| SilverCode | does anyone know of any alternatives to Audacity for basic audio editing? It seems like over the years Audacity has not kept pact with UI toolkits, and is now horribly broken on my KDE desktop | 06:41 |
|---|---|---|
| SilverCode | *pace | 06:41 |
| inetpro | good mornings | 06:44 |
| SilverCode | huh, Audacity uses wxWidgets ... that explains a lot | 06:48 |
| bushtech | SilverCode: what version of Audacity you using? | 07:39 |

| chesedo | morning all | 08:12 |
| * chesedo is finally done with the year's exams | 08:12 | |
| theblazehen | Hey chesedo . Yay! | 08:19 |
| theblazehen | I’ve got a laptop that gradually starts corrupting memory from low to high, it appears. After like a week it will make it’s way up to around 0xB8000. Surprising that Linux can even keep running. Linux is awesome | 08:24 |
| chesedo | faulty memory cards theblazehen? | 08:25 |
| theblazehen | chesedo: Pretty sure it's bios. The rest of the memory is all good, and it starts low (Linux checks the first 64K, and alerts on that), and only after like a week it gets up to 0xB8000 | 08:26 |
| theblazehen | I can `memmap` most of protected memory out and then I don't have any issues, apart from the writes to 0xB8000. But I use it headless anyway, so just a minor inconvenience | 08:28 |
| theblazehen | Hi Kilos | 08:28 |
| theblazehen | Protected mode memory * | 08:28 |
| theblazehen | Oops, real mode * | 08:29 |
| MaNI | just use zram to make up for the loss of ram | 08:33 |
| MaNI | and then avoid access to the bad part | 08:34 |
| SilverCode | bushtech: 2.2.0 | 08:34 |
| MaNI | but yeah I noticed that once long ago as well on a machine with similar issues, windows would constantly blue screen without any chance of stopping it while linux was much more resilient | 08:34 |
| Kilos | hi guys | 08:35 |
| theblazehen | MaNI: Eh, I can handle the loss of 1 MB | 08:35 |
| MaNI | well I'd disable a bit more than necessary to be sure personally | 08:35 |
| MaNI | but yeah I guess | 08:36 |
| theblazehen | Pretty sure it's the bios. And I've got a month uptime without it writing more. Previously had 4 months and it never went beyond 1 MB | 08:36 |
| theblazehen | SMM code runs in unreal mode | 08:36 |
| bushtech | SilverCode: Hmm I'm on 2.1.2. Audacity really the best so I'd try to get it working. What goes wrong? | 08:36 |
| SilverCode | bushtech_: previous verions seemd to work okay (just really ugly), but in the latest version the widgets aren't scaling properly. For instance where you select the line input, only 1/4 of the text is showing in the vertical. In other places the widgets are too big and pushing into other widgets. I think it is trying to draw the widgets in a native style, but then ignoring the sizing of the widget. | 12:40 |
| SilverCode | but I have manged to achieve what I set out to do, so I can ignore the UI problems again for another couple of weeks | 12:40 |
| SilverCode | but I really wish someone would rework the UI for Audacity like they did/doing with kdenlive and the port to Qt5 | 12:42 |
| bushtech | SilverCode: Thanks for the headsup. I think I'll stick with 2.1.2 for the time being as I'm not the guy who can fix that sort of problem.:) | 13:51 |
| pavlushka | ahoy ZA! | 17:43 |
| Kilos | hi pavlushka | 17:47 |
| pavlushka | Hiya Kilos :) | 17:48 |
| Kilos | night all, sleep tight | 19:00 |
