[04:52] <dyingjohnnie> man... ubuntu studio is fucking awesome
[04:53] <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?
[04:54] <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
[04:55] <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
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <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
[04:58] <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?
[04:59] <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
[10:39] <InsertUser> Hi, I'd like to remove the Unity bar at the bottom but I can't figure out how
[10:49] <zequence> InsertUser: The Unity bar?
[10:50] <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
[10:51] <InsertUser> could*
[10:51] <InsertUser> also, what do I do from settings
[10:52] <zequence> I'm sure you'll figure it out
[10:52] <zequence> I don't use XFCE myself, so..
[10:54] <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
[10:57] <InsertUser> anyway, can someone tell me how to install the AMD drivers without it messing up the resolution
[10:57] <InsertUser> AMD catalyst
[11:05] <InsertUser> Ok, now when I open Ubuntu Software Center it just exits
[11:07] <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
[11:08] <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
[11:09] <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
[11:10] <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
[11:11] <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
[11:14] <InsertUser> If it doesn't work I'll press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and do sudo amdconfig --uninstall=force
[11:15] <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
[11:17] <InsertUser> zequence: what am I looking for to edit?
[11:18] <InsertUser> zequence?
[11:22] <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?
[11:24] <InsertUser> ok gonna reboot now
[11:30] <InsertUser> Nope that didn't work
[11:33] <InsertUser> I think I'll ask AMD Support
[12:06] <neofita-estremo> ciao a tutti
