[00:40] hey guys- im looking for a alternive for dropbox === loic is now known as loicc [14:48] Hello Ubuntu Studio IRC!!! I have a question about an issue that I am having with Ubuntu Studio and Chromium. Any takers? [14:49] pikurasa, ask your question and stick around for a while and someone might know [14:50] I run Chromium right now so maybe I can help [14:50] Thank you! [14:51] 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 [14:52] The reason I need to run this software is because I am working on the development of it (design-side) [14:53] 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] However, (reluctantly) I tried this on my wife's mac and it ran just fine. [14:53] 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] Plus, the developer who uses vanilla Ubuntu has no problems. [14:54] that's strange. Shouldn't be an issue connected to xfce [14:54] The software plays sounds, so is it taking full use of the low latency kernel? [14:55] I should add that the developer has similar specs on his computer--and so does my wife on her mac. [14:57] the kernel won't make any difference when only playing sound. It's more if you are to record something at the same time [14:58] but you don't get the same issue when using Firefox? [14:58] 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] for some reason there is a bug with firefox... [14:59] I even tried running the software from a local file [14:59] same results [15:02] 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] But the CPU usage is ruining this plan. [15:02] I got full CPU usage when trying on Chromium. So I tried Google Chrome as well, same thing. [15:02] *Creating an obstacle, I should say. [15:03] I don't run xfce though so it's not related to vanilla vs other Ubuntu imho [15:04] But why would it run on my wife's mac, which is also dual-core?? ... [15:04] The developer at least has 4 core, which might explain a little better performance... [15:04] Different OS, probably handle things differently. I'm more curious why it works fine on the developers plain Ubuntu [15:05] ...but otherwise same tech specs. [15:05] *similar, not same [15:05] Yeah, firefox won't work... (tried it again) [15:06] It has a bug where the sound will not stop playing after triggered in firefox (CPU is fine, however). [15:08] which US version do you use and did you install Chromium from the repos? [15:09] you could also try the #chromium-support channel. And hope they don't just send you back here. :D [15:12] 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??? [15:13] 14.04 [15:13] ok same as me [15:13] Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [15:14] keep this channel open and someone might have some ideas [15:15] Sure thing. Thanks for entertaining the question. [15:17] 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] well, at least we could verify the same behaviour in another US installation and both Chromium and Chrome. [16:35] (pikurasa is still looking for workarounds and speaking to MusicBlocks/MousMusic developer about FF issue) [16:35] Random question: Does VLC play video upside-down for others, too? [16:38] pikurasa, not by default no. :D [16:39] 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... [16:40] at least one learns something when trying to fix things. [16:40] like, now I know so much about boot and grub and efi [16:42] breaking and fixing things is a good way to learn, but frustrating if it is your main workstation. [16:42] Therefore I have one LTS installation where I just make things work, and some other installation where I try new stuff. [17:03] That is nice idea, but I feel like my workflow is: [17:03] 0. Try new stuff. [17:03] The end. [17:03] Hahaha... [17:08] haha yeah but when you broken your main pc too many times you start looking for alternatives [17:11] 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] Which is a situation that must be avoided. [17:12] hehe right. [17:14] (So as a workaround, I am using VLC's rotate option in preferences) which is pretty bizarre... [17:15] I mostly use mplayer and not VLC though [17:16] I was using video, but that seemed to stop working for no reason. [17:16] #libreworldproblems [17:23] I am going to leave for now and give me and my computer a break. Thank you! === wook is now known as Guest56163 [20:54] Hi [20:56] I have ubuntu studio 14.04 and I want to upgrade it to 15.04 via command line [20:57] enitiz: sudo do-release-upgrade [20:57] just that much? thanks [20:58] Its a script that should upgrade to the next stable release [20:59] If it doesn't work, try: sudo do-release-upgrade --help [20:59] (I think it accepts that option, I don't remember) [21:01] Alright, I already launched the software updater application as I was asking the question. [21:03] enitiz: Let us now if there were any problems [21:03] Sure. Thank you. === mkgs5 is now known as {qwerty} [21:34] The laptop freeze during the upgrade last time. I've restarted it and trying the process again. === wook is now known as Guest78564
