=== GridCube_ is now known as GridCube
holsteindelt: those are outputs.. and not for proaudio, regardless01:36
holsteinthe impedance is for consumer audio equipment..01:36
holsteindelt: personally, i avoid gear that doesnt have balanced connections.. im not saying you cant get "good" sound without a balance connection, but, a piece of gear with connections like that is trying to address a certain work flow01:45
Guest68684some musician here ?04:00
Unit193What's the question?04:00
holsteinyes..04:00
* holstein is a musician.. what do you need Guest68684 ?04:02
Guest68684well i have a nano 2 keys midi controller but only works with lmms no ardour, rosegarden or Qtractor , i have ubuntu studio 1404:02
holsteinGuest68684: routing, likely04:02
holsteinGuest68684: if it works with anything, then, it works with the system04:03
Guest68684i routed but no way04:03
holsteinGuest68684: you do *not* need a musician for this question04:03
holsteinGuest68684: you need someone familiar with MIDI04:03
holsteinGuest68684: you routed in JACK? how, precisely?04:03
Guest68684i'm a por musician very known  i know midi since it appears04:03
Guest68684yes04:04
holsteinGuest68684: sure.. but this is *not* the same as the MIDI you and i have used04:04
Guest68684i think it the controller because drivers04:04
holsteinGuest68684: no04:04
holsteinGuest68684: if it were "controller because of drivers" it wouldnt work04:05
holsteinGuest68684: you state it is working.. correct?04:05
Guest68684yes04:05
Guest68684nano works very well in wine04:05
holsteinGuest68684: ok.. then, *how* are you routing? with JACK?04:05
Guest68684q software04:05
holsteinGuest68684: q software?04:06
Guest68684qjack04:06
holsteincorrect... you are routing in JACK? JACK is running?04:06

ubottuFor information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro04:06
Guest68684yes but messages always very weird and diferents04:07
holsteinGuest68684: ^ have you read that?04:07
holsteinGuest68684: what messages?04:07
Guest68684yes04:07
holsteinGuest68684: from where?04:07
holsteinGuest68684: so, are yuo running jack?04:07
Guest68684i post my problem there too04:07
holsteinGuest68684: where?04:07
Guest68684many of them are diferents04:07
holsteinGuest68684: the link i gave is a wiki page with information.. you dont post there04:08
holsteinGuest68684: them what?04:08
Guest68684in LMMS nano works very well using jack instead of alsa04:08
holsteinGuest68684: sure.. when you are running JACK, you need to configure applications to use JACK04:09
Guest68684in qtractor i used fluidsynth sf2 but also do not conect keyboard04:09
holsteinGuest68684: ok.. *dont* do that04:09
holsteinGuest68684: you have too many variables04:09
holsteinGuest68684: please do the following04:09
holstein1. see that JACK is running..04:09
holstein2. open yoshimi04:10
holstein3. use the virtual keyboard in the menu to insure that yoshimi is making sound, and routed properly for audio connections in JACK04:10
Guest68684ok04:10
Guest68684yoshimi do not open04:11
holstein4. *then* move on to the midi connection of the nano to the application yoshimi *after* you have sound04:11
Guest68684ok04:11
holsteinyou may need to use a2jmidid to make the nano connect to yoshimi in the same tab in JACK.. *this* step can be why you are unable to make the connectsion04:11
holsteinconnections*04:11
holsteinGuest68684: "yoshimi do not open" is not a question04:12
Guest68684a2jmidid i have to install it?04:12
holsteinGuest68684: you'll need to install it if you dont have it.. you dont "have to" do *anything*..04:13
Guest68684i tell you i try to open yoshimi, and it doesn't open04:13
holsteinGuest68684: sure.. thats *still* not a question, though04:14
holsteinGuest68684: you can try "zynaddsubfx"04:14
Guest68684ok04:15
Guest68684thanks i will do your advice see you04:15
holsteinwell.. that happened04:16
deltHello06:31
deltMy laptop screen shuts itself off when i close the laptop lid, and there's no way to get it back on except to change console, or reboot06:31
delteven xrandr --auto, or xset dpms force on don't do it06:31
zequencedelt: There was a post about that on the mail list. Seems like installing pm-utils solves it07:14
zequenceWe haven't yet had a chance to test it and fix it. Should be fixed within a month or less.07:14
=== tatie is now known as gregor3000
deltzequence: using the nouveau drivers, pm-utils doesn't fix it :(07:26
delt(installed it, logged out and back in)07:26
deltnow testing with the propriertary nvidia driver07:26
deltzequence: also doesn't work with the proprietary nvidia driver07:31
zequencedelt: I will be taking a look at that, once I have time. If you happen to find a solution before I do, please let me know. I would appreciate it07:35
deltzequence: looking at http://askubuntu.com/questions/248967/laptop-screen-stays-blank-after-lid-is-reopened07:42
deltzequence: i followed the instructions there, and the .sh file indeed gets called when opening/closing the lid, but there's no way for my laptop to reactivate the screen from /proc07:43
delt/proc, /sys, and /dev contain very little useful entries matching "lcd" :(07:43
deltzequence: tried this, failed --- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=161313208:02
deltzequence: booting with acpi=off fixes the problem, but disables some needed/useful stuff...08:15
