[04:00] <JoeGibken> Any help?
[04:18] <XRS1> whats the issue?
[04:27] <JoeGibken> XRS1: JoeGibken> Hi! I've been trying to install Ubuntu Studio into the laptop of my fiance, but I'm wondering why it does not detect Wifi nor LAN cable. My fiance's laptop is Lenovo G480 - http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/essential/g-series/g480/index.html#techspecs
[04:28] <JoeGibken> Basically, I'm trying to install UbuntuStudio
[04:28] <JoeGibken> But after I gparted the partitions
[04:28] <JoeGibken> There is no internet
[04:28] <JoeGibken> I tried attaching cable internet
[04:28] <JoeGibken> But it does not detect
[04:28] <JoeGibken> Not this computer I'm responding but my fiance's LENOVO G480
[04:29] <JoeGibken> I checked it's a Broadcom problem
[04:29] <JoeGibken> But I have no idea why that I use LAN internet, it still does not get any internet
[04:29] <JoeGibken> So I can't really install it fully without recent updates
[04:29] <JoeGibken> I'm just assuming Ubuntu Studio has a different kernel?
[05:41] <XRS1> yes it uses a low latency kernel but that it's self shouldnt be affecting compatability
[06:09] <XRS1> lspci will show you what chipset the lan is using
[06:10] <XRS1> you can also ask in #xubuntu
[09:38] <johey> If my kernel hangs at boot when using lowlatency, how can I start tracking the problem down? Using Ubuntu 13.04 with official lowlatency kernel package.
[09:39] <johey> If started without quiet and splash kernel parameters, it just says "Loading Linux 3.8.0-31-lowlatency ..." then hangs at the purple screen.
[09:39] <johey> You can see a cursor or underscore at the line below, but it won't react on any keypress.
[09:39] <johey> Using a ThinkPad X1 Carbon, amd64 kernel.
[10:05] <juan_> hi! :)
[10:06] <juan_> could somebody help me?
[10:07] <juan_> I have connected: Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0d8c:000e C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter (Planet UP-100, Genius G-Talk)
[10:08] <juan_> if I type dmesg is properly connected and loaded (I think)
[10:10] <juan_> the problem is
[10:10] <juan_> if I connect the guitar to my computer mic in, rakarrack get the guitar
[10:11] <juan_> but if I connect the guitar to the device previously mentioned, rakarrack does not get the guitar
[10:42] <XRS1> you can alwso ask in #opensourcemusicians
[10:43] <juan_> thanks XRS1 :)
[10:44] <johey> juan_: I am not an expert in the area, but rakarrack is connected to jack, isn't it? If so, have you patched it correctly in qjackctl?
[10:46] <johey> juan_: If not using jack, please take a look at sound device control. Right click on the volume applet and select Sound Settings, then in the Applications tab you should be able to select which sound interface to use for rakarrack.
[10:47] <juan_> you mean I should config rakarrak well, is not it?
[10:47] <juan_> as far as I know, yeah, rakarrak is connected to qjack
[10:48] <johey> juan_: But as I said, I'm no expert. This is just based on general knowledge of how things use to be. :)
[10:48] <juan_> thanks
[10:48] <johey> juan_: Ok, jack. Do you use qjackctl to configure jack?
[10:48] <juan_> now I am setting up my USB sound card as a default card
[10:49] <juan_> yes, I do
[10:49] <juan_> but I do not know how to choose the sound card
[10:50] <johey> juan_: In qjackctl you click Setup, then under Settings tab you set the USB card in the Interface.
[10:50] <johey> (The little > arrow to the right of the dropdown box is more verbosal than the dropdown box itself)
[10:51] <johey> Then click Ok and click the start button in the main window to start the jack daemon with this configuration.
[10:52] <johey> After that, ensure rakarrack is connected to jack. You might need to restart it.
[10:52] <juan_> yes, it is
[10:53] <juan_> when I plug the guitar to the computer in, it works
[10:53] <juan_> my problem is that It does not work with my usb sound card
[10:53] <johey> Are you sure rakarrack is using jack?
