| vlt | Hello. How can I use the Salamander piano samples on Ubuntustudio? Is linuxsampler available on 14.10? | 18:48 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | vlt: AFAIK, its not in the repos | 18:49 |
| holstein | vlt: should be able to find a PPA, or just build it according to the creators specs | 18:51 |
| holstein | http://wootangent.net/tag/linuxsampler/ is a friend that uses ubuntu and linux sampler | 18:52 |
| holstein | he's [lsd] in #opensourcemusicians | 18:52 |
| vlt | holstein: Thank you! | 18:53 |
| vlt | Wasn't there a decent studio distro also with linuxsampler? kxstudio maybe? | 18:54 |
| holstein | vlt: "decent" will always be a matter of opinion, and what is allowed to be included in the repos is not a reflection of quality in any way | 18:55 |
| holstein | vlt: ubuntu/ubuntustudio/linux is not prevening linuxsampler from running on it | 18:55 |
| holstein | vlt: i believe it was removed and not able to be included due to licensing.. | 18:55 |
| holstein | vlt: if you would like it to be included, let the creators know that, and the community welcomes it | 18:56 |
| vlt | Aah ... ok! | 18:56 |
| holstein | vlt: otherwise, kxstudio ppa's are among the sources i reference that provide that tool | 18:56 |
| jamie_ | hey I was wanting to switch over to ubuntu studio, I am currently using ubuntu 14.10 and have quite a bit of work saved on here and i am trying not to loose everything | 21:11 |
| holstein | jamie_: sure.. dont | 21:21 |
| holstein | jamie_: ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu | 21:22 |
| holstein | jamie_: just install what you want/need from the ubuntustudio software into your current installation. but, i also suggest you plan for *when* you lose that installation due to hardware failure, and backup properly | 21:22 |
| holstein | otherwise, you can use the ubuntustudio live iso to learn what you would like to be using from ubuntustuduio | 21:22 |
| jamie_ | holstein: thanks. I know about the back up stuff... I work for mozilla | 21:28 |
| holstein | sure, and im just addressing the "i have a lot of work on there and im trying not to loose everything", since, you will, and it will have nothing to do with this issue | 21:29 |
| jamie_ | and is the insatall and apt-get, the repository, and the graphics drives | 21:29 |
| jamie_ | the same | 21:29 |
| holstein | jamie_: there is no "repository".. ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu | 21:29 |
| jamie_ | okay thanks | 21:30 |
| jamie_ | holstein: sorry for the annoyance... kinda multi tasking right now, sorry | 21:30 |
| holstein | jamie_: *all* the software is in the main repos for ubuntu.. so, you can open the package manager of your choice, and search "ubuntustudio".. synaptic is a nice GUI one | 21:30 |
| holstein | but, i suggest *not* doing that, since, that can change the desktop, and UI.. and you dont need to do that to use the applications | 21:31 |
| holstein | if you are not planning on doing audio production, and using JACK audio, i argue, you dont need most (like 90%) of what ubuntustudio provides | 21:31 |
| jamie_ | holstein: I do | 21:31 |
| holstein | you would be more comfortable adding, for example, just audacity, etc | 21:31 |
| holstein | jamie_: sure, and even if you *are* interested in using JACK, you dont necessarily need to change your UI do do that | 21:32 |
| holstein | but, you are welcome to | 21:32 |
| holstein | i suggest, just try the live iso, and see what is there, and what you need | 21:32 |
| jamie_ | i know i like the ui quite a bit, it seems more flowing | 21:32 |
| holstein | jamie_: its xfce/xubuntu basically | 21:32 |
| jamie_ | yea... forgot i could have answered my own questions with virtual box | 21:32 |
| holstein | jamie_: thats a good idea, as well | 21:33 |
| holstein | just to see what is happening and what you want/need | 21:33 |
| jamie_ | i just needed to make sure i can put firefox web developer edition for work | 21:33 |
| holstein | jamie_: its ubuntu.. nothing about ubuntu will prevent that | 21:33 |
| jamie_ | that is what i was making sure.. i know that i have had problems with lubuntu in the past not having the right parts that i need, were removed to make it light weight and had to add the sources to the software manager | 21:35 |
| holstein | jamie_: sure, but with lubuntu, its the same.. the "parts" are all in the repos.. | 21:35 |
| holstein | jamie_: you dont need to add the "sources" though.. the sources are the main ubuntu sources | 21:35 |
| holstein | jamie_: if the tools you need are not in the repos, then, they will not be in main ubuntu.. | 21:36 |
| jamie_ | and just on a whim.... lol you kinda just really down played ubuntu studio.... thought it was kinda funny.... arnt people here supposed to promote it | 21:36 |
| holstein | jamie_: i use it all the time | 21:36 |
| holstein | jamie_: what i want to address is, its not "magic".. and, if you have a running setup, you have no need to "change" or "break" it to use the tools here | 21:36 |
| holstein | if you are using ubuntu 14.10, and like it, and just want to use audio production, you dont need to change OS"s | 21:37 |
| jamie_ | well thank you i need to go | 21:37 |
| holstein | if you want, you are welcome to, but its just not factually necessary.. and i think its a mis-step | 21:37 |
| holstein | it think, changing too much might be a way to cause an issue | 21:37 |
| holstein | uncessarily, as well | 21:37 |
| holstein | ubuntustudio is *great*, and free to try :) | 21:37 |
| holstein | but, you can add *all* of what we have in it to stock 14.10 or any of the other flavors | 21:38 |
| holstein | and, with no PPA's | 21:38 |
| holstein | the official sources contain *everything* that makes up the official flavors | 21:38 |
