zequenceThese namings make me learn more English05:55
zequenceThink I'm going to do a couple of apps for the phone this month, to see how that works06:00
zequenceWould be nice to get controls for jack to begin with. Also, some simple recording software.06:00
zequence..and I'd like to be able to run pd patches on it as well06:00
zequenceActually, might as well make -controls have an app version, which can set up rt privilege and control jack, and PA integration06:13
zequenceI'll start working on that next week, once I get inemployed again06:14
zequenceunemployed*06:14
zequenceI'm thinking of scopes too. We should add a Ubuntu Studio scope08:28
OvenWerkszequence: how is the latency? Are you dealing directly with alsa? It seems to me the docs I have read indicate that androids latency problems come not from HW so much as the extra layers between alsa and the application.14:26
zequenceOvenWerks: Seems to be PA. Haven't actually investigated14:26
zequenceI tried the simple piano app, with which you can play one note at the time14:27
zequenceThere is latency, no doubt14:27
zequenceBut it's not half a second. It's small, but very audible14:27
OvenWerkszequence: on android a simple piano is not playable because of latency14:27
OvenWerksI also put a "drum kit" on it and it was a waste of time for latency14:28
zequenceHaven't tried anything with jack yet. There's probably nothing I can run with it14:28
OvenWerkszequence: I think PA can be set to different latencys (buffer size)14:29
zequenceStill know all too little about the system, but I'm assuming you can have it run jack in realtime pretty easily14:29
zequenceHaven't actually tried PA latency on the desktop, so don't know how it compares14:29
OvenWerksfor most desktop use latency doesn't really matter14:30
OvenWerksphone use is the only one.14:30
* OvenWerks considers tracking/swsynth not to be desktop use.14:31
zequenceTime to head home. bb in a while14:31
OvenWerksok14:31
OvenWerksI just woke up :)14:31
zequenceOvenWerks: Good morning then :)16:55
zequenceThe browser is ok on the Ubuntu phone, and I can make calls and sms's. Also, there's a pretty ok Kodi app, which I just found.16:59
zequenceOther than that, it's just good looking16:59
zequenceAnd, the indicator menu is not very fun to navigate, all though it looks cool16:59
zequenceI need owncloud support. Hard to get on any platform so you can get all-in-one17:00
zequenceI'm still going to prefer it over almost any other kind of phone right now.17:01
OvenWerkszequence: my wife keeps threatening to give her old nex4 to me in which case I will be trying touch for sure.20:30
zequenceOvenWerks: I just had a go using the Ubuntu SDK. A lot of stuff I've never dealt with. 20:41
zequenceI think it was Nokia who developed QML, which is a javascript way of creating QT interfaces20:42
zequenceThen, you have a lot of other stuff to figure out too. And you can use C++, which I have never learned20:42
zequenceAlso, not sure 2 month old examples are going to work on the latest IDE20:43
zequence..and libraries20:43
zequenceThere are a lot of options for sure20:43
zequenceGoing to take some time to get into it, and also learn a bit of C++ while I do that20:44
zequenceWhen you plug in the phone with USB, what you see is the home folder. Very simple. Music, Pictures, Downloads, etc20:45
zequenceI like that.20:45
zequenceYeah, you might get a bit inspired too perhaps, if you get one in your hand :)20:50
OvenWerkszequence: c++ is slow going for me. I can at least write working c, though I often find debugging someone elses code tough. I don't do so well writing c++ though.20:59
micahgbug 1450992 was accepted to -proposed if anyone's interested in doing the verification21:29
ubottubug 1450992 in ardour3 (Ubuntu Utopic) "audio and MIDI files irreversibly deleted from disk" [Critical,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/145099221:29
OvenWerksmicahg: thankyou. Will take a look... after I figure out (again) how to enable proposed.21:37
micahgOvenWerks: there's a link in the bug to do that21:40
OvenWerksGood, what I was doing showed everything but ardour.21:40
micahgs/to do/on how to do/21:41
