[00:10] hello, recently installed ubuntu studio 17.10 on my laptop. it's got horrible lag/ choppiness. It feels to me that it's something to do with the video, i.e. the mouse doesn't respond right away or stops while i'm moving it and then jumps. but i get it from typing text too, the text doesn't appear on the screen right away. i've googled a lot and did what everyone recommends, switching to propriety nvidia drivers, but that hasn't fixed it. anyon [00:10] e know what this is and how to fix it? should i downgrade to 17.04, or try 18.04? or is there another easy fix? [09:38] good morning. is anyone awake [09:39] you dfo know this is a worldwide network? [09:40] I do now. Guess I assummed everyone was asleep since I didnt see any text traffic [09:42] Nice to meet you cfhowlett. I'm a home musician. Played guitar over 30 years and never once recorded myself playing. I'm hoping the Ubuntu Studio can help in that endeavor [09:43] #opensourcemusicans is the dedicated music channel, but ask away here first if you want [09:44] I'm looking to see if anyone has experience installing the ubuntu studio components on top of another linux distro. Right now I have Linux mint kde 18.3. I had read that studio can install like this but there may be some pitfalls [09:45] sorry, but mint is not ubuntu and is not supported here. ask mint for support [09:45] !mint [09:45] The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [09:49] Much appreciated [09:49] happy2help! [21:39] Should ubuntustudio 16.04 be able to natively support using VLC to play TV from my Hauppauge HVR-1600 card? Or does additional software need to be installed?
