[02:26] <ich> my ubuntu-software-center doesn't work in the newest version
[02:27] <cfhowlett> ich, "doesn't work" ??? error messages and/or screen shots would be instructive here
[11:17] <Qwazz> Hi All, Help please - How do I get a sweet Ubuntu Studio desktop, with eye candy (themes and icons) and a way to customise the login screen. Where do I get a complete theme (desktop, icons, login, the works as a .deb)? Should I need to do it one by one (docker, icons, background, etc) is there a resource with a step by step for how to do it?
[11:19] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, do this
[11:20] <Qwazz> Hi, All, part of my previous text seems to be missing; the greeting. In the main I want a sweet ubuntu studio desktop. I have 12.04 on a Dell Latitude E5530.
[11:20] <cfhowlett> by the way, what ubuntu are you running right now?
[11:20] <cfhowlett> so: plain ubuntu 12.04?
[11:20] <Qwazz> cfhowlett - Hi, yes 12.04
[11:21] <Qwazz> Ubuntu Studio 12.04.
[11:22] <cfhowlett> wait do you have ubuntu or ubuntustudio?
[11:22] <Qwazz> Ubuntu Studio 12.04
[11:22] <cfhowlett> then I'm confused as you have the complete package, already ....
[11:24] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, xfce (xubuntu) themes are minimal by design.  I can share some wallpaper suggestions ...
[11:24] <Qwazz> cfhowlett: I have ubuntu studio 12.04 fresh install, now I want to get it sweet. Followed some howtos on the interweb but can't seem to get guides for newbies to eyecandy up the default xfce desktop and login screen.
[11:26] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, that's a hint.  xfce has minimal theming functions.  there are lots of ubuntustudio wallpapers, but an overall theme/login might not be readily available without some deep searching
[11:28] <Qwazz> so the login screen can't be cusomised easily, like the login in the desktop version?
[11:28] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, desktop?  you're not running the desktop version?
[11:29] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, details matter ...
[11:30] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, assuming your on Ubuntustudio, your desktop environment is xfce4.  By design, xfce is minimal.  themes and customization are rare.  look in settings appearance for starters.
[11:30] <Qwazz> Ubuntu Studio is not a Desktop version? And if so, why would the appearance of the login screen be a systems issue?
[11:31] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, YOU asked if it couldn't be customized like the "desktop version" implying that you were NOT running the desktop version :)   Thus, I asked
[11:32] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, so far as I know, there's not internal method to change the login other than session and startup > splash
[11:33] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, any themes/eyecandy will be found on www.xfce-look.org
[11:33] <Qwazz> cfhowlett, Ok sorry. I am running Ubuntustudio 12.04, desktop version on an i-5 Dell Latitude E5530. I have installed, added a number of applications (using howtos), removed default bottom panel and installed cairo dock. There are two things I wish to resolve;
[11:34] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, this sounds like your request solution:  http://www.google.com.hk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=xubuntu+look&source=web&cd=7&cad=rja&ved=0CEcQFjAG&url=%68%74%74%70%3a%2f%2f%77%77%77%2e%64%65%64%6f%69%6d%65%64%6f%2e%63%6f%6d%2f%63%6f%6d%70%75%74%65%72%73%2f%78%75%62%75%6e%74%75%2d%70%69%6d%70%2e%68%74%6d%6c&ei=9PrDUrKDEoaeiQe1hoDYDA&usg=AFQjCNFC3lya8R7tvUJ52lrcOkRVgaNzrw
[11:35] <cfhowlett> errr ignore that mess
[11:35] <cfhowlett> http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/xubuntu-pimp.html
[11:36] <Qwazz> 1) I have been on the interweb including xfcelook.org, I have downloaded themes, icons, etc. I have uncompressed them and placed in /themses and /icons folders respectively. From here some themes with showup in settings manager, some won't, the same is true for the icons. There are still individual icons I'd like to change
[11:37] <Qwazz> if a lock n stock theme (like a wrapper) for everything in one install (pref .deb file).
[11:38] <Qwazz> 2) I want to change the desktop login screen to something akin to the normal Ubuntu Desktop login. I don't know where in settings I could do that, nor do I see a tool to do it, have even tried ubuntu tweak.
[11:40] <Qwazz> I have noted files with .mdm in the file name and have been reading about lightDM but seems to be for the GNome desktop.
[11:40] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, as I stated, no such point-and-click functionality is built in.  I've never seen a hack or tutorial describing the method
[11:41] <Qwazz> thank you, following links....
