[00:25] <Altair> Hullo
[00:26] <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
[00:27] <Altair> bye
[00:34] <sakrecoer> oh boy am i rusty... installing us 18.10 \o/ finally...
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <OvenWerks> pick "Do something else"
[00:36] <sakrecoer> if i chose esare disk and install ubuntu studio, it will wipe everything right?
[00:37] <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
[00:38] <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
[00:39] <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
[00:40] <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)
[00:41] <sakrecoer> ... you lost me there OvenWerks... what sounds a lot like a partition? :D
[00:43] <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
[00:44] <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?
[00:45] <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.
[00:46] <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 :)
[00:47] <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> :)
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <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.
[01:03] <sakrecoer> interestin, i remember it was possible to encrypt only the home folder... didn't seem to catch that step in the procedure..
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <sakrecoer> good to know. not too important in my case as this is a stationary...
[01:05] <sakrecoer> greetings krytarik o/
[01:06] <krytarik> Ohoooh!
[01:06] <sakrecoer> :)
[01:07] <sakrecoer> finally installing 18.10 \o/ of course my memory failed me. but luckily OvenWerks came to teh rescue!
[01:08] <sakrecoer> i've been conservatively sitting on my 16.04 comfyness... until my HD gave me busybox madness...
[01:09] <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
[01:15] <sakrecoer> it worked! \o/ weeeeee
[01:16] <sakrecoer> i must say eylul- wallpaper is very nice
[01:17] <sakrecoer> boy i can't wait to get all comfy in here... too bad i have pesky work tomorrow early...
[01:18] <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/
[02:12]  * Eickmeyer notices a wild sakrecoer was here, and missed him.
[02:37] <OvenWerks> not sure if wild or tamed is the right word :)
[14:49] <studio-user723> has anyone tried installing anbox on their ubuntu studio 18.04?
[14:50] <studio-user723> mine is installed (i think). clicked on "anbox application manager" window popped up satying "starting", but then always dissapears.
