| SenseiV183 | I installed 13.10 on dell inspiron M5040 laptop and touchpad doesn't work. Anyone here to walk me through? | 05:24 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | SenseiV183: sure. not sure what to walk you through | 05:25 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: basically, make sure the touchpad works in a supported operating system | 05:25 |
| SenseiV183 | I know it worked on the LTS | 05:25 |
| holstein | try the live CD and see if it works with it.. then, try looking for and applying upgrades | 05:25 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: then, try looking in the bios.. | 05:25 |
| SenseiV183 | It's enabled there | 05:26 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: you can look in lspci and/or lsusb | 05:27 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: did you look for and apply upgrades and reboot | 05:27 |
| SenseiV183 | I also had a pen tablet plugged in and a wireless keyboard + mouse dongle but the wireless mouse is lost. Those two pointing devices where on when I did the install if that makes any difference. | 05:27 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: unplug everything.. look for and apply upgrades and reboot | 05:27 |
| SenseiV183 | If I unplug everthing I don't know if I'll be able to "get around" without a pointer lol. | 05:28 |
| SenseiV183 | In Windows I know all the keyboard tricks. | 05:29 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: you can do it all from tty | 05:29 |
| holstein | !tty | 05:29 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 05:29 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:29 |
| SenseiV183 | Ok | 05:29 |
| holstein | though, you can do it with whatever you have plugged in | 05:29 |
| holstein | and *then* after updates are applied, shutdown | 05:29 |
| holstein | unplug and reboot | 05:29 |
| SenseiV183 | Ahhhh | 05:30 |
| holstein | basically.. apply possible fixes, and restart with the minimal hardware plugged in | 05:30 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: just message in here, please | 06:07 |
| SenseiV183 | is forward slash notice a priate message? | 06:08 |
| SenseiV183 | You mean don't use pastebin? | 06:08 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: just message here | 06:09 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: whats going on | 06:09 |
| holstein | ? | 06:09 |
| SenseiV183 | I put the output in the pastebin link | 06:09 |
| SenseiV183 | I thought that was proper irc way | 06:10 |
| holstein | i'll share it here? or would you like to? | 06:10 |
| holstein | well. its nothing personal, so here it is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6766163/ | 06:10 |
| holstein | what would i do? plug a mouse in and enjoy the rest of the evening | 06:11 |
| holstein | what do i suggest you do? maybe try #ubuntu.. try other live CD's.. make certain the hardware is not disabled somewhere with a keyboard shortcut | 06:11 |
| SenseiV183 | I want a touchpad working for when I want to take my laptop off the desk | 06:11 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: i hear you | 06:11 |
| SenseiV183 | It's not disabled by the fn key either. | 06:12 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: nothing about ubuntu is preventing the touchpad from being able to be supported.. and, if you say it used to work, its likely easy enough to make it work | 06:12 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: does it work from a live CD? | 06:12 |
| SenseiV183 | I didn't try it from the live cd. I was using my pen tablet | 06:12 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: how would you feel about firing up, A. the live CD you installed from.. and B. the last live CD that you say supported the device | 06:13 |
