studio-devel391hi10:31
studio-devel391in any one here?10:31
cfhowlettdon't waste time asking that, just ask your support question.10:32
studio-devel391ok10:33
studio-devel391I am a windows 10 user but tired of it's problems. so I want to use linux .I have 2 computers .An Asus laptop which is core i7 . 4gb RAM and 1gb graphic and a PC which has core 2 quad cpu. Gigabyte mother board,  2gb of ram and 1 gb Nvidia graphic card 10:34
studio-devel391I am photographer and I need to professionally edit softwares like photoshop 10:35
studio-devel391and Web confrencing10:35
studio-devel391and movie making10:35
studio-devel391I am confused choosing Ubuntu studio or Fedora.. 10:35
studio-devel391Thanks10:36
cfhowlettfair question!10:36
studio-devel391Thank you10:36
studio-devel391What is The Answer.. 10:37
studio-devel391Let me add10:37
cfhowlettThe Fedora Design Spin is my second choice should Ubuntu Studio cease operations.  Both can do what you describe.  It really comes down to your preferences.  10:37
cfhowlettI suggest you download both and either ..10:37
studio-devel391I teach photography online using skype .. May concider thet 10:37
cfhowlettinstall virtualbox to windows, install Fedora and UStudio to vbox. test both.  10:37
studio-devel391Wbhat is the  difference?10:38
cfhowlettor get 2 USB's, make 2 bootable USB's, and test that way.10:38
studio-devel391would you pls explain?10:38
studio-devel391and10:38
studio-devel391which one is faster?10:38
cfhowlett!usb10:38
ubottuFor information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent10:38
studio-devel391ok10:38
studio-devel391I saw that10:38
cfhowlettno notable difference in speed as both use a light desktop environment10:39
studio-devel391So in what are they different?10:39
cfhowlettlook and feel10:39
studio-devel391may add using android simulators.. 10:39
studio-devel391only look and feels.. ?10:40
cfhowlettboth can do android.  in fact you can install the vital apps to most linux distros.10:40
studio-devel391concider an artist taste10:40
cfhowlett:_10:40
cfhowlettnot sure how I would address that, but I have done all the things you described as well as recording podcasts. US did it all with no problem. 10:41
studio-devel391where can I see more pictures about design and feutures? 10:41
cfhowlettBut I do give full props to Fedora Design for an excellent product.10:41
cfhowletthonestly, as you have narrowed your focus to the two "best" options, you really should and test them both for yourself.  YOUR sensibilities mean much more than random internet opinions.10:42
studio-devel391Thank you so much.. 10:42
studio-devel391My problem is my limitted download10:43
studio-devel391Would be better If I couls choose one.. 10:43
cfhowletttorrents!10:43
studio-devel391Really10:43
cfhowlett!torrents10:43
ubottuYakkety can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/yakkety/desktop/ubuntu-16.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/yakkety/server/ubuntu-16.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:696910:43
studio-devel391I did never use that 10:43
cfhowlettit makes downloading .iso's practically painless10:44
studio-devel391What torrent does?  Download size is the same right>?10:44
studio-devel391Only it's a manager I think 10:44
studio-devel391Ok 10:45
studio-devel391I use IDM usually10:45
studio-devel391May I ask final question10:45
studio-devel391I am using a mini linux software mounted on a bootable CD. 10:45
studio-devel391Do u Think I nned to Install Windows any way?10:45
studio-devel391I have it on an Disk Image.. 10:47
studio-devel391not dificult 10:47
studio-devel391But I prefer not to waste hard disk capacity10:47
cfhowlettstudio-devel391, if you are truly done with windows, make a bootable windows USB and save it or install virtualbox to linux > windows.10:49
cfhowlettI still have win7 but I only fire it up once or twice a year10:49
studio-devel391Is there any thing that make me go to windows?10:49
studio-devel391And10:49
cfhowlettI can't answer that for you.  10:50
studio-devel391Is this possible to install photoshop on ubunto?10:50
cfhowlettphotoshop 2.0 yes.  newer PS, no.  thus: GIMP.  10:50
cfhowlettif you need PS, keep windows10:50
studio-devel391I mean.. Are windows apps usable ?10:50
cfhowlettno10:50
cfhowlettwell10:50
cfhowlettnot 100%  with the wine emulator, SOME apps run to SOME degree10:51

studio-devel391Thanks a lot10:51
cfhowletthappy2help!  hope you come through again!10:52
studio-devel391Sure.. 10:52

OvenWerksfrom last meeting logs: "but see you next week"18:17
OvenWerksthis be next week, there a meeting or was that eylul being away for a while?18:18
