=== order is now known as chaos-
chaos-i want install my maschine controller and my soundcard, focusrite saffire 6 usb14:22
chaos-??14:28
holsteinchaos-: you just plug it in, and it should work15:02
holsteinchaos-: those are class compliant, AFAIK15:02
holsteinchaos-: please refer to..15:02
holstein!audio15:02
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.15:02
holsteinand..15:02
holstein!proaudio15:02
ubottuFor information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro15:02
holsteinand the channel in your native language, and let us know if you have any specific questions15:03
chaos-my soundcard focusrite saffire isnt work too15:03
holsteinchaos-: right, and i understand thats what you are saying.. but, thats not necessarily true15:03
holsteinchaos-: it could be, you have not learned to set it up propoerly, or route to it15:03
chaos-thats the reason beacuse im here :)15:04
holsteinchaos-: what would i do? in the links above, you can read about identifying the hardware.. you can open a terminal and run "lsusb".. you should see the device there.. if so, you move on to "aplay -l" and "arecord -l"15:04
holstein!paste15:04
ubottuFor 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.15:04
holstein^ you can paste the outputs if you need assistance understanding the output15:05
chaos-thanks15:05
holsteinthose commands will help you identify the device, and see that it is being recognized.. and understand that it *is* "installed"15:05
holsteini would also just use my internal audio device to learn to use JACK, and route in JACK and using pavucontrol in pulse15:06
holsteinif you have *many* new variables.. new to linux, new to ubuntu, new to ubuntustudio *and* a device that is not promised to work with linux, dont try and tackle all of that at once15:07
chaos-how can install jack 215:07
chaos-or caiaq15:07
holsteinchaos-: jack is included in ubuntustudio15:07
chaos-jack2?15:07
holsteinchaos-: jack is included in the default repos.. you can use the package manager of your choice to install it15:08
chaos-yes i have it15:08
holsteinchaos-: that is not why your device is not working15:08
chaos-in patchage can i see the maschine controller15:08
chaos-i read i have to install caiaq15:09
holsteinchaos-: *if*/when you learn to properly setup and use the device, jack will allow you to route to it15:09
holstein!info snd-usb-caiaq15:10
ubottuPackage snd-usb-caiaq does not exist in trusty15:10
holstein^ is that what you are referring to?15:10
chaos-yes15:10
holsteinchaos-: you shouldnt need to add anything to support your device15:10
chaos-ok15:10
holsteinchaos-: i have many usb audio devices.. i literally plug them in, and follow the links and steps i outlined to determine how and if i can use them in the operating system im using (ubuntustudio/linux) that the manufacturers dont support or provide drivers for15:11
chaos-i want use bitwig whit my maschine mk115:12
chaos-my soundcard istn work too15:12
chaos-its a saffire 6usb15:13
holsteinchaos-: yes.. i understand.. but, again, this is adding an unecessary variable15:13
chaos-ok15:13
holsteinchaos-: please *unplug* the USB device, and learn to use JACK with the internal audio device15:13
holstein*then*, you can either learn to use bitwig, *or* the USB device.. its not constructive or helpful to do both at the same time15:13
holsteinget one thing working.. then, only change one variable as you learn15:14
chaos-im gonna read about jack15:14
chaos-thanks15:15
holsteinmake sure you simplify the hardware setup as well.. no USB hubs.. disable or unplug/remove the internal audio device, so when you get to troubleshooting the USB device, it will be the only one15:16
holsteinkeep in mind, you are not promised hardware support from focusrite.. they hire a team of experts to write drivers for you for other operating system.. when you go on your own with linux, which they dont support, you are taking that burden of support on yourself15:17
holsteinthere is nothing ubuntu/linux/ubuntustuduio is doing to prevent the focusrite from working in linux, but, there is little that the alsa team can do, officially, to make it work if it doesnt15:17
holsteinbut, AFAIK, that device is plug and play, class compliant.. and "just works" tm15:18
chaos-thanks15:20
thomasevdupgraded to 14 from 12 ardour is asking for ffprobe and ffmpeg but these are removed from rep. what to do? thx16:50
holsteinthomasevd: you upgraded ardour?17:13
holsteinor, you mean, "i did a distrobution upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to ubuntu 14.04" ?17:13
holsteinthomasevd: regardless, its a good idea to disable or purge ppa packages.. there are no ubuntustudio repositories, so, if you have no ppa's added right now, just run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in a terminal and share any errors via..17:14
holstein!paste17:14

thomasevddistribution upgrade specifically for ardour317:17
holsteinthomasevd: sure17:17
holsteinthomasevd: there is no such thing17:17
holsteinthomasevd: ardour 3 is in the main repo.. so, if you want it in 14.04, you just install it17:17
holsteinthomasevd: i would start with the commands i linked, to identify any errors you are having with your packages.. then, move on to getting ardour installed17:18
holsteinshould be able to easily find both ardour 2 and 3 in the main default repo17:18
thomasevdboth ardour2 and ardour3 are now installed, ardour3 installed when I did a distribution update will run your commands ..17:19
thomasevdapt-get upgrade wants to install 14 packages yet ...17:22