[10:54] <juan_> yes i do
[10:54] <juan_> yes I am
[10:54] <johey> In qjackctl, please click Connect.
[10:54] <juan_> yeah, I should restart
[10:54] <juan_> then I wil do :)
[10:54] <juan_> see you later
[10:54] <juan_> and many thnks
[10:54] <johey> I think you are not many clicks away from success. :)
[10:58] <juan_> I am here again johey :)
[10:59] <johey> I think you are not many clicks away from success. :)
[10:59] <juan_> I do no think so
[10:59] <juan_> OSS4 error: The device file is missing from /dev. Perhaps you have not installed and started Open Sound System yet.
[11:00] <johey> Says who?
[11:00] <johey> Rakarrack?
[11:00] <johey> Then it sounds like it is trying to use OSS instead of jack.
[11:02] <juan_> I have opened qjackctl (but is not started)
[11:02] <juan_> and I get this error when I tried to play a sond
[11:02] <juan_> song
[11:02] <johey> With what application?
[11:03] <johey> This has nothing to do with the rakarrack issue, right?
[11:04] <johey> Either you have to install OSS4 libs (I know nothing about it) or if possible, configure the player to use ALSA, pulseaudio (which might not be installed in ubuntustudio?) or jack.
[11:06] <juan_> the application is audacious
[11:06] <johey> The fanstastic world of GNU/Linux offers you countless number of audio servers, neither compatible with another. :)
[11:08] <juan_> ok
[11:08] <juan_> I removed pulseaudio
[11:08] <juan_> because I had a lot of servers
[11:09] <juan_> but I am going to install it again
[11:09] <johey> Maybe you should leave it uninstalled if you use your machine for recording... There might be issues.
[11:09] <johey> I don't know. I have mixed feelings over pulseaudio.
[11:11] <johey> It is good at mixing different audio sources for normal use, but in the past I had issues when using it together with jack. Maybe those things have been resorted.
[11:12] <juan_> yeah, me too
[11:12] <juan_> it is easy for sound configuration
[11:12] <juan_> but a lot of problems too
[11:13] <johey> But if you uninstall pulseaudio, you might need to configure your audio applications.
[11:15] <juan_> maybe it does not work because it
[11:15] <juan_> because I uninstalled pulseaudio
[11:15] <juan_> I do not know
[11:15] <juan_> I leave it
[11:15] <juan_> I will try to keep the system with the same configuration
[11:16] <juan_> I do not want to miss the audio
[11:16] <juan_> but I would like to have audio in my computer and no problems when I connect the guitar
[11:16] <juan_> but I am too noob
[11:17] <johey> When it comes to the guitar, it is likely just about patching it right with jack.
[11:18] <johey> But what is interesting is that it works with the internal interface despite the fact that you set up jack using the usb card.
[11:18] <johey> Either rakarrack is configured not to use jack or jack is wrongly setup.
[11:20] <johey> Omg. Here I'm sitting trying to tell you what to do, and I'm not even able to get my things working. Why you even listen to me? :P
[11:33] <juan_> I agree with the things that you say
[11:34] <juan_> the main problem was jack, that it does not get my usb sound card
[11:34] <juan_> now I am trying to recover the computer audio because I lost it
[11:34] <juan_> I must reboot
[11:44] <juan_> hi again
[11:44] <juan_> I have solved my sound problem
[11:44] <juan_> but now I have another question
[11:44] <juan_> I have just found a Sony Sing Star adapter
[11:45] <juan_> the computer recognizes it well
[11:45] <juan_> but I do not know if I could improve the quality
[11:45] <juan_> what do you think?
[11:45] <johey> What is a Sony Sing Star adapter?
[11:48] <juan_> the adapter to Play Station Sing Star
[11:49] <johey> Is it a USB sound interface?
[11:50] <johey> I don't think I can help anyway. If the quality cannot be improved by setting parameters in qjackctl I don't think you can do much.
[11:51] <johey> I guess the Sing Star hardware is just there to analyze the voice pitch, so the quality doesn't need to be that great.
