Thr0rI am ripping off all my old cd's and building a library and playlists. That work goes just fine using Asunder CD ripper witch I got a  tip to use here.. But I also have alot of .wma files and itunes .mp4 files on my old win7 HD and alot of them will not play in any of my players..  Audacious gives no error, just starts and stop, Parole says “GStreamer backend error (The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported)”  - S00:29
Thr0rome .wma files works just fine though.. Any point in trying to get them decrypted in some player?00:29
M_aDThr0r: sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras00:33
OvenWerksThr0r: I use the Moheli Theme which has even bigger grabbers (I think) I use the Numix style on top of that for a more obvious active window indication.00:34
M_aDwith that you pull in the multimedia codecs you need to play other files 'n stuff00:34
OvenWerksThat sounds right00:35
* M_aD calls it a day00:35
M_aDchat later ;)00:35
Thr0rM_aD: ok - thanks00:35
M_aDyw00:35
OvenWerks.wma is a container as is mp4, it is the actual codec in side that matters.00:36
Thr0rOvenWerks: ok - I will try both the Theme and that from M_aD:  regarding the music - but I don't like to install everything without understanding what it is and that it is safe. But I have paid for all that music and I want it back..00:41
Thr0rWill this ubuntu-restricted-extras allow all my players to play these encrypted music? I read about it and I have no problem installing it - just don't know how to use it and how it works..?00:47
Thr0rbtw -00:47
Thr0ri00:47
Thr0rBtw - iTunes is history now..00:48
Thr0rsorry about the latest posting - keyboard issue....00:51
* OvenWerks has never used itunes00:57
Thr0rWell - I did the install "sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras" but it did not help. Don't know how to use it really - if it is a new program or not...01:04
OvenWerksnot a new program, new codecs that other programs can use01:05
OvenWerksI don't know how to tell if they are working or not.01:05
OvenWerksusing ffmpeg from the command line can pinpoint what codec the various parts of a file are encoded with though.01:06
Thr0rok - I get the same error in parole when opening .vma's01:07
OvenWerksI have that as well as vcl and xine some things play on one but not others.01:09
Thr0rok - maybe there is another # channel in here somewhere with experts on this topic. But I have some really nice music I've paid for that I would like to have..01:12
OvenWerksI understand that01:12
OvenWerksI use mecoder to transcode things to work with my DVD player which is quite picky01:13
Thr0rthanks for helping - now I will experiment with Themes and grabbing :)01:14
OvenWerksI have noticed that when it starts it gives a lot of information about the encoding used in the original.01:14
OvenWerkscool01:14
Thr0rIt's often the small things... But I'd hate to think that the fact that I'm not able to grab frames of windows in order to resize them and arrange them without using a minute to do it would be the thing that led med to not using Linux. I have never had that problem in Windows - ever. Have tried different themes and all, doesn't help. (Didn't find Moheli Theme..).02:46
OvenWerksThr0r: I am on 18.04, so maybe it has been dropped.02:48
Thr0rok.. maybe02:48
OvenWerksI found it in settings->window manager->style->theme02:49
OvenWerksI have always found themes confusing, There is window manager theme, And there is settings-> appearance->style and icon themes02:51
OvenWerkssome times the style makes no difference if the main theme does it all... also some of the gnome applications take over the window decorations with really (in my opinion) horible internal theming. The push has been towards a "phone like" experience (no thank you) so that people who have used a phone will feel at home. That is great for browsing with one window at full screen, but for some one02:55