| SenseiV183 | Or maybe I did try and it didn't work. I don't remember when I noticed it doesn't work anymore, but it still works when I boot to Windows 7 | 06:13 |
| holstein | i feel B is particularly handy | 06:13 |
| holstein | sure.. but you were guaranteed windows support from the manufacturer | 06:13 |
| holstein | they are welcome to provide you linux support as well... but, i would just try the live CD's and go from there | 06:14 |
| SenseiV183 | Yeah I don't know of 13.10 supports my touchpad or not. I don't know which item in lspci is my touchpad either. | 06:14 |
| holstein | the better question is, does your hardware support 13.10? | 06:15 |
| holstein | and it seems most of it does | 06:15 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: i dont see the touchpad listed | 06:15 |
| SenseiV183 | and if it works on the live cd, then what? How to make it work on my HD installed platform? | 06:15 |
| SenseiV183 | Hmmm. | 06:15 |
| SenseiV183 | Everything else works. Even Sound! | 06:16 |
| SenseiV183 | I wouldn't have thought a laptop touchpad is a pci device. | 06:16 |
| holstein | could be in lsusb but i dont see it | 06:17 |
| SenseiV183 | me neither hmmm.. | 06:17 |
| SenseiV183 | / | 06:17 |
| SenseiV183 | I have an irc related question. When I type //notice holstein my message here. Doesn't that go to the channel for all to see? | 06:18 |
| holstein | no | 06:18 |
| holstein | you can hilight me here | 06:18 |
| holstein | "h" or "hol" and hit "tab" key | 06:19 |
| SenseiV183 | How to highlight? | 06:19 |
| holstein | then you get my nick.. | 06:19 |
| holstein | i see what you were doing | 06:19 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: i didnt mean to be agro about it.. i though you were "up to something" ;) | 06:19 |
| SenseiV183 | lol. No. | 06:20 |
| SenseiV183 | Just up to getting help from the community. And learning irc ropes along the way. | 06:20 |
| SenseiV183 | Thanks for the TAB trick! | 06:20 |
| SenseiV183 | makes life easy. | 06:20 |
| holstein | yup.. that works in the command line as well | 06:21 |
| SenseiV183 | So if I type out a full nick I just put the comma that the tab key puts thier and a comma after a nick will highlight? | 06:21 |
| SenseiV183 | there | 06:21 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: depends on how the user has it setup.. i can ask for hilights.. but, any mention of holstein will hilight me | 06:22 |
| SenseiV183 | Autocomplete command line cool. | 06:22 |
| SenseiV183 | Ok. | 06:22 |
| holstein | /q or /query is for a PM.. private message | 06:22 |
| SenseiV183 | I'm using the Xchat and I like it. | 06:22 |
| holstein | yeah.. i liked xchat a lot too | 06:23 |
| holstein | its well supported and clean | 06:23 |
| SenseiV183 | Is there a way to print the channel window to a printer? | 06:23 |
| SenseiV183 | without copy paste to text editor? | 06:24 |
| holstein | you can always print screen, or c/p ^ | 06:24 |
| holstein | not sure what irc clients print.. ive never tried it | 06:24 |
| holstein | always just copy and pasted | 06:24 |
| SenseiV183 | Anyone know any tricks to boost blender performance on Saucy? | 06:30 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: graphics driver | 06:30 |
| holstein | !ati | SenseiV183 | 06:30 |
| ubottu | SenseiV183: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 06:30 |
| holstein | if there is a proprietar option.. if not, then you wont boost it much | 06:31 |
| holstein | proprietary* | 06:31 |
| SenseiV183 | what command can I type to see what driver I have now? | 06:31 |
| SenseiV183 | maybe the answer is in the link duh. I'll look at it first. | 06:32 |
| holstein | lspci -k might help | 06:32 |
| holstein | SenseiV183: im out.. if it gets too quiet for you, try #ubuntu.. or #xubuntu.. hope to catch up with you again soon.. | 06:33 |
