| Linnak | Ubuntustudio 14.04.1 32bit livedvd doesn't play avi video. It's on pause and I can't start it. Why? | 05:20 |
|---|---|---|
| Linnak | Hi, How can it be possible that a lot of simpler Ubuntu based distro has video codecs but Ubuntustudio doesn't? The LiveDVD doesn't play avi with xvid codec. Why? Kubuntu why plays and others why play? | 09:59 |
| Linnak | Is here anyone? | 10:03 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:19 |
| Linnak | I know. Thank, but why isn't built in already? | 10:20 |
| cfhowlett | !info xubuntu-restricted-extrasLinnak, legal. | 10:20 |

| Linnak | How much can I install on a Live DVD? Depends on my Merory size? | 10:21 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, yes. | 10:21 |
| Linnak | So because XFCE has that's why doesn't has the codec? Why Voyager Linux has. That is also with XFCE? | 10:22 |
| cfhowlett | voyager is not ubuntu. xfce is not a codec - it's a desktop environment. restricted extras are LEGALLY restricted. | 10:23 |
| Linnak | Let me see clearer. Voyager based on Xubuntu, Xubuntu based on Ubuntu. All based on Ubuntu. Why Ubuntustudio is restricted and oders not? | 10:24 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, see the first paragraph ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 10:25 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, voyager IS NOT ubuntu. | 10:25 |
| Linnak | Based ON | 10:25 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, read the link | 10:25 |
| Linnak | I'm reading | 10:25 |
| Linnak | All the links below easy install are disabled | 10:26 |
| Linnak | Can I "remaster" a LiveCD for myself with the codecs? | 10:26 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, of course. | 10:27 |
| Linnak | I know remastersys is down. What is instead nowdays? | 10:27 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, note that one additional codec is required to play DVD's | 10:27 |
| cfhowlett | Linnak, never mastered one myself. please ask how to custom master in #ubuntu ... more eyes on the problem. | 10:28 |
| Linnak | Thank you. | 10:28 |

| fabio_ | i've tried lmms on ubuntu 14.04 but the version 1.0.0 seems a little unstable.. what i can do? | 12:21 |
| bah__ | bah | 16:13 |
| holstein | bah__: how can we assist you? | 16:14 |
| delt_ | Hello | 16:46 |
| delt_ | qtractor just hangs there on startup - how to get it working? | 16:47 |
| === delt_ is now known as delt | ||
| delt | Just tested with the guest account, left qtractor running several minutes - nothing. | 16:54 |
| delt | strace -Ff stops outputting after startup | 17:00 |
| delt | aha, got it... it's something to do with LV2 plugins. | 17:10 |
| delt | Setting LV2_PATH to say, /tmp didn't help, but moving /lib/lv2 to /lib/lv2_ did, now i get a running qtractor. | 17:11 |
| delt | except no LV2 plugins. | 17:12 |
| holstein | delt: sounds like it may be an issue in the lv2's then | 17:13 |
| holstein | delt: is jack running stable before trying to start qtractor? do other DAW's use the lv2's? are you using any ppa's? | 17:14 |
| delt | jack seems to be running fine. | 17:15 |
| delt | renoise is also running, using jack. | 17:15 |
| delt | no ppa's at the moment. | 17:15 |
| holstein | are you up to date with upgrades? | 17:16 |
| delt | yeah, as far as i can tell... | 17:16 |
| holstein | delt: ? | 17:16 |
| holstein | delt: in a terminal, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 17:16 |
| delt | qtractor is already the newest version. | 17:16 |
| delt | why dist-upgrade? | 17:17 |
| holstein | i would start qtractor (as much as default as possible) using the defaults configs/etc, starting from the command line and see if you have any helpful error output | 17:17 |
| holstein | delt: its not "distribution upgrade" | 17:17 |
| holstein | delt: i suggest it becuase it will update everything with apt | 17:17 |
| delt | ok, it says a few packages will be updated, evolution-data-server evolution-data-server-common evolution-data-server-online-accounts libcamel-1.2-45 libebackend-1.2-7 libebook-1.2-14 libebook-contacts-1.2-0 libecal-1.2-16 libedata-book-1.2-20 libedata-cal-1.2-23 libedataserver-1.2-18 python3-distupgrade rpcbind ubuntu-release-upgrader-core ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk | 17:18 |
| holstein | !paste | 17:22 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 17:22 |
| delt | ah ok thanks | 17:24 |
| delt | anyway, the update completed, and moving lv2_ back to lv2, same problem: qtractor just shows an empty window and hangs there... | 17:28 |
| delt | seems like there was nothing touching /usr/lib/lv2 in the update, or else i would have ended up with a duplicate lv2 directory | 17:29 |
| holstein | delt: please try, *after* getting jack running stable, run qtractor from the command line, and see if you get error output that is helpful | 17:30 |