OvenWerksdoing work with as many as 10 windows per screen (and four work spoaces with as many windows each)...02:56
OvenWerksreally, I need to know which window has focus and be able to move and resize easily.02:56
OvenWerkswindowing originally started with all these features (see the original motif windows) where the window handles were all separated and plainly visible.02:58
OvenWerksand has gone to harder to use from there so it can be more like windows or mac.02:58
Thr0rI totally aggree! Much is going into getting it look fancyer....  But - Yess! Window manager > Style - I Find it and it's much better. There is even Greybird-accessibility, maybe that is where I am now at my age that I need that. Thanks!03:01
Thr0r..and I'n not thaaaat old...03:02
OvenWerksI get to say I am in my 50s.... for one more year :P03:03
Thr0rI have 5 more 8-) oldie03:04
Thr0rAnyways thanks so much for help - It will help in my daily work trying to get the music to play..03:06
OvenWerksyour welcome03:06
M_aDWell, i kinda explained what ubuntu-restricted-extras pulls in :)10:41

studio-user014Is there a man page or help for commands here? (Sorry. I'm new)14:43
Eickmeyerstudio-user014: http://ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/ircc-commands.html turned up in a web search.14:46
studio-user014Thanks, again. I did a "man irc"14:46

Mondotest14:49
MondoHmmm... Nickserv says it's registered, but still lets me use it. Interesting14:50
M_aDsince this isn't Ubuntu Studio related please /join #ubuntustudio-offtopic14:50
MondoSure thing.14:51
MondoNobody is awake at Ubuntu-Nevada. Could you help with a sound problem in Studio, Eickmeyer?14:54
EickmeyerMondo: What's up?14:55
EickmeyerM_aD could possibly help too.14:55
M_aDdepends14:56
MondoI did something to my Ubuntu Studio and killed the sound14:56
MondoNo sound from Rythmbox, browser, etc... :(14:56
EickmeyerWell, what did you do?14:56
MondoYesterday I added Clam and it found a couple of files in an old folder that I quarantined. Autoscan last night found nothing.14:56
Mondo\This morning I added KeePassXC just before I noticed the lack of sound.14:56
EickmeyerHmmm...14:56
Eickmeyer!sound | Mondo, try these steps before we delve deeper14:57
ubottuMondo, try these steps before we delve deeper: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - https://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.14:57
MondoThank you. I'll go through all that14:59
MondoOK. So, I did some troubleshooting as suggested on the SoundTroubleshooting page and even aplay doesn't work. However, the top of the page says, "As of 2012, much of the information on this page is outdated. Please refer to the official sound debugging guide" so I'm not sure it works like it's supposed to in Studio. I went to the referenced Ubuntu\Support page. But, it's just several screens of advertising. No joy, yet.16:37
EickmeyerMondo: Try opening Ubuntu Studio Controls and click "Stop Jack". That should get things back to normal if you have started Jack for whatever reason.16:38
EickmeyerYou /may/ have to restart whatever applications you have running that play sound.16:40
MondoNothing. I rebooted earlier. Should I reboot again, after stopping Jack?'16:43
EickmeyerShouldn't need to.16:44
MondoQasMixer says it16:45
Mondo's 100%16:45
EickmeyerOpen pavucontrol and see what's going on there.16:45
MondoControl settings are at 10016:45
EickmeyerBut what is the audio card selected?16:45
MondoPS: no sound through headphones, either16:45
EickmeyerIf it says "dummy" then that helps us know what's going on.16:46
MondoI aplay -l shows the following:16:47
MondoAs of 2012, much of the information on this page is outdated. Please refer to the official sound debugging guide16:47