| SenseiV183 | holstein, Thanks. Peace out | 06:34 |
| delt | Turns out it's a BUG in lightdm (doesn't obey ~/.lightdm) :/ | 07:13 |
| delt | Turns out it's a BUG in lightdm (doesn't obey ~/.dmrc) :/ | 07:14 |
| delt | (sry about that first one) | 07:15 |
| Unit193 | And /var/cache/lightdm/dmrc/ ? | 07:16 |
| delt | also doesn't work, at least deleting a user | 07:17 |
| delt | also doesn't work, at least deleting a user's file and logging in again -> same session | 07:17 |
| delt | sry, keyboard | 07:17 |
| Unit193 | Select a different session? | 07:17 |
| Unit193 | What are you trying to do? | 07:18 |
| delt | yeah, but i'm wondering how to select the default autologin session from a startup script. | 07:18 |
| delt | ie rc.local | 07:18 |
| delt | so that even if i futz around with other desktops, after rebooting it always comes back to my good old xfce (session name ubuntustudio) | 07:19 |
| delt | ...or if i forget to set it in the little menu in the upper right | 07:21 |
| Unit193 | /var/lib/AccountsService/users/unit193 | 07:29 |
| Unit193 | Err, well you get it. | 07:29 |
| delt | aha, got it :D | 07:29 |
| Unit193 | dmrc is a fallback, not main. | 07:30 |
| delt | let's test.... | 07:32 |
| delt | nope... weird thing is, it autologged into other desktop (unity) but after logging out, ubuntustudio was selected by default at the login screen | 07:36 |
| SenseiV183 | I got errors installing driver from AMD http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6766491/ | 07:53 |
| SenseiV183 | I'm afraid to reboot or shutdown now <G> | 07:54 |
| oslt | I have lots of trouble with jackd and sound. Is it safe to remove jack-d and qjackctl frome the system? | 15:22 |
| oslt | and reinstall them? | 15:22 |
| holstein | oslt: sure | 15:24 |
| holstein | oslt: you should be able to just reinstall without removing them | 15:24 |
| cub | oslt, why do you think that will resolve the issues? Or do you just want to set everything backto default? | 15:24 |
| oslt | That didn't work. | 15:24 |
| cub | ah holstein is already on it. I leave it to you. :P | 15:24 |
| holstein | oslt: well, you are assuming that it will work | 15:25 |
| holstein | cub: hey!.. go for it :) | 15:25 |
| oslt | Setting everything to default, might solve the problem. | 15:25 |
| cub | haha no you are way more experienced when it comes to audio | 15:25 |
| oslt | But there are config files. | 15:25 |
| oslt | Two days ago everything was running well. | 15:25 |
| holstein | oslt: what triggered it? | 15:25 |
| oslt | Shit for audio :-) | 15:26 |
| oslt | holstein: I really don't have any idea. Jackd seems to be running. | 15:26 |
| holstein | oslt: i dont understand, and try and keep the language clean.. what im looking for is "i upgraded the kernel and.." | 15:26 |
| oslt | Maybe it is running twice. I only installed libreoffice 32 bit on 64 bit. | 15:27 |
| oslt | The software is working. | 15:27 |
| holstein | oslt: what software is "working"? jack? | 15:27 |
| oslt | No upgrade, fres install half a week ago. | 15:27 |
| oslt | LibreOffice, I only wanted to tell what I did meanwhile. I was asked. | 15:28 |
| oslt | Jack does not work. | 15:28 |
| holstein | oslt: i would run a live CD to try and determine the hardware is funtioning properly and remove my hard drive and installed os from the equation | 15:28 |
| holstein | i would look at and share the output of the jack messages window | 15:29 |
| oslt | holstein: I open Jack control and get this message. | 15:31 |
| oslt | http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/150M | 15:31 |
| holstein | oslt: i use qjackctl | 15:32 |
| holstein | oslt: i open it, then click start to start.. i do that *before* opening any apps that might try and start jack on their own | 15:32 |
