mreuthey, just installed ubuntu studio lts and seem to be having an issue with puredata03:50
mreutwon't open documentation and audio/midi test patch03:51
mreutfrom error window....03:51
mreutcouldn't open "/usr/lib/puredata/doc/1.manual/1.introduction.txt": no such file or directory03:51
holsteinmreut: what test patch?03:52
holsteinmreut: it could be that that documentation has just changed or moved.. or been phased out03:53
holsteinmreut: i would try and refer to upstream documentation03:53
mreuttest patch under "Media"->"Test Audio and MIDI..."03:54
holsteinmreut: i would just skip that, and start using it.. see if you can get it to work03:55
mreutI'll give it a wiz-bang and see what happens, normally fire that patch up first thing whenever I do a new system just to make sure everything is sane.03:56
holsteinmreut: could be the patch is gone/missing03:56
holsteinmreut: i dont think we ship it anymore.. and im not sure why03:56
mreutholstein: No dice thus far. Just running alsa at the moment.04:01
holsteinmreut: i thought it required JACK?04:01
mreutholstein: I've ran it on other systems using only alsa, though it offers support for JACK04:03
holsteinmreut: ubuntustudio ships pulse04:03
mreutholstein: Has ubuntu studio tweeked it for JACK only?04:03
mreutholstein: ahhhhhhh04:03
holsteinmreut: AFAIK, we only repackage and drop it in04:03
holsteinyou'll want to be using JACK anyway04:03
holsteinlubuntu doesnt (or didnt last i checked) ship pulse04:04
mreutbah, doesn't want to play nice with JACK either :(04:07
mreutgoing to double check everything just to make sure I didn't make any dumb moves.04:08
holsteinmreut: sure.. any errors too, feel free and share04:08
holsteinmreut: you can try #opensourcemusicians ...i just dont use it04:09
holsteingot nothing first hand to helpout04:09
mreutI'll check out that channel if things still look grim, thanks!04:09
zequencemreut: Hi. I use pure data a lot04:10
zequenceIt's purely the way debian packagers packaged it, and more or less, the way it is in original code04:10
zequencemreut: If you prefer pd-extended, you could add the "official" ppa for it04:11
zequencejust run the command:04:11
mreutI'm fine with vanilla for my needs, just need something to come out to my headphones for me to be happy.04:12
zequencesudo add-apt-repository ppa:eighthave/pd-extended && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pd-extended04:12
zequencemreut: pd uses alsa by defailt04:12
zequencemreut: Not pulseaudio04:13
zequencemreut: It can be a bit tricky, but if you want to use jack instead, just make sure to start jack first04:13
zequencemreut: A few pd releases are a bit buggy04:13
mreuthmm, when I was running xubuntu, it more or less worked right out of the box.04:13
zequencemreut: It's the same OS04:14
mreutdo things work better in ubuntu studio v13?04:14
mreutmore stable version of pd there?04:14
zequenceIt's the exact same package04:14
zequenceWhat you get with Ubuntu Studio is preconfigured low latency04:15
mreutI understand it being the same OS, which is why I'm perplexed that a fresh install doesn't provide any sound out.04:15
zequenceAll the installable software is exactly the same between all the Ubuntu flavors04:15
holsteinyou were likely using xubuntu 12.04 or something other than 13.10, and you are now on ubuntustudio 13.10.. or the other way around04:15
zequenceIt's actually exactly the same between Debian and Ubuntu. We import all the applications from Debian04:16
mreutahh ok04:16
zequence12.10 and 13.04 are certainly different04:16
mreutI was running xubuntu 13.10 previously04:17
zequenceSome core stuff is not the same04:17
zequenceUbuntu Studio uses linux-lowlatency04:17
mreutyep yep04:17
zequencelinux-lowlatency is essentially linux-generic, what Ubuntu and all the other flavors use04:18
holsteinits the versions that are so diffrent.. not the flavours so much04:18
zequenceIt's just a bit more responsive04:18
zequenceExactly04:18
holsteinthe packages in xubuntu 13.10 and ubuntustudio 13.10 will be the same.. same versions.. if they are installed in both versions04:18
holsteinthey share the same repos04:18
zequenceThey use the same repositories04:18
zequenceRight :)04:18
mreutso here is my real problem then, have an [osc~ 440]--->---[*~ 0.5]--->---[dac~]04:19
