[08:26] <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 ?
[08:46] <sakrecoer> rj_: my favourite is scp, but you can open the filemanager and type:
[08:46] <sakrecoer> sftp://user@192.ip.of.remotebox
[08:47] <sakrecoer> and then drag and drop files
[08:47] <sakrecoer> of course, the remote machine needs to have ssh installed
[15:09] <dj1certain> hey guys im new to linux
[15:09] <dj1certain> i need some help
[15:10] <dj1certain> if i click software the loading symbol shows up but then there is no software window
[15:11] <dj1certain> but in task mangare i can see process gnome-software
[17:37] <zequence> sirriffsalot: Was able to record maybe 1/3 of it today. Hoping to finish by tomorrow.
[18:02] <sirriffsalot> zequence, cool :D:D
[18:02] <sirriffsalot> zequence, I guess I should wait to hear the whole thing
[18:03] <sirriffsalot> Have you rearranged it at all or just drummed on it as it was?
[18:18] <zequence> sirriffsalot: Think I just cut out one or two eigths where it really bugged me
[18:18] <zequence> But, otherwise, I'm just trying to follow the song
[18:19] <sirriffsalot> zequence, is it an enjoyable tune to work on? :)
[18:19] <zequence> Not my cup of tea, really.
[18:20] <sirriffsalot> zequence, haha, really? Too bad :(
[18:20] <sirriffsalot> zequence, appreciate you doing drums then :O
[18:20] <zequence> A promise is a promise
[18:21] <zequence> I'm doing my best, but have little time to spare, so I will only do one more session
[18:21] <sirriffsalot> Well yeah, but kind of your to make that promise in the first place when it's a meh tune for you :D
[18:21] <sirriffsalot> zequence, is In Flames not that much your cup of tea?
[18:22] <zequence> No, but this is not anywhere near In Flames even
[18:22] <zequence> Not sure what this style is called, but in my ears it's like the American College Punk version of Metal
[18:22] <sirriffsalot> zequence, my riffing is mostly from practicing in flames stuff, so it's quite similar to some inflamesey stuff actually ^^
[18:23] <sirriffsalot> Never heard american college punk haha :)
[18:23] <zequence> I wouldn't make that claim myself
[18:23] <zequence> American College Punk is like punk, but made into pop
[18:23] <sirriffsalot> Not saying it's as good of course. Either way, appreciate the effort. Lemme know if you need anything in return, excited to hear it :)
[18:24] <zequence> I hope it works for you. As said, I'm doing my best. Pretty sure there are a couple things you would have done differently
[18:24] <zequence> Wouldn't hurt to learn how to program drums and do it well. The riffing and the song structure would probably benefit from that
[18:25] <sirriffsalot> Eh, it's an organic process :) I hate programming drums... takes so loong haha
[18:33] <sirriffsalot> zequence, 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 instrumental
[18:33] <sirriffsalot> zequence, as you have little time I could try mixing it? :)
[18:39] <zequence> sirriffsalot: I'm doing a mix of it, but I can give you links to all the audio files pre-mix too
[18:39] <sirriffsalot> zequence, great :D
[18:40] <sirriffsalot> zequence, is it thoroughly a hassle and a bore or is it somewhat interesting to work on someone else's riffs?
[18:40] <zequence> There'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 experience
[18:41] <zequence> The important thing is what you think about it, since it's your music
[18:42] <zequence> I'm using this as an opportunity to work out how I record the drums to another project, where I'm doing a lot of cutting
[18:42] <sirriffsalot> Win-win then
[18:42] <zequence> I 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 right
[18:43] <sirriffsalot> zequence, do you have a picture of your setup? Kinda curious to see it
[18:44] <zequence> Let me see if I can upload a couple of pictures. I will be documenting this later online somehwere
[18:45] <zequence> ..not this song, but the studio
[18:45] <zequence> sirriffsalot: What kind of music are you doing with the band, btw?
[18:46] <zequence> If 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 songs
[18:47] <sirriffsalot> zequence, 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 stuff
[18:47] <sirriffsalot> But we're still trying different stuff, so not just my music
[18:49] <sirriffsalot> zequence, what's something you've never grown tired of? Wondering what your cup of tea is. Also what are you documenting it for?
[18:50] <zequence> Here's a picture showing the drums and the guitar amp from the side https://cloud.mousike.me/index.php/s/ED2dcWvttF0qPlO
[18:51] <sirriffsalot> Neat! Space is tight though, damn
[18:51] <sirriffsalot> Your drums sound pretty good for such a tight room
[18:52] <zequence> This one shows a bit of the desk where I have the PC and a keyboard https://cloud.mousike.me/index.php/s/PoQOhg35MSWKrkJ
[18:52] <zequence> We also have a piano next to the guitar amp now
[18:52] <zequence> Obviously, it's impossible to rehers with a full band in that small space
[18:52] <sirriffsalot> Is this a rehearsal room then? Oh... who's we then?
