[11:09] hi [11:48] Can someone direct me to a GUI audio file converting application please. I wan to convert wma to ogg/mp3. I have tried SoundConverter 2.0.4, but it does not convert all the files, and freezes on some. [15:22] Hey guys easy would it be to use kubuntu instead? [15:23] how* [15:51] Disar: very easy. [15:51] install kubuntu first [15:54] add ubuntustudio-menu, ubuntustudio-audio, ubuntustudio-graphics, ubuntustudio-photography, ubuntustudio-publishing, ubuntustudio-video, linux-lowlatency, ubuntustudio-controls [15:55] run ubuntustudio-controls to make sure RT access is setup right, reboot to lowlatency kernel. Done [15:56] Disar: I have tried this. [15:58] Hello [16:00] Can I've any assistance? [16:01] !ask [16:01] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [16:01] So, okay! [16:01] Thanks [16:01] This is the first time I've visited this IRC chat [16:02] Yeah, it has it's own sort of culture. Big in the linux/free software world. Lots of channels [16:02] ubuntustudio is super awesome [16:03] but are there any performance issues? [16:03] I'm new to it [16:03] I've previously installed ubuntu 64 bit. [16:03] my notebook lagged down during boot [16:04] and so i decided to try studio 32 bit. [16:04] when i first started up a few min.s ago, the UI wasn't that great but the features are awesome [16:05] 64bit should be faster, though it uses a bit more memory. So, you should use 64bit as long as your RAM is over 2GB [16:05] my ram is just 2gb and 1.75 gb usable [16:06] i know it's insufficient for heavy media processing [16:06] i am planning for a good ram [16:06] 64bit should still work fine. Just that you can't both have 20 tabs open on firefox and a bunch of orchestrals samples [16:06] but, my lappy lags. [16:07] by the way videos which played fine in windows [16:07] are now lagging in studio too [16:07] The arch version won't help you there though [16:08] i can't understand? [16:08] 64bit is not slower than 32bit. The other way around [16:08] 64bit uses a bit more RAM. That's all [16:08] Video playback depends on a few things [16:08] so, which is better for me? [16:09] 1) video driver. You may need a proprietary one to get better performance (depends on your graphic card) [16:09] ubuntu tries very hard to play youtube videos on 64 bit [16:09] 2) codecs - many are nonfree, and there may be bad support on Ubuntu. You could try installing a bunch by installing the package ubuntustudio-restricted-extras [16:10] thx zequence [16:10] can i have the ui of studio improved? [16:10] like that of ubuntu? [16:11] If you don't need to use it for multimedia production, than you may choose which ever official UBuntu flavor [16:11] They all have the same selection of packages available. They share repos [16:11] no.. [16:11] http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/flavours [16:11] i want studio for production, processing [16:12] i require it. [16:12] i just want a good ui [16:12] :) [16:12] You can do two things. Either install another DE onto Ubuntu Studio, or install UBuntu Studio packages onto another UBuntu flavor [16:13] can i convert studio to normal flavor? [16:13] Need to go. Later [16:19] thanks OvenWerks [16:20] yasuaki [16:29] I would highly recommend Krita as a painting tool btw
