[18:48] <vlt> Hello. How can I use the Salamander piano samples on Ubuntustudio? Is linuxsampler available on 14.10?
[18:49] <holstein> vlt: AFAIK, its not in the repos
[18:51] <holstein> vlt: should be able to find a PPA, or just build it according to the creators specs
[18:52] <holstein> http://wootangent.net/tag/linuxsampler/ is a friend that uses ubuntu and linux sampler
[18:52] <holstein> he's [lsd] in #opensourcemusicians
[18:53] <vlt> holstein: Thank you!
[18:54] <vlt> Wasn't there a decent studio distro also with linuxsampler? kxstudio maybe?
[18:55] <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..
[18:56] <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
[21:11] <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
[21:21] <holstein> jamie_: sure.. dont
[21:22] <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
[21:28] <jamie_> holstein: thanks. I know about the back up stuff... I work for mozilla
[21:29] <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
[21:30] <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
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <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 :)
[21:38] <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