| delt | jack is running stable | 17:30 |
| holstein | delt: keep in mind, i do not know any of the changes you have made, that can be "breaking" the system | 17:30 |
| holstein | delt: ok.. please, go ahead, then, and open a terminal, and start qtractor from there.. see if you have any "error" messages when it hangs | 17:31 |
| delt | and i do run qtractor from the command line, it gives no messages on stdout | 17:31 |
| holstein | i would look at qjackctl as well and check ghe messages there | 17:31 |
| holstein | the* | 17:31 |
| delt | i ran it through strace -Ff and the messages stop after it completed startup | 17:31 |
| holstein | delt: after what completed startup? | 17:32 |
| delt | qtractor | 17:33 |
| holstein | delt: i was troubleshooting with you that qtractor wouldnt start.. so, we'll have to go back a few steps since it *is* starting | 17:33 |
| delt | oh, qtractor causes a LOT of error messages in qjackctl's "messages" window... 2 sec i'm pastebin'ing it | 17:34 |
| holstein | im not understanding the issues | 17:34 |
| delt | pastebin is being slow... | 17:34 |
| delt | trying again..... | 17:36 |
| delt | firefox still says "sending request to pastebin.com..." | 17:36 |
| holstein | there are many paste services, such as the ubuntu one i linked above.. but, you can just scan them, and see what looks relevant, and drop them into google | 17:37 |
| delt | ok, faster this way: http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/qjackctl.txt | 17:37 |
| delt | or, finally, http://pastebin.com/8ydaFxrT | 17:38 |
| holstein | i would just relax my jack settings.. it could be that simple | 17:39 |
| delt | this is with renoise closed down, but qtractor still hanged on startup | 17:39 |
| holstein | delt: i would make sure those processes are not running in the background still | 17:40 |
| delt | ps xau | grep -i renoise gives me nothing | 17:40 |
| delt | except the ps xau process itself | 17:40 |
| holstein | delt: sure.. renoise is *not* what we are talking about, correct? | 17:40 |
| holstein | delt: are we not troubleshooting qtractor? | 17:41 |
| delt | oh, i thought you meant renoise when you said 13:38 < holstein> delt: i would make sure those processes are not running in the background still | 17:41 |
| holstein | please check that *all* processes using jack are stopped, stop jack, and relax the settings | 17:41 |
| holstein | delt: ok | 17:41 |
| holstein | delt: just ignore that then, and do this, specifically | 17:41 |
| delt | so, what would be "relaxed" enough settings? | 17:42 |
| holstein | delt: make sure *any* and *all* processes using jack are stopped.. then, stop jack, and make certain its stopped. then, please relax the jack settings | 17:42 |
| holstein | delt: i would relax them, extremely, as a test | 17:42 |
| holstein | delt: like, 80+ms latency setting, whatever that is for your hardware | 17:42 |
| delt | ok, stopped jack, i still have two "/usr/bin/jackdbus auto" processes running, but that is normal i guess | 17:43 |
| holstein | delt: no | 17:43 |
| holstein | delt: i would kill *all* jack processes.. and relax the settings | 17:43 |
| delt | ok, had to kill them -9 | 17:44 |
| delt | now i have only qjackctl running with jack off ... so to speak (: | 17:45 |
| delt | well... stopped =) | 17:46 |
| delt | for the settings, i had already set the timeout to 2000ms... now i have a latency of 92.7ms with 1024 frames/buffer and 4 periods | 17:47 |
| delt | at 44.1k | 17:47 |
| holstein | i would leave the periods to 2. or at least experiement with that at 2 | 17:47 |
| holstein | raise the other.. the frames/buffer | 17:47 |
| holstein | regardless, dont waste too much time here.. this is *not* a fix.. its just a step for you to learn from | 17:48 |
| delt | ok, frames set to 2048 for the same latency | 17:48 |
| delt | click "ok" then "start" ? | 17:49 |
| delt | oh btw i really don't think the problem is with jack, since qtractor seemed to work fine when i temporarily moved the "lv2" plugin directory out of the way | 17:50 |
| holstein | delt: ok | 17:58 |
| holstein | delt: enjoy! | 17:58 |
| holstein | delt: i would then, as i said in the beginning, look into the lv2 plugins | 17:58 |
| holstein | delt: you can try #opensourcemusicians | 17:58 |
| delt | weird thing is, looks like it still tries to load them when i set LV2_PATH to, say, /tmp | 17:59 |
| holstein | delt: sure.. its *designed* to load them | 17:59 |
| delt | or /asldkfjaksldfj | 17:59 |
| holstein | delt: its advertised as loading them | 17:59 |
| holstein | i personally wouldnt mess about with the settings there.. | 17:59 |
| delt | like /usr/lib/lv2 was hardcoded in qtractor or something | 17:59 |
| holstein | could be | 18:00 |
| holstein | i would step back into older versions of qtractor.. i would troubleshoot with jack settings.. i would try lv2's other places.. | 18:00 |
