naggeI have Intel 64 bit processor, E8400 3 GHz But i cant find 64 Intel installations to download, can I use amd iso to install next no Windows 7 Ultimate?08:55
zequencenagge: AMD64 is for both amd and intel08:56
zequenceSorry, we should have made that more clear on the download page08:56
naggeokey thanks!08:56

zequenceYes, you can install next to Windows. Just be aware that the windows boot loader will be removed08:56
zequence..and replaced by GRUB boot loader (which can see both Linux and Windows)08:56

byron_I'm having trouble using LMMS, audio and midi keep dropping out14:15
yorwoshi all , i have tried many times to install kwin window manager but i always get errors when running kwin --replace , is kwin working properly with amd proprietary drivers ? something else i should try ? ub.studio 14.0415:50
yorwoshave tried uninstalling reinstalling15:51
holsteinwhat i would do is just use kubuntu, starting with kubuntu base, and then install whatever i want from the audio/video packages15:52
holsteinyorwos: regardless, any guide for switching xfce to kde, or xubuntu to kubuntu should help you15:52

nickhilr1hi i m on xubuntu 14, how do i install ubuntustudio audio package only19:32
washeinshola19:43
holsteinnickhilr1: you can open the package manager of your choice and search "ubuntustudio" and install what yo ulike19:44
holsteinnickhilr1: i suggest *not* installing the meta packages, but just research what it is you want, and install them19:45
holsteinsudo apt-get install audacity for example19:45
holsteinor, jack ardour and whatever plugins..19:45
nickhilr1i only want the audio packages from ubuntustudio, also which should i choose from linux-rt or lowlatency?19:46
holsteinnickhilr1: there is no "rt", but, i would choose neither til you are sure you actually need it19:47
holsteinnickhilr1: typically, there is no need for actual lowlatency, and depending on the hardware being used, you won't get low latency with internal devices, regardless of kernel19:48
holsteinnickhilr1: you can install the lowlatency kernel by opening the package manager of your choice and searching "lowlatency"19:48
nickhilr1well i working on an old compaq presario laptop, with 1G of ram19:50
holsteinnickhilr1: sure.. so, regardless of kernel, you are not going to get lowlatency, so i suggest, just do audio production that doesnt require lowlatency19:51
holsteinnickhilr1: what is lowlatency? latency is the time it takes from when you press play, for example, in an audio recorder til the sound comes out of the speakers19:51
holsteinif you record you or your band live, and want to mix it, who cares if it takes 8ms from when you press play, or 80ms?19:52
holsteinits literaly irrelevant. and you dont need to install special kernels, or hassle with it19:52
holsteinwhen do folks need lowlatency? doing realtime effects processing : you have your guitar hooked into an interface into the computer and are using the machine to provide effects such as distortion with something like guitarix or rakarrack19:53
holsteinanother scnario : you have a midi keyboard connected, and want to use that instrument in realtime to trigger samples or a software synth such as yoshimi19:53
holsteinotherwise, for all other tasks, you dont need lowlatency, and shouldnt be bothering with trying to do either of those tasks on that hardware19:54
holsteini would start with the generic kernel you have,  and get used to using JACK, if you need it..19:54
holstein!proaudio19:54
ubottuFor information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro19:54
holsteinor, depending on what exactly you are doing, just install specifically what you need.. for example, if you are editing a podcast, or some speach, you dont need JACK or ardour.. you can do that simply with audacity19:55
holsteini also suggest just downloading the actual ubuntustudio iso and see what the tools are , and how they work, and what you need..19:56
holsteinthe ubuntustudio meta packages are not a magical way to convert your machine into an audio production rig.. they are just defaults that install a set of applications that you can install on your own, or may not want all of, or may want other applicaiont..19:56
holsteinapplications*19:56
holsteinnickhilr1_: im not sure what all you missed there, but i'll put my output in a pastebin19:58
holsteinnickhilr1_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8082564/19:58

nickhilr1holstein: so i can install the kernels later if i choose to20:05
holsteinnickhilr1: you can install them anytime20:05
holsteinnickhilr1: nothing about the software that you are asking about requires that kernel20:05
nickhilr1right20:07
nickhilr1holstein: thanks20:07
