rj_I am mowing from one ubuntu box to this one... is there an application on xfce that can transfer files quickly possibly via the ethernet connector ?08:26
sakrecoerrj_: my favourite is scp, but you can open the filemanager and type:08:46
sakrecoersftp://user@192.ip.of.remotebox08:46
sakrecoerand then drag and drop files08:47
sakrecoerof course, the remote machine needs to have ssh installed08:47

zequencesirriffsalot: Was able to record maybe 1/3 of it today. Hoping to finish by tomorrow.17:37
sirriffsalotzequence, cool :D:D18:02
sirriffsalotzequence, I guess I should wait to hear the whole thing18:02
sirriffsalotHave you rearranged it at all or just drummed on it as it was?18:03
zequencesirriffsalot: Think I just cut out one or two eigths where it really bugged me18:18
zequenceBut, otherwise, I'm just trying to follow the song18:18
sirriffsalotzequence, is it an enjoyable tune to work on? :)18:19
zequenceNot my cup of tea, really.18:19
sirriffsalotzequence, haha, really? Too bad :(18:20
sirriffsalotzequence, appreciate you doing drums then :O18:20
zequenceA promise is a promise18:20
zequenceI'm doing my best, but have little time to spare, so I will only do one more session18:21
sirriffsalotWell yeah, but kind of your to make that promise in the first place when it's a meh tune for you :D18:21
sirriffsalotzequence, is In Flames not that much your cup of tea?18:21
zequenceNo, but this is not anywhere near In Flames even18:22
zequenceNot sure what this style is called, but in my ears it's like the American College Punk version of Metal18:22
sirriffsalotzequence, my riffing is mostly from practicing in flames stuff, so it's quite similar to some inflamesey stuff actually ^^18:22
sirriffsalotNever heard american college punk haha :)18:23
zequenceI wouldn't make that claim myself18:23
zequenceAmerican College Punk is like punk, but made into pop18:23
sirriffsalotNot saying it's as good of course. Either way, appreciate the effort. Lemme know if you need anything in return, excited to hear it :)18:23
zequenceI hope it works for you. As said, I'm doing my best. Pretty sure there are a couple things you would have done differently18:24
zequenceWouldn't hurt to learn how to program drums and do it well. The riffing and the song structure would probably benefit from that18:24
sirriffsalotEh, it's an organic process :) I hate programming drums... takes so loong haha18:25
sirriffsalotzequence, I guess as it's not your cup of tea vocals are out of the question. My vocals on it sucks balls, my god. Perhaps it'll just remain an instrumental18:33
sirriffsalotzequence, as you have little time I could try mixing it? :)18:33
zequencesirriffsalot: I'm doing a mix of it, but I can give you links to all the audio files pre-mix too18:39
sirriffsalotzequence, great :D18:39
sirriffsalotzequence, is it thoroughly a hassle and a bore or is it somewhat interesting to work on someone else's riffs?18:40
zequenceThere's very little I enjoy to listen to, so in most cases I would say it is mostly not very interesting, but there's always something to experience18:40
zequenceThe important thing is what you think about it, since it's your music18:41
zequenceI'm using this as an opportunity to work out how I record the drums to another project, where I'm doing a lot of cutting18:42
sirriffsalotWin-win then18:42
zequenceI have the keyboard and mouse next to the drums, but the screen is far away, so it's a bit of work to get the details right18:42
sirriffsalotzequence, do you have a picture of your setup? Kinda curious to see it18:43
zequenceLet me see if I can upload a couple of pictures. I will be documenting this later online somehwere18:44
zequence..not this song, but the studio18:45
zequencesirriffsalot: What kind of music are you doing with the band, btw?18:45
zequenceIf you really like this kind of music, finding a good drummer may be some work, but it's either that, or learning how to program drums while first making the songs18:46
sirriffsalotzequence, cool :D Well if that's not your cup of tea then what I'm doing with the other band won't be either I'm guessing. If you've heard my more calm stuff on urort.no it's that kinda stuff18:47
sirriffsalotBut we're still trying different stuff, so not just my music18:47
sirriffsalotzequence, what's something you've never grown tired of? Wondering what your cup of tea is. Also what are you documenting it for?18:49
zequenceHere's a picture showing the drums and the guitar amp from the side https://cloud.mousike.me/index.php/s/ED2dcWvttF0qPlO18:50
sirriffsalotNeat! Space is tight though, damn18:51
sirriffsalotYour drums sound pretty good for such a tight room18:51
zequenceThis one shows a bit of the desk where I have the PC and a keyboard https://cloud.mousike.me/index.php/s/PoQOhg35MSWKrkJ18:52
zequenceWe also have a piano next to the guitar amp now18:52
