[15:58] <caodepalha> Hi everyone. I've just downloaded the calf plugin pack. can anyone please help me installing it?
[16:18] <holstein> caodepalha: did you apt-get them?
[16:18] <holstein> caodepalha: sudo apt-get install calf-plugins
[16:18] <holstein> !info calf-plugins
[16:19] <caodepalha> i got them from sourceforge
[16:19] <holstein> caodepalha: then, sourceforge or the content creator will tell you how to install them
[16:19] <holstein> caodepalha: otherwise, use the package in the repos.. sudo apt-get install calf-plugins
[16:19] <holstein> caodepalha: if you find you need a different/newer version, we can talk about what that might look like..
[16:19] <caodepalha> I still didn't figure out how to install tar.gz archives
[16:20] <holstein> caodepalha: install them from the repos.. *not* from the tar.gz
[16:20] <holstein> caodepalha: open a terminal.. type... "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install calf-plugins"
[16:21] <holstein> caodepalha: or, use the package manager of your choice to search for and install calf-plugins
[16:22] <caodepalha> i got this:
[16:22] <caodepalha>      This APT has Super Cow Powers.
[16:22] <caodepalha> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[16:22] <caodepalha> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[16:22] <caodepalha> caodepalha@caodepalha:~/Desktop/calf-0.0.19$
[16:32] <holstein> caodepalha: close *everything*
[16:32] <holstein> caodepalha: open *just* a terminal and run..
[16:33] <holstein> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install calf-plugins
[16:35] <caodepalha> it say calf-plugins is already the newest version
[16:35] <caodepalha> says*
[16:39] <holstein> caodepalha: then, they are installed
[16:39] <holstein> caodepalha: you open something that supports the plugins, and they will be there
[16:39] <holstein> caodepalha: they dont do much on their own..
[16:41] <caodepalha> I know. the thing is i see the plugins working on ardour and i've been through ardour and cant find them anywhere.  sorry i said the name wrong. its the calf studio gear
[16:41] <holstein> caodepalha: then, the are insatlled, and working.. if you see them in ardour
[16:42] <holstein> caodepalha: if you are using something else, then maybe that something else doesnt support the plugins
[16:42] <holstein> caodepalha: you have them installed. the question to ask is "how do i make the unmentioned application support the installed calf plugins"
[16:42] <caodepalha> I meant I cant
[16:43] <holstein> one answer for us is always, assuming jack support, you route thorugh jack
[16:43] <holstein> caodepalha: if you cant, you cant
[16:43] <holstein> caodepalha: then, theres nothing to talk about
[16:43] <holstein> caodepalha: if both things support JACK, which we know we can find a host for the plugins in jack, then you can use JACK
[16:44] <caodepalha> ok. but i guess they are not in the system. the pack doesnt come by default with ubuntu. dont i need to install it or compile?
[16:45] <caodepalha> i managed to do it with bristol. i just cant with calf studio gear somehow
[16:46] <holstein> caodepalha: if you see them in ardour, the *are* in the system
[16:46] <holstein> caodepalha: if the "system" says to you "they are already installed", then they are already installed
[16:46] <holstein> caodepalha: do you see them in ardour?
[16:50] <caodepalha> in ardour i dont see a calf plugin pack. instead i have alot of calf plugins but they layout is nothing like the layout of the calf studio gear plugins
[16:50] <holstein> caodepalha: those *are* the plugins
[16:50] <caodepalha> their layout*
[16:51] <caodepalha> they look nothing like the plugins..
[16:51] <holstein> caodepalha: they may not be the plugins you are trying to use
[16:51] <caodepalha> ok let me check
[16:53] <caodepalha> ok
[16:53] <caodepalha> i feel a "bit" dumb now
[16:53] <holstein> caodepalha: http://sourceforge.net/projects/calf/files/ is likely what you are talking about
[16:53] <caodepalha> thank you
[16:53] <caodepalha> just found them
[16:53] <holstein> you shouldnt feel "dumb".. its not easy
[16:54] <caodepalha> I really though they we're not in the system and been trying to install them
[16:55] <caodepalha> they where already there
[16:55] <holstein> caodepalha: they should be.. but maybe you are looking for something not provided
[16:55] <caodepalha> thank you man
[16:56] <holstein> no worries :)