MondoDamn... can't paste that here?16:47
Eickmeyer!paste16:47
ubottuFor posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.16:47
MondoI pasted into paste.ubuntu.com16:49
MondoCan you see it?16:49
EickmeyerPaste the link here.16:49
Mondohttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ytK6n6nvd9/16:49
EickmeyerOk, alsa looks fine. Try typing "pulseaudio -k" in a terminal.16:50
Mondoas root?16:52
EickmeyerNo. Never as root.16:52
MondoOK. Troubleshooting page said one test didn't work unless root.16:52
Mondoexiting root now16:52
MondoThat didn't give any results. Still no sound.16:53
EickmeyerOpen pavucontrol.16:54
EickmeyerMake sure it's sending audio to the correct output.16:54
EickmeyerIn this case, your analog output.16:54
MondoOutput device is Port: Analog Output and Port Speakers16:56
EickmeyerOk. What are you using to test audio?16:56
EickmeyerWhat application?16:57
MondoRhythmBox16:57
MondoyouTube16:57
MondoThe center test in terminal16:57
EickmeyerOk, let's not do anything browser-based. Restart rhythmbox and try playing something again.16:57
EickmeyerReason: You have to fully restart anything that plays audio (including browsers) to test the audio from that application. But, I know you're connected to IRC via web, so that would defeat the purpose.16:58
MondoIt's playing. No sound. BTW, when I plug the headphones the PAVcontrol acks16:58
EickmeyerTry rebooting. I'm out of ideas.16:59
MondoStudio doesn't seem to have an IRC program. Did I miss it?16:59
MondoRebooting now17:00
Mondo_Back now17:02
Mondo_What was the terminal command for center test?17:02
EickmeyerI don't know that.17:03
EickmeyerTry rhythmbox.17:03
Mondo_aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav17:03
Mondo_hello? I didn't quit... :(17:05
EickmeyerNo, your old browser session timed-out.17:06
Mondo_OK17:06
Mondo_RhythmBox no joy; VLC also no joy17:06
Mondo_Looks like I'll have to wipe/rebuild?17:07
EickmeyerNormally, there's no reason.17:07
EickmeyerWhich version of Ubuntu Studio are you using, and have you added any extra repositories?17:07
Mondo_"Normally", unless you're a noob!17:07
Mondo_18.04 with back ports17:08
EickmeyerOk, good.17:08
EickmeyerNo KXStudio?17:08
Mondo_No17:08
EickmeyerGood.17:08
EickmeyerI'm kindof at a loss. I was hoping OvenWerks was here since he has a few more tricks up his sleeve than I do.17:08
Mondo_I tried KX and AV. Couldn't get either to configure well.17:08
Mondo_OK. Thanks for all your help17:09
EickmeyerTry #ubuntu17:09
Eickmeyer"/join #ubuntu"17:09
Mondo_I'll check back later and look for OvenWorks17:09
Mondo_OK17:09
EickmeyerThere's people active in #ubuntu now.17:09
Eickmeyer!kxstudio | Mondo_, here's our policy on KXStudio17:10
ubottuMondo_, here's our policy on KXStudio: KXStudio is an Ubuntu-based operating system and a repository for Debian-based operating systems for audio production. Development is on hiatus until late-2019 as of this writing.  It is not supported by Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio, and using its repo is discouraged. Support in #kxstudio.17:10
EickmeyerJust FYI.17:10
Mondo_#ubuntu is VERY busy right now17:10
Mondo_I can't get it17:10
EickmeyerMondo_: Just post your question, and explain you did the steps in !sound.17:10
Mondo_Yes, Eickmeyer, I saw that when I d/l17:11
Mondo_OK17:11
Mondo_What's "!sound"?17:11
Mondo_man page?17:11
EickmeyerThat's the ! command I used to show you the initial troubleshooting steps.17:11

EickmeyerYeah, you might need to register.17:12
DirtyEarHi everybody. I want to run the "X Air Edit" software to use the Behrniger XR18. I cannot conect the Behringer with my PC. Do you have any idea of how can I Fixed it?. Thanks for any help!17:12
Eickmeyer!register17:13

Mondo_lot of join attempts right now17:13
Mondo_OK. Trying freenode17:13
