[00:10] <spectacular> 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] <spectacular> 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] <EpiZepi> good morning.  is anyone awake
[09:39] <cfhowlett> you dfo know this is a worldwide network?
[09:40] <EpiZepi> I do now.  Guess I assummed everyone was asleep since I didnt see any text traffic
[09:42] <EpiZepi> 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] <cfhowlett> #opensourcemusicans is the dedicated music channel, but ask away here first if you want
[09:44] <EpiZepi> 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] <cfhowlett> sorry, but mint is not ubuntu and is not supported here.  ask mint for support
[09:45] <cfhowlett> !mint
[09:49] <EpiZepi> Much appreciated
[09:49] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[21:39] <JDA2> 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?
