[03:43] <ferry> hi
[03:44] <holstein> o/
[03:47] <ferry> anyone can help me?  why my ubuntu studio sometimes have no sounds? need restart to make sound back?
[03:48] <holstein> ferry: so, you have sound? or you dont? or you only get it when you restart? sounds like jack is likely trying to be started, likely by clicking something, like ardour, in the menu, that starts it.. then, you have no sound til reboot due to misconfiguration
[03:54] <ferry> yes, i have sound...but when i operate some afflication i get no sound?
[03:55] <holstein> ferry: when you start *most* applications in ubuntustudio,they require jack, so, they start jack
[03:56] <holstein> ferry: when you have no sound, see that you are not using jack in the background, and kill it, or stop it
[03:56] <holstein> or, learn to configure jack.. or, if you are not using jack, then, i suggest just using xubuntu
[03:56] <holstein> you can add whatever you want from the ubuntustudio packages into desktop xubuntu, and not experience this "breakage", if this is the issue
[03:56] <ferry> howto kill jack?
[03:57] <holstein> ferry: you have to *first* see that jack is indeed running.. have you?
[03:57] <holstein> ferry: what would i do? in a terminal, "ps aux | grep jack".. then, i would see if its running, and know the pid to kill it
[03:59] <ferry> holstein : thnx ....let me try
[04:00] <ferry> ferry     7132  0.0  0.0   4688  2080 pts/0    S+   10:59   0:00 grep --color=auto jack
[04:00] <holstein> right, so, its not running, then,
[04:00] <holstein> and, you have sound, correct?
[04:00] <holstein> so, you'll have to wait til you have the issue
[04:02] <ferry> holstein :  God bless U...
[04:02] <holstein> try and notice what you do that makes the sound stop working
[04:05] <ferry> when the sound stop working the notice ferry     7242  2.0  2.2 110628 94460 ?        SLsl 11:04   0:00 /usr/bin/jackdbus auto
[04:05] <ferry> ferry     7263  4.0  2.9 185592 123988 ?       SLl  11:04   0:00 /usr/bin/qjackctl
[04:05] <ferry> ferry     7281  0.0  0.0   4688  2080 pts/0    S+   11:04   0:00 grep --color=auto jack
[04:05] <holstein> right
[04:05] <holstein> so, you are clicking something in the menu that starts jack
[04:05] <holstein> nothing is broken
[04:06] <ferry> yes
[04:06] <holstein> this is normal.. you have not configure jack
[04:06] <holstein> if you are not intending to use jack, i would just install xubuntu
[04:06] <holstein> xubuntu is xfce as well as ubuntustudio, but, its geared more for desktop use. you will not need to configure jack, and xubuntu doesnt have jack
[04:07] <holstein> if you want to use ubuntustudio's audio applications, you'll need to configure jack with your audio device.. this can be either quite simple, and "just work", or, can require some tweaking..
[04:07] <holstein> !proaudio
[04:07] <holstein> you'll want to get jack running, stable, *before* clicking on audio applications in the menu..
[04:08] <ferry> but i love ubuntu studio :-)
[04:08] <holstein> sure. but, why?
[04:08] <holstein> xfce? xubuntu has xfce..
[04:09] <holstein> ubuntustudio has jack. its integral. you'll want to learn to configure it, and have it running before using any of the audio applications..
[04:10] <ferry> yes
[04:11] <holstein> ubuntustudio basically takes xubuntu, and tweaks it, making it not quite as friendly for a normal desktop user, as well as, handy for audio production
[04:11] <holstein> if you are doing audio production, thats great! and ubuntustuduio is a great tool.. but, if you are not, you'll likely find xubuntu much more comfortable
[04:12] <holstein> otherwise, the link i gave should talk you through configuring jack
[04:12] <holstein> also, if its dead quiet in here, you can use #opensourcemusicians
[04:13] <ferry> holstein :  thnx