EickmeyerDirtyEar: I've only been able to get that to work via network.17:13
DirtyEarEickmeyer thanks to answer!. I have connected the behrnigher withe the ethernet cable17:14
Mondo_I have a Behringer Xenyx X1832 that I'm hoping to be able to use17:14
DirtyEarThe "program" opens but never shows me ip or something17:14
EickmeyerMondo_: I have a Behringer UMC404HD that works perfectly. Tell me how the X1832 works for you. That should work via Jack.17:14
DirtyEarI had an UMC404HD and works perfectly!17:15
Mondo_once I get things running I'll let you know17:15
EickmeyerDirtyEar: You might have to manually enter the IP. You said it's an XAIR 18?17:15
DirtyEarNow I have the behringer XR18 and it sounds and everything, but the software X AIR EDIT does not run17:15
DirtyEarEickmeyer17:15
DirtyEarIf you could help to do it, I will do! thanks bro!17:16
EickmeyerDirtyEar: I find it odd that it doesn't run. I never had an issue. Did you try running it from a terminal and see what it says?17:16
* Eickmeyer has used X32s via the X Edit app17:17
DirtyEarNo. I just double click the file I downloaded from the Behringer webpage17:17
EickmeyerRight. Try right-clicking the folder it's in, click "Open Terminal" and type the name of the app.17:18
* Eickmeyer is on the wrong computer right now, might have to switch17:18
DirtyEarEickmeyer, thanks!17:20
DirtyEarI did waht you said, it shows me, orden does not found (but in spanish)17:20
EickmeyerDirtyEar: I'm going to give it a shot. Hang on.17:23
* Eickmeyer is on the right computer now17:23
* Eickmeyer is running 19.0417:23
EickmeyerDirtyEar: I just tried it and had no issues. I'm running v1.5 64-bit.17:26
EickmeyerUnfortunately, I don't have an X-AIR to test it on.17:26
* Eickmeyer would love to have one!17:27
Eickmeyerd'oh17:27
DirtyEarHi. Excuse me I lost eh internet connection17:56
DirtyEarI tried to run in console18:00
DirtyEarShows me. X-AIR-Edit: does not found the order18:00
DirtyEarSome other idea?18:04
DirtyEarHow can I connect the XR18 manually?18:05
DirtyEarHi. Excuse me I lost the connection again18:54
DirtyEarSome idea about how to connect manually the Behringer XR18?18:55
EickmeyerDirtyEar: You were having difficulty even getting the app to run last we were able to communicate.19:03
DirtyEarHi Eickmeyer, thanks a lot bro.19:04
EickmeyerI just tried it and had no issues getting it to launch.19:04
DirtyEarI have the app working, it's running but it does not recognize the mixer19:04
EickmeyerConnected via USB or network?19:04
EickmeyerThe only way I've ever been able to get the X32-Edit app to work is via network.19:05
DirtyEarI tried in windows 10 and the mixer sohws automatically. But in ubuntuStudio does not show me anything19:05
DirtyEarNetwork connection19:05
EickmeyerDid you click on "Setup" and try to auto scan?19:06
Eickmeyer"rescan" in setup19:06
DirtyEarI am listening to music right now19:06
DirtyEarOk19:06
EickmeyerMoreover, I'm talking about inside the X-Air app.19:06
DirtyEarI click on setuo19:07
DirtyEarthen click on rescan but it does not show me any adress or mixer19:07
Eickmeyer(BTW, this goes outside of the scope of Ubuntu Studio, so this is help as a courtesy since I'm familiar with the app)19:07
EickmeyerAre you connected to the mixer via its access point or is it connected to your wifi?19:08
DirtyEarExcuse me about that. May you give me the correct "room" or something. ANd once again thank you for your help. I really apreciatte it19:09
EickmeyerThe only real help you're going to get is from Behringer since it's their app, but I'll help as far as I know how.19:09
EickmeyerBasically, this isn't Ubuntu Studio's fault if it doesn't work.19:09
DirtyEarI use the Ethernet option and conect directly th mixer with the pc through LAN wire or cable19:09
