a search in the menu03:25
iUnifyYes! Like studio...03:25
iUnifyLike Windows...03:26
iUnifyLike Mac... whatever03:26
iUnifyI want to be able to search for all the different apps like that, for example in Studio the Audio Production tools, I can' t find what I want otherwise.03:26
iUnifyKnow what I mean?03:26
XRS1im seeing an app called Whisker Menu for xfce03:26
XRS1replaces the current menu03:26
XRS1http://www.webupd8.org/2013/07/whisker-menu-fast-application-launcher.html03:27
XRS1looks like it doesnt work anymore though unless you compile from source  :(03:28
iUnifyYeah but I don't have xfce, I'm in Ubuntu03:28
iUnifyso thats GNOME, right?03:28
iUnifyI'm shocked its not a thing.... people have all their apps memorized?03:29
XRS1there is the application finder which you can bring up with Alt+F2, (or you can remap this to whatever keyboard command)03:29
wilee-nileeXRS1, The PPA not have a version for the release you are running?03:29
XRS1im just reading old news from july :P03:30
wilee-nileeXRS1, I see precise to saucy in the PPA03:31
XRS1well there ya go03:31
iUnifyHmm... I don't know, Alt+F2 is the same, you have to KNOW what you are searching for.03:32
XRS1http://gottcode.org/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/03:32
iUnifyI like to see an organized list of what I have to open it.03:32
iUnifyXfce, not GNOME, right?  Not for Ubuntu.03:32
iUnify?03:32
XRS1it says its for xfce which is what ubuntu studio uses03:33
iUnifyAh yea, I am not using Studio03:33
iUnifyI am using Ubuntu.... with all of the studio apps.03:33
iUnifyTrying to organize them as done IN studio03:33
XRS1well try out whisker menu03:34
iUnifyOr with a similar idea... like Windows with folders or Mac with the app launcher at the bottom of the screen.03:34
iUnifyI don't have XFCE, I have GNOME, Ubuntu- not Studio.03:34
wilee-nileeXRS1, YOu just want to be aware of ppa-purge if you have problems03:34
wilee-nilee!ppa-purge03:34
ubottuTo disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html03:34
XRS1have you asked in #ubuntu? i've never like gnome03:36
iUnifyI have, I have... no luck unfortunately.03:37
iUnifyI like xfce also but aspects of GNOME as well, but anyway, humph... I dont know what to do03:37
XRS1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Do03:40
XRS1looks promising03:40
iUnifyHey Guys.... you know the Ubuntu Search...? For example, when I click the "Applications" tab... it gives me results in 3 fields: Recently Used, Installed and Available For Download... can I consolidate that to just Installed? I dont want to see ALL the other results and have separate categories.... just keep it simple.04:03
iUnifySorry to ask here - I know Studio is xfce not GOME - but I took a shot, no replies in #ubuntu.04:04
XRS1well there are also plenty of other rooms for linux with a much broader scope of support than this one04:08
sirriffsalotI'm having curious x-run sounds at the exact same times in a final session export, and I can't work out what's doing it, because when I play it in ardour itself, it sounds flawless.. Any ideas?16:36

=== wiler-nilee is now known as wilee-nilee
OvenWerkswilee-nilee: when the guy how was talking shows up again, I have had to and do family stuff19:08
OvenWerksplease tell him19:09
wilee-nileeNo prob19:09
ubuntu-studio_prq19:19
ubuntu-studio_pri dont see any another items on partitioning tab19:20
wilee-nileeOvenWerks wanted you to know they had to attend to family stuff19:21
ubuntu-studio_prtnx19:22
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: what items are you expecting?19:23
ubuntu-studio_pranybody may know about troubles with drive on partitioning tab at installing ubuntu studio?19:23
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: what troubles are you having?19:24
holsteinif the installer isnt working out for you, you can load the live CD and use gparted.. and make whatever you need manually19:24
ubuntu-studio_pri am installing ubuntu studio 12-04-3 on acer aspire 554119:24
ubuntu-studio_prand on partitioning tab i dont select any drives/slices19:25
ubuntu-studio_prok i deed it, but installer dont  see it19:25
ubuntu-studio_pri doo clear slices from drive and installer it dont see19:26
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: if the drive is bad, the installer wont "fix" it19:26
ubuntu-studio_pr*do19:26
ubuntu-studio_prdrive good19:26
holsteinwhat would i do? run the smart tests from a live CD.. some kind of diagnostic tests19:26
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: how are you determining "drive good"?19:27
ubuntu-studio_prall hdd and mem tests passed19:27
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: what hard drive test?19:27