[18:52] <zequence> The roof is high, and with the isolation I added the sound is not bad
[18:53] <sirriffsalot> Neat
[18:53] <zequence> The cloth on the wall is actually thick isolation wool
[18:53] <zequence> Well, under the cloth
[18:53] <zequence> The corners are the most important
[18:53] <sirriffsalot> That works, lot of people save empty egg-cartons and plaster it on the wall
[18:53] <zequence> Yeah, well, those don't do much for the bottom end
[18:54] <zequence> Pretty useless actually
[18:54] <zequence> You need a lot more mass to stop the low frequencies, and they are the worst problem in small spaces
[18:54] <sirriffsalot> Depends on if you layer them, some layered it and it worked real well from what I heard, not ideal of course
[18:54] <zequence> Still don't do much for the low end
[18:54] <sirriffsalot> Have you tried?
[18:55] <sirriffsalot> Made a huge difference when I heard it, once again not the best solution of course, egg cartons after all haha
[18:55] <zequence> It only stops the high frequencies. So, the low end is still a problem
[18:55] <zequence> Yes, you can hear a difference - but it still sounds like shit in the low end
[18:56] <zequence> So, as said, pretty useless
[18:56] <zequence> For larger spaces, you may not have the same kind of problem. Very large rooms don't suffer as much from low end.
[18:57] <zequence> Anyway. Hope to be finished tomorrow. I'll give you the links then :)
[18:57] <sirriffsalot> MIght be why yeah, it wasn't a small room either
[18:57] <sirriffsalot> Can't wait!
[19:33] <UbuntuNoob> hey there
[19:34] <UbuntuNoob> Having a bit of trouble with my new install of Ubuntu studio and wondering if anyone is available to help?
[19:34] <UbuntuNoob> Forums and google searches have failed
[19:39] <zequence> UbuntuNoob: What kind of problem=
[19:39] <zequence> ?
[19:39] <UbuntuNoob> hey zequence
[19:39] <UbuntuNoob> thanks for helping
[19:40] <UbuntuNoob> My USB RAT 7 mouse doesn't work correctly
[19:40] <UbuntuNoob> i 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 in
[19:41] <UbuntuNoob> Even 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 keyboard
[19:45] <zequence> UbuntuNoob: A USB device that doesn't work right away means it needs some form of custom config or custom drivers in fact
[19:45] <zequence> I found this by googling https://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/using-the-cyborg-r-a-t-7-with-ubuntu/
[19:45] <UbuntuNoob> so it's just a driver issue?
[19:46] <UbuntuNoob> I'm testing with no other USB devices attached except another mouse
[19:46] <zequence> Regular devices all use the same drivers
[19:46] <zequence> The generic drivers
[19:46] <zequence> I think this one does too, just that the interface needs a special config
[19:47] <UbuntuNoob> sure enough i think that's it, i really appreciate the article. I wasn't sure what the issue was
[19:47] <zequence> UbuntuNoob: Could be it's enough to add the stuff mentioned for the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:47] <UbuntuNoob> cool. I'll try it out and update you
[19:47] <zequence> Once you tried that, log out and log in again
[19:47] <zequence> X needs to be restarted, and I think that will do it
[19:48] <zequence> If that doesn't do it, then not sure the compiz config is the right way to go on Ubuntu Studio
[19:49] <UbuntuNoob> ok good news.. the wireless microsoft mouse i plugged in works perfectly
[19:49] <zequence> UbuntuNoob: This should work too https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mad_Catz_Mouse
[19:49] <UbuntuNoob> reading instructions on modifing the config
[19:49] <UbuntuNoob> thank you! does it matter that it's for arch?
[19:49] <zequence> The dir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ doesn't usually exist, so you need to create it
[19:50] <zequence> It's actually preferred to add configs there
[19:50] <zequence> xorg is the same on Ubuntu, so that bit will work the same way
[19:50] <zequence> Should work
[20:33] <UbuntuNoob> zequence: well nothing worked
[20:33] <UbuntuNoob> the microsoft mouse works perfectly
[20:34] <UbuntuNoob> I have a file in /etc/x11 called xorg.config and downloaded compiz config and setup the viewport switcher... same results
[20:36] <zequence> UbuntuNoob: Did you remember to restart X after doing the config?
[20:36] <zequence> To ensure you really did that, reboot
[20:36] <UbuntuNoob> oh **** ok
[20:36] <zequence> Not sure the compiz config is what you need for Ubuntu Studio
[20:36] <UbuntuNoob> rebooting
[20:37] <UbuntuNoob> i can disable the viewport plugin
[20:37] <UbuntuNoob> ubuntu studio runs like a charm on this computer though
[20:37] <UbuntuNoob> pentium d with 3gb ram and an 80gb drive
[20:38] <UbuntuNoob> i think that fixed it!
[20:38] <zequence> Nice
[20:38] <UbuntuNoob> you're my absolute favorite person today
[20:38] <zequence> :)
[20:38] <UbuntuNoob> two days this has been plagueing me
[20:41] <UbuntuNoob> Heck yeah. this old dell runs like a new mac