EickmeyerOk, do you know the X-Air's IP address?19:10
DirtyEarBro excuse me once again the internet19:31
DirtyEarReally sorry19:31
DirtyEar14:10:19) Eickmeyer: Ok, do you know the X-Air's IP address?19:31
EickmeyerStill here.19:32
DirtyEarI supose 192.168.1.1, is it?19:32
EickmeyerProbably, try it. Assuming it's in access point mode.19:32
DirtyEarHow can I now the IP?19:34
EickmeyerWell, the other thing is that your computer can't be connected to any other networks, at least from what I can ascertain. https://behringerwiki.musictribe.com/index.php?title=4._Network_Connection19:35
DirtyEarDo I have to put in acces point and try to enter with my cellphone?19:35
EickmeyerThat I don't know. I'm just familiar with the app, but never operated an XR18 myself. I'm more of an X32 guy.19:36
EickmeyerWhat I just linked there has just about everything you can know about how to connect.19:36
DirtyEarI like the x32 but I just had money to the XR18, but of course I still working to save money for the X3219:37
EickmeyerRight, I don't blame you. I wish I had an XR18 myself. I used to operate X32s nearly daily.19:37
DirtyEarYes, I see some "tips" to wok with the mixer19:37
DirtyEarI see. You have the oportunity to play with X32 almost every day19:38
EickmeyerUsed to, until mid-December.19:38
DirtyEarI just used it 2 times and it is very great!19:38
DirtyEarEickmeyer, new things comes every day!19:39
EickmeyerYep!19:40
DirtyEarEickmeyer I will try waht the link said. If i have some issue, is it right if I post here what I get?19:40
EickmeyerYou can, but I can't guarantee I can help you since I have nothing to test on.19:41
DirtyEarDo not worry about it, I am very grateful for your help. Thanks a lot Eickmeyer!19:43
EickmeyerQuite welcome. :)19:43
DirtyEarGreat!19:44
studio-user952Are you still on, Eickmeyer?22:20
=== studio-user952 is now known as Mondo
EickmeyerMondo: My time is limited. What's up?22:21
MondoJust wanted you to know that my no sound issue is only in Studio. Works fine in Mont.22:21
Mondo*Mint22:21
MondoYou go. I'll check in tomorrow and maybe someone else has some ideas...22:22
EickmeyerMondo: I'd still check in #ubuntu if I were you. Ubuntu Studio /is/ Ubuntu.22:23
EickmeyerAside from Jack and installed software, there's no real difference.22:23
MondoYes. I couldn't get in there today. I'll try them first in the morning.22:24
MondoThanks, again, for all your help! :)22:24
EickmeyerYou're welcome.22:24
OvenWerksEickmeyer: sorry I was away... but "Home directory not accessible: Permission denied" sounds like someone is trying to run something as sudo or su something. Certainly a permitions problem.23:52
EickmeyerOvenWerks: we already determined he was in root mode. Didn't matter what he tried, though.23:53
OvenWerksEickmeyer: once you start jack in root (or some other direct to alsa application) the device is locked period.23:54
OvenWerksneed to reboot at the very least23:55
EickmeyerGotcha. Sounds like he followed an instruction in the wiki incorrectly.23:55
EickmeyerHe did reboot, but couldn't get anything working.23:55
OvenWerksanything in audio does not need nor should ever use root.23:55
OvenWerksaudio is always userland23:55
EickmeyerRight, that's one reason I said "never as root".23:56
OvenWerksThe secret command is: cd /tmp && wget http://jackaudio.org/downloads/adevices.sh && bash ./adevices.sh23:56
OvenWerks(all one line23:56
OvenWerksand paste the output23:57
OvenWerksIt (just like aplay/record -l) displays all the devices but it also shows what process is using the device and who the user is.23:58
EickmeyerIf we were to make that a ! command, what would we call it?23:58
EickmeyerI mean, for the channel here.23:58
EickmeyerSeems extremely useful and something I'd forget easily.23:58
* OvenWerks has a file with just that command line in ~/Documents/Audio/ :)23:59
