| caodepalha | hello everyone. something strange just happened. I've turned on my laptop and my ubuntustudio is all messed up. My workplaces dissapeared, firefox starts up at login and I can't cloe the window and all other windows are not working properly. | 11:13 |
|---|---|---|
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, logout/login | 11:15 |
| cfhowlett | or reboot | 11:15 |
| caodepalha | I've done that already. if i log into a diferent user on the gnome desktop everything is allright. it only happned in my ubuntustudio acount | 11:17 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, hmm. could be your xfce desktop environment is scrambled. | 11:18 |
| zequence | caodepalha: Something in your user settings is screwed up. Might be you enabled remembering the session in the login/logout procedure | 11:18 |
| zequence | caodepalha: The simple solution is to delete ~/.config and preferable also ~/.cache | 11:19 |
| caodepalha | i'm loggeg onto gnome right now can that be done from here? | 11:19 |
| zequence | just make sure you aren't really wanting to keep some of your application settings, because most of them will be reset (not firefox) | 11:19 |
| caodepalha | logged* | 11:19 |
| zequence | caodepalha: Yes, in a terminal, do: rm -r ~/.config ~/.cache | 11:20 |
| caodepalha | what type of applications settings can be lost' | 11:20 |
| caodepalha | ? | 11:20 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, nothing that can be reset... | 11:21 |
| cfhowlett | nothing that CAN'T be reset | 11:21 |
| caodepalha | I don't lose any of the programs installed right? do i lose program settings? | 11:21 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, programs stay, settings go | 11:21 |
| caodepalha | ardour settings and other stuff | 11:22 |
| zequence | most of your application settings will be reset | 11:23 |
| zequence | not firefox | 11:23 |
| caodepalha | hum ok and then the desktop goes back to the way it was before. but with setting reset. i just run thr command rm -r ~/.confing ~/.cache from a terminal on gnome the log out and log in into ubuntustudio? | 11:24 |
| caodepalha | back the way it was with setting reset | 11:24 |
| caodepalha | settings* | 11:24 |
| zequence | yes, back to initial, default settings | 11:25 |
| caodepalha | will all the programs appear in the menu the way i left them set? | 11:26 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, no. they'll appear as they did the very first time you logged in as a new user. | 11:27 |
| caodepalha | but they'll be there still and i "just" have to add them in thr settings manager right? | 11:28 |
| zequence | all applications will still be installed | 11:28 |
| zequence | just their settings will be reset | 11:28 |
| zequence | no system settings will be touched, only user settings in the user home folder | 11:29 |
| caodepalha | do they appear in the menu? | 11:29 |
| zequence | yes | 11:29 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, "they" ? the PROGRAMS will be present. the SETTINGS will be default until you change them | 11:29 |
| caodepalha | ok I was just trying to understand since i've spent a lot of time editing the user menu would the programs apear in the same spaces iv'e left them | 11:30 |
| caodepalha | i get a: no such file directory answer | 11:34 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, guarantee that file is present | 11:35 |
| caodepalha | how do i locate it? | 11:35 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, *config* not *confing* | 11:35 |
| caodepalha | sudo rm -r ~/-config ~/.cache | 11:36 |
| caodepalha | ? | 11:37 |
| caodepalha | i still get the same response | 11:37 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, go to your file manager, display home, display .hidden folders | 11:39 |
| caodepalha | ok | 11:39 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, take your time and only nuke the 2 files specified | 11:40 |
| caodepalha | ok i ran the command. now i see the reset lol | 11:49 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, make of note of it. you might need it again someday. | 11:50 |
| caodepalha | i dont even know how it happened | 11:51 |
| cfhowlett | caodepalha, but you know how to fix it :) | 11:51 |
| caodepalha | true! thanks | 11:52 |
| Siya | zequence: I can't seem to find any decent examples in puredata, where dB values are converted to a linear value. Any pointers maybe? | 14:23 |
| zequence | Siya: There's dbtorms and rmstodb I think | 14:39 |
| zequence | and other conversions objects too | 14:39 |
| zequence | create a dbtorms, then right-click for help | 14:40 |
| zequence | you'll see a bunch | 14:40 |
| Siya | zequence: the thing that trips me up is negative representation in dB | 14:47 |
| zequence | Siya: I really recommend you to drop inteo #dataflow for specifics, also the pd mail list. The mail list is incredibly active. | 14:51 |
| Siya | kthnx | 14:52 |
| zequence | There's also a forum, which is fairly active as well. I only use the mail list myself | 14:52 |
| aloiece | why is ubuntu studio using pulse audio and not jack by default? or am I mixing things up? | 19:30 |
| zequence | !proaudio | 19:31 |
| ubottu | For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 19:31 |
| zequence | aloiece: ^ | 19:31 |
| zequence | Ubuntu Studio is not an audio only distribution | 19:32 |
| aloiece | I see | 19:34 |
| aloiece | thanks | 19:34 |
| studio-user776 | what a fun-filled day!! | 21:53 |