[11:42] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, best of luck to you
[11:49] <Qwazz> cfhowlett, I'm back. the article is good but not really a tutorial. I've done most of it, if not all. For example, my issue now "is not installing a dock but changing an icon (.svg/.png) on the dock or system to one of my choosing.
[11:50] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, sorry, over my head.  see if someone is awake on #xubuntu
[11:50] <Qwazz> Wait a minute... so should I install the xubuntu environment?
[11:52] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, Ubuntustudio is built from XUBUNTU!  as I've posted above a few times ...
[11:52] <cfhowlett> :)
[11:52] <Qwazz> Doesn't the "X" in Xubuntu mean XFce desktop, anyway?
[11:52] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, yes
[11:52] <Qwazz> Oh, yeah, thanks
[11:54] <Qwazz> I must ask this though, has no one as in ever changed the login (theme) in UBuntu Studio, ever...
[11:54] <cfhowlett> Qwazz, that I know of, no.
[15:13] <jeevanus> hi
[15:14] <jeevanus> how to use my windows key in laptop as superkey? in ubuntustudio an xfce based one?
[19:37] <wachin> Happy New Year to all UbuntuStudio Developers
[19:40] <taifunorkan> Krieg auf Zynaddsubfx nur eine Spur von Rosegarden?! Hilfe.
[19:41] <wachin> Thanks zequence and holstein for their knowledge, which helped me a lot in my life as happy worship beside UbuntuStudio
[19:47] <wachin> I have a question, I'm using Jack Audio with Ardour to record my voice and a hint of praise at the same time, and I'm monitoring with Ardour (not by hardware) and as a delay could be heard from when singing and music track, in this moment I got to QjackCtl in the Setup change to 256 the frame / period (default was 1024), and now if there is almost no perceptible delay and I can sing well the song being recorded in Ardour. My question is if it is not
[19:47] <wachin> something to harm my Dell Inspiron 1750 Laptop for doing this
[20:28] <holstein> wachin: are you asking if setting the latency lower will harm the hardware?
[20:28] <holstein> if so.. no
[20:38] <wachin> Ok holstein, good,
[20:39] <wachin> working fine Jack for my on 256 frame / period
[20:44] <william> new to ubuntu and ubuntu studio...where do i start?
[20:45] <holstein> !proaudio
[20:45] <holstein> assuming you are using it for audio
[20:45] <holstein> william: you can try the #opensourcemusicians community
[20:45] <holstein> i would just pick a simple task, and make it happen
[20:46] <william> will look at the help community...
[20:47] <holstein> william: well, this is the help community.. you and i
[20:47] <holstein> william: the opensourcemusicians channel is just some nice helpful folks that might be doing something you are trying to do
[20:49] <william> yes, its cool to have a chat... been doing allot of internet digging in the last couple of days... getting ubuntu to run
[20:54] <william> i don't see where to start the studio?
[20:55] <holstein> william: what do you mean by "start the studio"?
[20:55] <william> and do i have to install this lowlatency stuff?
[20:55] <holstein> william: if you want lower latency, you will want to try it
[20:55] <holstein> william: if you are asking "what is latency?", then, no.. dont install it yet
[20:56] <william> ok
[20:58] <william> what other setup do i have to do... I just finished updating to ubuntu studio and had to reboot
[20:58] <holstein> it really depends
[20:58] <holstein> what would i do? get a simple task, and accomplish it
[20:59] <william> looks like i have to install audio,  graphic, and video packages
[20:59] <holstein> JACK is the central thing that runs and is necessary for most pro audio
[20:59] <holstein> william: you dont *have* to ever do anything
[20:59] <william> and the ubuntu studio desktop
[20:59] <william> ??
[20:59] <holstein> william: you'll need to elaboarate as to what you are trying to do to get a suggestion
[20:59] <holstein> william: i would suggest *not* installing ubuntustudio this way
[20:59] <holstein> william: i would download the live CD.. and run it.. look at the packages.. see what you like, and why
[21:00] <holstein> william: try running JACK there.. get used to it
[21:00] <william> ahhh
[21:00] <holstein> william: then, you can decide what you need/want and go from there
[21:00] <holstein> otherwise, you can just install whatever you like from the meta packages
[21:00] <holstein> if you are trying to do audio production, you will want to refer to the link i gave, and get used to JACK
[21:12] <william> holstein: just reading through the link you sent... thank you for the help
[21:12] <holstein> william: sure.. anytime
[21:19] <william> holstein:  As mentioned above... new to ubuntu and studio, figured new year, lets try a new OS
[21:19] <william> and was looking at studio to start playing with audio development
[21:22] <holstein> william: what kind of "developement" ?