kubotumicahg meant: "OvenWerks: there's a link in the bug on how to do that"21:41
micahghi kubotu 21:41
kubotusalut, micahg21:41
OvenWerksMaybe it hasn't made it in there yet? (64bit)21:46
OvenWerksgot it21:48
OvenWerksinstalled21:50
micahgnormal usage stress testing would probably be sufficient, I've never used it, so can't really speak to what testing is appropriate21:51
micahgand that existing files open ok in the new version21:51
OvenWerksmicahg: That seems to be a problem... I have moved some sessions and they don't work anymore, but then they don't work in ardour 4 either. A new session works, records, plays back etc. and sessions that have not been moved work ok too.22:07
micahghrm22:14
micahgthat sounds like a big problem22:14
micahg3->4 can be understandable (would warrant a NEWS entry, but understandable), 3->3 seems problematic22:15
OvenWerksmicahg: At this point I really can't say when the last time I opened one of those sessions was. The saved file format for ardour 3 and 4 is supposed to be interchangable.22:17
OvenWerksAs I say, I may have mess them up when moving things around to clean things up give more disk space.22:18
OvenWerksMy project directory is now a link to another disk. This works fine for new projects.22:19
OvenWerks*** Error in `/usr/lib/ardour3/ardour-3.5.403~dfsg-3~ubuntu14': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00007fc9780015c0 *** doesn't sound real good22:22
OvenWerksThings created recently seem to work.22:23
OvenWerksThings created with A4 work.22:24
OvenWerksMIDI i/o works (for control surfaces anyway)22:28
OvenWerksmicahg: The stuff that is causing trouble was done in 12.04. And some that I have tried are originally a2 projects.22:34
OvenWerksAnything current works, and anything that works with binaries from the ardour site works with the new a3 too.22:35
micahgcan you downgrade and create one in utopic or trusty and then upgrade again?22:35
OvenWerksI am running trusty, I will try on an older partition.22:36
OvenWerksB in bit.22:36
micahgOvenWerks: I meant downgrade ardour :)22:39
OvenWerksmicahg: Thats ok. booted 12.04 (wow have things changed sinse then...)22:50
OvenWerkscreated an ardour session with ardour 2 and one with ardour 3.22:51
OvenWerksthe new ardour 3 is able to load and play both of them.22:51
micahgawesome22:53
OvenWerkstrying the downgrade ardour option too.]22:55
micahg12.04 doesn't have ardour322:57
OvenWerksMine does...22:57
micahghaha22:57
OvenWerks(binary dl from ardour.22:57
OvenWerksmicahg: all of the sessions that didn't work on the new a3 don't work with 308 either22:59
OvenWerksSo I would put that down to bad files/sessions.22:59
micahgok, that's good, can we please also check if our ardour3 files created in trusty work with the new upgrade?23:00
OvenWerksjust doing that now.23:00
micahggreat, thans23:00
micahgs/thans/thanks/23:00
kubotumicahg meant: "great, thanks"23:00
micahgsalut kubotu 23:00
kubotuyo micahg :)23:00
OvenWerksI guess I have to upgrade again now... to try it out in 40323:03
micahgright :)23:04
OvenWerkslooks good, plays back old project and was able to add another track and record. session saves and reloads too.23:07
micahgawesome, so that means 14.04 passes?23:07
OvenWerksmicahg: this is not a real complete test, but that would really take a long time23:07
OvenWerksI would pass it yes.23:07
micahgwell, I'll leave it to you and zequence how much testing you want to do for the SRU23:08
micahgI'm just here to push buttons :)23:08
OvenWerksJa, where do I go to call it verified?23:09
OvenWerksOn the bug report I guess23:09
micahgyeah, there should be instructions in the second link about SRU verification23:10
micahg14.10 will need to be checked as well23:10
OvenWerksbasically says add a comment to the bug.23:11
micahgand the comment mentions updating the tag from verification needed to verification-done, but I'd suggest adding something like verification-done-trusty23:12
OvenWerksright.23:12
OvenWerksI don't have 14.10 available to me. zequence may have a loaded copy already.23:21
OvenWerkszequence: I have tested ardour3 in proposed on trusty, do you have 14.10 installed somewhere?23:48
OvenWerkszequence: it needs a verify there.23:48
