=== sakura is now known as Guest80631 [06:29] Hi all anyone here atm [06:29] HiDeHo, you could have asked your real question and not wasted time ... [06:30] yes i can lol [06:30] i have installed audour in my os but its not working and i get this error [06:30] [ERROR]: JACK: Cannot lock down 82274202 byte memory area (Cannot allocate memory) [06:30] [ERROR]: JACK: Cannot use real-time scheduling (RR/5)(1: Operation not permitted) [06:30] [ERROR]: JACK: JackClient::AcquireSelfRealTime error [06:30] cfhowlett: there you go lol [06:31] my suspicion is jackd is not installed properly and set up [06:33] cfhowlett: guess you cant help [07:05] HiDeHo: I may not be able to help. But what is your OS? Which version? [07:06] Rosco2: ok i have linux mint 17 which is ubuntu 14.04 lts [07:06] its built on that version of ubuntu [07:06] !mint | HiDeHo, [07:06] HiDeHo,: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [07:07] cfhowlett: lol your funny [07:07] Rosco2: if you think you can help please pm me [07:07] HiDeHo, please ask mint for support of your OS. it is NOT supported here. [07:08] One of the benefits of using Ubuntu Studio is that there is a sensible set of defaults for audio work [07:09] I am just learning how to work with JACK myself so I wouldn't be much use [07:12] yes i had US set up on another laptop after i had installed and set everything the computer stopped working arg [07:18] #opensourcemusicians [07:18] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/JACK_Audio_Connection_Kit === davidS is now known as hockhamD [14:56] UbuntuStudio Rocks!! That's all i have to say. [15:01] studio-user027: :) === sakura is now known as Guest3195 [19:06] Hi! I'm having problems with multiple monitors. Seems that Ubuntu Studio can show an animation in my second monitor when it shuts down, but the rest of the time it is blank. [19:06] Can anyone help? [19:07] Please? :) [19:08] studio-user742: have you checked the settings in display in "settings manager" [19:09] Yes, but with no result. [19:09] studio-user742: you see 2 screens in there with their respective names? [19:09] yes, number 1 and number 2 [19:10] studio-user742: when you click on the one that is blank, is the box "Use This Display" checked? [19:10] Each with its resolution (they are different) [19:10] Yes, it is checked [19:10] studio-user742: do you have nvidia drivers installed? [19:11] The one that is not working is an intel chipset, it is the moderboard graphics [19:11] How can I check if I have the nvidia drivers installed? [19:12] studio-user742: the one that is working, is it plugged to your graphics card? [19:12] Yes, in fact it shows an ubuntu studio animation when I shut down the system [19:13] but the rest of the time it remains blank [19:13] studio-user742: is your graphics card an nvidia? [19:14] the main one, yes [19:14] studio-user742: in settings-manager there is an entry called "additional drivers" [19:15] open it and tell me what you see [19:16] NVIDIA Corporation: GF108 [GeForce 730] [19:16] Using X.Org X server -- Noveau display driver form xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (open source) [19:17] Also [19:17] Unknown: Unknown [19:17] "This device is using an alternative driver." [19:17] "Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode (proprietary) [19:18] That is what I see [19:19] There are other two options form the NVIDIA driver: version 361.42 and version 340.96, both proprietary [19:19] ok, i think we found it then studio-user742 :) can you tick the box that says "Nvidia bunary driver - version 361.42"? if you do, it will ask for your password and then you will need to reboot [19:19] studio-user742: wait... [19:19] is your nvidia card fairly recent? [19:19] i bought it last month [19:19] you may want to google which version suits you best first [19:19] then it is probably 361.42 [19:20] that is the one i use... [19:20] ok, I'll try that one [19:20] thanks so much, sakrecoer :) [19:20] after that, you are going to have to open the Nvidia X server settings to setup your screens [19:20] i personaly have my both screens plugged into the graphics card... [19:21] np, but lets celebrate once we know it works ;) [19:21] ah, I plugged one to the nvidia card and the other to the motherboard [19:21] ok :D [19:21] how can I open the nvidia x server settings? [19:22] Are they in the settings manager? [19:26] studio-user742: you will find it in the menu [19:26] the nvidia x server settings [19:27] ok [19:28] but of course, you need to press "apply" first, let it do the job