[11:12] <kunal> help fellas laptop touchpad scrolling is not working
[11:13] <kunal> it was working fine in live session and during post installation pre update phase
[11:16] <kunal> is anybody out there
[11:16] <kunal> facing same problem
[11:16] <kunal> i am using 14.04 LTS
[14:15] <OvenWerk1> delt: good to here about the the BG being fixed. I have often in the past (though not with 14.04 in my case) found that some things are odd after the first boot that are corrected by a second boot. Also, it is good to reboot after software updates, though again, I rarely do.
[14:28] <rhizo> Aloha
[14:30] <OvenWerk1> g'morning
[17:38] <ubuntu-studio> Hi all. Does anyone know if unbuntustudio's kernel is optimized for video editing?
[17:39] <ubuntu-studio> I'm currently comparing ubuntustudio 14 xfce and Linux Mint 16 xfce, but see no difference when using openshot or kdenlive with HD-videos.
[19:38] <lehthanis> heya, I have an audio/video question...
[19:38] <lehthanis> I'm trying to capture video with vlc.
[19:38] <lehthanis> it works...but I also want to record the audio in audacity...
[19:39] <lehthanis> I seem to be unable to do both by default...whichever of the two apps I start first grabs control of the audio and won't let the other receive it...is there a way to change that behaviour?
[20:05] <zequence> lehthanis: Why record the audio with another program? Just strip the audio from the video file once you're done
[20:05] <lehthanis> what's the easiest way to do that?
[20:06] <zequence> I don't do much of that, but I think you can do that in vlc even
[20:09] <lehthanis> ok...I'll fool around with that.  Would probably be easier for the guy-in-the-box...
[20:19] <lehthanis> so, I tried to use vlc to do convert/save and it appears to do it, but I end up with a sound file that is gibberish and it takes the full length of the playback to do it.  That's not really practical for what we're doing...
[20:19] <lehthanis> any other suggestions?
[20:31] <zequence> lehthanis: Not an awful lot of video editors hang out here usually, but you could google on what applications can do what you need, and check out their forums for help
[20:32] <lehthanis> yeah I just did a successful convert with winff
[20:32] <zequence> lehthanis: You could also try to import audio with something like audacity, even if it's a video file, but it will depend on which format it is
[20:33] <zequence> lehthanis: A quick search got me this http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/importing_audio.html
[20:34] <lehthanis> oh man, that worked! I never thought of that!\
[20:34] <lehthanis> That's even easier
[20:42] <lehthanis> well, I'm out of here, looks like I'm all set, thanks!!!
[21:02] <OvenWerk1> aleb: probably the two most used workflows for video might be some one who videos events such as weddings and prints them to DVDs and someone who makes videos to upload to youtube... like instructionals.
[22:50] <ridethespiral> anyone here running 14.04?
[23:17] <OvenWerk1> yes
[23:24] <ridethespiral> Any problems from the start? I'm having issues with videos / playing music
[23:25] <OvenWerk1> ridethespiral: I can't think of any problems
[23:27] <OvenWerk1> I have two sound cards, so make sure that pulse points at the one I use, And make sure the level is up on it becasue it is an odd card and pulse doesn't know how to do that... but those are not unique to 14.04 (or Ubuntu even)
[23:29] <ridethespiral> I had no issues with 12.04 but from with 14.04, videos wouldn't play and couldn't open audacious to play files. Pulseaudio volume control says "establishing connection to pulseaudio. please wait"
[23:29] <ridethespiral> Then out of the blue the video would start playing and audacious would play the file I tried opening
[23:29] <ridethespiral> then the videos stopped working...
[23:30] <ridethespiral> At one point pulseaudio volume control was working so I set up my recording interface as default device and it was working
[23:30] <OvenWerk1> So they are using alsa direct it sounds like
[23:31] <OvenWerk1> What kind of audio device are you using?
[23:31] <OvenWerk1> (USB, internal, PCI, etc)
[23:31] <ridethespiral> USB
[23:32] <OvenWerk1> Is there also one on the mother board?
[23:32] <ridethespiral> yes.
[23:32] <ridethespiral> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=08e1ecdf932b8434e24a83bdc98ba4fc28040b93
[23:38] <OvenWerk1> Two on the MB... at least. But as long as there is one pulse should start ok and alsa should be loaded which looks to be happening.
[23:38] <OvenWerk1> Which one are you using for your desktop audio out.
[23:38] <ridethespiral> I have no idea lol
[23:39] <ridethespiral> ohh you mean card.. RME babyface
[23:39] <ridethespiral> afaik...
[23:39] <OvenWerk1> Which one do you have the speakers connected to.
[23:39] <ridethespiral> I'm using the babyface for audio out
[23:40] <OvenWerk1> if you open pulseaudio's controller... the last tab is configuration.
[23:40] <OvenWerk1> turn off the cards you are not using.
[23:41] <ridethespiral> Pulseaudio volume control won't connect to pulseaudio
[23:41] <ridethespiral> I'm not trying to play anything, browsers are closed etc
[23:41] <OvenWerk1> on the sound icon there is a sound settings, That one?
[23:41] <ridethespiral> correct
[23:42] <OvenWerk1> Have you done anything with jack at all?
[23:42] <OvenWerk1> In a terminal try killall -9 jackd
[23:42] <ridethespiral> I opened it and connected it to see if my xruns improved from the upgrade
[23:43] <ridethespiral> ok one moment
[23:43] <ridethespiral> no process found
[23:44] <OvenWerk1> try jack_control stop
[23:45] <OvenWerk1> Not that these things should stop pulse from trying to run
[23:46] <ridethespiral> ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.99:/org/jackaudio/Controller: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[23:47] <OvenWerk1> OK, maybe try killall -9 jackdbus
[23:48] <ridethespiral> Alright. Still getting that establishing connection to pulseaudio message
[23:49] <OvenWerk1> close that window and try just typing pulseaudio in the terminal.
[23:49] <OvenWerk1> I think it will log errors to that window
[23:49] <ridethespiral> E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
[23:49] <ridethespiral> E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
[23:50] <OvenWerk1> That sounds like dbus errors.
[23:50] <OvenWerk1> Have you rebooted since the first install?
[23:50] <ridethespiral> multiple times
[23:52] <OvenWerk1> dbus communication seems to be not working, I am not sure where to go from there.
[23:52] <OvenWerk1> The session should have been started from dbus so that everything uses the same instance of dbus.
[23:54] <OvenWerk1> echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
[23:56] <ridethespiral> I appreciate trying to help :)
[23:56] <ridethespiral> ubuntustudio
[23:56] <OvenWerk1> Just making sure :) I think there is an xfce session available.
[23:57] <OvenWerk1> ps x should show a dbus process running
[23:57] <ridethespiral> no output from echo $XFCE_SESSION
[23:58] <ridethespiral> and what do you mean ps x?
[23:58] <OvenWerk1> ps x in the terminal will show running processes
[23:58] <OvenWerk1> dbus will be off the screen, so use shift page up to go up.
[23:59] <ridethespiral>  1558 ?        Ss     0:00 dbus-daemon --fork --session --address=unix:abstract=
[23:59] <OvenWerk1> Ya, things have changed since I last looked at it all, we are using upstart to start the session now.
