| holstein | InfoCentral: for me, nothing about audio production benifits from encryption.. so i dont encrypt | 03:07 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | InfoCentral: if i need encryption, i either do it on another partition/install (dual boot), or i do it as needed.. | 03:07 |
| holstein | as for it "not booting".. i can guarantee, that on hardware that "supports linux", the ubuntustudio dvd "just works"... | 03:08 |
| holstein | as for "getting what you pay for", if you would like to do what you have done, in the past, for windows, which is, purchase a machine that has been promised will run the operating system you want to run, try https://system76.com/ | 03:09 |
| holstein | there, you can purchase a machine pre-loaded with ubuntu.. thus, just working out of the box.. no setup needed | 03:09 |
| holstein | otherwise, it can be challenging, since, the creators of your hardware hired a team of professionals to work and provide you windows support.. you'll have to basically do a version of that to support linux | 03:10 |
| holstein | nothing about ubuntu or ubuntustuduio is preventing your hardware from loading the DVD, and i'd be glad to discuss some troubleshooting options.. | 03:10 |

| InfoCentral | I finally got the DVD to run the program but it won't install onto my HD. Apparently I need to create a boot sector first and it is asking me to insert the system disk. I can install and format Windows on it but that is not what I want to do. Since it is a brand new HD how do I go about formatting it for Ubuntu? | 06:15 |
| holstein | InfoCentral: the DVD to run the program? | 06:16 |
| holstein | you mean, you got the installer to start? from DVD? | 06:16 |
| holstein | InfoCentral: you shouldnt need to do anything special like that.. i just follow the promts and do a typical default install.. really depends on what you are doing | 06:16 |
| holstein | i would just choose the entire disk in the installer, and let it format and install | 06:17 |
| InfoCentral | Yep, the installer got all the way to the point of installing to the HD but couldn't because it didn't recognize it. | 06:22 |
| InfoCentral | I then shut down and took the DVD out and restarted with just the blank HD. | 06:22 |
| holstein | cool.. a blank hard drive shouldnt do anything | 06:23 |
| holstein | if the installer isnt seeing the drive, i would look in the bios, and make sure the system is configured properly | 06:23 |
| InfoCentral | The system recognized it but said it didn't have any boot sector and asked for the system disk | 06:24 |
| holstein | i might just use a live iso, runing the live desktop.. from the ubuntustuduio installer, for example, and just check to see if the drive mounts, and works properly | 06:24 |
| holstein | from there, you can remove any partitions on the drive.. if needed.. not sure what you have going on there | 06:24 |
| InfoCentral | I then loaded the DVD back in and told it to install UbuntuStudio. This time I got all the way to how do I want to format and install. | 06:25 |
| holstein | sure.. just select the entire disk. and let the installer wipe it, and put what it needs on there | 06:25 |
| holstein | !install | 06:25 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 06:25 |
| InfoCentral | I wasn't sure if I should pick the LVM or not so I just picked the erase everything and install option. I think it is doing it now! | 06:26 |
| holstein | in dont do anything like that, since, its not helpful for an audio production environment | 06:27 |
| InfoCentral | What's not helpful? The LVM format? | 06:28 |
| holstein | right. lvm, encryption.. anything specialized like that.. i dont want it on my audio prodution box | 06:29 |
| holstein | dont need it | 06:29 |
| InfoCentral | Good then I made the right choice | 06:29 |
| InfoCentral | There is a little circle with dots rotating so I assume it doing its thing. Probably going to take several hours now? | 06:30 |
| holstein | not sure.. it takes me about 15 minutes to install what i install.. not sure what you are doing and how you are doing it | 06:31 |
| InfoCentral | Its a new HD so it has to completly format it and then install all the Studio programs and OS. | 06:32 |
| holstein | yup.. thats what i would expect to take 20 minutes or so.. | 06:33 |
| holstein | but, it'll take longer for all of ubuntustudio, for sure | 06:33 |
| InfoCentral | Nice, on Windows it takes me the better part of a day to get all that done. | 06:33 |
| InfoCentral | I am really looking forward to dumping Windows ASAP | 06:35 |
| holstein | well, there is no "windows studio" operating system, with all the tools and sources all in one place | 06:35 |
| holstein | sure.. check out #opensourcemusicians | 06:35 |
| cfhowlett | InfoCentral, I installed ubuntustudio and ALL of the suggested alternatives ... took perhaps an hour. and that's on this damn slow China ISP! | 06:35 |
| holstein | keep in mine, ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. so, you can use #ubuntu for things that are higher-level when this channel is dead | 06:35 |
| holstein | keep in mind* | 06:35 |
| InfoCentral | True, but just formatting a new HD takes a good hr or more. | 06:36 |