| oslt | then i start. | 15:32 |
| oslt | Okay qcackctl, i meant. | 15:32 |
| oslt | http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/150N | 15:32 |
| holstein | also, the audio labels can change | 15:32 |
| holstein | they can jump.. if you have an external card you are using | 15:32 |
| oslt | holstein: I know. | 15:32 |
| holstein | oslt: so, make certain you are choosing the proper device | 15:33 |
| oslt | It is right. It is my usb audio-interface. | 15:33 |
| holstein | oslt: doulbe check | 15:33 |
| holstein | oslt: remove the usb interface and test with the internal card | 15:33 |
| oslt | okay | 15:34 |
| oslt | holstein: I plugged of the audio interface and chose the internal soundcard. Same sitauation. | 15:43 |
| oslt | holstein: And now. What do you guess? | 15:51 |
| cub | I think holstein had to leave for a while. I'm also off, leaving work. Maybe someone will jump in, otherwise hang around and people will pick up later on again. | 15:58 |
| cub | oslt, ^ | 15:59 |
| oslt | cub: Thank you. | 15:59 |
| holstein | oslt: how does it work with a live CD? | 17:01 |
| holstein | oslt: also, i'll run "gksudo qjackctl" *temporarily*, to troubleshoot permissions | 17:02 |
| oslt | holstein: okay I need a few minutes to check this out. | 17:02 |
| holstein | oslt: you can try removing the saved xsessions for xfce | 17:02 |
| oslt | gksudo no better | 17:07 |
| oslt | How to remove? | 17:07 |
| holstein | oslt: are you certain jack is not running in the background? | 17:07 |
| holstein | oslt: remove what? | 17:07 |
| oslt | xsession errors | 17:07 |
| oslt | I am not sure that jack is not already running. | 17:07 |
| holstein | oslt: comfirm that its not | 17:08 |
| holstein | oslt: im talking about the saved xsessions.. nothing about errors | 17:08 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/111010/how-do-i-remove-some-sessions-from-the-session-list-in-xubuntu | 17:08 |
| oslt | In task manager there is still jackdbus auto | 17:08 |
| holstein | oslt: i run "ps aux | grep jack" and kill whatever is running that shouldnt be | 17:09 |
| oslt | qjackctl is terminated | 17:09 |
| holstein | oslt: qjackctl is just a GUI | 17:09 |
| holstein | oslt: qjackctl is just a tool to configure and start jack | 17:09 |
| oslt | I know, but if terminated jackd shoul stop too!? | 17:10 |
| holstein | oslt: no | 17:10 |
| holstein | oslt: if you stop it with the gui, and it stops cleanly.. otherwise, it does what it does | 17:10 |
| oslt | Is then jack running all the time? | 17:10 |
| holstein | oslt: i dont know what is doing what when | 17:10 |
| oslt | okay | 17:11 |
| holstein | oslt: i know my system and set up.. nothing runs automatically or in the background | 17:11 |
| holstein | if i think it is, i use "ps aux | grep jack" to check, and kill it | 17:11 |
| oslt | Is "jackdbus auto" a running instance of jack. | 17:11 |
| oslt | ? | 17:11 |
| oslt | This I have in the task manager. | 17:11 |
| oslt | Mybe thre is something double? | 17:12 |
| holstein | oslt: i have no idea how you have configured it | 17:12 |
| holstein | oslt: i use "ps aux" in the terminal to see what is running, and kill what i dont want running | 17:13 |
| holstein | oslt: if you saved the x session on shutdown or logout once, that could be trying to start jack and breaking it | 17:13 |
| holstein | oslt: i would kill jackdbus and test | 17:13 |
| oslt | http://pastie.org/8642875 | 17:14 |
| oslt | Okay I haven't killed already. | 17:15 |
| oslt | Sorry howto kill command | 17:16 |
| oslt | kill -all jackdbus? | 17:16 |
| holstein | oslt: i refer to the PID and kill, or do whatever it takes.. | 17:17 |
| oslt | okay | 17:17 |
| oslt | Sorry, this is the right pastie http://pastie.org/8642886 | 17:20 |
| oslt | Okay I do killall -9 jackd | 17:21 |