eylulI am here. I kind of got buried and didn't send the message, but I figured we will have a check-in with whoever is around18:34
eylulOvenwerks ^ 18:34
OvenWerksRight.18:34
eylulI know Krytarik asked if we can do this an hour later through. so that's something to think about. 18:35
OvenWerksI have been working on -controls. 18:35
eylulI saw!!!18:35
OvenWerksI will still be around in a half...18:35
OvenWerksPerformance can be set, so far.18:36
OvenWerksin my copy performance can be set at boot as well.18:36
eylulI like that we will have the option on profile regardless of the default debacle, that.. from your emails, seems to have gotten more complicated?18:36
eylul(I like btw having the option to set up the boot default) 18:36
OvenWerksI am now setting up a button to turn "Boost" off18:37
OvenWerksSetting up boost off or on at boot is a bit harder.18:37
eylulSakrecoer, Kryten feel free to join in if you are around (and astraljava too! *checks who else is on the log*)18:37
OvenWerksIt will require creating a script in /etc/init.d/18:37
OvenWerksIntel Pstate does not guarentee a solid cpu speed if boost in on.18:38
eylul*nods*18:39
OvenWerksif boost is on then performance acts like ondemand with a minimum speed of full speed but may increase to boost level and back.18:39
OvenWerksFor graphic work boost is probably a good thing18:39
OvenWerksFor low latency audio not.18:40
eylul*nods*18:40
OvenWerksSo anyway, my current bit of -controls work sees up to getting performance and boost working.18:41
OvenWerksI do not know visually, if the GUI should separate options that are after boot or new login from those that happen on the fly or not.18:42
eylulI would assume that once we have all the additions to controls we are planning (there are several) at some point we will review the UI18:43
eylulit can be easier to figure it out once we have everything piled up in there, if that makes any sense18:43
eylul(is somewhat semi afk until meeting time)18:43
eylulOk it looks like it might be only 2 of us today19:01
eylulCurrent status of projects: 19:01
eylulControls (OvenWerks)19:02
eylulBug hunt (Rosco)19:02
eylulWallpaper contest (Cfhowlett)19:02
eylulWebsite (Sakrecoer)19:02
eylulKrita/Godot (Eylul)19:02
eylulI don't have any updates. I don't think anything happened about website so we can scratch those off the list. 19:03
OvenWerksI am just looking at the BP for -controls19:05
OvenWerksthe desktop for controls has aleady been changed to pkexec.19:08
eylulok can you explain a bit what that means?19:08
* eylul is still very new at this19:09
eylulOvenwerks ^ ) (I really need to remember to tag when talking on IRC)19:10
OvenWerks-controls runs as root, gksu used to be the way to allow someone to do that. However, Ubuntu (and maybe debian) have been using policykit for years now and this keeps all security stuff in one place and up to date19:10
eylulah ok19:11
OvenWerksin a meeting all comments are normally to everyone :)19:11
* OvenWerks types slow19:11
eylulI know but it is 2 of us so I figured you might be back to work in between replying to me19:11
OvenWerksnope, I am sitting in oour room to keep my Yf company19:12
eylulah ok. 19:12
eylulalright I did have one question for you19:12
eylullike i am very curious about all of this, but before I completely forget. What do you need from rest of us? is there anything we can do to help you work on this?19:12
OvenWerkstesting and coments on gui.19:13
OvenWerksI have only two machines to test this on and in this case the physical machine matters.19:13
eylul*nods*19:14
OvenWerksI have nothing with an MAD cpu in it for example.19:14
OvenWerkss/MAD/AMD/19:14
eylulI was going to ask :D19:14
OvenWerksdyslexia strikes...19:14
eyluldo you use a particular tool to benchmark?19:14
eylul:D it was a funny typo19:15
OvenWerksjack and Ardour or gutarix19:15
OvenWerksguitarix19:15
eylul*blinks*19:15
OvenWerksI basically look for xruns at various latencies.19:15
eylulxruns?19:15
OvenWerksArdour does not have to run at low latency, but guitarix does.19:16
OvenWerksxrun means under/overfill on the buffer. That is some audio information is lost or there is an audible click19:16
eylulso basically trying your settings and seeing if there are more or less clicks when recording?19:17
OvenWerksBoth jack and Ardour count xruns.19:17
eylulah ok19:17
OvenWerksIt is much easier than listening for some click somewhere.19:18
eylul:)19:18
eylulyeah19:18
eylulis the code on the nightly? 19:18
eylulor how do we get it on our testing setups (for those of us still new at this)19:19
