| ubuntu-studio | quick question should i use current or lts, with ubuntu studio? | 11:09 |
| erick_ | Hi, I have a quick question. I have been using Debian based OS for seven years now. However, I notice that for seven years my VLC would continue to be 2.1.6 Rincewind. | 17:10 |
| erick_ | I know I can add PPA, but why won't the more recent version of VLC be in "Ubuntu Software Center". I hope someone can help. | 17:11 |
| cfhowlett | !latest | erick_ | 17:12 |
| ubottu | erick_: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 17:12 |
| erick_ | You meant it is much more stable if I choose the one from Ubuntu? | 17:13 |
| cfhowlett | yes | 17:13 |
| cfhowlett | bleeding edges are bloody. | 17:14 |
| erick_ | I thought someone might forget. It was the same version for six years though. | 17:14 |
| erick_ | How do I make sure someone won't forget to do it? | 17:15 |

| Hazward | Hello! I'm really new to linux and I recently bought a keyboard with midi support but unfortunately in MIDI tab in the connect section of qjackctl, my keyboard doesn't show up, but in windows I just plug it and it works, is there something I can do? | 20:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Hazward: How does it plug in? | 20:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | USB? MIDI interface? | 20:44 |
| Hazward | usb | 20:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | [ lsusb ] please? ( !pastebin ) | 20:44 |
| Hazward | when I type lsusb and amidi -l here's the output: http://pastebin.com/ra3HFzjF | 20:49 |
| OvenWerks | Hazward: a2j_control ehw start should work. | 20:50 |
| * OvenWerks is assuming that your keyboard does show up in the "ALSA" tab. | 20:51 | |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yeah, check in ALSA. | 20:52 |
| Hazward | thanks a lot I works now! is it because my keyboard is considered a legacy midi device? | 20:54 |
| OvenWerks | Hazward: no, it is just that the jackd2 devs have not seen fit to include the a2j code in jack. | 20:59 |
| OvenWerks | (jackd1 does) | 21:00 |
| Hazward | ok so using jack1 instead of jack2 should fix this issue? | 21:00 |
| OvenWerks | Hazward: most people add the above line to their qjackctl config in the options tab for Execute script after startup | 21:01 |
| OvenWerks | jack1 on ubuntu will remove a pile of stuff and break other things. | 21:01 |
| Hazward | oh ok thanks thas pretty simple, I'm not using ubuntu, I just came here because I know the people here are really good with audio on linux | 21:02 |
| * OvenWerks waits for jackd3 to finally come out and replace both. | 21:03 | |
| OvenWerks | Hazward: no problem, any debian derived system may have similar issues. | 21:03 |
| Hazward | any linux distro you should say, I'm running Arch and I've been having major issues with MIDI devices and Ardour | 21:04 |
| Hazward | OvenWerks: last question, in Ardour, when I press on some keys I see the volume level move (up and down) but there's not sound, I'm using the calf plugins | 21:16 |
| OvenWerks | Hazward: are the meters moving? | 21:17 |
| Hazward | yes | 21:17 |
| OvenWerks | where is the output routed? | 21:17 |
| OvenWerks | Do you see meters on the master channel move too? | 21:18 |
| Hazward | yes | 21:18 |
| Hazward | MIDI -> Organ(Calf) -> Ardour Master -> System Playback | 21:19 |
| OvenWerks | at the bottom of the mixer strip there is a button just above the comment (cmt) button. WHat does it say? | 21:19 |
| OvenWerks | system playback is which card? | 21:20 |
| Hazward | In qjackctl it only say system so I guess it's pulseaudio | 21:20 |
| OvenWerks | Are you by chance using one card for input and another to listen? | 21:21 |
| OvenWerks | No it is not PA | 21:21 |
| OvenWerks | Jack will only connect to a real hw device. | 21:21 |
| Hazward | Nope i'm only using one card for output, the only input I have is the organ controlled by my keyboard | 21:22 |
| OvenWerks | not really sure where to go at this point ... make sure alsa mixer is not turned down/muted... but if desktop sound was working it should be fine. | 21:34 |
| OvenWerks | type cd /tmp && wget http://jackaudio.org/downloads/adevices.sh && bash ./adevices.sh | 21:35 |
| OvenWerks | into a terminal and use pastebin to put it in and give me the pastebin url | 21:36 |
| * OvenWerks is not sitting for long at his computer but doing othger things too. | 21:37 | |
| Hazward | the output: http://pastebin.com/nMq4R9as | 21:42 |
| OvenWerks | Jack was not running when you did that. | 21:43 |
| OvenWerks | Oh, ya it is but using the dummy backend :) | 21:44 |
| OvenWerks | You need to configure qjackctl right. | 21:44 |
| OvenWerks | Jack is not (right now) connected to any audio interface. | 21:45 |
| OvenWerks | so the sound is going to /dev/null or equiv. | 21:46 |
| Hazward | oh ok, I'll set it up corrently | 21:47 |
| reydempto | Hey there, is anyone here available to try to help me with a problem i have with Jack and pulseaudio? | 21:53 |
| zequence | reydempto: What kind of problem are you having? | 22:31 |
| reydempto | Whell mainly a problem with pulseaudio not letting go of my soundcard to allow jack to take control | 22:38 |
| reydempto | i just got some assistance in #jack | 22:38 |