| zequence | oslt: Just to be sure, kill both jackd and jackdbus | 17:21 |
| oslt | no process found | 17:21 |
| oslt | okay | 17:21 |
| oslt | Operation not allowed for killall -9 jackdbus | 17:22 |
| holstein | oslt: i just do whatever it takes to make sure nothing is runing that can cause problems | 17:24 |
| oslt | Result of ps aux | grep jack | 17:24 |
| oslt | ishttp://pastie.org/8642894 | 17:24 |
| holstein | oslt: sudo kill whatever | 17:24 |
| oslt | okay sudo | 17:24 |
| zequence | oslt: have you started processes as root? | 17:24 |
| holstein | oslt: i wouldnt over think it.. since, we dont know that its the issue anyways | 17:24 |
| holstein | oslt: you havent tried removing saved sessions.. | 17:24 |
| holstein | i would try something... then move on if you cant get it.. i mean, realistically, it takes less than 10 minutes to reinstall | 17:25 |
| oslt | I reinstalled my system three times during 10 days for different reasons. | 17:26 |
| holstein | oslt: ok.. any of those reasons hardware failure related? that can cause issues like what you are seesing | 17:27 |
| zequence | oslt: Were you able to kill jackdbus? | 17:27 |
| oslt | zequence: No process is found. | 17:31 |
| oslt | wait | 17:31 |
| oslt | Yes: Thats the reply. | 17:31 |
| oslt | I am not able to come through howto delete xsessions. | 17:32 |
| holstein | oslt: http://askubuntu.com/questions/111010/how-do-i-remove-some-sessions-from-the-session-list-in-xubuntu | 17:32 |
| oslt | holstein: *In session tab, Click 'Clear saved session' | 17:33 |
| oslt | There is no such tab. | 17:33 |
| oslt | The other tutorial is to difficult for me. | 17:35 |
| oslt | part of | 17:35 |
| oslt | I go very confused, seems to difficult. | 17:36 |
| oslt | Thanks to all. I quit and think over it. | 17:38 |
| oslt | get bulimia meanwhile ;-) | 17:38 |
| zequence | oslt: If no process if found, then there's no process anymore | 17:38 |
| zequence | oslt: Now, I'd like to see what devices you have | 17:38 |
| zequence | oslt: this command, paste somehwere: cat /proc/asound/cards | 17:38 |
| oslt | hw:3 is usb audio device | 17:39 |
| zequence | ok, so try jackd with hw:3 now: jackd -d alsa -d hw:3 | 17:39 |
| oslt | hw:0 is internal sound card | 17:39 |
| zequence | does jack start with the internal, but not with the usb device? | 17:39 |
| holstein | oslt: you cant assume those labels. i would unplug the USB one, and reboot, and use *only* the internal to troubleshoot this | 17:40 |
| holstein | those labels can change | 17:40 |
| zequence | right, the order of the cards may change at each boot | 17:40 |
| oslt | I know, but I checked in qjaclctl | 17:40 |
| zequence | oslt: So, try jackd now. And tell us, does your internal card work? does your usb device work? | 17:41 |
| zequence | try jackd from the command line | 17:41 |
| zequence | not using qjackctl | 17:41 |
| holstein | oslt: ok.. but what would i do? reduce variables by only having one device.. so im not testing "is my jack configuration correct?" and "is jack functioning" at the same time | 17:41 |
| oslt | http://pastie.org/8642948 | 17:41 |
| oslt | I already did, switched off audio interface. It is working neither. | 17:41 |
| zequence | already did, when? | 17:41 |
| zequence | now? | 17:42 |
| holstein | oslt: you are referring to 2 devices | 17:42 |
| zequence | please just do as I say | 17:42 |
| oslt | Wow Audacious is running with Jack | 17:42 |
| oslt | zequence I did. | 17:42 |
| zequence | ok, you are not following my instructions. Impossible to know what is going on | 17:43 |
| oslt | and I posted the result: http://pastie.org/8642948 | 17:43 |
| holstein | oslt: you should not be running *anything*, as i said, in the background that will try and auto start jack | 17:43 |
