[01:54] <linuxpt2> Hi, anyone around?
[01:56] <linuxpt2> It's been many years since I have used Ubuntu Studio, does it still have a real-time kernel?
[02:01] <krytarik> linuxpt2: It never had a real-time kernel, but does have a lowlatency one.
[02:03] <linuxpt2> Ah, thanks for clarifying.
[02:04] <linuxpt2> Is Ubuntu Studio still worthwhile for musicians and multimedia work eg video eiditing etc?
[02:04] <linuxpt2> I mean, compared to just using a normal distro eg Ubuntu standard or Mint etc
[02:05] <linuxpt2> I ask as it had been many years since I used Linux distros so my knowledge is very rusty
[02:06] <linuxpt2> and I have not kept up with distro progress for at elast 8 years
[02:15] <krytarik> linuxpt2: In short, I believe yes.  Apart from the various apps and backends, and said lowlatency kernel, it also ships a few default settings and controls to improve specifically working with audio.
[02:17] <linuxpt2> nice, thanks. I am primarily a musician but also will need to render and edit video
[02:17] <linuxpt2> i assume if i use ubuntu studio, everything i was able to do in linux mint, i can do in ubuntu studio?
[02:18] <linuxpt2> linux mint was the ubuntu variant with cinnamon
[02:26] <krytarik> linuxpt2: Linux Mint is an entirely different distro, but yes based on Ubuntu - so expect differences in the available software, of course - but generally, yes.
[02:28] <linuxpt2> i just had a quick look around and the health of studio doesnt look too good....
[02:28] <linuxpt2> is it fizzling out? on use AND on contributors?
[02:33] <krytarik> linuxpt2: The project could need a few more contributors, yes.
[02:34] <linuxpt2> are you a contributor?
[02:37] <krytarik> Yes.
[02:37] <linuxpt2> Well, thanks.
[02:37] <krytarik> Sure.
[02:38] <linuxpt2> What would happen if contribution stopped?
[02:38] <linuxpt2> would studio be 'sunset'?
[02:40] <linuxpt2> Also, what sort of help do you give and what kind of help is needed the most?
[02:44] <krytarik> linuxpt2: On the specifics, I'd advise you to talk to sakrecoer in #ubuntustudio-devel tomorrow (European time).  And yeah, that's the same as with *all* projects, of course.
[02:46] <linuxpt2> ok will do and thanks
[02:46] <linuxpt2> i may be able to help going forard
[02:47] <krytarik> That'd be great. :)
[02:47] <linuxpt2> yeah it seems like it - makes me sad to read studio is in need of contributors so much
[02:48] <linuxpt2> but i guess it is kinda specialised variant and users will be few... people who could help will be even fewer
[02:48] <linuxpt2> and i guess not many contribs would help studio if they dont even use it as users
[02:49] <krytarik> Well, I don't personally, and I still help. :P
[02:49] <linuxpt2> What made you pick Studio to help out on then?
[02:49] <linuxpt2> Over others i mean...
[02:53] <krytarik> I think it's I liked the people involved there, and I both saw the need for help, and myself in a position to provide it, too.
[02:55] <linuxpt2> Ah, good on you.
[02:57] <linuxpt2> I will try to speak with the person you mentioned in the dev room but if I dont, I will try to make a point doing it within the next weekish
[02:57] <krytarik> Sure, thanks!
[02:57] <linuxpt2> it would be good for me to at least ask and understand what are the most needed areas of help
[02:58] <linuxpt2> I would love to be able to offer coding help but currently my health isnt the best so I would be more harm than good developing
[02:58] <linuxpt2> but I certainly can manage other help
[03:06] <krytarik> In distro work, coding isn't really the most important or used skill - there are many other things that are way more prevalent.
[03:10] <linuxpt2> im going after this but to end what would you say are the main things?
[03:13] <krytarik> Not sure really - there is just so much stuff that seems equally important, except coding. :P
[03:23] <krytarik> linuxpt2: Nice talking to you.  I'll go to bed too then - good night! :)
[11:54] <linuxpt2> Hello all
[11:56] <linuxpt2> Are there any contribs around?
[11:56] <linuxpt2> Ignore me, just realised... wrong channel.

[15:37] <studio-user668> hello
[16:50] <studio-digi> Anyone know if we can use the Android SDK 2.2 on Ubuntu Studio?
[16:50] <studio-digi> If so what the terminal command would be to download the 32bit libraries.
[16:51] <studio-digi> This is what they reccomend from the site "sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 lib32bz2-1.0"
[16:51] <studio-digi> although this does not work.
[16:53] <studio-digi> once this runs it returns error code "Couldn't find any package by glob 'lib32bz2-1.0' & 'Couldn't find any package by regex 'lib32bz2-1.0'
[16:54] <studio-digi> Any ideas?
[17:01] <studio-digi> I would prefer to use my linux distro as i have this configured as my main boot. Any ideas, anyone there?
[17:05] <studio-digi> Well i guess no one is on at this time.
[21:41] <centoper> Hello, any one knows if US 16.10 is releasing updates to Ardour 5.0?
[21:42] <krytarik> !latest | centoper
[21:42] <ubottu> centoper: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.
[21:44] <centoper> krytarik, ubottu, Thanks!