[21:25] <william> holstein:  do you use the audio in  studio?
[21:25] <holstein> william: use "the audio?"
[21:25] <holstein> william: i use linux for audio production
[21:25] <holstein> mostly analog recording mixing and production
[21:26] <william> yes, that is what i was meaning
[21:30] <william> holstein:  what type of audio or music?
[21:30] <holstein> william: many types
[21:30] <holstein> mostly acoustic/jazz-ish.. but whatever pays the bills
[21:36] <curiousx> aloha all guys
[21:36] <curiousx> happy new year :)
[21:38] <curiousx> well... i got a Xonar 7.1 and a 7.1 headphone, but i can not configure my ubuntu 13.10 at 7.1 i only can configure it at 5.1 any one can help me with that please?
[21:38] <holstein> curiousx: probably not
[21:38] <holstein> curiousx: is it a deal breaker?
[21:39] <holstein> curiousx: i mean, ideally, xonar will help you, just like they would if it were for windows, or whatever it is they officialy support
[21:39] <holstein> what i usually do is try live CD's and see if anything (any kernel or alsa version) just supports the device properly out of the box
[21:40] <holstein> i will use alsamixer in the terminal and paucontrol if pulse is running.. i dont trust any labels of anything either place.. i tweak all settings
[21:40] <holstein> curiousx: nothing about ubuntustudio in particular will be specifically helping or hindering the support of that device in ubuntu or linux.. i would try upstream for help as well
[21:41] <holstein> a larger pool of users could be helpful with that issue
[21:42] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1751107
[21:42] <curiousx> in #ubuntu nobady can helps me, and i tweak everything that could tweak but i cant get it working at 7.1 =(
[21:42] <curiousx> o ty, ill check that link
[21:42] <holstein> curiousx: and, as i said, it may never work at 7.1
[21:43] <holstein> if the device didnt say on the box "7.1 support in linux", then it may not do it
[21:43] <curiousx> :'(
[21:43] <holstein> curiousx: otherwise, try live CD's and tweaking *eveything* as i suggested above.. not trusting labels
[21:43] <holstein> curiousx: its a challenging issue
[21:44] <holstein> curiousx: linux/ubuntu is doing what its supposed to do, and the manufacturer is doing what they promised to you
[21:44] <holstein> curiousx: when you buy something like that, you really need to be open to it not working, or working in a limited way, or spending lots of time troubleshooting it.. or research it before purchase
[21:45] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/288161/ubuntu-13-04-how-configure-surround-sound
[21:45] <holstein> ^^ that post says the device (assuming its the same device) is working in 71.
[21:45] <holstein> 7.1*
[21:46] <holstein> curiousx: that link suggests using pavucontrol, which i suggested above as well
[21:46] <holstein> !info pavucontrol
[21:47] <curiousx> yeah... i read that post, i already configure the Xonar at 7.1 but when i do the test "Front left" and "Front right" doesnt work =(  http://i.imgur.com/xw82JD7.jpg
[21:47] <holstein> curiousx: ok.. you can try the live CD for the distro the *specifically* reference
[21:48] <holstein> curiousx: i see 7.1 there in the pic
[21:48] <holstein> if it were me, i would test under windows and make sure i have the analog connections properly setup
[21:49] <holstein> actually, i just do stereo.. so none of this applies to me
[21:49] <curiousx> actually, what really works for me was setting alsa in this way:  http://i.imgur.com/tqrCp8A.png
[21:49] <curiousx> yep
[21:50] <curiousx> and sorry but what distro do you suggest for me to test? "Ubuntu Studio" ?
[21:50] <holstein> curiousx: testing from a live CD will also remove any configs or changes you have done from the eauation as well
[21:50] <holstein> curiousx: i was referring to the version
[21:50] <curiousx> good point
[21:51] <holstein> curiousx: there is not difference in the spins, as far as hardware support
[21:51] <holstein> curiousx: 13.10 vs 13.04 can make or break support
[21:51] <curiousx> yep
[21:54] <curiousx> ok, mah friend thanks you
[22:01] <curiousx> doh! ubuntu studio doesnt have a PPA for ubuntu 13.10 anymore ? =(
