[01:32] <KrillBat> Hi
[01:32] <KrillBat> I'm using bitwig and am trying to access all of the plugins that come with ubuntu studio
[01:33] <KrillBat> But I cannot figure out which folder I'm supposed to tell bitwig to look in for them
[01:33] <KrillBat> Any suggestions?
[02:20] <OvenWerks> KrillBat: What kind of plugins are they?
[02:24] <OvenWerks> KrillBat: I found /usr/lib/lv2/ , /usr/lib/ladspa/ , /usr/local/lib/vst
[02:25] <OvenWerks> KrillBat: I would guess that the lxvst are in /usr/local/lib/ because I build them rather than installing a package.
[02:25] <OvenWerks> KrillBat: LV2s are the best plugins to use if the host supports them.
[02:26] <OvenWerks> I do not know what bitwig supports.
[02:27] <OvenWerks> I tried it when I had Studio 14.04, but I have not tried it since I installed 16.04 so I don't have it to try.
[02:27] <KrillBat> Hey OvenWerks
[02:28]  * OvenWerks helps develop Ardour so he is somewhat biased :)
[02:28] <OvenWerks> hello.
[02:28] <KrillBat> Ah I see lol
[02:28] <KrillBat> When I had 14.04 it actually happened automatically
[02:28] <KrillBat> I opened bitwig after I installed it and they were just there
[02:28] <KrillBat> But this time that wasn't the case
[02:29] <KrillBat> I guess it should be VST
[02:29] <OvenWerks> The settings/preferences should tell you where they are looking
[02:29] <KrillBat> or lxvst
[02:29] <OvenWerks> vst are the worst because there is no standard place to put them.
[02:30] <OvenWerks> I thought they used some lapspa as well.
[02:32] <OvenWerks> *ladspa
[02:35] <KrillBat> It says 'indexing /usr/lib/
[02:35] <KrillBat> That seems promising
[02:36] <KrillBat> oh nvm
[02:42] <OvenWerks> KrillBat: do you know the name of any of the plugins? you might try using catfish to search on that name from the /usr folder
[02:43] <OvenWerks> That was how I found the vst folder...
[15:54] <stochastix> Im installing ubuntustudio right now to help guide a friend who is new to Linux, but I was wondering, what is the most current version of Blender that I can instal, even if i have to enable another repo?
[15:57] <sakrecoer> stochastix: you don't need to add a repo, but you could of course... i personaly use the one dsitributed on http://blender.org
[15:58] <sakrecoer> chose the 32 or 64 bit accroding to the machine, un pack the folder in your home, and then double click the "blender" executable in there
[15:59] <sakrecoer> if you are installing 16.04, i believe the version bundled is 2.76b
[15:59] <sakrecoer> the current version is 2.77a if i'm not mistaken
[15:59] <sakrecoer> 2.77a runs fine on 16.04
[16:01] <sakrecoer> if you want to set 2.77a as default when opening a file from the filemanager, right click on a -blend file, and chose "Open with another application"
[16:01] <stochastix> hmm, Ill have to call him up, he said something like version 2.6 something, maybe he meant 2.7.6
[16:02] <sakrecoer> the unflod "Use a custom command" brose to the blender exectuable and select it, then check the box "Use as default for this kindof file"
[16:02] <sakrecoer> well.. if he is using 14.04 it might be 2.6 something...
[16:02] <stochastix> He didnt like the idea of it just being in a download folder, and wanted it to be "installed" sort of :)
[16:02] <sakrecoer> then it will require a ppa...
[16:02] <sakrecoer> i don't know which one to recomend...
[16:03] <sakrecoer> however, you don't need to run it from your download folder..
[16:03] <sakrecoer> i run it from my ~/
[16:03] <stochastix> I know, he could put it anywhere.
[16:03] <sakrecoer> yes :)
[16:03] <stochastix> I noticed blender comes with the libraries it needs in the tar file
[16:04] <sakrecoer> exactly
[16:04] <stochastix> does the binary need to stay in the directory above the libraries?
