[10:09] <stephen_> Hi all
[10:09] <stephen_> Is there any possibility of a bit of help?
[10:09] <cfhowlett> !ask | stephen_,
[10:10] <stephen_> ok thanks
[10:11] <stephen_> Well i installed ubuntu studio a couple of days ago and have had no issue using ardour 3 and this morning i started it up and the jack isnt connecting, so i look into the connections box in jack and there are no audio connections, only midi connection with alsa
[10:11] <stephen_> im losing whats left of my hair
[10:13] <stephen_> jack has always put me off using linux
[10:14] <cfhowlett> stephen_, I've never needed it for my modest recording needs and don't have enough knowledge or jack nor ardour to advise.  #opensourcemusicians would likely know
[10:15] <stephen_> its a night mare trust me
[20:30] <eric__> How do I find my PC's system info (device manager)
[20:30] <holstein> eric__: anything in particular?
[20:31] <eric__> Trying to find out my CPU type on this laptop...that I have installed Ubuntu on
[20:31] <zequence> eric__: in the terminal: lscpu
[20:32] <holstein> !info hardinfo
[20:33] <holstein> sudo apt-get install hardinfo
[20:33] <Unit193> Or lshw even.  inxi -fxxx too.  So many ways.
[20:34] <holstein> or, whatever package manager you prefer.. "System Profiler" or something like that in the menu
[20:34] <zequence> lshw is not bad. Haven't used the others.
[20:34] <zequence> You get more info than you would from Windows device manager, in either case
[20:35] <zequence> (well, depends, perhaps)
[20:36] <zequence> Ah, hardinfo is a gui tool
[20:36] <zequence> Probably what you want, if you're used to that
[20:36] <holstein> might look more familiar
[20:36] <eric__> thanks... trying it now. Was trying to install BitWig Studio, but it errors out stating "Wrong Architecture AMD64". I have a 64bit processor, but my version of Ubuntu is 32 bit
[20:37] <holstein> eric__: usually, since there are only 2 options, if one fails, you can just try the other
[20:38] <zequence> The CPU will not decide if you can install or not
[20:39] <zequence> If you have a 32 bit OS, then you can only install 32 bit apps, even if the processor is 64 bit
[20:40] <Unit193> zequence: There's even lshw-gtk, if you really want.
[20:40] <zequence> oh
[20:42] <eric__> Thanks.... it's my OS that fudging me up... I wonder if there is a 64 bit version of Ubuntu Studio?
[20:42] <zequence> Sure
[20:42] <zequence> amd64 is the 64 bit version
[20:43] <zequence> But, if the error from installing the package is saying you have the wrong arch, which is 64 bit, I would bet you are trying to install a 32 bit application onto a 64 bit OS. Maybe I'm reading it wrong?
[20:45] <eric__> Nope, I just found out BitWig Studio is 64bit, but they misled you in the description
[20:45] <zequence> https://ubuntustudio.org/download/
[20:45] <zequence> The 64 bit ISO links are to the left of the 32 bit ones
[20:48] <eric__> I will download them now... I only used the 32 bit, because the laptops  am using are old, and have less than 3 gigs of RAM
[20:52] <andrew> hello newbie here with a problem.Using jack with yoshimi and maudio keystation 49e
[20:55] <andrew> in my conn window in jack under audio i have pulse jack sink,system and yosh in the outputs and under inputs i have pulse audio jack source and system
[20:56] <andrew> in the midi window under inputs have yosh,but nothing for output
[20:56] <andrew> in the alsa tab i have midi through and my maudio 49.Where am i going wrong
[20:57] <andrew> in the midi tab midi through is in both output and input the same with the maudio
[20:58] <andrew> im really new so if there is some type of guide i would be happy to check that out.also im new to the command line to
[21:10] <zequence> andrew: Two kinds of midi. Jack and ALSA
[21:10] <zequence> andrew: Use a2jmidid to create a bridge in between
[21:10] <zequence> in the terminal: a2jmidid
[21:10] <zequence> you could add that as a pre jack script in qjackctl
[21:11] <andrew> how do i do that
[21:11] <zequence> add the script?
[21:12] <zequence> Try running the tool in the terminal first, and see how the connections work
[21:12] <zequence> The script can be simple, like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8162863/
[21:12] <zequence> Save that in a file, and make it executable
[21:13] <zequence> You might need a script for killing it once you quit jack, so you don't get multiple a2jmidids (if that is even possible)
[21:13] <zequence> I usually just run it manually from the terminal, as I don't need it that often
[21:14] <andrew> ok when i typed that into the terminal in the midi tab it says a2j both in and out
[21:14] <zequence> expand it, and you should see your keyboard
[21:15] <andrew> when i expand it it say midi through 14 capture and play back
[21:19] <andrew> jack setup has me confused if i chose the keybord it says to restart jack but when i do i get dbus error
[21:20] <andrew> cant start jack the only way i can get jack to work is to use the default for my interface.
[21:20] <andrew> sorry im all confused
[21:24] <andrew> is there any documentation that will explain what all of jack is i see a2jmidid,jackd,jackdmp,I dont even know what this stuff is.And i dont want to take time from you guys with what seems to be very basic stuff
[23:12] <lehthanis> hey all, I have an upgrade question ;)  I'm running 12.04 LTS...and in the upgrade manager I see 14.04.1 LTS is available and I can upgrade there...will that work ok?  This computer spends most of it's time offline, and I bring portable internet to it.
[23:12] <lehthanis> so doing a full format/wipe is difficult, if I can just do an upgrade, and still be in good shape, that'd be awesome.