| holstein | it can.. | 06:36 |
| holstein | doesnt typically take me that long.. but, what do i know.. | 06:36 |
| holstein | anyways.. good night, and good luck.. | 06:36 |
| InfoCentral | I believe the last time I restored from a drive image it took just under 2 hrs and that was with a formatted drive. | 06:37 |
| InfoCentral | Thanks for all your help. Good night. | 06:38 |
| cfhowlett | blender question: do renders go faster with full graphics enabled? | 12:28 |
| cfhowlett | i.e. nvidia card at full power | 12:29 |
| tcuc | hi there, i have an issue with my graphics tablet in ubuntu studio. have i come to the right place? | 21:57 |
| holstein | maybe | 21:57 |
| tcuc | kaa, :P | 21:57 |
| tcuc | kaay* | 21:57 |
| holstein | i dont think XFCE is doing anything for touch, specifically, though | 21:57 |
| holstein | i think, i would look at running a DE that supports touch, and use it.. otherwise, i think whatever you do will be "bolted on" and probably take a long time to get working | 21:58 |
| tcuc | oh, not a tablet PC, a drawing tablet | 21:58 |
| holstein | multi-touch* | 21:58 |
| tcuc | http://www.huion-tablet.com/product/product.php?sku=1005 | 21:59 |
| tcuc | thats th eone i use | 21:59 |
| tcuc | i'm on a Asus x501u | 22:00 |
| tcuc | laptop ;) | 22:00 |
| holstein | well, id say, heres your biggest issue http://www.huion-tablet.com/download/ | 22:00 |
| holstein | they dont support linux | 22:00 |
| holstein | are you finding some 3rd party drivers? or are you just trying to use whats in the kernel? | 22:01 |
| tcuc | i have used it a while ago on the drivers in the kernel | 22:01 |
| tcuc | but nothing i enabled, it was on by default | 22:01 |
| tcuc | but i belive it's not enabled in ubuntuStudio | 22:02 |
| holstein | tcuc: asure.. but, those are a "guess" as best | 22:02 |
| holstein | tcuc: ubuntustuduio *is* ubuntu.. and uses the linux kernel | 22:02 |
| holstein | can you remember what supported the device? | 22:02 |
| tcuc | i think it was Manjaro or antergos. (arch) | 22:03 |
| holstein | tcuc: i would confirm that.. that will save you a lot of time | 22:03 |
| holstein | tcuc: since, those are "newer" tpyically, maybe just fire up a 15.04 live iso, and see if the thing "just works" | 22:03 |
| holstein | if it doesn, you can then look and see what is supporting the device, and how.. and go from there | 22:04 |
| holstein | either forcing that into the kernel you are using, or, just running a newer kernel | 22:04 |
| tcuc | k, i remember specifically grabbing a .deb from some guide to update my ubuntu install to use the tablet | 22:05 |
| tcuc | i belive it was from a debian mirror | 22:05 |
| holstein | tcuc: cool.. that *could* add the support.. thats the 3rd party source i referenced earlier | 22:05 |
| holstein | tcuc: you'll just need to clear up your questions | 22:05 |
| zequence | Might need linux-firmware-nonfree or something similar | 22:05 |
| zequence | You can get that from the Ubuntu repo | 22:05 |
| holstein | yeah. i would look in the repo, first | 22:06 |
| tcuc | ok, so synaptics search? | 22:06 |
| holstein | personally, i would just search google | 22:06 |
| zequence | You can just try installing it. | 22:06 |
| zequence | sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree | 22:06 |
| holstein | i woudl search "linux the thing i have" and "ubuntu the thing i have" and see what others have done | 22:06 |
| holstein | installing linux-firmware-nonfree wont hurt anything ^^ you can just try that first.. | 22:07 |
| tcuc | i found a thread about the wizardpen driver, but it seems to be dead. | 22:08 |
| holstein | tcuc: so, the firmware didnt work? | 22:08 |
| tcuc | oh, so the non free is that thing i can enable in the software center? | 22:10 |
| zequence | Ubuntustudio does not control your hardware like that. The kernel does, and it's the same as on any flavor | 22:11 |
| zequence | Sorry, never mind | 22:11 |
| zequence | tcuc: If you like, you can just install it from a terminal with: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree | 22:11 |
| zequence | I would try that first | 22:12 |
| tcuc | ah thanks! :D | 22:12 |
| holstein | tcuc: try opening the terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree" and try the tablet.. | 22:12 |
| zequence | Then, see if your device is listed on this page https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers | 22:12 |
| holstein | it'll be immediate, basically, if it works | 22:12 |
| tcuc | ok? wont i have to reboot? | 22:12 |
| holstein | tcuc: correct.. i say, you "shouldnt"... but, you can always try, then reboot and try.. then go on from there | 22:13 |
| tcuc | mhm, oh, just finished installing! :D | 22:13 |
| tcuc | ok, so no pressure sensing. ill reboot and se if that gets it working. | 22:16 |
| tcuc | right after i find out where i can save this conversation so i wont forget xD | 22:16 |
| tcuc | Be back after the reboot ;) | 22:18 |
| tcuc | nope, not working. :P | 22:23 |
| tcuc | zequence, i checked the github link you sendt, and that's perfect. my device is there :D | 22:27 |
| tcuc | and it's what i remember finding a while ago, that support was added in 3.11 | 22:28 |
