| pikurasa | Hello Ubuntu Studio IRC!!! I have a question about an issue that I am having with Ubuntu Studio and Chromium. Any takers? | 14:48 |
| cub | pikurasa, ask your question and stick around for a while and someone might know | 14:49 |
| cub | I run Chromium right now so maybe I can help | 14:50 |
| pikurasa | Thank you! | 14:50 |
| pikurasa | The issue is that chromium seems to use 100% of my CPU when I use it to run this javascript-based software: http://rawgit.com/khandelwalYash/Music-Blocks/master/index.html | 14:51 |
| pikurasa | The reason I need to run this software is because I am working on the development of it (design-side) | 14:52 |
| pikurasa | I think that, generally, CPU use is high, but I generally have a "guilty until proven innocent" policy on JS... plus I usually use Firefox, so I do not know what its typical behavior is. | 14:53 |
| pikurasa | However, (reluctantly) I tried this on my wife's mac and it ran just fine. | 14:53 |
| cub | hmm I have an old laptop which run high on CPU as soon as a start a browser, so not much use in testing it on my pc | 14:53 |
| pikurasa | Plus, the developer who uses vanilla Ubuntu has no problems. | 14:53 |
| cub | that's strange. Shouldn't be an issue connected to xfce | 14:54 |
| pikurasa | The software plays sounds, so is it taking full use of the low latency kernel? | 14:54 |
| pikurasa | I should add that the developer has similar specs on his computer--and so does my wife on her mac. | 14:55 |
| cub | the kernel won't make any difference when only playing sound. It's more if you are to record something at the same time | 14:57 |
| cub | but you don't get the same issue when using Firefox? | 14:58 |
| pikurasa | All I have to do it open the browser to this page and the CPU use goes through the roof. Mozilla runs at about half this--and I would do my testing there, but... | 14:58 |
| pikurasa | for some reason there is a bug with firefox... | 14:58 |
| pikurasa | I even tried running the software from a local file | 14:59 |
| pikurasa | same results | 14:59 |
| pikurasa | What I would like to do, simply, is to test the software and then record desktop so that I can make some videos about how to use it. | 15:02 |
| pikurasa | But the CPU usage is ruining this plan. | 15:02 |
| cub | I got full CPU usage when trying on Chromium. So I tried Google Chrome as well, same thing. | 15:02 |
| pikurasa | *Creating an obstacle, I should say. | 15:02 |
| cub | I don't run xfce though so it's not related to vanilla vs other Ubuntu imho | 15:03 |
| pikurasa | But why would it run on my wife's mac, which is also dual-core?? ... | 15:04 |
| pikurasa | The developer at least has 4 core, which might explain a little better performance... | 15:04 |
| cub | Different OS, probably handle things differently. I'm more curious why it works fine on the developers plain Ubuntu | 15:04 |
| pikurasa | ...but otherwise same tech specs. | 15:05 |
| pikurasa | *similar, not same | 15:05 |
| pikurasa | Yeah, firefox won't work... (tried it again) | 15:05 |
| pikurasa | It has a bug where the sound will not stop playing after triggered in firefox (CPU is fine, however). | 15:06 |
| cub | which US version do you use and did you install Chromium from the repos? | 15:08 |
| cub | you could also try the #chromium-support channel. And hope they don't just send you back here. :D | 15:09 |
| pikurasa | Yes, I installed Chromium from repos. I wouldn't even know where to start with building it. As for US, I think 12.04--what is that command to check??? | 15:12 |
| pikurasa | 14.04 | 15:13 |
| cub | ok same as me | 15:13 |
| pikurasa | Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS | 15:13 |
| cub | keep this channel open and someone might have some ideas | 15:14 |
| pikurasa | Sure thing. Thanks for entertaining the question. | 15:15 |
| pikurasa | Also, if anyone has other ideas for workarounds, that would be appreciated. Again, all I really want right now is to 1) test it in a browser (functionally) and 2) record the desktop as I test it. | 15:17 |
| cub | well, at least we could verify the same behaviour in another US installation and both Chromium and Chrome. | 15:17 |
| pikurasa | (pikurasa is still looking for workarounds and speaking to MusicBlocks/MousMusic developer about FF issue) | 16:35 |
| pikurasa | Random question: Does VLC play video upside-down for others, too? | 16:35 |
| cub | pikurasa, not by default no. :D | 16:38 |
| pikurasa | I started using US a little over a year ago. I had no idea what I was doing and made a complete mess of the configurations trying to solve little issues. I spent the next year trying to fix the damage... | 16:39 |
| pikurasa | at least one learns something when trying to fix things. | 16:40 |
| pikurasa | like, now I know so much about boot and grub and efi | 16:40 |
| cub | breaking and fixing things is a good way to learn, but frustrating if it is your main workstation. | 16:42 |
| cub | Therefore I have one LTS installation where I just make things work, and some other installation where I try new stuff. | 16:42 |
| pikurasa | That is nice idea, but I feel like my workflow is: | 17:03 |
| pikurasa | 0. Try new stuff. | 17:03 |
| pikurasa | The end. | 17:03 |
| pikurasa | Hahaha... | 17:03 |
| cub | haha yeah but when you broken your main pc too many times you start looking for alternatives | 17:08 |
| pikurasa | You are right! And then your family says, "that doesn't seem to be working for you. Why don't you try [fill in proprietary solution HERE]? | 17:11 |
| pikurasa | Which is a situation that must be avoided. | 17:11 |
| cub | hehe right. | 17:12 |
| pikurasa | (So as a workaround, I am using VLC's rotate option in preferences) which is pretty bizarre... | 17:14 |
| cub | I mostly use mplayer and not VLC though | 17:15 |
| pikurasa | I was using video, but that seemed to stop working for no reason. | 17:16 |
| pikurasa | #libreworldproblems | 17:16 |
| pikurasa | I am going to leave for now and give me and my computer a break. Thank you! | 17:23 |

| enitiz | Hi | 20:54 |
| enitiz | I have ubuntu studio 14.04 and I want to upgrade it to 15.04 via command line | 20:56 |
| zequence | enitiz: sudo do-release-upgrade | 20:57 |
| enitiz | just that much? thanks | 20:57 |
| zequence | Its a script that should upgrade to the next stable release | 20:58 |
| zequence | If it doesn't work, try: sudo do-release-upgrade --help | 20:59 |
| zequence | (I think it accepts that option, I don't remember) | 20:59 |
| enitiz | Alright, I already launched the software updater application as I was asking the question. | 21:01 |
| zequence | enitiz: Let us now if there were any problems | 21:03 |
| enitiz | Sure. Thank you. | 21:03 |