[16:04] <sakrecoer> the only con i have noticed of using the blender.org bundle, is that you have to manualy tell your system to open -blend file with it...
[16:05] <sakrecoer> you don't want to touch what is inside the bledner folder... the blender folder can be anywhere...
[16:05] <stochastix> sakrecoer: you probably could change the settings for filetypes and point it to your binary right?
[16:05] <sakrecoer> stochastix: although, i'm not sure i understand your question
[16:05] <sakrecoer> exactly
[16:05] <stochastix> sakrecoer: Im just saying, you want to leave the blender binary in the folder with the rest of the stuff.
[16:05] <stochastix> You wouldnt want to just throw it in /usr/bin :)
[16:05] <sakrecoer> yes, other wise it breaks
[16:06] <stochastix> right
[16:06] <sakrecoer> no..
[16:06] <sakrecoer> another con would be that... to redner something in background with cli, you need to invoke blender from its folder.
[16:07] <sakrecoer> unless you do some changes, that i don't know how to do lol
[16:07] <sakrecoer> (i'm sure there is an easy way)
[16:08] <sakrecoer> but if you are never render from the terminal, its not a problem (minor problem if you do render from terminal anyway)
[16:08] <sakrecoer> stochastix: i have to run... best of luck! :) come back anytime if you need more help, or stick arround maybe someone else with better skills will reach out :)
[16:08] <sakrecoer> o/
[16:09] <sakrecoer> (better skill than me that is)
[16:14] <stochastix> sakrecoer: Thanks, appreciate it. I have it installed now so ill poke around at it.
[18:07] <sirriffsalot> zequence, z, what's up!
[18:33] <zequence> sirriffsalot: Hi. So, you are in Sweden? Where? I live in Gothenburg.
[18:34] <sirriffsalot> zequence, Awesome :) Not too far away, in a place called Biskops Arnö, do you know it?
[18:37] <zequence> sirriffsalot: Yes, I know it. I know someone who studied there. What is it that you are studying there?
[18:38] <sirriffsalot> zequence, songwriting-course kinda. It's a year-long folkehøgskole, I'm guessing you know what that is in swedish :P
[18:38] <zequence> If you ever come by Gothenburg, let me know.
[18:38] <sirriffsalot> zequence, hell yeah I will! Also if you're ever near uppsala or stockholm, swing by here and visit :D This place is pretty neat
[18:39] <zequence> I don't know the education itself, but it seemed like a nice place to focus on something for a year.
[18:40] <sirriffsalot> Well, we'll see how they "teach the unteachable", the best a teacher can do in my mind is to reinforce certain fall-back techniques and ideas, but more importantly instill wonder and enthusiasm for whatever they're teaching
[18:40] <Thinkpadur> Göteborg?
[18:40] <Thinkpadur> come on.
[18:41] <sirriffsalot> What I'm really hoping to get out of this place is some good overall wholesome songwriting skill (as I have none), and perhaps some real good bandmembers
[18:41] <sirriffsalot> Working with swedes is so much fun..  love the language.. and they love norwegian for some odd reason
[18:42] <Thinkpadur> but Norwegians are in love only with the Muslims.
[18:42] <Thinkpadur> coz those are the only ones they accept open minded. :)
[18:43] <sirriffsalot> Thinkpadur, way to slip into the convo by potentially trodding on a lot of toes, haha
[18:45] <Thinkpadur> sirriffsalot: some time ago in the Danish universities (and not only) they were est. Hate-Norway-clubs ... for a reason.
[18:52] <sirriffsalot> zequence, anyway, this place is rad. Do come by if you're passing through
[18:52] <sirriffsalot> Their studio isn't that impressive though, but it's a start..
[19:19] <zequence> sirriffsalot: I'm sure it will be good for you. You have good drive, and that is the most important thing.
[19:58] <sakrecoer> sirriffsalot: that school looks idylic! I'm right on the other side of mÃ¤laren: sÃ¶dertÃ¤lje
[19:58] <sakrecoer> its even zombie-safe: on an island!?!
[20:03] <sirriffsalot> zequence, cheers :D
[20:03] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, on the other side of whatnow??
