[03:24] <rau> hello all
[03:24] <Unit193> Howdy.
[03:25] <rau> i just installes Ubuntu Studio
[03:25] <rau> installed*
[03:25] <rau> :)
[03:29] <fibz_> enjoy
[03:30] <fibz_> today i was working on win7 ultimate with adobe creative suite 6 and ended up needing ubuntu studio instead
[03:31] <fibz_> both windows and photoshop were incable of creating an icon file without internet connection
[06:51] <onaxis> when i download someting with firefox and do right click on top right arrow  where download progress is, when i choose "open containing folder" it opens audacious!!
[06:52] <cfhowlett> onaxis, you can change the default behavior - right click>properties>open with
[06:53] <onaxis> maybe i was not clear. i can't change the behaviour of firefox
[06:55] <cfhowlett> onaxis, firefox defaults can be edited as well
[06:56] <onaxis> is there any way to send you a prtscn to help me?
[06:56] <cfhowlett> onaxis, if the address bar: about:config    then ctrl-f to search for audacity.  change that to setting to thunar or nautilus
[07:02] <onaxis> @cfhowlett i don't get it really, sorry to bother you.
[07:02] <cfhowlett> onaxis, wait one
[07:08] <cfhowlett> onaxis, http://imagebin.org/293275
[07:15] <onaxis> oh my god, still nothing... http://imagebin.org/293278 if i press the top right opens audacious
[07:16] <cfhowlett> onaxis, nuke and rebuild your firefox files
[07:17] <onaxis> ok, many thanks man. thanks for ur time
[07:17] <cfhowlett> onaxis, display hidden files in your file manager, find .mozilla, delete and restart firefox
[15:05] <inahd> hmm, it seems pretty slow in here. i wonder how the ubuntustudio developement has been going?
[15:11] <inahd> alright, rebooting to ubuntustudio!
[15:51] <parweez> please help me to fix sound issue on ubuntu studio
[16:11] <inahd> i am suprised to find that my wireless card is not automatically recognized
[16:12] <inahd> i sort of figured that an ubuntu based distro would have had this worked out...
[16:21] <holstein> lol
[16:21] <holstein> one should be surprised that a wifi device manufacturer hasnt figured out how to support ubuntu by now
[16:39] <inahd> well, ubuntustudio sees my usb wireless dongle, but doesn't recognize pci
[16:40] <holstein> inahd: ok
[16:40] <holstein> inahd: think of it this way.. a manufacturer can choose to support ubuntu.. but, many dont
[16:40] <inahd> true
[16:40] <holstein> acutally, many *do*.. there are a minority that dont
[16:40] <holstein> !wifi
[16:40] <holstein> its likely a broadcom chip.. and early one
[16:41] <holstein> !broadcom
[16:41] <inahd> i believe bcm4321
[16:41] <holstein> you install the module that the manufacturer doesnt allow ubuntu to provide you by default, and it'll work
[16:41] <inahd> ahh
[16:41] <inahd> and must i blacklist etc?
[16:42] <inahd> i swear, some of these things my mind refuses to grasp even after doing them so many times
[16:42] <inahd> it makes me feel so stupid!
[16:44] <holstein> inahd: no
[16:44] <holstein> inahd:  you must install the module that supports your device
[16:44] <inahd> ok cool, i am on it
[16:44] <holstein> inahd: typically as simple as "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source"
[16:46] <inahd> i guess unofficial distros can get away with loading proprietary drivers and such into their software?
[16:46] <inahd> or something
[16:49] <holstein> inahd: you can "get away" with what you like
[16:49] <holstein> inahd: if you want to make a distro with that module, and break the licesing agreements, you can
[16:49] <inahd> oh i see
[16:50] <inahd> but maybe they will sue you for million dollars
[16:51] <holstein> inahd: maybe.. thats why its not in ubuntu
[16:52] <inahd> its annoying, i think stuff like that is like most of the reason people find linux intimidating
[16:53] <holstein> inahd: yeah?
[16:53] <holstein> inahd: it has nothing to do with linux
[16:53] <inahd> exactly!
[16:53] <inahd> but nonetheless, what can ya do??
[16:53] <holstein> inahd: any company is always welcome and encouaged to make drivers available. they only need to make the info available
[16:54] <inahd> would it break the licensing agreement to have a sceen during installation that would point to proprietary drivers and have the users click an agreement to take responsibility for installing them?
[16:55] <holstein> inahd: again, thats asking linux to sovle a problem that is not a linux probem
[16:55] <holstein> problem*
[16:56] <inahd> still, getting the internet to work right for people would make it a lot easier to promote linux
[16:57] <holstein> inahd: sure.. and we can address ther manufacturers.. and are
[16:57] <inahd> yes that's fair...
[16:59] <inahd> maybe even just a text file on the desktop that would educate people on getting their internet set up
[17:00] <inahd> looking at it from the perspective of a new user, anything like that would make a big difference.
[17:00] <holstein> sure.. but its different per hardware, and folks would need to read it
[17:01] <inahd> hehe
[17:02] <inahd> i always wanted to see a 'learnux' distro, that would teach you how to do everything
[17:07] <inahd> i guess i need to reboot to activate broadcom-sta
[17:08] <inahd> going down...
[17:10] <inahd_> ah very nice
[17:11] <inahd_> perhaps a .txt could be generated for someone based on detected hardware, etc?
[17:11] <inahd_> that would tell them what needed to be done
[17:15] <inahd> i must say, ubuntustudio seems much richer than the last time i used it
[17:15] <inahd> as far as preinstalled programs
[19:28] <SafariMonkey> So... I'm having a hard time getting recording to work through pavucontrol. I've tried VSXu (the one I'm trying to get working), audacity, sound recorder... recording doesn't work. Changing playback settings works though. This is not in studio as such, but as it's audio related, I was directed here.
[20:00] <SafariMonkey> Anyone?
[20:25] <inahd> um, SafariMonkey  what are you recording through?
[20:26] <SafariMonkey> inahd, Wanting to use soundcard output
[20:26] <SafariMonkey> tried an external USB mic too
[20:27] <inahd> you may try adjusting sound through another mixer
[20:27] <inahd> i always need to mess with mudita24 for recording
[20:27] <inahd> i guess it depends on your soundcard
[20:30] <SafariMonkey> inahd, I'll try it
[20:31] <SafariMonkey> Do I need to do anything to free the pipeline for mudita24 to work, inahd?
[20:31] <inahd> well i use mudita because i have the ice1712 soundcard
[20:31] <SafariMonkey> Ah OK
[20:32] <inahd> i also am recording through jack
[20:32] <SafariMonkey> http://pastebin.com/sRT8BSks
[20:33] <SafariMonkey> inahd, ^
[20:34] <inahd> what distro are you using anyways?
[20:35] <inahd> #opensourcemusicians is a more general audio related channel *hint*
[20:36] <inahd> lots of smart people there
[20:36] <SafariMonkey> I'm on 12.04
[20:36] <SafariMonkey> And thanks, I'll post there too
[20:37] <SafariMonkey> Thanks for the help inahd!
[20:38] <inahd> i do try