then reboot... [19:28] "Apply Changes" in the Additional Drivers thing, that is.. [19:28] Ok. I've applied the changes. I'm going to reboot. [19:28] crossing fingers for you! :) [19:28] thanks! :) [19:32] Hi, sakrecoer [19:33] studio-user742: hi! did it work? [19:33] Things got better, now my second display shows an underscore on the upper left corner [19:33] :D [19:33] can you find the ncidia settings? [19:33] Yes, but I don't know how to set it up [19:34] you see the left-hand field? there is one entry called "Xserver Display Configuration" [19:34] Yes [19:34] do you see your both screens in there? [19:35] No, only one [19:35] that is probably because your other screen is connected to your motherboard [19:35] Yes, I guess so [19:35] let it be like that for now.. [19:36] ok :) [19:36] is verything set as it should for the screen connected to your motherboard? [19:37] configuration is not set to "disabled", Resolution is ok, refreshrate is ok.. etc.. [19:38] mmm... I can see in settings manager - displey that i cannot see the other monitor either [19:39] are you looking in the Nvidia settings now studio-user742 ? [19:39] under "X Server Display Configuration" [19:39] No, in Settings Manager > Display [19:39] below the layout window, what is set in "Configuration:" [19:39] go to nvidia settings [19:39] I could see both monitors before the changes [19:40] do you have the possiblity to plug both screen in your graphics card? [19:40] No, I'm afraid not :( [19:40] it should be possible anyway.. [19:40] but please, now lets focus on the nvidia settings [19:41] Ok [19:41] under "X Server Display Configuration", below the layout window, what is set in "Configuration:" [19:42] ? [19:42] X screen 0 [19:42] and the resolution is ok? [19:43] It's "Auto" [19:43] try to set it to what ever resolution your screen is and then plress "apply" [19:44] Done [19:44] no change? [19:44] No, no change. [19:44] in that case, open up a terminal [19:45] and type this: "sudo apt install nvidia-modprobe" (without the quotes) [19:45] Done [19:46] now reboot and cross fingers :) [19:46] ok :D [19:46] let's hope the installation was done.... :| [19:48] Hi sakrecoer [19:48] Still no luck [19:49] When I start Ubuntu i get a system problem [19:49] I got it the previous reboot [19:49] as well [19:50] studio-user742: but you did let the installation of nvidia-modprobe finish before reboot right? [19:50] Yes, it was quick [19:50] phew... :p [19:50] hmm... [19:50] I waited until it showed the system prompt [19:50] just a second... [19:51] ok [19:51] studio-user742: what version of ubuntu-studio are you running? [19:51] How can I see it? [19:52] I downloaded it last month, but I don't remember [19:52] open a terminal and type: lsb_release -a [19:52] Release: 16.04 [19:54] ok... you could try this:... [19:56] hmm... sorry... i thought i had it, but... [19:56] was looking at this:http://askubuntu.com/questions/600834/nvidia-graphics-card-issues [19:58] looks like it is not going to be easy if you don't plug both screens in the graphic card... [19:58] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2309831&p=13423833#post13423833 [20:00] but... the screen that is blank is connected to your motherboard, or your graphics card? studio-user742 ? [20:08] The blank one is connected to my motherboard [20:09] i can't find an easy sollution for your setup (not both plugged into graphics card) [20:10] is the screen plugged in your motherboard having a VGA cable? [20:10] Yes [20:10] is there any DVI plug in your nvidia card? [20:10] yes, there is [20:12] studio-user742: you could probably solve it like this: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001485.htm [20:12] that is how i do... [20:14] Both my monitors are using VGA plug [20:15] But my main one can be connected with a DVI [20:15] maybe I won't need any conversion [20:15] I'll have to get a DVI wire [20:16] yeah, i'm affraid it will be much easier than trying to set up what seems to be called "Multi-head with X server" [20:17] i cannot guide you on that path at least... [20:17] you could try ask in #ubuntu or on the forum maybe? [20:18] sorry it didn't work out studio-user742 .. [20:18] No problem. Sure. Thanks for all your help, sakrecoer. :-) [20:19] No problem! studio-user742 [20:23] hmm... multi-head is the same as multi-display... however, setting it up to work whenscreens are plugged into different gpu's seems too hard for me.. [20:23] gone.. oh well.. [20:57] ciao [20:57] !list [20:57] smilly: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic.