| zequence | I have a problem with internet it seems. Can't load pages right now. bbl | 17:43 |
| holstein | what would i do? remove my saved xsessions. remove the USB device.. reboot.. open *nothing* but qjackctl and a terminal | 17:44 |
| oslt | holstein: Sorry I dealed with zequence. | 17:44 |
| holstein | oslt: i dont see where *anyone* said to start audacious.. | 17:44 |
| oslt | okay | 17:45 |
| oslt | I stopped. | 17:45 |
| oslt | Next? | 17:45 |
| holstein | oslt: sure.. but, not you have to kill jack again | 17:45 |
| holstein | oslt: you have to check for jack running again.. and *not* open anything | 17:45 |
| oslt | okay | 17:45 |
| holstein | oslt: have you removed the xsessions? have you unplugged the USB device? | 17:45 |
| zequence | ok. back | 17:46 |
| zequence | oslt: Ok, so determined from the output from your jackd command, your device is working fine | 17:46 |
| oslt | okay it is killed | 17:47 |
| zequence | oslt: If you are unsure about qjackctl configs, you could delete (reset) them, and start it over | 17:47 |
| zequence | oslt: Also, remember always to start jack with whatever jack control application you use before starting any jack applications | 17:47 |
| zequence | some will start jackd by default | 17:47 |
| oslt | holstein: I do not know howto remove. | 17:47 |
| oslt | holstein: I don't want to manipulate system files. | 17:48 |
| holstein | oslt: ok.. then, consider reinstallation if a live CD seems to support the hardware as you expect | 17:48 |
| zequence | oslt: qjackctl configs are in ~/.config/rncbc.org/QjackCtl.conf | 17:48 |
| holstein | oslt: you will need to manipulate things in order to troubleshoot and "fix" | 17:49 |
| zequence | to remove, just do: rm ~/.config/rncbc.org/QjackCtl.conf | 17:49 |
| oslt | holstein okay | 17:49 |
| zequence | at least we can determine there is nothing wrong with jack starting your device | 17:49 |
| oslt | zequence I removed iQjackCtl.conf. Yes that's great. | 17:50 |
| zequence | it happens sometimes that the qjackctl config gets corrupted | 17:51 |
| oslt | okay | 17:51 |
| oslt | oslt: But it is good, watching jack working together with audacious, at least. | 17:51 |
| oslt | zequence: Now start qjackctl again? | 17:51 |
| zequence | oslt: first, close all jack applications, and kill jack | 17:52 |
| oslt | okay | 17:52 |
| zequence | then, start qjackctl, start jack, then start jack applications | 17:52 |
| oslt | qjackctl is running, and now? | 17:54 |
| holstein | oslt: what i read is, start jack applications | 17:54 |
| holstein | oslt: above, zequence states.. start qjackctl.. you have done that? | 17:54 |
| oslt | holstein: yes | 17:55 |
| holstein | then, start jack using qjackctl. you have said "is running".. so, is that JACK? or qjackctl? | 17:55 |
| oslt | qjackctl | 17:55 |
| holstein | oslt: if its just qjackctl, then you will start jack.. *then* open jack applications | 17:55 |
| holstein | oslt: qjackctl is *not* jack.. its just a way to manage and start it.. and stop it | 17:55 |
| oslt | holstein: I know. But I am not sure if jack is really running, by activating qjackctl. | 17:56 |
| holstein | so.. if you havent used qjackctl to start jack, use it to start jack by pressing the "Start" button.. *then*, open jack applications such as audacious | 17:56 |
| holstein | oslt: i am | 17:56 |
| holstein | oslt: its not, if you didnt start it using the tool | 17:56 |
| oslt | holstein: Yeah | 17:56 |
| holstein | oslt: it has a button that is labled "start".. and "stop" | 17:56 |
| holstein | oslt: you can click it to start jack | 17:56 |
| oslt | Audacious is working. Guess with Jack. | 17:57 |
| holstein | oslt: you start audacious *after* starting jack | 17:57 |
| oslt | Yes | 17:57 |
| oslt | I give ardour a tiral, okay? | 17:57 |
