[03:07] InfoCentral: for me, nothing about audio production benifits from encryption.. so i dont encrypt [03:07] InfoCentral: if i need encryption, i either do it on another partition/install (dual boot), or i do it as needed.. [03:08] as for it "not booting".. i can guarantee, that on hardware that "supports linux", the ubuntustudio dvd "just works"... [03:09] 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] there, you can purchase a machine pre-loaded with ubuntu.. thus, just working out of the box.. no setup needed [03:10] 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] nothing about ubuntu or ubuntustuduio is preventing your hardware from loading the DVD, and i'd be glad to discuss some troubleshooting options.. === Guest93386 is now known as cfhowlett [06:15] 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? [06:16] InfoCentral: the DVD to run the program? [06:16] you mean, you got the installer to start? from DVD? [06:16] 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 [06:17] i would just choose the entire disk in the installer, and let it format and install [06:22] 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] I then shut down and took the DVD out and restarted with just the blank HD. [06:23] cool.. a blank hard drive shouldnt do anything [06:23] if the installer isnt seeing the drive, i would look in the bios, and make sure the system is configured properly [06:24] The system recognized it but said it didn't have any boot sector and asked for the system disk [06:24] 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] from there, you can remove any partitions on the drive.. if needed.. not sure what you have going on there [06:25] 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] sure.. just select the entire disk. and let the installer wipe it, and put what it needs on there [06:25] !install [06:25] 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 [06:26] 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! [06:27] in dont do anything like that, since, its not helpful for an audio production environment [06:28] What's not helpful? The LVM format? [06:29] right. lvm, encryption.. anything specialized like that.. i dont want it on my audio prodution box [06:29] dont need it [06:29] Good then I made the right choice [06:30] There is a little circle with dots rotating so I assume it doing its thing. Probably going to take several hours now? [06:31] 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 [06:32] Its a new HD so it has to completly format it and then install all the Studio programs and OS. [06:33] yup.. thats what i would expect to take 20 minutes or so.. [06:33] but, it'll take longer for all of ubuntustudio, for sure [06:33] Nice, on Windows it takes me the better part of a day to get all that done. [06:35] I am really looking forward to dumping Windows ASAP [06:35] well, there is no "windows studio" operating system, with all the tools and sources all in one place [06:35] sure.. check out #opensourcemusicians [06:35] 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] keep in mine, ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. so, you can use #ubuntu for things that are higher-level when this channel is dead [06:35] keep in mind* [06:36] True, but just formatting a new HD takes a good hr or more. [06:36] it can.. [06:36] doesnt typically take me that long.. but, what do i know.. [06:36] anyways.. good night, and good luck.. [06:37] I believe the last time I restored from a drive image it took just under 2 hrs and that was with a formatted drive. [06:38] Thanks for all your help. Good night. [12:28] blender question: do renders go faster with full graphics enabled? [12:29] i.e. nvidia card at full power [21:57] hi there, i have an issue with my graphics tablet in ubuntu studio. have i come to the right place? [21:57] maybe [21:57] kaa, :P [21:57] kaay* [21:57] i dont think XFCE is doing anything for touch, specifically, though [21:58] 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] oh, not a tablet PC, a drawing tablet [21:58] multi-touch* [21:59] http://www.huion-tablet.com/product/product.php?sku=1005 [21:59] thats th eone i use [22:00] i'm on a Asus x501u [22:00] laptop ;) [22:00] well, id say, heres your biggest issue http://www.huion-tablet.com/download/ [22:00] they dont support linux [22:01] are you finding some 3rd party drivers? or are you just trying to use whats in the kernel? [22:01] i have used it a while ago on the drivers in the kernel [22:01] but nothing i enabled, it was on by default [22:02] but i belive it's not enabled in ubuntuStudio [22:02] tcuc: asure.. but, those are a "guess" as best [22:02] tcuc: ubuntustuduio *is* ubuntu.. and uses the linux kernel [22:02] can you remember what supported the device? [22:03] i think it was Manjaro or antergos. (arch) [22:03] tcuc: i would confirm that.. that will save you a lot of time [22:03] tcuc: since, those are "newer" tpyically, maybe just fire up a 15.04 live iso, and see if the thing "just works" [22:04] if it doesn, you can then look and see what is supporting the device, and how.. and go from there [22:04] either forcing that into the kernel you are using, or, just running a newer kernel [22:05] k, i remember specifically grabbing a .deb from some guide to update my ubuntu install to use the tablet [22:05] i belive it was from a debian mirror [22:05] tcuc: cool.. that *could* add the support.. thats the 3rd party source i referenced earlier [22:05] tcuc: you'll just need to clear up your questions [22:05] Might need linux-firmware-nonfree or something similar [22:05] You can get that from the Ubuntu repo [22:06] yeah. i would look in the repo, first [22:06] ok, so synaptics search? [22:06] personally, i would just search google [22:06] You can just try installing it. [22:06] sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [22:06] i woudl search "linux the thing i have" and "ubuntu the thing i have" and see what others have done [22:07] installing linux-firmware-nonfree wont hurt anything ^^ you can just try that first.. [22:08] i found a thread about the wizardpen driver, but it seems to be dead. [22:08] tcuc: so, the firmware didnt work? [22:10] oh, so the non free is that thing i can enable in the software center? [22:11] Ubuntustudio does not control your hardware like that. The kernel does, and it's the same as on any flavor [22:11] Sorry, never mind [22:11] tcuc: If you like, you can just install it from a terminal with: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [22:12] I would try that first [22:12] ah thanks! :D [22:12] tcuc: try opening the terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree" and try the tablet.. [22:12] Then, see if your device is listed on this page https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers [22:12] it'll be immediate, basically, if it works [22:12] ok? wont i have to reboot? [22:13] tcuc: correct.. i say, you "shouldnt"... but, you can always try, then reboot and try.. then go on from there [22:13] mhm, oh, just finished installing! :D [22:16] ok, so no pressure sensing. ill reboot and se if that gets it working. [22:16] right after i find out where i can save this conversation so i wont forget xD [22:18] Be back after the reboot ;) [22:23] nope, not working. :P [22:27] zequence, i checked the github link you sendt, and that's perfect. my device is there :D [22:28] and it's what i remember finding a while ago, that support was added in 3.11