OvenWerksbasically jack has to service every client during every period, if jack gets an irq saying the buffer is ready to be read/written, and has not yet serviced all clients that is an xrun.19:19
OvenWerksit is in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/autobuild/+packages19:20
OvenWerksyou can either enable the PPA or download the *deb file and apt install it19:20
eylulok19:20
OvenWerks(I do the download and install)19:21
eylulalright.19:21
eylulI'll summarize all of this and add it to the meeting email so that everybody sees it19:21
OvenWerksSo far I have just added performance19:21
eyluland I'll try to get to it this week. 19:22
OvenWerksI have more working here but it is not ready to upload.19:22
eylul*nods*19:22
OvenWerksI will probably upload when I have boost control working but before I have boost on/off at boot.19:24
OvenWerksI get a message when I start it that I should use "requires gtk3" I don't know if it will just work that way or not. I don't know if glade deals with gtk3 yet.19:25
eylulif you mean console errors... 19:26
eylulI have been seeing them all over the place. it.. probably is ok?19:26
eylulif not I have no idea. 19:26
OvenWerksWhatever script I use in /etc/init.d/ will be generic to ubuntustudio.19:26
OvenWerksi don't know either.19:26
OvenWerksI just wondr if that means what we have will already work with gtk3 and not 219:27
OvenWerksOne of the BP items is converting to gtk319:28
eylulBP?19:28
OvenWerksblue print19:29
eyluloooh19:29
eylul*nods*19:29
OvenWerkshttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-controls/+spec/ubuntustudio-controls-u19:29
OvenWerksLooking at that I am thi nking a tabbed layout would be better.19:30
eylulon blueprint there seems to be a discussion about switching guis19:30
OvenWerksYes, qt4 is now old too.19:30
eyluldo you have screenshot?19:30
eylul(there is qt5. *ducks the incoming object*)19:30
OvenWerkshttp://i.imgur.com/dxyzZC3.png19:32
eylul*patiently waits for imgur to cooperate*19:32
* OvenWerks does not enjoy using a laptop with only one screen...19:32
eylul:D19:33
eylulyeah sorry imgur is not cooperating19:35
eylulI can't see the image but email? 19:35
OvenWerksit just has another checkbox below Realtime Audio that says "CPU Governor in Performance mode19:37
eylulok19:37
OvenWerksSo it looks the same as what you have now. I am not on my dev machine so I can't get anything more.19:38
eylulah alright19:38
eylulyes I was curious about what you had that you didn't upload yet19:38
eylulI assume that frankly whatever we decide down the line, it will be first profiles, and one profile will be set as default for boot19:38
eylulif that makes sense?19:38
OvenWerksanother checkbox below with Set CPU governor to performance at boot19:39
eylul*nods*19:39
OvenWerksI am thinking to take system setting and divide it into current and boot.19:40
OvenWerksI have started adding boost on off, but it is not runable yet.19:40
eylul*nods*19:41
OvenWerksI have not started adding bosst /on/off at boot because I have to think how I will do that first... That is I have to make the script for it to enable first.19:41
OvenWerksso three tabs (for now) would be "system setup" for boot time stuff (includes user setup) system switches for on the fly changes and AUdio for audio setup. 19:43
OvenWerksAusio setup should have it's own page for sure.19:44
OvenWerks*audio19:44
eylulok19:45
OvenWerkskrytarik: o/19:46
krytarikOvenWerks, eylul: Evening.19:47
OvenWerksgood morning ;)19:47
krytarik:D19:47
eylulhi krytarik19:48
OvenWerkskrytarik: so far we have only talked about -controls19:48
OvenWerkskrytarik: at home (not uploade) I have pstate detection in so that with pstate we choose performance or powersave and with out we replace powersave with ondemand19:49
OvenWerksI have default cpu governor at bootitme figured out19:50
OvenWerksI am putting a switch in for boost on off... audio needs boost off.19:50
OvenWerkskrytarik: the need I have will be for people testing... I have tested on intel with and without pstate works. But I have no AMD hw19:51
eylul1) Controls: 19:52
eylul Len has been doing a lot of work on this (as everybody probably  already knows :) ) but can use more devices to test it on. (especially  AMD chips but more devices in general). You can download the packages a  the dev archive. Some of the updates are not in yet, but will be soon.19:52
eylul                https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/autobuild/+packages  Also will need more feedback on GUI. 19:52
eylul 2) Bug triage (no update) 19:52
eylul 3) Wallpaper contest (no update)19:52
eylul 4) Website (no update) 5) Krita package status (no update) 19:52