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: the test im referring to would take over an hour, and the live CD would have to be able to see it19:27
ubuntu-studio_prmhdd and self tests19:28
holsteinis that the case? you can see? and mount the drive from the live CD? if so, make your partitions19:28
ubuntu-studio_prand smart answers it good19:28
ubuntu-studio_pryes i cat mount it with gparted partitioning it transfer files folders19:29
ubuntu-studio_pr*i can19:29
ubuntu-studio_pryes i can mount it with gparted partitioning it transfer files folders19:29
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: then, make you partitions, and see if the installer can see them19:29
ubuntu-studio_prno it cannot see them19:29
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: them what?19:30
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: the ext2/3/4 partition you make?19:30
ubuntu-studio_pryes19:30
ubuntu-studio_prand ntfs19:30
holsteinthere is nothing about ubuntu, ubuntustudio, or linux preventing you from seeing your hard drive from the installer19:30
holsteinwhat would i do? try an ubuntu 12.04 installer.. or *any* other live installer19:30
holsteinrule out that the ubuntustudio installer is the issue19:31
ubuntu-studio_pri try kubuntu 12/0419:32
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: this is the support channel for #ubuntustudio19:32
ubuntu-studio_prthese simple story19:32
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: you might try #kubuntu or main #ubuntu19:32
holsteintry our installer, or the main ubuntu installer19:32
ubuntu-studio_prholstein sorry for my bad english? but i try any of yo writed dists and i see about disk dont seems in installer19:34
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: not sure where to send you19:34
holsteini know, i would try the main normal ubuntu installer19:34
ubuntu-studio_prbut fkn win installs momentally19:34
holsteini would do that for the support purposes19:34
holsteinthere is, as i said, nothing about ubuntu that is preventing the hard drive from being installed19:35
holsteinif you have something in the system that is locking it, it will be locked19:35
holstein!uefi19:35
ubottuUEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI19:35
holstein^for example19:35
holsteini would get the main normal ubuntu 13.04 live CD, and see if the installer there "sees" the drive.. then, i would report to the larger ubuntu community what is going on19:35
ubuntu-studio_prmy mb dont have uefi19:36
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: thats why i said "for example"19:36
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: im not meaning to imply that you have, or should have uefi, nor that that is the cause.. but, i can assure you, our installer is not doing anything to prevent (at least intentionally) the use of your hard drive19:36
ubuntu-studio_pri need studio in latest LTS19:36
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: consider it a troubleshooting step then19:37
holstein!md519:37
ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows19:37
holsteinalso, test your sum19:37
holsteinyou can try the main normal ubuntu installer for 12.04.. if that fails, then you can report to the larger ubuntu community19:39
ubuntu-studio_prmd5 is good, currently i am kill any systems on hdd and cannot make any tests from win or another system, i have only this live dvd ((19:39
holsteinhttp://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop19:40
holstein^^ i would get the 12.04 desktop, normal, vanilla ubuntu19:41
holsteinif the intaller works, use it19:41
holsteinyou can add what you want from the ubuntustudio packages19:41
holsteinif it doesnt work, then, you'll have a *much* larger community of relevant support19:41
holsteinif you have another hard drive handy, you can put that in.. or try to install to USB19:42
ubuntu-studio_pri can't write it my cd/dvd is busy with live dvd ubuntustudio? and i havent working flashdrive, only qnap drive in my home network19:42
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: i would examine that then.. how you are doing that19:42
holsteinubuntu-studio_pr: that could be causing the issue you are experiencing19:43
iUnifyHey guys, I record with Audacity (know its not what I should use - but, for the moment...) and just reinstalled Ubuntu... I am always able to just hit "R" to record and go.... well, now when I start fresh I can just hit "R" and go... buuuut, when I start as I am now with a drum track I've made and hit20:18
iUnify"R" I just get a new track with what I presume is a milisecond of recording.  Can't get it to just go for me.20:18
iUnifyANyone??? crapola....20:23
