My workplaces dissapeared, firefox starts up at login and I can't cloe the window and all other windows are not working properly. [11:15] caodepalha, logout/login [11:15] or reboot [11:17] 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 [11:18] caodepalha, hmm. could be your xfce desktop environment is scrambled. [11:18] caodepalha: Something in your user settings is screwed up. Might be you enabled remembering the session in the login/logout procedure [11:19] caodepalha: The simple solution is to delete ~/.config and preferable also ~/.cache [11:19] i'm loggeg onto gnome right now can that be done from here? [11:19] 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] logged* [11:20] caodepalha: Yes, in a terminal, do: rm -r ~/.config ~/.cache [11:20] what type of applications settings can be lost' [11:20] ? [11:21] caodepalha, nothing that can be reset... [11:21] nothing that CAN'T be reset [11:21] I don't lose any of the programs installed right? do i lose program settings? [11:21] caodepalha, programs stay, settings go [11:22] ardour settings and other stuff [11:23] most of your application settings will be reset [11:23] not firefox [11:24] 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] back the way it was with setting reset [11:24] settings* [11:25] yes, back to initial, default settings [11:26] will all the programs appear in the menu the way i left them set? [11:27] caodepalha, no. they'll appear as they did the very first time you logged in as a new user. [11:28] but they'll be there still and i "just" have to add them in thr settings manager right? [11:28] all applications will still be installed [11:28] just their settings will be reset [11:29] no system settings will be touched, only user settings in the user home folder [11:29] do they appear in the menu? [11:29] yes [11:29] caodepalha, "they" ? the PROGRAMS will be present. the SETTINGS will be default until you change them [11:30] 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 [11:34] i get a: no such file directory answer [11:35] caodepalha, guarantee that file is present [11:35] how do i locate it? [11:35] caodepalha, *config* not *confing* [11:36] sudo rm -r ~/-config ~/.cache [11:37] ? [11:37] i still get the same response [11:39] caodepalha, go to your file manager, display home, display .hidden folders [11:39] ok [11:40] caodepalha, take your time and only nuke the 2 files specified [11:49] ok i ran the command. now i see the reset lol [11:50] caodepalha, make of note of it. you might need it again someday. [11:51] i dont even know how it happened [11:51] caodepalha, but you know how to fix it :) [11:52] true! thanks [14:23] zequence: I can't seem to find any decent examples in puredata, where dB values are converted to a linear value. Any pointers maybe? [14:39] Siya: There's dbtorms and rmstodb I think [14:39] and other conversions objects too [14:40] create a dbtorms, then right-click for help [14:40] you'll see a bunch [14:47] zequence: the thing that trips me up is negative representation in dB [14:51] Siya: I really recommend you to drop inteo #dataflow for specifics, also the pd mail list. The mail list is incredibly active. [14:52] kthnx [14:52] There's also a forum, which is fairly active as well. I only use the mail list myself [19:30] why is ubuntu studio using pulse audio and not jack by default? or am I mixing things up?
