[02:17] <shaunh> Just loaded studio on my laptop.
[02:19] <shaunh> Later I'm going to try to get SEQ24 linked to Jack.  Any help/advice welcome.
[03:11] <computer1> hi i am having some problems ... -need help :(
[03:11] <computer1> i have an error report...

[03:23] <computer1> ubuntu studio wont install says partman error
[03:27] <cfhowlett> computer1, put your paste on fpaste.org             (pastebin is blocked in Beijing.   don't ask me why)

[03:32] <cfhowlett> !raid | computer1, ah, it's a raid/lvm.   I'm a raid virgin.  ask the #ubuntu-server channel.
[03:33] <computer1> thanx 4 looking ill check it out ;)
[03:38] <holstein> computer1: are you trying to get faster write speed with raid?
[07:02] <jarnos> Has ubuntustudio changed the default font in xfce4-terminal?
[09:47] <shaunh> I'm a total newbie. Please can anyone advise me how to conect SEQ24 Jack?
[09:49] <shaunh> SEQ24 to QJackclt
[10:28] <zequence> shaunh: Check out #opensourcemusicians. More active users there.
[10:29] <shaunh> Thanks - will do.
[11:58] <shaunh> All  sorted :-)
[13:31] <paul_> I have X startup issues. I use xfce4 on Ubuntu Studio
[13:32] <cfhowlett> !details | paul_
[13:32] <paul_> I get what seems to be multiple startups - first the xfce default graphic, then a gradient, but never the graphics I set it to through the background settings. Also, conky, which starts at the beginning of the session, gets clobbered (but stays in the background)
[13:34] <paul_> Conky "disappears" when the gradient background comes up.
[13:35] <paul_> And it stays on the gradient background
[13:37] <paul_> I will search for errors, but is there a pastebin on my xchat app, or do you mean pastebin on a particular website?
[13:46] <paul_> I can't find anything suspicious under dmesg, Xorg.0.log, syslog, or kern.log. I then think something is misconfigured in a file somewhere. Anyone know where xfce configuration files are found?
[13:51] <holstein> paul_: i sleep my startup of conky, but, i suggest removing it from the equation there, and test what is your issue
[13:51] <holstein> paul_: *all* configs are in your user's /home, but i would look at the graphics driver
[13:51] <holstein> i would also go upstream to the #xubuntu channel or #ubuntu
[13:56] <paul_> I think it might go back to my deciding to use gradients some time ago, but then changing my mind and  using graphics. I see this as xfce not "forgetting" my old config and just going through everything. I am not sure how you see this as a driver issue. For the record, I have an Nvidia driver for a zotac GTX/650 card.
[13:56] <holstein> paul_: i dont, friend
[13:57] <holstein> paul_: i see *lots* of simlar issues that end up being nvidia driver related, which is why i volunteer the suggestion
[13:58] <holstein> its quite easy to take a live CD of 14.04 and test with your specific hardware and a "default" config.. if you feel that would be helpful
[13:58] <paul_> should I use a generic driver? if so what do you recommend?
[13:58] <holstein> paul_: the problem is, *i* cant recommend one. the ideal sceario would be, nvidia would recomend on.. but, they dont
[13:58] <holstein> paul_: im not saying its a driver issue, just that, you may want to consider troubleshooting for that
[13:59] <paul_> ok thanks
[14:02] <paul_> I went through the hardware menu and found a dialog for "NVIDIA X Server settings". It has the NVIDIA logo on the top right corner. I suspect this is their proprietary driver.
[14:04] <paul_> Anyway, I have enough to go on to do some snooping. thanks for the input.
[23:08] <OvenWerks> holstein: Do you use electric bass as well as upright? Do you have any opinion on strings? I am looking at upgrading my fretless (an old beat up squire I ripped the frets out of) to a nice bass.
[23:15] <OvenWerks> I have been using half round strings on both my Ric as well as the squire with no obvious wear to the finger board. However, It seems the "flat wound" strings are very common on fretless and seem to still have some brightness on the bass I was looking at.
[23:16] <OvenWerks> The one I was looking at is the Ibanez Portamento which has piezos under the bridges, so that may be more of the brightness than strings.
[23:21] <OvenWerks> I would have the choice between 4 and 5 string, but my experience has been the low D is nice but by the time I hit C it is pretty muddy, so I am not sure on that either.
