[05:20] Ubuntustudio 14.04.1 32bit livedvd doesn't play avi video. It's on pause and I can't start it. Why? [09:59] 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? [10:03] Is here anyone? [10:19] Linnak, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras [10:20] I know. Thank, but why isn't built in already? [10:20] !info xubuntu-restricted-extrasLinnak, legal. [10:20] 'legal.' is not a valid distribution: extras, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, stable, testing, trusty, trusty-backports, trusty-proposed, unstable, utopic, utopic-backports, utopic-proposed [10:20] !info xubuntu-restricted-extras Linnak, legal.

Depends on my Merory size? [10:21] Linnak, yes. [10:22] So because XFCE has that's why doesn't has the codec? Why Voyager Linux has. That is also with XFCE? [10:23] voyager is not ubuntu. xfce is not a codec - it's a desktop environment. restricted extras are LEGALLY restricted. [10:24] Let me see clearer. Voyager based on Xubuntu, Xubuntu based on Ubuntu. All based on Ubuntu. Why Ubuntustudio is restricted and oders not? [10:25] Linnak, see the first paragraph ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [10:25] Linnak, voyager IS NOT ubuntu. [10:25] Based ON [10:25] Linnak, read the link [10:25] I'm reading [10:26] All the links below easy install are disabled [10:26] Can I "remaster" a LiveCD for myself with the codecs? [10:27] Linnak, of course. [10:27] I know remastersys is down. What is instead nowdays? [10:27] Linnak, note that one additional codec is required to play DVD's [10:28] Linnak, never mastered one myself. please ask how to custom master in #ubuntu ... more eyes on the problem. [10:28] Thank you. [10:28] Linnak, happy2help === jonas_ is now known as Guest58344 [12:21] i've tried lmms on ubuntu 14.04 but the version 1.0.0 seems a little unstable.. what i can do? [16:13] bah [16:14] bah__: how can we assist you? [16:46] Hello [16:47] qtractor just hangs there on startup - how to get it working? === delt_ is now known as delt [16:54] Just tested with the guest account, left qtractor running several minutes - nothing. [17:00] strace -Ff stops outputting after startup [17:10] aha, got it... it's something to do with LV2 plugins. [17:11] Setting LV2_PATH to say, /tmp didn't help, but moving /lib/lv2 to /lib/lv2_ did, now i get a running qtractor. [17:12] except no LV2 plugins. [17:13] delt: sounds like it may be an issue in the lv2's then [17:14] delt: is jack running stable before trying to start qtractor? do other DAW's use the lv2's? are you using any ppa's? [17:15] jack seems to be running fine. [17:15] renoise is also running, using jack. [17:15] no ppa's at the moment. [17:16] are you up to date with upgrades? [17:16] yeah, as far as i can tell... [17:16] delt: ? [17:16] delt: in a terminal, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [17:16] qtractor is already the newest version. [17:17] why dist-upgrade? [17:17] 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] delt: its not "distribution upgrade" [17:17] delt: i suggest it becuase it will update everything with apt [17:18] 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 [17:22] !paste [17:22] 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. [17:24] ah ok thanks [17:28] anyway, the update completed, and moving lv2_ back to lv2, same problem: qtractor just shows an empty window and hangs there... [17:29] seems like there was nothing touching /usr/lib/lv2 in the update, or else i would have ended up with a duplicate lv2 directory [17:30] 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] jack is running stable [17:30] delt: keep in mind, i do not know any of the changes you have made, that can be "breaking" the system [17:31] 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] and i do run qtractor from the command line, it gives no messages on stdout [17:31] i would look at qjackctl as well and check ghe messages there [17:31] the* [17:31] i ran it through strace -Ff and the messages stop after it completed startup [17:32] delt: after what completed startup? [17:33] qtractor [17:33] delt: i was troubleshooting with you that qtractor wouldnt start.. so, we'll have to go back a few steps since it *is* starting [17:34] oh, qtractor causes a LOT of error messages in qjackctl's "messages" window... 2 sec i'm pastebin'ing it [17:34] im not understanding the issues [17:34] pastebin is being slow... [17:36] trying again..... [17:36] firefox still says "sending request to pastebin.com..." [17:37] 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] ok, faster this way: http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/qjackctl.txt [17:38] or, finally, http://pastebin.com/8ydaFxrT [17:39] i would just relax my jack settings.. it could be that simple [17:39] this is with renoise closed down, but qtractor still hanged on startup [17:40] delt: i would make sure those processes are not running in the background still [17:40] ps xau | grep -i renoise gives me nothing [17:40] except the ps xau process itself [17:40] delt: sure.. renoise is *not* what we are talking about, correct? [17:41] delt: are we not troubleshooting qtractor? [17:41] 