[20:04] <sirriffsalot> This is what I'm seeing: mälaren: södertälje
[20:04] <sirriffsalot> Half-island :D it's so rad!
[20:07] <sakrecoer> sirriffsalot: south of biskops there is a lake, south of that lake, there is this town: http://osm.org/go/0bAtg6?node=30097996
[20:10] <sakrecoer> about the same distance from stockholm, the oposit direction
[20:13] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, aha, quite a way from here though
[20:14] <sirriffsalot> Only got a bike as transportation so far :P
[20:15] <sakrecoer> sirriffsalot: tell me something in sweden that isn't far away? :D Probably MalmÃ¶ is the onl place close to everything :D
[20:16] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, hehe, I suppose
[20:16] <sirriffsalot> I might try biking all the way to Uppsala one day if the weather is nice
[20:17] <sakrecoer> sirriffsalot: good idea!
[20:17] <sirriffsalot> Tried my luck as a street musician in norway before coming here, did surprisingly well, so gonna try doing it in the nearest crowded town
[20:19] <sakrecoer> interesting!
[20:19] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, what do you play incidentally?
[20:19] <sakrecoer> i sing, and i play grooveboxes
[20:21] <sakrecoer> sirriffsalot: got quite a few battery operated boxes actualy... if you ever look for a streetjam partner in stockholm ;)
[20:21] <sirriffsalot> Neat!
[20:21] <sakrecoer> mpc500, tb-303, bolsa-bass and a few other ones...
[20:21] <sirriffsalot> I really do want to play in stockholm, shitloads of people no doubt
[20:22] <sakrecoer> yeah! i wonder how it would go tbh... probably well, at least if we would bring the waeather with us :P
[20:22] <sirriffsalot> https://www.facebook.com/Astrid.Tramp/videos/10153600318802251/ not sure if you can see it but someone filmed me in Norway right before I left here
[20:23] <sirriffsalot> Didn't get to warm up before playing that one :(
[20:25] <sirriffsalot> Meh, guess it doesn't work for you, oh well
[20:44] <Thinkpadur> http://sputniknews.com/photo/20160825/1044619469/norway-compulsary-military-service.html
[20:44] <sakrecoer> i... could do the effort to log in, haven't checked up on my 3 friends in a long time :D
[20:45] <sakrecoer> sirriffsalot: didn't do it... i logged in but it is still too exclusive :'(
[20:46] <sakrecoer> \o/ i have 4 friends!
[20:47] <sakrecoer> and there is a huge picture of mark zuckerberg on my homepage (o.o)
[20:47] <sakrecoer> the robot thinks i should follow him...
[20:47] <sakrecoer> i think it is the other way arround, that guy must be bored as hell
[20:49] <sakrecoer> he is in 400x300 px, the rest of the people there are 64x64 :D
[20:52] <sakrecoer> :'( i can look back in time 3 days... i need to add more friends to see more stories :'(
[20:54] <sakrecoer> sirriffsalot: do you have an archive.org account?
[20:56] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, hm
[20:56] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, lol, suckerberg..
[20:57] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, I don't have the video anyways, so it's no use :(
[20:57] <sakrecoer> and you are not allowed to download it?
[20:57] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, Not sure how to
[20:58] <sakrecoer> ok.. anyways i'd happily listen to something :)
[20:58] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, hang on
[20:59] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, meh it's a lot of fiddling with stuff, not that good a performance anyway imo lol. Surprised people threw money in for that one :D Unless I could friend you on buttbook, you might be able to see it, add Kåre Ylvisåker
[21:00] <sakrecoer> sirriffsalot: i hate to turn you down, but facebook can't afford me :D
[21:00] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, hey, if it weren't for people I didn't have to keep in touch with through no other means, I'd never touch it either..
[21:01] <sakrecoer> sirriffsalot: yea... o ised to eb quite active there tbh
[21:01] <sirriffsalot> sakrecoer, I'll let you know if I'm headed to stockholm one of these days

[21:01] <sirriffsalot> Gonna play some piano in the cafeteria, catch you guys later!
