[04:22] <delt> question... i have 2 machines running ubuntu studio (desktop computer and laptop) ... very often, the software updater downloads stuff in duplicate. Is there a way to avoid wasting bandwidth, for example, by sharing the directory where the files are downloaded by the software updater?
[04:24] <delt> actually, the whole root of the desktop machine is shared via NFS to the laptop. So it might be just a matter of replacing a directory by a symlink...?
[04:27] <holstein> delt: the short answer is, yes
[04:27] <holstein> you wont do it from one machine to the other, like that.. you'll basically, make your own server for your updates, locally.. that could be one of the machines.. then, you updated the machines for that
[04:28] <holstein> delt: you pay for your data per mb like that?
[06:43] <ubuntu-studio> ubuntu studio hangs on login
[06:43] <ubuntu-studio> how to resolve?
[06:43] <holstein> ubuntu-studio: sure.. whats going on?
[06:44] <ubuntu-studio> after i give login id and passwd the desktop icons do not appear
[06:44] <holstein> what would i do? i would boot the guest account or another user, and see that the issue is in my user account
[06:45] <holstein> if all is "Normal" as the guest, then the issue is likely in the users /home
[06:45] <ubuntu-studio> guest account boots perfectly
[06:45] <holstein> i would then, either just rename ~/.config or just the xfce specific configs, reboot or relog, and let the os generate new configs that are not broken
[06:47] <ubuntu-studio> are you sure that can help?
[06:47] <ubuntu-studio> will the os not crash ?
[06:48] <ubuntu-studio> or any data loss
[06:48] <holstein> ubuntu-studio: correct.. the os will *not* crash, and you are not removing or deleting anything
[06:48] <holstein> you are not removing anyting, so you will not lose anything
[06:48] <ubuntu-studio> ok l shall try that
[06:48] <ubuntu-studio> thank you
[06:48] <holstein> what you will lose is, the "bad" or "broken" config
[06:48] <holstein> then you can put back what you like, or what you need
[06:49] <holstein> you can drill down into ~/.config and just rename the xfce specific directories
[06:49] <ubuntu-studio> ok
[07:22] <ubuntu-studio> deleting xfce folder in .config folder didnt help
[07:23] <ubuntu-studio> the same problem persists
[07:23] <ubuntu-studio> after login system freezes
[07:24] <holstein> ubuntu-studio: thats not the problem you mentioned before
[07:24] <holstein> ubuntu-studio: i was addressing the desktop icons missing.. what is the deal? exactly?
[07:25] <holstein> ubuntu-studio: i also specifically stated *not* to delete that folder
[07:26] <ubuntu-studio> after login the icons, panel etc do not appear
[07:27] <ubuntu-studio> only i can go to tty1,2,3 etc
[07:27] <holstein> ubuntu-studio: but, the guest account is normal? how about other users? will you please login in tty, and create one..
[07:30] <ubuntu-studio> i tried creating another user but when i tried to login, it took the credentials and again displayed to login to the main user, that is my account
[07:31] <holstein> ubuntu-studio: what?
[07:31] <holstein> ubuntu-studio: you created a new user? and logged in? but, what happened?
[07:32] <holstein> the user *didnt* login, and you are kicked back to the login manager?
[07:32] <holstein> can you login as that user in tty?
[07:35] <holstein> ubuntu-studio: i go to sleep, friend, and it gets *quiet* in this channel.. please try #xubuntu and/or #ubuntu for you issue, since its not ubuntustudio specific, and there many not be any other volunteers around.. cheers!
[07:36] <ubuntu-studio> yes i am again being asked to login to my account

[16:20] <LightAce> Hello all
[16:26] <seeliger> seeliger
[16:44] <it__> hello
[16:46] <it__> ubuntu studio isn-t recognizing any of my midi devices or audio interface (alesis i02) neither for recording audio nor for midi/input audio
[16:46] <it__> does this mean it would take a lot of work to have everything up and running?
[16:50] <it__> anybody there please?
[16:52] <it__> cat /dev/midi1 is moving so the system is really receiving midi signal
[16:52] <it__> why can't it just use it then?
[16:55] <it__> GMidi doesn't receive anything and I really don't understand why
[17:02] <it__> too bad :(