mreutno sound, set to alsa04:19
zequencemreut: That has more to do with sound setup in pd04:20
zequencemreut: I would suggest to you to drop into #datafow, which is the channel mostly used for pd04:21
mreuthuh, maybe I just don't have sound period.....04:21
mreutno sound from firefox either...04:21
zequencealsa is one of the many sound systems04:21
mreuthmmmmm04:21
zequenceWhen do you not have sound from firefox?04:21
zequenceAlways, or just sometimes?04:21
zequenceIn Ubuntu , there is a sound system called pulseaudio, which uses alsa drivers04:22
mreutbackground info: I just installed ubuntu studio about 20 min ago04:22
zequenceThere's also the pro audio server called jack, which also uses alsa drivers04:22
mreutso at this point, I haven't heard anything yet.04:22
zequenceThere's also plain alsa04:22
zequencemreut: What kind of audio device do you have?04:23
zequence!proaudio04:23
ubottuFor information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro04:23
mreutjust using headphone out on my desktop04:23
zequencemreut: Pleade read that page first :)04:23
mreutHDA Intel - VIA VT1708S04:24
zequenceIt's a regular audio device04:24
zequencehdmi out?04:24
zequenceyou said headphones, sorry04:24
mreut3.5mm hooked up to my headphones04:24
mreutalsamixer shows master level at -13.5 dB gain04:25
zequenceShould work. Just make sure all levels and options are set correctly for pulseaudio, when it comes to firefox04:25
zequenceTo test sound, please reboot the computer, and only use whatever application it is you want to use, for testing purposes04:26
zequenceLike firefox04:26
mreutI"ll reboot and see what happens04:27
mreutnada04:29
mreutis there a terminal audio test utility?04:30
holstein!info cvlc04:30
ubottuPackage cvlc does not exist in saucy04:30
holsteinvlc has cvlc which is in the terminal04:31
mreutRunning 12.04 LTS fresh install with all updates04:31
holsteinmreut: after installing vlc, running "cvlc" will run vlc in the terminal04:31
zequenceto test alsa, try aplay04:32
zequenceI forget what the pulseaudio equivalent tool is04:34
zequenceyou can basically do: aplay /path/to/myaudiofile.wav04:34
mreutnothing04:36
mreut:(04:36
zequenceI shouldn't be awake at this hour. bb later :)04:36
mreutsweet dreams04:36
zequencemreut: you probably only need to set the right output in pulseaudio controls04:36
zequencewhatever the app is called.. I forget again04:36
mreutPulse Audio Volume Control?04:37
zequenceSure04:37
mreutdoesn't look like that's the one, doesn't have anything worth mention04:38
mreutin regards to my problem04:38
mreutwondering if the updates did something to my system04:40
mreutcalling it a night04:42
mreutzzz04:43
SonikkuAmericaEureka! I think I found the answer to the whole EFI problem thus far.15:57
SonikkuAmerica(Signed image aside)15:57
SonikkuAmericaThe problem occurs with the EFI boot files being placed under the /EFI/ubuntustudio/ dir instead of /EFI/ubuntu/ in the ESP.16:01
SonikkuAmericaThe pragmatic thing to do would be to alter the default GRUB 2 config when the EFI boot files are created to look in (ESP)/EFI/ubuntustudio/ for grub.cfg , but another workaround for now is to rename the ubuntustudio folder to ubuntu16:03
SonikkuAmerica(which would also make the $prefix correct)16:04
SonikkuAmericaYo17:03
SonikkuAmerica(wrong channel)17:03
SonikkuAmericaAlso, is there a plan to set more of the standard Ubuntu settings in xfce4-settings-manager like Xubuntu?17:05
zequenceYou would be most welcome to help us out on this stuff17:37
zequenceThe plan has been for a while to base everything on existing DE's and offer the possibility to install any of them17:37
zequenceWe'd just keep our own theme17:37
zequenceThe menu also, but that's more of an application the way we package it17:38
zequenceSonikkuAmerica: ^17:38
SonikkuAmericaBe glad to...17:39
zequenceI'm a bit out of time today, but just log in to #ubuntustudio-devel, and hang out17:40
SonikkuAmericak17:40
Python673Does anyone know how to setup a Steinberg UR22 USB audio interface in Ubuntu Studio?19:34
Python673Is that a no?19:36
Patero-ngI'm in love with an anorexic girl that thinks eating is moreally wrong20:19
holsteinPatero-ng: maybe you would be more happy talking about that in #ubuntu-offtopic20:22