[17:18] <__raven> hi
[17:19] <__raven> hi
[17:21] <__raven> id like to change from cubase to ardour3 and need a list of instrument plugins running with that to substitute a lot of vst instrument plugins - any ideas? what do you use?
[17:23] <holstein> __raven: i would try and not think of it as a substitue
[17:23] <holstein> __raven: i dont mean to be "abrasive" or rude, but the fact is, ardour and linux and JACK are all open
[17:24] <holstein> *anyone*.. any vendor can and is encouraged to create whatever they want for the platform
[17:24] <holstein> the *exact* software you are talking about can be release for ardour
[17:25] <holstein> there are *many* options already available.. but, as far as you saying "i use x vst in cubase, what can i use in ardour".. the issue is, i dont use cubase anymore, and im not given access to the information about the instrumens you are looking for
[17:25] <holstein> i would try and think about when you started using cubase
[17:26] <holstein> you didnt have *any* preconcieved ideas or software or work flows. you just have a task, and you learn to do it
[17:27] <holstein> you can try visiting #opensourcemusicians and see what is being used.. otherwise, i would try asking specifically for what you are looking for.. "i need to do x, how do you do that in ubuntustudio".. for example
[17:29] <holstein> __raven: also, imagine having this coverstation with a person at apple or microsoft.. calling up MS support and saying "im using a DAW.. what vst's are available for it?"
[17:30] <holstein> they would have no way of getting to all of that information, and that is a proprietary model where folks are paid to culminate such data..
[17:30] <holstein> with open software, things come and go so much, and no commercial entity is really in charge of making sure information is release about the options
[17:31] <holstein> and, replacing or emulating other software may not be the goal of the projects anyway
[17:31] <holstein> this is my friends page, [lsd], from #opensourcemusicians.. http://wootangent.net/category/linux/ ..he is my go to midi guy
[18:27] <wachin> Hi to all UbuntuStudio dev
[18:27] <wachin> I need one help, Shutter not edit image in UbuntuStudio 13.04
[18:28] <OvenWerks> Ok, what is shutter? Where did you get it from?
[18:28] <wachin> But Shutter working fine in UbuntuStudio 12.04
[18:28] <wachin> from synaptic
[18:29] <wachin> (Hi OvenWerks)
[18:29]  * OvenWerks is looking for it :)
[18:31] <wachin> ok
[18:31] <wachin> With Shutter I make a tutos
[18:32] <OvenWerks> I would off the top of my head suggest lib problems.
[18:33] <OvenWerks> it uses gtk/gnome 2.
[18:33] <OvenWerks> 13.10 is worse.
[18:34] <wachin> uhh
[18:34] <wachin> Thanks OvenWerks for the info
[18:34] <OvenWerks> All of the installed libs are v3
[18:35] <wachin> Oh oh
[18:35] <wachin> ok
[18:35] <OvenWerks> It does install v2 stuff and synaptic says it can find them all
[18:38] <OvenWerks> wachin: there does seem to be a newer version out there though
[18:38] <wachin> ok go to the web page shutter
[18:39] <OvenWerks> .90.1 for 12.04-13.04
[18:41] <wachin> Yes,
[18:41] <wachin> Now I install this PPA ppa:shutter/ppa
[18:41] <OvenWerks> synaptic has an older version
[18:43] <wachin> oh oh
[18:43] <wachin> OvenWerks and how I update Synaptic in UbuntuStudio 13.04
[18:44] <OvenWerks> Once you add the ppa hit the update button in synaptic or do sudo apt-get update and restart synaptic
[18:45] <wachin> Mission Failed, Shutter .90.1 not edit the image
[18:45] <OvenWerks> Opps reload
[18:45] <OvenWerks> but works otherwise?
[18:47] <wachin> Only not working the built-in image editor
[18:47] <wachin> the rest working fine
[18:47] <wachin> But I always use the image editor
[18:48] <OvenWerks> Probably not worth using without that, I agree. Lots of screen grabbers out there.
[18:55] <wachin> ok
[18:55] <wachin> Well see you latter
[18:56] <wachin> Thanks
