| square | hello | 02:03 |
| square | is there anybody in there ? | 02:04 |
| square | just nod if you can hear me | 02:05 |
| * krytarik nods | 02:08 | |
| square | great thanks ! | 02:11 |
| square | I'm trying to start using studio to do some audio recording and having some issues ... can't get the microphone to work, I'm curious about the group's most applauded sound card for recording, setups and all that. Basically seeking any and all advice I can get. | 02:14 |
| delt | Hello | 06:37 |
| delt | how come carla doesn't find my VST plugins? :( | 06:37 |
| delt | they're in /usr/lib/vst, and that path is in the carla config | 06:37 |
| delt | oh, linux vst, .so files not w**dowz | 06:38 |
| rajkapur | hello . has anyone encountered bad/corrupt files writing to a USB drive on Ubuntu Studio 16.04? I am not talking about bootable installation drives , but just writing to an USB disk . | 13:20 |
| sakrecoer | rajkapur: not that i know of. is it happening to you on different USB-disks? | 13:29 |
| rajkapur | yes. i had 2 corrupt usb drives | 13:30 |
| rajkapur | made by different manufacturers | 13:30 |
| rajkapur | the copying bar status is very fast | 13:30 |
| rajkapur | and when i unmount it and put it on another machine the files that where copied are incomplete | 13:31 |
| rajkapur | and i cannot write on the usb drive,,,, although i have the user priviledges to do so | 13:32 |
| OvenWerks | rajkapur: I am not a file system expert for sure... things to look for: errors in syslog is first. what file system are you using? Are the drives USB2.0 or USB3.0? are the ports USB3 or USB2? | 13:35 |
| OvenWerks | The thing to remember is that UbuntuSTudio is on top of the Ubuntu framework. So if you try doing your copy from command line and it still fails. You may find more help on #ubuntu than here. | 13:36 |
| rajkapur | k. thx | 13:38 |
| OvenWerks | If it works from command line but not from file manager, this is a thunar bug (I think that is unlikely) | 13:38 |
| OvenWerks | otherwise it is likely a kernel bug. | 13:38 |
| rajkapur | i didn't even know how to serch for this problem :) | 13:39 |
| krytarik | Hah, I'd bet hardware over kernel though. | 13:40 |
| OvenWerks | krytarik: possibly. There have been USB3 problems with audio devices on some intel SW. | 13:41 |
| OvenWerks | But to the best of my knowlage that did not affect usb drives. | 13:41 |
| OvenWerks | It was a latency problem rather than throughput/lost data | 13:42 |
| OvenWerks | I am not seeing any bugs listed with USB drives corruption. | 13:46 |
| rajkapur | http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=16604 | 13:47 |
| rajkapur | "When copying files to any external USB device I find that the progress dialogue is inaccurate. In other words, when Thunar (or PCmanfm) says that copying is complete, it is actually still transferring data, which is verified by trying to unmount the device. Needless to say, unmounting the device before transfer is complete gives me incomplete or corrupted files." | 13:47 |
| sakrecoer | rajkapur: that post is from 2011, whatever it was, i'm sure it has been fixed by now | 13:50 |
| OvenWerks | rajkapur: That makes sense. | 13:50 |
| OvenWerks | sakrecoer: there would be no fix for that. | 13:50 |
| rajkapur | maybe it's fixed | 13:50 |
| rajkapur | now i kknow why I can copy files so fast | 13:51 |
| OvenWerks | From an applications POV the copy is finished when it has sent the last byte to the OS. The OS writes it to RAM buffer and then writes from there to disk as time and other processing allows. | 13:51 |
| sakrecoer | OvenWerks: no fix? :D what do you mean by that? | 13:52 |
| OvenWerks | Most OSs have done this in PCs since OS/2 in the 80s. | 13:52 |
| OvenWerks | sakrecoer: it is not really broken. | 13:53 |
| sakrecoer | OvenWerks: ok.. never happened to me | 13:53 |
| krytarik | rajkapur: Does it actually unmount then though? | 13:53 |
| OvenWerks | sakrecoer: we are not using DOS any more... | 13:53 |
| rajkapur | y . | 13:53 |
| rajkapur | it unmounts ...i will replicate teh problem now | 13:53 |
| sakrecoer | OvenWerks: why you invoking DOS? now i'm even more confused? :D | 13:53 |
| OvenWerks | If the unmounter allows unmounting before the copy has completed that is another problem. | 13:54 |
| rajkapur | wait .. i am copying to another usb | 13:55 |
| OvenWerks | sakrecoer: DOS only did one thing at a time, stopped doing anything else while it wrote to disk or printed. once we got beyond that... knowing when a copy was actually on disk is not known by the application. | 13:55 |
| sakrecoer | ok, not sure why you tell me this but, thanks OvenWerks | 13:58 |
| rajkapur | :) wtf now it worked | 13:58 |
| sakrecoer | \o/ | 14:00 |
| rajkapur | i previosly uncecked browse removabel media when inserted :)) | 14:00 |
| OvenWerks | rajkapur: I do that as soon as I install anything for audio too. | 14:00 |
| sakrecoer | rajkapur: but, did ckecking it back solve your problem? | 14:01 |
| rajkapur | no.. it was checked before... but i was kinda jocking | 14:01 |
| sakrecoer | :D | 14:02 |
| rajkapur | i got this 1tb usb drive and i hope it does not end up like my usb drives (one i managed to fix in widows 10) | 14:03 |
| rajkapur | i ll be checking the logs as you said earlier | 14:05 |
| rajkapur | thx guys..at least everything else is working | 14:06 |
