[04:39] <delt> Hello
[04:39] <delt> quick question, is there a way to mark a package so that it doesn't get updated? ie. if i'm working on a project, and i don't want apt-get to overwrite my local version of that project....?
[16:10] <holstein> delt: package pinning
[16:10] <holstein> delt: you can do that from the GUI easily in synaptic
[16:11] <holstein> delt: it can be problematic
[19:49] <jarnos_> htop shows 150% CPU usage for X when I use Google Maps by Firefox on Ubuntu Studio 14.04 64bit.
[19:49] <holstein> jarnos_: is that flash?
[19:49] <holstein> jarnos_: if so, try the pepperflash in chrome..
[19:49] <holstein> http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[19:50] <jarnos_> holstein, I think it is not flash.
[19:51] <holstein> jarnos_: cool.. just confirm that it is or not, and  go from there
[19:51] <holstein> jarnos_: you can always easily install chromium-browser or something like midori and test.. isolate firefox from the euqation easily
[20:01] <jarnos_> holstein, there is an issue with chromium-browser in my system: mouse cursor stops moving, if I e.g. watch youtube video, and I have to reboot.
[20:01] <holstein> jarnos_: sure, friend.. again, thats flash related
[20:01] <holstein> jarnos_: you can see at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ where, flash is *not* provided for linux desktop anymore
[20:02] <holstein> jarnos_: you can visit http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and see that your flash version is older, and consider using the pepperflash i reference, that, as uyou can read at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ is the latest version
[20:02] <jarnos_> holstein, no, it also happens, if I have not installed that pepperflash thing.
[20:03] <holstein> jarnos_: how about this, *try* using the pepperflash, since, you state you have not, and you and i can both read, factually, that adobe doesnt support your situation now
[20:03] <holstein> i think you'll find that, your issue with youtue in chromium is directly related to flash, and im assuming that the google chrome issue in firefox is also related
[20:04] <holstein> if you find that its not.. you can use
[20:04] <holstein> !bug
[20:04] <holstein> and the support channels for adobe, and firefox directly to try and work it out.. and also, main #ubuntu ,since ubuntustudio is just pulling in firefox and other parts of this, and not doing anything to prevent them from working
[20:05] <holstein> jarnos_: to prevent from having to "reboot" while testing, use TTY
[20:05] <holstein> !tty
[20:05] <holstein> you can either reboot there without forcing anything, or kill processes
[20:10] <_DB> sup
[20:10] <_DB> I'm a game developer just bought a new laptop but it came with windows 8
[20:10] <jarnos_> holstein, the problem is with chromium with and without pepperflash.
[20:11] <_DB> was wondering does ubuntu studio come with any 3 modelling programs / photoshop like programs / and music producing programs
[20:12] <jarnos_> holstein, problem might be a bug in graphics driver.
[20:15] <jarnos_> holstein, do you think I could make cursor move again without rebooting?
[20:43] <jarnos_> holstein, I could test google maps in chromium without flash and hardware acceleration disabled (in advanced settings) and it is still faster than in Firefox.
[21:27] <OvenWerks> _DB: Blender comes top mind
[21:29] <OvenWerks> Blender was used to create Sintel, Big Buck Bunny and others.
[21:36] <rwb> Blender (3D modeling/animation), Gimp (Photoshop) Ardour (DAW)...  I would separate Ardour on its own machine though if you are serious about an audio workstation.
