=== GridCube_ is now known as GridCube [01:36] delt: those are outputs.. and not for proaudio, regardless [01:36] the impedance is for consumer audio equipment.. [01:45] delt: 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 flow [04:00] some musician here ? [04:00] What's the question? [04:00] yes.. [04:02] * holstein is a musician.. what do you need Guest68684 ? [04:02] well i have a nano 2 keys midi controller but only works with lmms no ardour, rosegarden or Qtractor , i have ubuntu studio 14 [04:02] Guest68684: routing, likely [04:03] Guest68684: if it works with anything, then, it works with the system [04:03] i routed but no way [04:03] Guest68684: you do *not* need a musician for this question [04:03] Guest68684: you need someone familiar with MIDI [04:03] Guest68684: you routed in JACK? how, precisely? [04:03] i'm a por musician very known i know midi since it appears [04:04] yes [04:04] Guest68684: sure.. but this is *not* the same as the MIDI you and i have used [04:04] i think it the controller because drivers [04:04] Guest68684: no [04:05] Guest68684: if it were "controller because of drivers" it wouldnt work [04:05] Guest68684: you state it is working.. correct? [04:05] yes [04:05] nano works very well in wine [04:05] Guest68684: ok.. then, *how* are you routing? with JACK? [04:05] q software [04:06] Guest68684: q software? [04:06] qjack [04:06] correct... you are routing in JACK? JACK is running? [04:06] !proaudio [04:06] For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro [04:07] yes but messages always very weird and diferents [04:07] Guest68684: ^ have you read that? [04:07] Guest68684: what messages? [04:07] yes [04:07] Guest68684: from where? [04:07] Guest68684: so, are yuo running jack? [04:07] i post my problem there too [04:07] Guest68684: where? [04:07] many of them are diferents [04:08] Guest68684: the link i gave is a wiki page with information.. you dont post there [04:08] Guest68684: them what? [04:08] in LMMS nano works very well using jack instead of alsa [04:09] Guest68684: sure.. when you are running JACK, you need to configure applications to use JACK [04:09] in qtractor i used fluidsynth sf2 but also do not conect keyboard [04:09] Guest68684: ok.. *dont* do that [04:09] Guest68684: you have too many variables [04:09] Guest68684: please do the following [04:09] 1. see that JACK is running.. [04:10] 2. open yoshimi [04:10] 3. use the virtual keyboard in the menu to insure that yoshimi is making sound, and routed properly for audio connections in JACK [04:10] ok [04:11] yoshimi do not open [04:11] 4. *then* move on to the midi connection of the nano to the application yoshimi *after* you have sound [04:11] ok [04:11] you 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 connectsion [04:11] connections* [04:12] Guest68684: "yoshimi do not open" is not a question [04:12] a2jmidid i have to install it? [04:13] Guest68684: you'll need to install it if you dont have it.. you dont "have to" do *anything*.. [04:13] i tell you i try to open yoshimi, and it doesn't open [04:14] Guest68684: sure.. thats *still* not a question, though [04:14] Guest68684: you can try "zynaddsubfx" [04:15] ok [04:15] thanks i will do your advice see you [04:16] well.. that happened [06:31] Hello [06:31] My 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 reboot [06:31] even xrandr --auto, or xset dpms force on don't do it [07:14] delt: There was a post about that on the mail list. Seems like installing pm-utils solves it [07:14] We haven't yet had a chance to test it and fix it. Should be fixed within a month or less. === tatie is now known as gregor3000 [07:26] zequence: using the nouveau drivers, pm-utils doesn't fix it :( [07:26] (installed it, logged out and back in) [07:26] now testing with the propriertary nvidia driver [07:31] zequence: also doesn't work with the proprietary nvidia driver [07:35] delt: 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 it [07:42] zequence: looking at http://askubuntu.com/questions/248967/laptop-screen-stays-blank-after-lid-is-reopened [07:43] zequence: 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 /proc [07:43] /proc, /sys, and /dev contain very little useful entries matching "lcd" :( [08:02] zequence: tried this, failed --- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [08:15] zequence: booting with acpi=off fixes the problem, but disables some needed/useful stuff... [09:47] zequence: for now i kludged it with a script that switches VT and back when the laptop lid is open....hideous, but (usually) works :/ [12:44] delt: 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. [14:29] Hi folks [20:41] Hello [20:41] bug: desktop settings shows only a blue square in the list of background wallpapers [20:42] delt: