| Glorfindel | Meeting at devel? | 00:53 |
| === irv_ is now known as irv | ||
| diydsp | hi! I just installed 16.04 Ubuntu Studio last night. I was on 14.04 Ubuntu before that. | 13:49 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: how's the first impression? | 13:50 |
| diydsp | I was delighted to see a video editor in the startup menu! I never got one working bug-free under Linux before. Didn't edit anything yet, but I'm itching to. | 13:52 |
| diydsp | Firefox doesn't looks as good as usual. Would that be due to the window manager? And I was happy to see gimp and blender pre-installed. | 13:52 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: regarding firefox, i guess it is due to the theme of the window manager, you can chose others in Settings-manager=>appearance | 13:54 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: for video i recomend trying kdenlive. as for bug-free video editors in linux, there are quite a few, blender is a prominent example :) | 13:55 |
| diydsp | Thanks! I'll go into manager->appearance | 13:56 |
| diydsp | Ah! Just started teaching myself blender for CAD. | 13:56 |
| diydsp | Also, is there a separate donation place for UbuntuStudio? I wouldn't mind supporting this effort. | 13:57 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: in the top-bar of blender, you have button where it says "default" if you open the pulldown menu there, you will find one entry taht says: "Video editing". click it an love it :D | 13:57 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: no, we do it for the love of art :) but you could consider donating to the software you enjoy the most :) if blender is your new crush, i know they make very nice t-shirts :) | 13:58 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: what you could do for us is to be very vocal about the fact you are using ubuntu studio :) | 13:58 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: or get involved in development :) we need all kinds of skills, not only coding so to speak | 13:59 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: http://ubuntustudio.org/contribute/ and https://store.blender.org/ | 14:00 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: we do have swag aswell, but it is not for profit :) http://ubuntustudio.org/merchandise/ | 14:01 |
| diydsp | Ah, thanks! I can start by helping spread the word with a shirt :) | 14:03 |
| diydsp | Is this a bug/feature queue I could take a look at and see how I could help? I found the JoinTheTeam page and the mailing list...but rather than skim the mailing list archives right away, maybe I could see what kinds of things I could help with. | 14:03 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: i guess you could dig into this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio | 14:05 |
| sakrecoer | :) | 14:06 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: but, most of the bugs get reported directly to softwares project page... | 14:06 |
| diydsp | Ah yes, here we go. Thank you. That gives me an idea how I could help. It seems there are lots of packaging requests. I don't know how to do that but maybe if I read some of this "Done" ones I'll learn. | 14:09 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: if it gets packaged in debian, we end up having it, so it realy is there things should be packaged. that way, not only us benefit from it :) | 14:11 |
| diydsp | Oh! Another thing I really liked was the mouse settings. In 14.04 there was no GUI control to adjust mouse acceleration and I disliked the default mouse speed :( I had a process I would go through manually, listing items partially with a script, but most of the time it was too hard. So I was glad to see Studio has the mouse controls. I guess that comes from Ubuntu 16.04? | 14:11 |
| sakrecoer | i think those controls are from xubuntu :) we base everything desktop on xubuntu :) | 14:12 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/DeveloperTutorials/SimpleBugFixExample here is a little tutorial, you can find more info about developement in that wiki using the sidebar :) | 14:13 |
| diydsp | And just out of curiousity, why xfce? Is it higher performance? | 14:13 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: yes, its lightweight but still elegant enough :) however, it is possible to install a plethora of other DE :) | 14:14 |
| diydsp | ah yes, I notice this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/739628 The report is from 2011, but I think I noticed the same thing last night. I was kind of addicted to the Ubuntu 14.04 message that gave the ethernet status. | 14:16 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 739628 in Ubuntu Studio "STUDIO could do with an Ethernet OK ICON and the System should check "Ethernet OK", more often." [Undecided,New] | 14:16 |
| diydsp | But I'm not sure I should go as far as switching to Gnome to get ethernet status | 14:17 |
| sakrecoer | hmm... i never had that bug tbh.. | 14:17 |
| sakrecoer | if i unplug ethernet cable, it updates the icon in systray instantly... | 14:17 |
| sakrecoer | but the nm has been acting a bit weird lately, it tends to display the ethernet icon when wifi is on... | 14:18 |
| diydsp | OK, I'll take a closer look at it tonight when I'm on the machine again! I wish I didn't have to be at work all day, HA! ;) | 14:19 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1589401 | 14:19 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1589401 in NetworkManager "cannot view wifi networks after re-enabling wifi" [Medium,Confirmed] | 14:19 |
| diydsp | BTW, what files make Xubuntu into Ubuntu Studio? Is there a list of changes in one or more locations? | 14:28 |
| diydsp | And I was also wondering about CAD. I use a realtime kernel on two other computers for controlling a laser cutter and a CNC router. But there were pre-installed for me and I don't know how to re-create that myself. I would rather use a distro with RT kernel, like US. Is there much talk about CAD applications running under US? And if not are you interested in heading in that direction? | 14:33 |
| sakrecoer | we use the Lowlatency kernerl in fact... for both those questions, i'm not the best stuited to answer you, diydsp ... | 14:50 |
| sakrecoer | ..soory | 14:50 |
| sakrecoer | there is not enough talk about CAD tbh, that is something you could contribute with :) | 14:51 |
| === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat | ||
| diydsp | Awesome, sakrecoer. Thank you so much for the nice introduction! I saw the "workflows" section so potentially in the future, there could be a CAD one. Honestly, I'm only an amateur in CAD, but I keep notes. I love wikis!!! | 15:13 |
| diydsp | This is my wiki so far for UbuntuStudio: http://www.diydsp.com/index.php?title=Home_Network | 15:16 |
| diydsp | And this is my artwork (instrument building) if you're curious :) http://dsp.guitars | 15:16 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: wow!!! i love your bass sticks!!! | 15:17 |
| diydsp | Aw shucks, thanks :) | 15:20 |
| sakrecoer | this is so cool, diydsp : http://dsp.guitars/mp3/sn6.mp3 | 15:23 |
| sakrecoer | it could have little more ... umpf in the bass, you know... more "infra" or whatever its called... but the principle is crazy nice!!!! | 15:23 |
| sakrecoer | maybe it you use the DS-7 circuitry? :p | 15:24 |
| sakrecoer | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU3d4Mr_LC8 | 15:24 |
| sakrecoer | diydsp: http://m.bareille.free.fr/ds7clone/ds7.htm | 15:26 |
| sakrecoer | anyways, have to run! nice to meet you diydsp ! looking forward to read you again! | 15:27 |
| sakrecoer | before i go, let me ping OvenWerk1: you have to check this bass stick thing out ^ | 15:31 |