zequenceObviously, it's impossible to rehers with a full band in that small space18:52
sirriffsalotIs this a rehearsal room then? Oh... who's we then?18:52
zequenceThe roof is high, and with the isolation I added the sound is not bad18:52
sirriffsalotNeat18:53
zequenceThe cloth on the wall is actually thick isolation wool18:53
zequenceWell, under the cloth18:53
zequenceThe corners are the most important18:53
sirriffsalotThat works, lot of people save empty egg-cartons and plaster it on the wall18:53
zequenceYeah, well, those don't do much for the bottom end18:53
zequencePretty useless actually18:54
zequenceYou need a lot more mass to stop the low frequencies, and they are the worst problem in small spaces18:54
sirriffsalotDepends on if you layer them, some layered it and it worked real well from what I heard, not ideal of course18:54
zequenceStill don't do much for the low end18:54
sirriffsalotHave you tried?18:54
sirriffsalotMade a huge difference when I heard it, once again not the best solution of course, egg cartons after all haha18:55
zequenceIt only stops the high frequencies. So, the low end is still a problem18:55
zequenceYes, you can hear a difference - but it still sounds like shit in the low end18:55
zequenceSo, as said, pretty useless18:56
zequenceFor larger spaces, you may not have the same kind of problem. Very large rooms don't suffer as much from low end.18:56
zequenceAnyway. Hope to be finished tomorrow. I'll give you the links then :)18:57
sirriffsalotMIght be why yeah, it wasn't a small room either18:57
sirriffsalotCan't wait!18:57
UbuntuNoobhey there19:33
UbuntuNoobHaving a bit of trouble with my new install of Ubuntu studio and wondering if anyone is available to help?19:34
UbuntuNoobForums and google searches have failed19:34
zequenceUbuntuNoob: What kind of problem=19:39
zequence?19:39
UbuntuNoobhey zequence19:39
UbuntuNoobthanks for helping19:39
UbuntuNoobMy USB RAT 7 mouse doesn't work correctly19:40
UbuntuNoobi can always see the pointer but when I try to click it doesn't always register, or stays focused on a field in the window i was previously working in19:40
UbuntuNoobEven on the LiveUSB when I was installing, the mouseclicks wouldn't register or would mess up the program and I had to install Ubuntu using the keyboard19:41
zequenceUbuntuNoob: A USB device that doesn't work right away means it needs some form of custom config or custom drivers in fact19:45
zequenceI found this by googling https://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/using-the-cyborg-r-a-t-7-with-ubuntu/19:45
UbuntuNoobso it's just a driver issue?19:45
UbuntuNoobI'm testing with no other USB devices attached except another mouse19:46
zequenceRegular devices all use the same drivers19:46
zequenceThe generic drivers19:46
zequenceI think this one does too, just that the interface needs a special config19:46
UbuntuNoobsure enough i think that's it, i really appreciate the article. I wasn't sure what the issue was19:47
zequenceUbuntuNoob: Could be it's enough to add the stuff mentioned for the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf19:47
UbuntuNoobcool. I'll try it out and update you19:47
zequenceOnce you tried that, log out and log in again19:47
zequenceX needs to be restarted, and I think that will do it19:47
zequenceIf that doesn't do it, then not sure the compiz config is the right way to go on Ubuntu Studio19:48
UbuntuNoobok good news.. the wireless microsoft mouse i plugged in works perfectly19:49
zequenceUbuntuNoob: This should work too https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mad_Catz_Mouse19:49
UbuntuNoobreading instructions on modifing the config19:49
UbuntuNoobthank you! does it matter that it's for arch?19:49
zequenceThe dir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ doesn't usually exist, so you need to create it19:49
zequenceIt's actually preferred to add configs there19:50
zequencexorg is the same on Ubuntu, so that bit will work the same way19:50
zequenceShould work19:50
UbuntuNoobzequence: well nothing worked20:33
UbuntuNoobthe microsoft mouse works perfectly20:33
UbuntuNoobI have a file in /etc/x11 called xorg.config and downloaded compiz config and setup the viewport switcher... same results20:34
zequenceUbuntuNoob: Did you remember to restart X after doing the config?20:36
zequenceTo ensure you really did that, reboot20:36
UbuntuNooboh **** ok20:36
zequenceNot sure the compiz config is what you need for Ubuntu Studio20:36
UbuntuNoobrebooting20:36
UbuntuNoobi can disable the viewport plugin20:37
UbuntuNoobubuntu studio runs like a charm on this computer though20:37
UbuntuNoobpentium d with 3gb ram and an 80gb drive20:37
UbuntuNoobi think that fixed it!20:38
zequenceNice20:38
UbuntuNoobyou're my absolute favorite person today20:38
zequence:)20:38
UbuntuNoobtwo days this has been plagueing me20:38
UbuntuNoobHeck yeah. this old dell runs like a new mac20:41
