| em_ | hi, I've been testing Beta 2 64bit and find that UEFI is totally broken. is this a known issue? | 02:31 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | !uefi | 02:36 |
| ubottu | UEFI 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/UEFI | 02:36 |
| holstein | em_: you mean, you cant install it? | 02:36 |
| holstein | em_: whats the issue with uefi? is this a QA test case? | 02:43 |
| OvenWerks | holstein: FYI uefi secure boot only works with the generic kernel for now. | 03:40 |
| OvenWerks | I think it should work without secure boot turned on though | 03:41 |
| em_ | nope, not using secure boot... see for yourself, it only takes about 5 minutes to set this up in virtualbox. I was trying to convince a windows 8 victim to switch to ubustudio but could not get it to run. | 04:10 |
| em_ | yes, I have read the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI docs, plus others, I get nowhere. | 04:12 |
| holstein | em_: i dont understand what you mean by "windows 8 victim" or "couldnt get it to run".. or whate "it" is | 04:56 |
| holstein | em_: i would install ubuntu.. not ubuntustudio.. and install/use a non-testing version.. | 04:56 |
| holstein | !uefi | 04:56 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

| holstein | ^^ that documentation should work fine with the main ubuntu version.. then, you can add what you want from the studio pacagkes | 04:57 |
| holstein | packages* | 04:57 |
| holstein | em_: i would disable the secureboot on the machine | 04:59 |
| em_ | we are going round in circles... :-( SECUREBOOT is NOT enabled... anyone stuck with windows 8 esp when they didn't want it is a victim of the m$ monopoly. booting the Beta 2 on a UEFI does eventually find it's way to the grub prompt. selecting Run Without Installing ends with a blank/black screen that never goes away. selecting test/verify cd... actually works. selecting either Install or OEM Install does... after about 4 minutes | 05:14 |
| em_ | pause with a blank/black screen does finally bring up the installer. so far I have managed to do one install, oten it hangs instead of installing, but the install that did complete was not bootable, it was only giving me a black/blank screen with no visible activity. however on that particular install I did try enabling encryption which was probably a bad idea. have now made several attempts to do the install without encryption and ha | 05:14 |
| em_ | ve yet to succeed. the install that did complete did partiton the disk and put files on it, but agin, not bootable. I cant make it any more clear than this. highly suggest you try it yourself it only takes 5 minutes to set up a virtualbox test. | 05:14 |
| holstein | em_: stuck? if you purchase a machine with an operating system on it, thats a choice.. not something one is "stuck" with | 05:15 |
| holstein | em_: get a stable version of an OS that supports the hardware.. ubuntu, main ubuntu should support your hardware fine | 05:16 |
| wilee-nilee | if it is wiped it needs a msdos partition table probably | 05:16 |
| holstein | em_: dont use the development release if you are having issues, for there is no official support for it | 05:16 |
| wilee-nilee | and the mbr area cleaned gpt remnants will cause problems | 05:16 |
| holstein | one thing i would do in that scenario is to test the hard disk for errors.. any virtualbox tests i do pass | 05:17 |
| holstein | but, i dont have that particular hardware... | 05:17 |
| em_ | virtualbox is a blank never formatted disk. windows 8 has a bootable os, was trying to run live cd, so mbr not an issue | 05:18 |
| em_ | virtualbox is not a hardware, you are apparently a troll or very troll like... bye | 05:18 |
| holstein | for the record, i meant, i dont have the *actual* hardware in particular that is failing for em_.. i only have virtualbox, which i understand is not hardware.. and it works on the iso's i test, but i dont know or have that particular iso to test with | 05:23 |
| kale_ | Hi, realtive noob here. I'm trying to get my usb guitar interface to run through jack and back out of the computer. I got it setup and working yesterday, albeit with high latency. I started to tweak settings for latency, and the usb connection stopped working (hydrogen still output, though). Returning settings to default didn't help. Any ideas? | 13:21 |
| MaynardWaters | holstein: sounded like em_ wasnt in a generally good mood anyways, not much you can do to help someone like that | 16:50 |
| holstein | MaynardWaters: i probably should have been more clear though, since maybe we had a language barrier as well | 16:50 |
| kale_ | Hi, I'm having an odd problem getting my usb interface to work with jack. It worked until I starting messing with latency settings, then it stopped working. Return to qjackctl defaults didn't help, nor did a reinstall of jackd. | 22:50 |
| holstein | kale_: sometimes, i try with the live CD, just to make sure its still functioning.. do you have any error messages in the jack window? | 22:52 |
| kale_ | no errors. I'm very new to jack; looking for errors made me notice it mentions device hw:0 (onboard stuff) but has no mention of hw:1 (usb) in the startup messages | 22:55 |
| kale_ | it does say acquired audio card Audio0. | 22:56 |
| holstein | one thing i suggest, if you can, disable the onboard audio, then, you'll know that JACK is seeing the USB | 22:57 |
| holstein | otherwise, its probably a matter of selecting the device | 22:57 |
| holstein | there are 2 drop down menus.. | 22:57 |
| kale_ | "hw:1 usb audio codec" is selected as "Input Device". is this what you're talking about? | 22:58 |
| holstein | kale_: i, nor you, will ever really konw, likely | 23:00 |
| holstein | what do i do? i try and reduce the amount of cards.. .thus having only the one device | 23:00 |
| holstein | then, when i see a device, i know its it | 23:00 |
| holstein | otherwise, i literally select *every* one and test | 23:00 |
| holstein | not trusting labels | 23:00 |
| kale_ | ok, I'll give that a go. Gotta go teach a guitar lesson. Thanks. | 23:01 |
| holstein | kale_: good luck | 23:01 |