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] please check that *all* processes using jack are stopped, stop jack, and relax the settings [17:41] delt: ok [17:41] delt: just ignore that then, and do this, specifically [17:42] so, what would be "relaxed" enough settings? [17:42] 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] delt: i would relax them, extremely, as a test [17:42] delt: like, 80+ms latency setting, whatever that is for your hardware [17:43] ok, stopped jack, i still have two "/usr/bin/jackdbus auto" processes running, but that is normal i guess [17:43] delt: no [17:43] delt: i would kill *all* jack processes.. and relax the settings [17:44] ok, had to kill them -9 [17:45] now i have only qjackctl running with jack off ... so to speak (: [17:46] well... stopped =) [17:47] 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] at 44.1k [17:47] i would leave the periods to 2. or at least experiement with that at 2 [17:47] raise the other.. the frames/buffer [17:48] regardless, dont waste too much time here.. this is *not* a fix.. its just a step for you to learn from [17:48] ok, frames set to 2048 for the same latency [17:49] click "ok" then "start" ? [17:50] 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 [17:58] delt: ok [17:58] delt: enjoy! [17:58] delt: i would then, as i said in the beginning, look into the lv2 plugins [17:58] delt: you can try #opensourcemusicians [17:59] weird thing is, looks like it still tries to load them when i set LV2_PATH to, say, /tmp [17:59] delt: sure.. its *designed* to load them [17:59] or /asldkfjaksldfj [17:59] delt: its advertised as loading them [17:59] i personally wouldnt mess about with the settings there.. [17:59] like /usr/lib/lv2 was hardcoded in qtractor or something [18:00] could be [18:00] i would step back into older versions of qtractor.. i would troubleshoot with jack settings.. i would try lv2's other places.. [18:00] seems like it might be, according to http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11530 [18:01] so, try another version of qtractor [18:01] !bug [18:01] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [18:01] for backporting the "Fix" if there is one, and you can confirm the issue, and thats the issue [18:02] how do i "apt-get" an older version of a package? [18:02] or do i have to find the .deb file, if it's available somewhere? [18:19] hope someone can help me getting frustrated.M audio fast track showing in alsa but no sound [18:22] holstein: downgraded qtractor to qtractor_0.5.4-1_amd64.deb, problem appears to be solved. [18:22] holstein: question is, when i do an update, will it overwrite it again with the newer version? [18:23] if so, how can i prevent that? [18:28] hope someone can help me getting frustrated.M audio fast track showing in alsa but no sound [18:35] andrew_, where do you expect sound [18:36] turn all mic switches on and gains to southeast, connect maudio to system output in jackd. yes sound should come from your speakers [18:37] 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 [18:40] in the setup window of qjackc i see hw1 fast track and hw o usb audio [18:45] 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 [18:46] otherwise it tries to record from some other device than you think [18:47] im new to this stuff what do you mean by parameter c [18:47] 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] I refer to the last parameter "-C hw:1,0" [18:49] ok in aplay -l and arecord -l i see the fast track [18:50] see the maudio card number and device number from arecord -l [18:50] and use those when you launch jackd [18:53] ok thanx ill try it but have to restart because now im getting an error dbus jak cant be started [19:01] you can also killall jackd [19:09] well i started jack with the terminal command but i still have nothing going to ardour [19:12] and no sound [19:16] 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) [19:18] 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? [19:19] well with the mixer in ardour shows nothing on the channel strip [19:19] but yes putting ardour recording rolling you should see waveforms flowing into a track [19:19] ya i dont [19:20] sorry for the lack of knowledge totally new to linux [19:20] but if you try that commandline recording the you have more idea if the problem is in maudio-usb world or in ardour world [19:21] ok ill try that ill have to get back here this should take me a while new to the command line to lol [19:23] card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC662 rev3 Analog [ALC662 rev3 Analog] [19:23] Subdevices: 1/1 [19:23] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [19:23] card 1: Track [Fast Track], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] [19:23] Subdevices: 1/1 [19:23] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [19:23] thats what i get from a record [19:26] 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 [19:39] the led is blinking on the maudio but still no signal getting to ardour and no auudio [19:39] i may have made a mistake in typing the command === Unit193 is now known as TheMaster [22:12] 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