| holstein | i wouldnt jump right to ardour from here.. but, do what you like | 17:58 |
| oslt | Yes and ardour is working. Seems that killing jack and then deleting confiugration file was right. | 17:59 |
| holstein | oslt: you removed the config file for qjackctl | 17:59 |
| oslt | Yes like zequence told me | 17:59 |
| oslt | rm ~/.config/rncbc.org/QjackCtl.conf | 18:00 |
| zequence | qjackctl has its own configuration, but when you make settings with it, it will also write settings for both jackd and jackdbus | 18:00 |
| holstein | oslt: im just stating what you did.. you didnt remove a config for jack.. it was for qjackctl | 18:01 |
| oslt | I don't know, but now it seems to be working: why? | 18:01 |
| oslt | killing jackd with sudo? | 18:01 |
| zequence | perhaps you started it as root? | 18:02 |
| oslt | No | 18:02 |
| holstein | oslt: you removed the config for qjackctl that had some settings that were causing issues | 18:02 |
| oslt | Yes, I guess. | 18:02 |
| holstein | oslt: ? you did that, and it worked.. so, thats pretty much a correlation for me | 18:03 |
| oslt | Luv u all. | 18:03 |
| oslt | I hope it will stay for a while. | 18:04 |
| holstein | oslt: "hope" is not something that effects hardware or software.. | 18:04 |
| oslt | Hope 2 | 18:05 |
| oslt | Thanks a lot. | 18:06 |
| oslt | I must walk the dog. | 18:06 |
| zequence | say hello to it from me | 18:14 |
| rhizo | hi folks | 19:19 |
| rhizo | I just installed ubuntu studio 13.10 and configured my soundcards with jack | 19:20 |
| rhizo | with patchage I tried to connect my midi keyboard to a preinstalled synth, hexter | 19:23 |
| rhizo | but i could not play any software synth with my midi keyboard. I also tried a different drumpad midi controller, nothing happened | 19:25 |
| rhizo | when i hit "send test note" in hexter, I can hear sound | 19:25 |
| rhizo | should I try midi routing with another application or has anyone an idea why this happens? | 19:26 |
| rhizo | with hm, with virtual midi keyboard i can send notes | 19:34 |
| rhizo | oh, sorry, I was on the wrong channel with my hardware devices... | 19:38 |
| joeblow89237 | HI | 19:56 |
| joeblow89237 | HI? | 19:57 |
| joeblow89237 | i have A LOT of questions | 19:58 |
| rhizo | Hi | 19:58 |
| joeblow89237 | yeaaah | 19:59 |
| joeblow89237 | so a lot of WEIRD things happened to me while I was discovering Ubuntu Studio | 19:59 |
| joeblow89237 | btw excuse my english it may be broken | 19:59 |
| joeblow89237 | and Im wondering if you guys could maybe, either explain what the hell is going or teach me a few things | 20:00 |
| joeblow89237 | or actually I need to learn a lot | 20:00 |
| rhizo | what's the weird things? | 20:00 |
| joeblow89237 | like someone is in my fucking computer | 20:01 |
| joeblow89237 | oops sorry | 20:01 |
| joeblow89237 | for the swear | 20:01 |
| joeblow89237 | I GUESS | 20:01 |
| joeblow89237 | maybee im just PARANOID | 20:01 |
| joeblow89237 | no? | 20:02 |
| joeblow89237 | the thing is most of the time I had no internet connection | 20:03 |
| joeblow89237 | ALSO ID like to know if theres a more precise pitch shifter DSP for audacious | 20:05 |
| joeblow89237 | pitch changer | 20:05 |
| joeblow89237 | i'm freaking out... | 20:07 |
| joeblow89237 | oh man | 20:09 |
| joeblow89237 | :( | 20:10 |
| joeblow89237 | when do you people get your free time? | 20:11 |
| joeblow89237 | awwwwwwwh | 20:18 |
| rhizo | maybe the vocproc lv2 plugin is something for you... | 20:18 |
| joeblow89237 | rhizo what do you do here? | 20:19 |
| joeblow89237 | how would I use this plugin with audacious | 20:21 |
| rhizo | Just hanging around, I installed Ubuntu Studio and was too dizzy to realize that I have set my midi controllers on different channels and I wondered why I could not play soft synths | 20:21 |