eylulOvenWerks: this looks like a good summary for email?19:52
eylul(the item 1 I mean)19:53
OvenWerksYa.19:53
eylulok19:53
OvenWerksI would also like one of our graphic people to commant on how the gui should be setup19:54
OvenWerksMockups would be great.19:54
OvenWerksI think I will add some auto audio setup one way or the other.19:55
eylulI will probably have more thoughts on that Ovenwerks. basically I really think we should have some basic system profiles with one default to set as boot setup than having  2 sets of checklists. I am not sure how much overhead that would be through19:56
OvenWerksThe system will assume that if a USB interface is plugged mid-session that it should be jack master.19:56
OvenWerkseylul: so templates19:57
eylulexactly19:57
OvenWerksback in a minute19:57
eyluland ideally we would have a couple there by default, like one "performance" one "audio" (because most people will not know things like: I must turn off boost")19:57
OvenWerksright20:05
eylul:)20:06
eylul*Is doing a VERY rough mockup20:06
OvenWerkseylul: the tookit will determine a lot of the finer points20:08
eylul*nods*20:08
eyluldo you want the mockup directly in the gui toolkit?20:08
eylulI was drawing in inkscape but.. 20:09
OvenWerksjust a drawing is fine. The toolkits are similar20:09
eylul(also lets wrap this up slowly. I'd rather have us get in the habit of really finishing the meetings on time)20:10
eylul*ok20:10
eylulso you are using glade currently?20:10
OvenWerksyes20:10
eylul(btw glade description says GTK3)20:10
OvenWerksI am just following what was stgarted and adding.20:10
eylul(I am just downloading it from ubuntu repo at the moment)20:11
OvenWerksso glade has been upgraded since I last looked at it. So we have majically upgraded to gkt320:14
eylul:D20:14
eylulI guess that solves the whole issue of what toolkit to use?20:14
OvenWerksYes20:15
OvenWerksglade is easy enough to figure out. I am not sure how to do systray stuff though20:15
OvenWerksI think systray was why I suggested qt4 at the time, because I had figgured out systray... but that has all changed anyway20:16
eylulsystray I know is possible in python20:16
OvenWerksi was using python woth qt4 at the time20:17
eylulI assume it is possible in GTK just not sure how20:17
eylul*nods*20:17
OvenWerksgoogle might tell us20:17
eylulyup20:18
* eylul is meanwhile trying to get glade to place items in correct places20:18
* OvenWerks had a personal version of -controls http://www.ovenwerks.net/software/audsysmode.html20:18
OvenWerkseylul: everything needs to be in a container. The container does the placement.20:19
OvenWerksbox grid whatever20:20
OvenWerkstry loading /usr/share/ubuntustudio-controls/ubuntustudio-controls.glade20:21
eylulwow20:21
* OvenWerks assumes you are already in ubuntustudio...20:21
eylulI am 20:21
eylulsorry temporarily distracted by this20:21
eylulI assume this is more or less what you are aiming for, except the system settings like CPU profiles will be split off from audio specific settings20:22
OvenWerksya20:22
eylulgot it20:22
eyluldo you mind if I add that to the email to the ML?20:23
OvenWerksnot at all20:23
OvenWerksgo right ahead20:23
eylulalright20:24
eylulhi Chamois. We are REALLY wrapping up but any updates?20:24
OvenWerksfor development, I edit the glade file as me and cp to system as root but edit /usr/sbin/ubuntustudio-controls as root in a termonal.20:25
OvenWerks*terminal20:25
* OvenWerks does not type as well on a laptop as his mechanic kb20:25
eylulit really is ok20:26
eyluland this helps. 20:26
eylulok I declare this meeting completed20:26
eylullet me first email the notes.20:26
eylulthen I'll try to make a quick .glade of what I was trying explain in words20:27
OvenWerkscool, I will be gone for a few hours,then I will start working again.20:27
eylulawesome! Thanks for your hard work on this OvenWerks20:28
OvenWerksif you move the meeting time an hour later this may be about the tim I say good bye20:28
OvenWerks(bye all)20:29
eylulthat's completely alright20:29
eylulI assume that we will have people who can make some part of meeting20:29
eylulbut right now I am thinking maybe half an hour of shift? (if at all)20:29
eyluland wrap this thing in an hour next time20:30
krytarikI agree on half an hour later.20:31
eylulKrytarik I know you need some extra time. so I hope that will help?20:33
krytarikAnd it should really be wrapable in an hour.20:33
eylul*nods*20:33
eylulwe are new at this, so I am ok with it running overtime but yes!20:33
krytarikYeah, helps me a bit.20:33
eylulthe goal is to get status update20:33
