[04:13] <sirriffsalot> Hey, I've locked a C* reverb version because the latest one (lucid) really sucked.. Anyway, when I do an update, it goes on updating it even though it's locked! This applies to both sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and the prompt-upgrade every now and then
[04:29] <holstein> sirriffsalot: lucid?
[04:29] <holstein> !info lucid
[04:29] <holstein> !lucid
[04:29] <holstein> sirriffsalot: what "sucked"?
[04:30] <holstein> sirriffsalot: what are you asking?
[05:06] <sirriffsalot> holstein: nvm lucid, hehe
[08:33] <caodepalha> Hi everyone! I have a question here. My ubuntu studio stopped performing the keyboard shortcuts to play, pause, choose the next song etc with clementine or any other music player. how can i get it to work again? thanks
[08:36] <cfhowlett> caodepalha, all the players have different keyboarding ...
[08:37] <caodepalha> it used to work with all of them
[08:37] <caodepalha> the fn key plus play or spot etc
[08:37] <cfhowlett> caodepalha, so you mean the MEDIA keys ... not shortcuts
[08:37] <caodepalha> yes
[08:37] <caodepalha> i didn't know the correct word sorry
[08:37] <cfhowlett> caodepalha, those are usually machine specific and are set up at installation
[08:38] <caodepalha> i guess i must have changed something
[08:38] <caodepalha> they used to work...
[08:39] <cfhowlett> caodepalha, here's a test: make a new user or go into the guest account and see what the keys do.  if they still don't fly, you changed something.  if they DO fly, the changes are only in your account, not global
[08:39] <caodepalha> ok
[08:41] <cfhowlett> caodepalha, rather than go searching through all the .hidden files, I would suggest you consider deleting the .hidden files and folders in your /home.  Of course, this will set ALL your configurations back to Zero Day ...
[08:42] <cfhowlett> ... also known as the "nuclear option"
[08:43] <caodepalha> what do you mean by all configurations?
[08:44] <cfhowlett> anything you've set up since installation: special keys, email accounts ...
[08:46] <caodepalha> i dunno if i want to do that
[08:46] <caodepalha> maybe i'll leave it as it is then
[08:46] <cfhowlett> reboot and test the keys as well.
[08:50] <caodepal1> i'll try that
[08:50] <caodepal1> thanks
[12:45] <reaby1> question about fast track ultra 8r, how do i control the pulse audio latencies
[12:54] <reaby1> also my the device looks to be reseting any now and then, also i have only mono out
[13:21] <reaby1> ok got it working, but the alsamixer settings by default are way wrong for the card
[13:22] <reaby1> that was the main reason for distored mono sound
[13:22] <zequence> reaby1: Check out #opensourcemusicians. There may be someone there who has that same device
[13:22] <reaby1> zequence: thanks
[13:22] <zequence> If you want to change default alsa settings for a card, you may need to take that up with the upstream alsa developers
[13:23] <reaby1> that would be awesome
[13:23] <reaby1> how can i contact them
[13:23] <reaby1> #alsa here at freenode ?
[13:23] <zequence> This is their home page http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
[13:24] <reaby1> thanks
[13:24] <zequence> #alsa is their channel, yes. They also have mail lists
[13:24] <zequence> reaby1: There is a chance the person who wrote the drivers for that card is on #opensourcemusicians
[13:24] <zequence> or #lad
[13:24] <zequence> (linux audio developers)
[13:25] <zequence> The drivers for that card are not your normal generic drivers.
[13:26] <reaby1> ok
[13:26] <reaby1> i try to contact somebody so the right settings would be right on from the start for everybody
[13:27] <reaby1> thanks.
[17:59] <studio-user942> hi guys!
[17:59] <holstein> o/
[17:59] <studio-user942> i have a problem with the installation of ubuntu studio 13.04... can u help me?
[17:59] <holstein> you'll need to ask, then we'll see if a volunteer can help
[18:02] <holstein> studio-user942: ^
[18:02] <studio-user942> my problem is that the installation seems to go well til the end... but when i reboot the system it seems that ubuntu doesn't load nothing...
[18:02] <holstein> studio-user942: well, ubuntu doesnt load anything
[18:02] <studio-user942> and i can see only a black screen
[18:02] <holstein> studio-user942: you install it, and the boot loader loads the OS
[18:02] <holstein> studio-user942: what are you using? the ubuntustudio 32bit 13.04 iso? from CD?
[18:03] <studio-user942> 64 bit from usb key
[18:03] <studio-user942> i made the usb key bootable with lili
[18:03] <holstein> studio-user942: i would look at the hardware with a live CD, and see that it looks as im expecting.. i might try doing a grub repair
[18:04] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[18:04] <zequence> studio-user942: Make sure GRUB is installed onto the right hard drive
[18:04] <zequence> You make the selection during partitioning
[18:04] <holstein> make sure you are asking the machine to boot the hard drive with the bootloader installed
[18:04] <zequence> studio-user942: Did you partition manually?
[18:05] <studio-user942> yes... can it be a problem with the uefi bios?
[18:05] <zequence> Ah yeah
[18:05] <holstein> studio-user942: sure..
[18:05] <holstein> !uefi | studio-user942
[18:05] <studio-user942> well ahah
[18:05] <zequence> studio-user942: You need to disable secure boot
[18:05] <zequence> linux-lowlatency is not signed for that stuff yet
[18:06] <zequence> other Ubuntu flavors come with linux-generic, which is signed and will work
[18:06] <studio-user942> oh well... so... what should i do? i really want to install ubuntu studio
[18:06] <holstein> or, you could use another flavour, or the generic kernel
[18:06] <zequence> In your BIOS settings, disable secure boot features
[18:06] <holstein> studio-user942: you should disable secure boot, or use a kernel that supports your environment
[18:06] <studio-user942> ok... how can i disable the secure boot?
[18:07] <holstein> studio-user942: in the bios, as mentioned above
[18:07] <zequence> In your BIOS settings
[18:07] <zequence> Or, rather BIOS/UEFI settings
[18:07] <holstein> studio-user942: that will and can be different per manufacturer.. you'll need to ask the support for the manufacturer, or manual
[18:07] <studio-user942> ok perfect, i'm going to try it... thanks a lot! =D
