| dyingjohnnie | man... ubuntu studio is fucking awesome | 04:52 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: thanks!. glad you enjoy.. do try and keep the language clean in the channel | 04:53 |
| dyingjohnnie | whoops | 04:53 |
| dyingjohnnie | sorry guys. | 04:53 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: no worries :) | 04:53 |
| dyingjohnnie | any of you guys use the synth or drum tools offered by US? | 04:53 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: i have | 04:54 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: you can also try #opensourcemusicians | 04:54 |
| dyingjohnnie | i'm looking for some completed audio to listen to | 04:54 |
| dyingjohnnie | oh nice | 04:54 |
| holstein | here are the issues.. as i see them | 04:54 |
| holstein | "good" is a matter of opinion | 04:54 |
| holstein | they really arent "offered by ubuntustudio" necessariy.. they are just in the main repos, and are basically available to any distro | 04:55 |
| holstein | hydrogen is the big drum synth folks use | 04:55 |
| holstein | there are many software synth options | 04:55 |
| dyingjohnnie | well yeah | 04:55 |
| dyingjohnnie | that's not really what i meant | 04:55 |
| dyingjohnnie | i've NEVER used linux as a DAW | 04:56 |
| holstein | http://pneuman.bandcamp.com/ | 04:56 |
| dyingjohnnie | and now it seems feasible | 04:56 |
| holstein | that is a friends work | 04:56 |
| holstein | well, its always been pretty do-able.. assuming you find what you are looking for, and dont mind learning the tools | 04:57 |
| dyingjohnnie | well... | 04:57 |
| dyingjohnnie | not exactly | 04:57 |
| dyingjohnnie | the hardware was always the issue | 04:57 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: are we talking about hardare? | 04:57 |
| holstein | hardware? | 04:57 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: im not | 04:57 |
| dyingjohnnie | audio interface compatibility at least in my experience used to be a motherduck to work with | 04:57 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: doesnt matter.. ubuntu/linux is up to the task | 04:57 |
| dyingjohnnie | oh definitely | 04:58 |
| dyingjohnnie | my interface worked out of the box. I almost peed my pantaloons | 04:58 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: *anyone* is always welcomd and encouraged to create and support what they like for whatever OS. including this one | 04:58 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: my presonus firepod works out of the box | 04:58 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: RME typically provides support | 04:58 |
| dyingjohnnie | RME? | 04:58 |
| holstein | but, that support is typically not the responsibility of the OS, anyway | 04:59 |
| dyingjohnnie | oh snap.. i have restart. the install is almost done here. I'll bbiab to continue this. | 04:59 |
| dyingjohnnie | thank you very much | 04:59 |
| holstein | dyingjohnnie: enjoy.. im off soon | 04:59 |
| InsertUser | Hi, I'd like to remove the Unity bar at the bottom but I can't figure out how | 10:39 |
| zequence | InsertUser: The Unity bar? | 10:49 |
| InsertUser | #the one that shows when you put the cursor to the bottom | 10:50 |
| zequence | You seemed to have fixed your AMD driver issues? When you were here asking before, you always quit before anyone could answer | 10:50 |
| zequence | It's just a panel, like the one at the top | 10:50 |
| InsertUser | actually no | 10:50 |
| zequence | Right click on the panel, and choose panel settings | 10:50 |
| InsertUser | my computer conked out before anyone culd answer | 10:50 |
| InsertUser | could* | 10:51 |
| InsertUser | also, what do I do from settings | 10:51 |
| zequence | I'm sure you'll figure it out | 10:52 |
| zequence | I don't use XFCE myself, so.. | 10:52 |
| InsertUser | nope I cant figure out how to find it | 10:54 |
| InsertUser | remove* | 10:54 |
| zequence | There are two panels. You can choose to remove one | 10:54 |
| zequence | It's all there, in the panel settings | 10:54 |
| InsertUser | oh got it | 10:54 |
| InsertUser | you just select panel 1 and click the minus | 10:54 |
| InsertUser | anyway, can someone tell me how to install the AMD drivers without it messing up the resolution | 10:57 |
| InsertUser | AMD catalyst | 10:57 |
| InsertUser | Ok, now when I open Ubuntu Software Center it just exits | 11:05 |
| zequence | InsertUser: The only file I know of to fix resolutions is /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which does not exist by default. When setting up resolution settings with nvidia-settings, and saving, it will create that file | 11:07 |
| zequence | I'm assuming it's the same with Catalyst | 11:08 |
| InsertUser | it is | 11:08 |
| zequence | You'll need to run it as root, in order to make changes permanent | 11:08 |
| InsertUser | but I've edited that and When I re-booted it just reset the file | 11:08 |
| zequence | It can't reset | 11:08 |
| zequence | Any changes to that file are permanent | 11:09 |
| InsertUser | so, do I install the driver, edit the file, then reboot? | 11:09 |
| zequence | Try using Catalyst. That's should be the easiest | 11:09 |
| InsertUser | yeah I'm using the catalyst driver | 11:09 |
| zequence | But, you'll need root access to save to file | 11:10 |
| InsertUser | ik | 11:10 |
| InsertUser | gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:10 |
| zequence | I mean, Catalyst, the control center | 11:10 |
| InsertUser | ok | 11:10 |
| zequence | Not, fglrx, the driver | 11:10 |
| InsertUser | but you cant access that untill you reboot | 11:10 |
| zequence | Sure you can | 11:10 |
| InsertUser | i tried it | 11:10 |
| zequence | The driver won't be loaded, until you reboot | 11:10 |
| InsertUser | sudo amdccc | 11:10 |
| zequence | But, the files are all there | 11:11 |
| InsertUser | it came up with an error | 11:11 |
| zequence | Ah, right | 11:11 |
| zequence | you're right | 11:11 |
| zequence | It will error if the driver is not loaded | 11:11 |
| zequence | Well, edit the file by hand then | 11:11 |
| InsertUser | so do I just edit the file? | 11:11 |
| InsertUser | ok | 11:11 |
| InsertUser | If it doesn't work I'll press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and do sudo amdconfig --uninstall=force | 11:14 |
| InsertUser | ok... | 11:15 |
| InsertUser | what am I looking at in this file? | 11:15 |
| InsertUser | my monitor is 1024x768x60 | 11:15 |
| InsertUser | I dont know what line to change | 11:15 |
| InsertUser | zequence: what am I looking for to edit? | 11:17 |
| InsertUser | zequence? | 11:18 |
| InsertUser | This forum has a line that says "Modes: "1024x769"": http://askubuntu.com/questions/74808/how-do-i-force-a-resolution-of-1024x768 | 11:22 |
| InsertUser | do I add that line? | 11:22 |
| InsertUser | ok gonna reboot now | 11:24 |
| InsertUser | Nope that didn't work | 11:30 |
| InsertUser | I think I'll ask AMD Support | 11:33 |
| neofita-estremo | ciao a tutti | 12:06 |