deltzequence: for now i kludged it with a script that switches VT and back when the laptop lid is open....hideous, but (usually) works :/09:47
zequencedelt: Thanks for the info. Might take me a couple of days before I get to that. If I find a neater solution, I'll ping you.12:44
rhizoHi folks14:29
deltHello20:41
deltbug: desktop settings shows only a blue square in the list of background wallpapers20:41
zequencedelt: Was it always like that?20:42
zequencedelt: Which release? How did you install it?20:42
deltzequence: fresh install on this machine, installed from dvd20:43
delt(laptop)20:43
zequencedelt: trusty?20:43
deltyeah, 14.0420:43
deltlet me check on the desktop if it "became" like this as well with some updates20:43
deltnope... though the weird little blue square appears for about half a second while the thumbnails of images load20:44
deltlet's see if i change the directory...20:46
zequencedelt: I have that too, before the wallpapers load20:46
deltzequence: on the laptop, it stays stuck with the little blue square20:47
zequencedelt: what is the folder set on?20:47
deltboth before (default directory from fresh install) and after i changed it to a directory with a bunch of backgrounds20:48
zequenceIt should say "ubuntustudio"20:48
deltyeah that's what it was on by default20:48
zequenceand the path should be /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio20:48
deltoh btw there's no easy way to just click and go back to default20:49
zequencedelt: That's unfortunately not on our table. That is XFCE development :)20:49
deltoh, yeah20:49
deltanyway i set it back to the default, and the little blue square is gone, though i still have an empty list.20:50
deltclose the window, reopen it, the square is back.20:51
deltzequence: for me it's not a big deal since i use wallch to switch wallpapers randomly -)20:51
deltbut for my parents, this needs to be user-friendly and without too much bugs...20:52
delts/much/many/20:52
zequencedelt: Are you in a Ubuntu Studio or a XFCE session?20:55
zequencedelt: logout, and make sure20:55
deltubuntu studio20:57
deltmaking sure, 2sec20:57
deltyep, ubuntu studio session20:57
zequencedelt: the file that controls the path to wallpapers is /etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntustudio/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml20:58
zequencedelt: Could be you overriden that path in user settings20:59
zequencedelt: have a look in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml20:59
delt/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntustudio/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml21:00
deltuh21:00
delti mean http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/xfce4-desktop.xml21:01
zequencedelt: If the file I posted last does not have the correct path to wallpapers - /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio, then delete it21:01
zequencedelt: check the file in user settings, since that is the only one that should change easily21:01
deltzequence: does wallch futz around with that file to change desktop wallpapers?21:01
deltzequence: anyway the problem was present before i installed wallch (which i just did a few minutes ago)21:02
delthttp://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/xfce4-desktop.xml21:03
zequencedelt: Actually, that is probably not it, now that I look closer21:06
deltoops, that second link was meant to be http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/user-xfce4-desktop.xml21:08
deltthat's the one in my ~21:08
deltthe first one was the one in /etc21:08
zequencedelt: Could be we are missing a possible setting21:09
deltjust removed it, and re-ran the desktop settings, still same bug21:10
zequencedelt: If you select a wallpaper in /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio/, it should become default21:10
deltin wallch?21:11
delti can't select individual files in the desktop settings21:11
zequencedelt: No, in the xfce desktop settings21:11
zequencedelt: Set the folder /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio, then you will be able to select any wp in there21:11
zequencewhen you close desktop settings, and open again, you will see the same wp selection21:12
deltnope... the list is still empty21:12
delt(no blue square this time)21:12
zequencedelt: Sure you got the right path? /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio21:13
zequencedelt: Sure you got the right path? /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio/21:13
deltyep, typed it in the gtk selector window21:14
delt(with tab completion)21:14
delt:)21:14
deltlet's try clicking my way to it21:14
deltnope.. blue square21:15
zequencedelt: Well, if I change wp to something in another folder, that folder will be default next time21:15
deltanyway, if it works for you then it will probably work fine on another laptop21:15
deltin other news... how do i use a magnet link from firefox to a program (rtorrent) that's running on another machine?21:18
zequencedelt: That would not be typically Ubuntu Studio specific, but I guess you copy the magnet link to your clipboard21:19
zequenceor, you specify a path to a program that is launchpable from the system you are on21:19
delthahaha "ubuntu is an ancient african word translating to: cannot configure debian"21:30
zequencegood one21:32
zequencesleepy time21:33
deltwhere from?21:33
delt<--- montreal, canada21:33