Was it always like that? [20:42] delt: Which release? How did you install it? [20:43] zequence: fresh install on this machine, installed from dvd [20:43] (laptop) [20:43] delt: trusty? [20:43] yeah, 14.04 [20:43] let me check on the desktop if it "became" like this as well with some updates [20:44] nope... though the weird little blue square appears for about half a second while the thumbnails of images load [20:46] let's see if i change the directory... [20:46] delt: I have that too, before the wallpapers load [20:47] zequence: on the laptop, it stays stuck with the little blue square [20:47] delt: what is the folder set on? [20:48] both before (default directory from fresh install) and after i changed it to a directory with a bunch of backgrounds [20:48] It should say "ubuntustudio" [20:48] yeah that's what it was on by default [20:48] and the path should be /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio [20:49] oh btw there's no easy way to just click and go back to default [20:49] delt: That's unfortunately not on our table. That is XFCE development :) [20:49] oh, yeah [20:50] anyway i set it back to the default, and the little blue square is gone, though i still have an empty list. [20:51] close the window, reopen it, the square is back. [20:51] zequence: for me it's not a big deal since i use wallch to switch wallpapers randomly -) [20:52] but for my parents, this needs to be user-friendly and without too much bugs... [20:52] s/much/many/ [20:55] delt: Are you in a Ubuntu Studio or a XFCE session? [20:55] delt: logout, and make sure [20:57] ubuntu studio [20:57] making sure, 2sec [20:57] yep, ubuntu studio session [20:58] delt: the file that controls the path to wallpapers is /etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntustudio/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml [20:59] delt: Could be you overriden that path in user settings [20:59] delt: have a look in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml [21:00] /etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntustudio/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml [21:00] uh [21:01] i mean http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/xfce4-desktop.xml [21:01] delt: If the file I posted last does not have the correct path to wallpapers - /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio, then delete it [21:01] delt: check the file in user settings, since that is the only one that should change easily [21:01] zequence: does wallch futz around with that file to change desktop wallpapers? [21:02] zequence: anyway the problem was present before i installed wallch (which i just did a few minutes ago) [21:03] http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/xfce4-desktop.xml [21:06] delt: Actually, that is probably not it, now that I look closer [21:08] oops, that second link was meant to be http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/user-xfce4-desktop.xml [21:08] that's the one in my ~ [21:08] the first one was the one in /etc [21:09] delt: Could be we are missing a possible setting [21:10] just removed it, and re-ran the desktop settings, still same bug [21:10] delt: If you select a wallpaper in /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio/, it should become default [21:11] in wallch? [21:11] i can't select individual files in the desktop settings [21:11] delt: No, in the xfce desktop settings [21:11] delt: Set the folder /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio, then you will be able to select any wp in there [21:12] when you close desktop settings, and open again, you will see the same wp selection [21:12] nope... the list is still empty [21:12] (no blue square this time) [21:13] delt: Sure you got the right path? /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio [21:13] delt: Sure you got the right path? /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntustudio/ [21:14] yep, typed it in the gtk selector window [21:14] (with tab completion) [21:14] :) [21:14] let's try clicking my way to it [21:15] nope.. blue square [21:15] delt: Well, if I change wp to something in another folder, that folder will be default next time [21:15] anyway, if it works for you then it will probably work fine on another laptop [21:18] in other news... how do i use a magnet link from firefox to a program (rtorrent) that's running on another machine? [21:19] delt: That would not be typically Ubuntu Studio specific, but I guess you copy the magnet link to your clipboard [21:19] or, you specify a path to a program that is launchpable from the system you are on [21:30] hahaha "ubuntu is an ancient african word translating to: cannot configure debian" [21:32] good one [21:33] sleepy time [21:33] where from?
