[02:15] <delt> hello
[02:15] <delt> oh btw, my midi keyboard doesn't show in qjackctl under connections -> midi ... only under connections -> alsa
[02:16] <delt> just noticed that, when trying to use it with some (jack)-midi software :(
[02:17] <delt> and my sb-live's midi also does not, just also noticed :(
[02:31] <holstein> delt: for "midi keyboard only shows", i use, a2jmidid
[02:31] <holstein> !info a2jmidid
[02:31] <ubottu> a2jmidid (source: a2jmidid): Daemon for exposing legacy ALSA MIDI in JACK MIDI systems. In component universe, is extra. Version 8~dfsg0-1 (trusty), package size 32 kB, installed size 118 kB
[02:32] <delt> Ah, thanks! :D i was just wondering if such a software existed. :D
[02:33] <holstein> there are other ways to deal with it..
[02:56] <delt> oh just a small detail, but the volume icon in the upper right is dark grey instead of white, which makes it very difficult to see.....
[02:57] <delt> (regular audio mixer, not pavucontrol)
[02:59] <holstein> delt: i dont use thats
[02:59] <holstein> that*
[02:59] <holstein> delt: i use pavucontrol if i want pulse.. otherwise, in "studio", im using jack, and external equipment
[03:01] <delt> right now i have the "normal" mixer applet, the one you get by adding to the panel items... but a while ago, the icon became dark grey... no idea why. it makes it hard to see, but it's still usable/functional
[03:02] <holstein> delt: jack can kill your pulse sources.. or break that
[03:02] <holstein> delt: pretty much, jack is just not casual, or trivial
[03:02] <delt> looks like this: http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/volume-icon.png
[03:07] <holstein> delt: right..
[03:07] <holstein> delt: i get it.. its grey, and you cant use it.. im suggesting jack killed or broke it..
[03:08] <delt> well, it's still usable/functional ...but i'm just wondering why it's grey
[03:08] <holstein> delt: jack killed or broke it
[03:09] <delt> uh.. how? and why?
[03:09] <delt> is jack jealous of pulseaudio? :D
[03:09] <holstein> delt: thats just what im suggesting..
[03:10] <delt> even if i remove it and re-add it, it still stays grey
[03:11] <delt> anyway.. not important. at least it works
[10:20] <tristanStrange> hey all. I'm running plain ubuntu and want to try a realtime kernel
[10:20] <tristanStrange> can you chaps point me in the right direction?
[10:32] <zequence> tristanStrange: you have linux-lowlatency in the repo, which is close enough for most needs. What do you need it for?
[10:38] <tristanStrange> just want to reduce latency. I've got about 48ms at the minute
[10:38] <tristanStrange> so the lowlatency should improve things?
[10:39] <tristanStrange> I'll give it a go
[10:39] <zequence> tristanStrange: For jack, you mean?
[10:39] <tristanStrange> yup
[10:39] <zequence> linux-lowlatency should give you less than 10, if your HW allows it
[10:40] <tristanStrange> marvellous thanks. I'll give it a blast
[10:40] <zequence> linux-lowlatency is really more of a desktop kernel than linux-generic (which is more of a server kernel)
[10:43] <tristanStrange> right time for a reboot!
[12:40] <delt> uhhhhhhh.... anyone know how come there's HALF A GIGABYTE of updates all of a sudden???
[12:43] <delt> because i enabled the kxstudio repo maybe? but i only installed one app from that repo
[12:51] <delt> ok, disabled all the kxstudio stuff in synaptic... we'll see next time that "updates" thing pops up...
[18:46] <delt> i noticed 14.04.1 is out. Did that laptop bug ever get fixed finally?
[18:49] <delt> (the bug where closing the laptop leaves the screen in an unusable state)
[18:49] <delt> is it fixed? (it's pretty serious....)
[22:16] <delt> yesssss "Bug fixes for the first point release" -- "Black screen after wakeup from suspending by closing the laptop lid. (1303736)"
[22:16] <delt> (from http://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-14-04-1-released/ )
[22:39] <delt> oh, after updating, i had a problem with most programs segfaulting when i started it, which was fixed by rebooting. just mentioning for the record.