| reydempto | trying it out right now, by installing cadence | 22:38 |
| reydempto | and woah zequence cadence sure didn't work | 22:39 |
| reydempto | here's the error log of my problem | 22:40 |
| reydempto | https://dpaste.de/WNHD | 22:40 |
| reydempto | I'm completely at a loss now, been 4 hours+ of troubleshooting this, just to make some hammond sounds for fun | 22:42 |
| reydempto | I am checking my country's equivalent of craigslist for cheap/free midi keyboards :P my recording studio consists of two reel to reel tape recorders and a drum machine and I was reluctant to bring any computers into the mix for exactly this reason hahaha | 22:44 |
| reydempto | so i am just gonna go for a crappy casio with a headphone jack or line out :) | 22:45 |
| zequence | reydempto: Are you running Ubuntu Studio? | 22:56 |
| zequence | pulseaudio normally lets go of the card in favor of jackd. There's some code in pulseaudio that makes that happen. Not sure though if that happens with jackd1. Checking now | 22:59 |
| zequence | But, it would help knowing which distro and release you are on in any case | 22:59 |
| zequence | A default Ubuntu Studio installation should not give you problems with pulse + jack, rather the opposite | 22:59 |
| reydempto | Nah, I am running xubuntu 14.04 LTS | 22:59 |
| zequence | Did you add yourself to audio group? | 23:00 |
| reydempto | I know I am in KINDA the wrong place, but i figured folks here and also in #jack would be generally knowledgable on the subject | 23:00 |
| zequence | reydempto: It's ok. You're in the right place here too | 23:01 |
| zequence | The problem is you're running jackd1 | 23:01 |
| reydempto | I am? | 23:01 |
| zequence | Yep | 23:01 |
| reydempto | i am in the audio group btw | 23:01 |
| zequence | Good | 23:01 |
| zequence | I'm pretty sure you are running jackd1. You can try installing jackd2 | 23:01 |
| reydempto | jackd2 is installed | 23:02 |
| reydempto | jackd2 | 23:02 |
| zequence | Really? | 23:02 |
| reydempto | well i installed it myself with apt-get | 23:02 |
| reydempto | oh | 23:03 |
| reydempto | i installed just 'jackÄ | 23:03 |
| reydempto | 'jack' | 23:03 |
| zequence | reydempto: What does this command return: dpkg -s jackd2 | grep Status | 23:04 |
| reydempto | hold up i uninstalled jack and am installing jackd2 now | 23:05 |
| reydempto | i stand corrected | 23:05 |
| zequence | Ok. Should solve your pulseaudio problems | 23:05 |
| reydempto | we shall see! | 23:05 |
| reydempto | it is installed. i will try firing it up now.. | 23:05 |
| reydempto | well, trying to start jack via qjackctl gave this error log https://dpaste.de/ymdL | 23:07 |
| zequence | reydempto: Try logging out and logging in again, or even a reboot, just to make sure nothing is running in the background making your life sour | 23:08 |
| reydempto | will do, brb! | 23:08 |
| reydempto | back, okay let's see what happens | 23:14 |
| reydempto | woah | 23:14 |
| reydempto | its active | 23:14 |
| reydempto | Fri Jan 8 00:14:17 2016: New client 'qjackctl' with PID 3561 | 23:14 |
| reydempto | :D :D :D | 23:14 |
| zequence | If you want to connect pulseaudio to jack, you'll need to install pulseaudio-module-jack. But, you might not want that if playing soft synths at low latencies | 23:15 |
| zequence | Also, get linux-lowlatency for any realtime processing - i.e. playing soft synths with a keyboard | 23:15 |
| zequence | linux-lowlatency is more or less exactly like linux-generic, but with a few configs done differently. A bit poorer throughput, maybe a bit harder on battery life, but a lot better for realtime audio stuff | 23:16 |
| reydempto | I'll probably just be lining this out to speakers and putting my cardoid mics right up to em | 23:18 |
| zequence | reydempto: Oh, and if you ever do get problems with pulseaudio again, for whatever reason, you can always disable it. Even if just while you are doing other stuff. | 23:18 |
| zequence | The file /etc/pulse/client.conf, uncomment and change the line | 23:18 |
| zequence | ; autospawn = yes | 23:18 |
| reydempto | AH | 23:18 |
| reydempto | thats is what made it keep restarting immediately after i killed it huh? | 23:19 |
| zequence | Once you changed that config, you can kill pulse, and it won't autostart | 23:19 |
| zequence | Yep | 23:19 |
| reydempto | oh man, that messed with me so hard today | 23:19 |
| reydempto | zequence thank you so much for the assist, very awesome | 23:19 |
| zequence | reydempto: np. Have fun! | 23:20 |
| reydempto | now to learn how to properly configure jack :P | 23:20 |
| reydempto | I am installing linux-lowlatency now for the heck of it | 23:21 |
| reydempto | Hey, back again :P Even though everything seems to be working fine, and I made a connection between bristol and the pulse bridge via qjackctl, i still get no sound output! However if I look at my pulseaudio settings, i can see the bridge's 'vu meters' jumping when i press a key in the synth. | 23:55 |
| reydempto | I tested other things like vlc and youtube and nothig ngives audio, even though both pulse and jack seem to be sharing the video card fine | 23:55 |
| reydempto | sound card * | 23:56 |
| reydempto | so close | 23:57 |