| joeblow89237 | ah | 20:21 |
| joeblow89237 | ok | 20:21 |
| joeblow89237 | do you know how you umn | 20:21 |
| joeblow89237 | pass all audio onto jack | 20:21 |
| joeblow89237 | instead of pulseaudio | 20:21 |
| joeblow89237 | like have jack used as default | 20:22 |
| joeblow89237 | for everything when you start up ubuntu studio | 20:22 |
| rhizo | On a different installation I used zita-ajbridge to have it bridged | 20:24 |
| joeblow89237 | mmhhh | 20:25 |
| joeblow89237 | zita-ajbridge | 20:25 |
| joeblow89237 | whats that? | 20:25 |
| rhizo | if you want to have some audio output from programs that do not have jack output in jack | 20:26 |
| joeblow89237 | alright | 20:26 |
| rhizo | it is a sound bridge | 20:26 |
| joeblow89237 | is it easy to use? | 20:26 |
| rhizo | I think so | 20:27 |
| joeblow89237 | can I simply install it with apt-get ? | 20:27 |
| rhizo | just install and run it and the programs should appear in patchage for example | 20:28 |
| joeblow89237 | alrightt uhhh | 20:28 |
| joeblow89237 | mmhh im not on ubuntu studio right now | 20:28 |
| rhizo | yes, the name of the package is zita-ajbridge | 20:28 |
| rhizo | then write it down *g* | 20:29 |
| joeblow89237 | yeah already done | 20:29 |
| joeblow89237 | i was just wondering how it works | 20:29 |
| joeblow89237 | oh yeah and when I use vlc with jack I get problem with channels | 20:30 |
| rhizo | Do you have stereo or 5.1? | 20:32 |
| joeblow89237 | I have stereo | 20:32 |
| joeblow89237 | but yeah it kinda feels like im getting channels from a 5.1 | 20:33 |
| rhizo | I think you can set it up in vlc to have stereo downmix | 20:33 |
| joeblow89237 | yeah but I searched for it | 20:33 |
| joeblow89237 | cant find it | 20:33 |
| rhizo | I have a look... | 20:34 |
| rhizo | try to deactivate the dolby surround option under options, audio... | 20:43 |
| joeblow89237 | I remember doing it | 20:48 |
| joeblow89237 | did not help | 20:48 |
| joeblow89237 | anyway | 20:48 |
| joeblow89237 | hi... | 21:11 |
| joeblow89237 | is anyone here? | 21:11 |
| rhizo | sure | 21:15 |
| rhizo | nice, with my ubuntu studio installation all my midi timing issues are gone | 21:16 |
| joeblow89237 | yeah | 21:19 |
| joeblow89237 | i dont know why you would use anything else than this kernel | 21:19 |
| joeblow89237 | or one that works like it | 21:20 |
| rhizo | and there are cool things in the repos that are new to me... | 21:26 |
| joeblow89237 | yeah | 21:33 |
| joeblow89237 | ok | 21:33 |
| joeblow89237 | is anyone here working on ubuntu studio? | 21:33 |
| joeblow89237 | that could tell me how I could have a minimal installation of it | 21:33 |
| joeblow89237 | or at least | 21:33 |
| joeblow89237 | without the photo editing stuff | 21:33 |
| joeblow89237 | or how to modify a kernel | 21:34 |
| joeblow89237 | so it becomes uuh low latency | 21:34 |
| joeblow89237 | I have no knowledge... | 21:34 |
| joeblow89237 | ok | 21:49 |
| joeblow89237 | um | 21:49 |
| joeblow89237 | hello? | 22:01 |
| cub | joeblow89237, if you have installed Ubuntu Studio you already have the lowlatency kernel, no need to modify it. | 22:25 |
| cub | You can choose at boot to run with the standard kernel, but usually you start with lowlatency | 22:26 |
| cub | joeblow89237, as for removing the photo editing applications I think you can remove the ubuntustudio-graphics package. I haven't tried it myself so don't take my word for it ... | 22:30 |
| joeblow89237 | um | 22:39 |
| joeblow89237 | yeah but lets say I want to use another distro | 22:39 |
| joeblow89237 | with a low latency kernel | 22:39 |
| joeblow89237 | like debian | 22:39 |
| joeblow89237 | because I don't know, it's lighter | 22:39 |
| joeblow89237 | no? | 23:08 |
| joeblow89237 | alllriigghhtt... | 23:08 |
| joeblow89237 | no one? | 23:08 |