| delt | seems like it might be, according to http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11530 | 18:00 |
| holstein | so, try another version of qtractor | 18:01 |
| holstein | !bug | 18:01 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 18:01 |
| holstein | for backporting the "Fix" if there is one, and you can confirm the issue, and thats the issue | 18:01 |
| delt | how do i "apt-get" an older version of a package? | 18:02 |
| delt | or do i have to find the .deb file, if it's available somewhere? | 18:02 |
| andrew__ | hope someone can help me getting frustrated.M audio fast track showing in alsa but no sound | 18:19 |
| delt | holstein: downgraded qtractor to qtractor_0.5.4-1_amd64.deb, problem appears to be solved. | 18:22 |
| delt | holstein: question is, when i do an update, will it overwrite it again with the newer version? | 18:22 |
| delt | if so, how can i prevent that? | 18:23 |
| andrew_ | hope someone can help me getting frustrated.M audio fast track showing in alsa but no sound | 18:28 |
| mlpug | andrew_, where do you expect sound | 18:35 |
| mlpug | turn all mic switches on and gains to southeast, connect maudio to system output in jackd. yes sound should come from your speakers | 18:36 |
| andrew_ | well i guess from the monitors i was trying to use it with ardour.When i open jack i see the fast track in the input options but nothing in the connect window | 18:37 |
| andrew_ | in the setup window of qjackc i see hw1 fast track and hw o usb audio | 18:40 |
| mlpug | I think that in my case the solution was that I did see the devices in the terminal: arecord -l, identified USB recording device there 1/0 and then launched jackd with corresponding parameter -C hw:1,0 | 18:45 |
| mlpug | otherwise it tries to record from some other device than you think | 18:46 |
| andrew_ | im new to this stuff what do you mean by parameter c | 18:47 |
| mlpug | I launch jackd with this command: /usr/bin/jackd -p 128 -r -T -d alsa -n 2 -r 48000 -p 1024 -P hw:0,0 -C hw:1,0 & | 18:47 |
| mlpug | I refer to the last parameter "-C hw:1,0" | 18:47 |
| andrew_ | ok in aplay -l and arecord -l i see the fast track | 18:49 |
| mlpug | see the maudio card number and device number from arecord -l | 18:50 |
| mlpug | and use those when you launch jackd | 18:50 |
| andrew_ | ok thanx ill try it but have to restart because now im getting an error dbus jak cant be started | 18:53 |
| mlpug | you can also killall jackd | 19:01 |
| andrew_ | well i started jack with the terminal command but i still have nothing going to ardour | 19:09 |
| andrew_ | and no sound | 19:12 |
| mlpug | I dont know. some random ideas: killall -9 pulseaudio. record to a file from command line e.g. arecord -D hw:1,0 -d 12 -f cd test.wav (again ensure hw:1,0 is match with what your arecord -l reports) | 19:16 |
| mlpug | and my very first question where do you expect sound. I am not using ardour but I guess you are not supposed to hear what you say to mic without explicitly recording&playing or without routing the audio to the speakers. So how do you expect to see the audio in ardour? | 19:18 |
| andrew_ | well with the mixer in ardour shows nothing on the channel strip | 19:19 |
| mlpug | but yes putting ardour recording rolling you should see waveforms flowing into a track | 19:19 |
| andrew_ | ya i dont | 19:19 |
| andrew_ | sorry for the lack of knowledge totally new to linux | 19:20 |
| mlpug | but if you try that commandline recording the you have more idea if the problem is in maudio-usb world or in ardour world | 19:20 |
| andrew_ | ok ill try that ill have to get back here this should take me a while new to the command line to lol | 19:21 |
| andrew_ | card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC662 rev3 Analog [ALC662 rev3 Analog] | 19:23 |
| andrew_ | Subdevices: 1/1 | 19:23 |
| andrew_ | Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 | 19:23 |
| andrew_ | card 1: Track [Fast Track], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] | 19:23 |
| andrew_ | Subdevices: 1/1 | 19:23 |
| andrew_ | Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 | 19:23 |
| andrew_ | thats what i get from a record | 19:23 |
| mlpug | okay. then arecord -D hw:1,0 -d 12 -f cd test.wav some leds may blink in the maudio if it has leds, turn the kmaudio gain nobs, but the mic on, and sing | 19:26 |
| andrew_ | the led is blinking on the maudio but still no signal getting to ardour and no auudio | 19:39 |
| andrew_ | i may have made a mistake in typing the command | 19:39 |
| === Unit193 is now known as TheMaster | ||
| holstein | delt: you can "pin" the package to the older version, but i would personally just update, and test, and make a note of what version is working, so you can revert to it | 22:12 |
