[03:14] <cuppy> Hi, all and happy thanksgiving to those in the US. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.3, and I'm interested in folding Ubuntu Studio into it. Could someone please point me to the best resource for my endeavor?
[03:15] <Unit193> There's the different metapackages depending on what you'd like to do.
[03:19] <cuppy> Unit193, I'm looking for production without MIDI. Hydrogen, Yoshimi, and Ardour are interesting
[03:19] <cuppy> There was (probably still is) a setup by propellorheads that most fit my needs way back
[03:20] <cuppy> Trying to remember the name of it
[03:20] <cuppy> Reason.
[03:28] <OvenWerks> cuppy: so audio, I think you need two metas and I would suggest ubuntustudio-controls as well because jackd often gets installed incorrectly. ubuntustudio-audio and ubuntustudio-core-audio are the metas
[03:30] <OvenWerks> cuppy: if you don't need low latency you might try just installing Ardour and run it with alsa as a backend
[03:30] <OvenWerks> then check for packages with lv2 in them as they will be the plugins you probably want
[03:33] <cuppy> OvenWerks, thank you - you've been helpful. I have an issue: I'm having trouble putting into context "then check for packages with lv2 in them"
[03:34] <OvenWerks> in whatever software installation program you use search for lv2. That will help you find the plugins.
[03:34] <cuppy> OvenWerks, ah. Thanks!
[03:35] <OvenWerks> ubuntustudio-audio comes with some already though. you only need to do that if you are just installing Ardour
[03:35] <cuppy> Ah. Yep I'm going with the meta
[03:35] <cuppy> s
[03:35] <OvenWerks> I am not sure what version of ardour goes with 1604, the latest is 5.12
[03:52] <cuppy> For anyone following along, the package name is instead ubuntustudio-audio-core. Don't discount OvenWerks - it's just a simple mistake :)
[04:56] <OvenWerks> :)
[17:31] <cuppy> Welp. I installed ubuntustudio-audio-core, ubuntustudio-audio, and ubuntustudio-controls, and now I can't play video such as Youtube and Facebook. :) I'm not surprised - installing a huge amount of packages tends to break things. Any ideas, though?
[17:33] <OvenWerks> cuppy: try killall -9 jackd jackdbus
[17:34] <cuppy> OvenWerks, interestingly, no processes found for either
[17:35] <OvenWerks> Hmm, not so sure then. Normally those apps would use pulseaudio which should be still working
[17:35] <OvenWerks> to restart pulse you can try pulaeaudio -k
[17:36] <cuppy> OvenWerks, it's all good. I'm not over here going, "You broke it! Fix it!"
[17:36] <OvenWerks> bad spelling ...pulseaudio -k
[17:36] <cuppy> OvenWerks, hey that worked! Thanks!
[17:37] <OvenWerks> In my case, I use pavucontrol to turn all the audio devices off, then use qjackctl to run jackdbus from the begining of the session
[17:38] <OvenWerks> pulse then creates a bridge to jack and everything goes through jack
[17:39] <OvenWerks> In other words I use pulse as a front end for jack