thomasevdok so all upgrades done I run ardour3 and try to import a video and get "No ffprobe or ffmpeg executables could be found on this system..."17:26
holsteinthomasevd: i would try #ardour and the forums for it17:28
holsteinthomasevd: they will suggest trying the latest from the site17:28
thomasevdok thx17:29
holsteinseems to me like you dont have what is needed for ardour to import the video17:29
holsteinthomasevd: i would make sure my system has ffmpeg, for whatever it needs.. avconv17:29
thomasevdffmpeg is no longer in repos !!17:30
holsteinthomasevd: thats why i said "whatever it needs".. though, there are many ways to deal with it17:30
holsteinhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/432542/is-ffmpeg-missing-from-the-official-repositories-in-14-04 for example references a PPA and other alternatives17:31
thomasevdsaw that but my question is why wouldn't the distribution install needed packages for ardour3 in the first place oh well thanks anyways17:35
waykool99By slight chance, anyone use 50/50 partitions: ubuntu studio v10.04.4 32 BIT (non) LTS -and- ubuntu studio v14.04.1 amd64 LTS on same HD's?  Wondering if any problems might arise from editing Audio files (back and forth) -or- might I consider a possible VM to do this?18:25
holstein!10.0418:25
ubottuUbuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu.  Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details.18:25
holsteinwaykool99: what do you mean by "v10.04.4 32bit (non) LTS"?18:26
holsteinanyways.. i have 2 systems on my production machine at all times18:26
holsteinnothing about any production workflow will work well in VM18:26
waykool99heard 3 years ago 10.04 LTS was going to expire.   in was no news to me.18:27
holsteinwaykool99: what do you mean by "non LTS" ?18:27
holsteinediting a simple "audio file" will be like editing a text document.. it'll just edit and save..18:27
waykool99non - meaning its no longer Long Term Support18:27
holsteinwaykool99: no.. it *was* lts. its no longer supported at all18:28
holsteinthe repos are still hot for the server edition18:28
waykool99i love both OS's but using 6 PC's., ages from 2 months to 16 years old.18:28
holsteinsure.. and do what you like.. but, there is not "non lts" 10.0418:28
holsteinits just EOL.. it *was* lts18:29
holsteinanyways.. its like this.. if you have a text editor, or libre office on many machines.. you open and edit a file, and save it back. you can open it with another18:29
holsteinnow.. something like ardour is a bit different, but, ardour is ardour.. and you would open the ardour session, and it opens18:30
waykool99lol. i understand you perfectly.  but many have screamed at me "10.04 LTS is no longer ($#&^%) supported.  have to be sensitive whenever i ask the question.18:30
holsteinyou get into trouble with plugins and locations.. but, its not going to prevent the sesssion from opening18:30
holsteini wrote 14.04 over my 10.04 partition. and i still have the 12.04 partition.. i will keep that til 16.0418:31
holsteini do most of my work in one.. but, it really depends on what you are doing and expecting18:31
holsteini would have good backups regardless.. and maybe a setup with verion control18:31
waykool99plus-- on old computers, Xfce still sends crash reports at very inappriate times.18:31
holsteinwell, when things crash, that can launch.. if i have that issue , i disable the reporting.. after filing bugs18:32
waykool99*inappropriate18:32
holsteinthough, on older hardware, its not realistic to expect attention18:32
waykool99most would be surprised what Linux can do on old computers.18:33
waykool99i still use ubuntu desktop v7.10 and knoppix v5.0.1 cd's for certain things. knoppix v5, ext 4 had't been invented yet, neither had wireless internet.18:36
waykool99i always submit bug reports. why? because the only way developers can fix things, if we communicate with them on hardware/software conflicts.  no 2 computers on this planet are exactly alike.18:43
holsteinwell, its really up to the manufacturers.. in cases like intel where they support linux, you can see how that helps18:44
holsteinanyways.. when hardware ages, the support for it is dropped from the kernel.. "legacy" hardware18:44
waykool99as a hobby, i rebuild old computers. i keep old 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" floppy drives, old IDE ribbon cables, old creative SB sound cards and old ATI/nVidia graphics cards.  i barter with customers.  In exchange for fixing their old computer, they give me old VCR's, vinyl 45, 3 1/3 and 78", which i also rebuild.18:49
waykool99plus turntables, cassette/8 track tape players.18:49
waykool99most important, i install ubuntu Linux on their computers.  give them a quick tutorial on getting used to the OS.18:51
thomasevdre ardour3 so compiled ffmpeg from source and ln -s ffmpeg ffmpeg_harvid; ln -s ffprobe ffprobe_harvid and all seems good now19:04
holsteinyup.. you could add the PPA i referenced as well.. or tell ardour to use avconv19:04
thomasevdyes but avconv is not in repos either!!19:05
holstein!info libav19:05
ubottuPackage libav does not exist in trusty19:05
holstein!info libav-tools19:05
ubottulibav-tools (source: libav): Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 6:9.16-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (trusty), package size 3187 kB, installed size 9350 kB19:05
holsteinits in the link i gave.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/432542/is-ffmpeg-missing-from-the-official-repositories-in-14-0419:06
holsteinprobably just need to add it, and it "just works"19:06
thomasevdok thanks all -19:08
