[12:02] <lightcycle> Someone who can recommend a USB audio interface with at least 16 ch in? Is 2nd gen Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 any good?
[14:31] <hggdh> Eickmeyer: factoid updated, thank you
[14:56] <Eickmeyer> hggdh: Thanks!
[15:00] <Eickmeyer> lightcycle: I've had a lot of luck with Behringer interfaces so long as I'm using Jack. The Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820 seems to be what you might be looking for, and it's relatively easy on the price compared to the Focusrite products.
[16:41] <lightcycle> Eickmeyer: Thank you for that, I will look into the Behringer interface as a possibility!
[20:18] <darkad> Hi all, no power management on ubuntustudio?
[20:19] <Eickmeyer> darkad: What do you mean by power management?
[20:19] <darkad> I set the behavior in case of low battery but nothing happens
[20:19] <darkad> and the computer losses the power without giving any alert message
[20:20] <darkad> I changed also between xfce power manager and gnome power manager but the result is just the same
[20:20] <Eickmeyer> darkad: That means it's a hardware problem. After time, some batteries don't report proper percentages.
[20:21] <Eickmeyer> You might need a battery replacement.
[20:21] <darkad> but I see the right percentage if I execute the power-manager-statistics
[20:21] <darkad> and I can look at the battery level also on the applet indicator
[20:22] <darkad> I got some doubts about default rt kernel compatibility, or some boot options maybe
[20:22] <Eickmeyer> darkad: Since this isn't a problem specific to Ubuntu Studio, and since Ubuntu Studio is simply customized Ubuntu, I might have to direct you to #xubuntu since it might be a problem with the applet. We don't develop the Xfce desktop here.
[20:23] <Eickmeyer> darkad: We don't have the RT kernel. If you've installed the RT kernel, that's not supported here.
[20:24] <Eickmeyer> We have the lowlatency kernel, which is simply the default "generic" kernel with an extra flag (PREEMPT_RT) set.
[20:24] <darkad> 4.4.0-143-lowlatency #169-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 7 08:38:45 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[20:24] <Eickmeyer> Which version of Ubuntu Studio are you using? (lsb_release -a)
[20:24] <darkad> yes I was wrong, that's my kernel
[20:25] <darkad> 18.04
[20:25] <Eickmeyer> Okay. The lowlatency kernel is installed and runs by default. What problems are you having?
[20:25] <darkad> I was wrong again
[20:25] <darkad> No LSB modules are available.
[20:25] <darkad> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[20:25] <darkad> Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
[20:25] <darkad> Release:	16.04
[20:25] <darkad> Codename:	xenial
[20:26] <Eickmeyer> Oh, you need to upgrade to 18.04 soon. 16.04 is end-of-life within the next month.
[20:26] <darkad> yes no problem
[20:27] <darkad> how can I test if the power pamanger is working correctly?
[20:27] <darkad> It doesn't give any alert on low battery
[20:27] <Eickmeyer> darkad: You might have to ask in #ubuntu. Our scope in this channel is limited to Ubuntu Studio-specific items.
[20:27] <darkad> but I can see the low batteery if I run the power-manager-statistics
[20:27] <Eickmeyer> But, try #xubuntu first. It's their desktop environment.
[20:28] <darkad> thanks
[20:28] <Eickmeyer> Like I said, though, you need to upgrade for better support.
[20:31] <darkad> It's an old thing,that should work also on 16.04, but thnks anyway
[20:37] <Eickmeyer> You're welcome. The problem is that 16.04 only has 1 month left of support, so people are going to tell you to upgrade and then try. Newer versions of software has bug fixes that might include bug fixes to power management.
[20:39] <darkad> I though it was an old and stable feature, but I'll take a look at specific package version for this new release. Thanks again
[20:41] <Eickmeyer> You have the wrong definition of stable. Stable does not mean bug-free. Stable means nothing in the distribution changes aside from security updates.
[20:42] <Eickmeyer> darkad: ^
