| Altair | Hullo | 00:25 |
|---|---|---|
| Altair | I have no idea what I've entered | 00:26 |
| Altair | well, not really at least | 00:26 |
| Altair | I'm just installing ubuntustudio | 00:26 |
| Altair | bye | 00:27 |
| sakrecoer | oh boy am i rusty... installing us 18.10 \o/ finally... | 00:34 |
| sakrecoer | then i'm hit with doubts... | 00:35 |
| sakrecoer | i have /dev/sda blank. this is where i want my OS | 00:35 |
| sakrecoer | i have /dev/sdb full of precious data: music and pictures and what not | 00:35 |
| OvenWerks | pick "Do something else" | 00:36 |
| sakrecoer | if i chose esare disk and install ubuntu studio, it will wipe everything right? | 00:36 |
| OvenWerks | personally, I want to choose what my install does. The "something else" option allows me to see what partitions are used and if they are formatted | 00:37 |
| sakrecoer | sounds fair... | 00:38 |
| sakrecoer | i here since 18.04 a swap partition isn't required anymore, because it uses some kindof swap file.. | 00:38 |
| sakrecoer | i hear even | 00:38 |
| OvenWerks | If I am just testing I generally have the testing partition use it's own boot sector to install grub on. | 00:39 |
| sakrecoer | OvenWerks: this is for my production machine... | 00:39 |
| OvenWerks | Yikes! | 00:39 |
| sakrecoer | yikes for production with 18.10 or swap files? | 00:39 |
| sakrecoer | hehe | 00:39 |
| OvenWerks | swap files can be a bad thing unless they are fixed size | 00:40 |
| OvenWerks | and that size is contiguous | 00:40 |
| OvenWerks | (Hmm sounds a lot like a partition) | 00:40 |
| sakrecoer | ... you lost me there OvenWerks... what sounds a lot like a partition? :D | 00:41 |
| OvenWerks | Ya, A contiguous bit of drive space, set aside, is like a partition. So that kind of swap file is like mounting a file as a partition | 00:43 |
| sakrecoer | got it :) | 00:43 |
| OvenWerks | This is different from the windows type spawfile. The windows swapfile starts out small amd grows as needed | 00:43 |
| OvenWerks | This means the head may have to jump around to find what should be one long run of data | 00:44 |
| OvenWerks | (equals slow) | 00:44 |
| sakrecoer | so would you recomend to do a partition for swap? | 00:44 |
| OvenWerks | My personal thoughts on swap for music, is that swap should never be used except to allow one to safe an otherwise good recording in an OOM event. | 00:45 |
| sakrecoer | OOM? | 00:46 |
| OvenWerks | If you are using an SSD it may not matter as there is not physical head to move and the bits of memory are A) not contiguous anyway amnd B) movable. | 00:46 |
| OvenWerks | OOM = out of memory | 00:46 |
| sakrecoer | thanks :) | 00:46 |
| sakrecoer | i'll just try without swap partition then. if i stumble on something weird i'll repport back | 00:47 |
| sakrecoer | very good to read you btw OvenWerks :) | 00:47 |
| OvenWerks | :) | 00:47 |
| OvenWerks | if you are installing 18.10... try using -controls for starting jack instead of qjackctl or cadence | 00:48 |
| OvenWerks | Use patchage for connections | 00:48 |
| sakrecoer | i was looking at it while playing arround on the live boot. can't wait to try it :) | 00:49 |
| sakrecoer | looks like there's been a lot of energy put into it! <3 | 00:49 |
| OvenWerks | -controls will let you set up your internal audio as i/o and then a USB device will just show up when plugged in. | 00:49 |
| sakrecoer | interestin, i remember it was possible to encrypt only the home folder... didn't seem to catch that step in the procedure.. | 01:03 |
| sakrecoer | oh well https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2397546 | 01:04 |
| OvenWerks | I haven't tried to do that. | 01:04 |
| sakrecoer | seems it's been disabled.. | 01:04 |
| OvenWerks | I thought it was in the format choice | 01:04 |
| sakrecoer | good to know. not too important in my case as this is a stationary... | 01:05 |
| sakrecoer | greetings krytarik o/ | 01:05 |
| krytarik | Ohoooh! | 01:06 |
| sakrecoer | :) | 01:06 |
| sakrecoer | finally installing 18.10 \o/ of course my memory failed me. but luckily OvenWerks came to teh rescue! | 01:07 |
| sakrecoer | i've been conservatively sitting on my 16.04 comfyness... until my HD gave me busybox madness... | 01:08 |
| sakrecoer | it's time to reboot... if i don't come back, it means the HD is dead and i will go to bed lol :D if anyone has a spare thumb to hold <3 | 01:09 |
| sakrecoer | it worked! \o/ weeeeee | 01:15 |
| sakrecoer | i must say eylul- wallpaper is very nice | 01:16 |
| sakrecoer | boy i can't wait to get all comfy in here... too bad i have pesky work tomorrow early... | 01:17 |
| OvenWerks | enjoy... | 01:18 |
| sakrecoer | <3 thanks for your assistance OvenWerks :) i'll be sure to put -controls at hard test! | 01:18 |
| sakrecoer | g'night! o/ | 01:18 |
| * Eickmeyer notices a wild sakrecoer was here, and missed him. | 02:12 | |
| OvenWerks | not sure if wild or tamed is the right word :) | 02:37 |
