[01:31] <zeropatience> off to a bad start: tablet buttons, auto screen rotation and on screen keyboard not working
[01:31] <zeropatience> no calibration for wacom?
[01:32] <zeropatience> cannot scroll by dragging screen
[01:33] <zeropatience> farewell, will try again next year.

[02:05] <Guest32415> which way do noobs go?
[02:23] <veremitz> left
[02:34] <zeropatience> all the same problems plaguing linux for the last ten years, none of them fixed
[02:36] <zeropatience> blank screen out of standby, no tablet mode support, no calibration of stylus, no auto screen rotation or on screen keyboard
[02:36] <zeropatience> screen tearing
[02:37] <zeropatience> every problems represents days of research to resolve, but i am no longer interested
[02:38] <zeropatience> all issues known for years, only workarounds in suppport threads where nobody can agree
[02:39] <zeropatience> and then solutions involve following many command and editing or creating files, dealing with permission hell
[02:39] <zeropatience> you asked for feedback. this OS is not usable
[02:45] <OvenWerks> some more non-feedback
[02:50] <OerHeks> just some more info about *what* hardware would save the rant
[03:01] <OvenWerks> it would help if they said why they want to switch from whatever they are using now (and tell us what that is). and define all of these things they are talking about. Some idea of their workflow would also help.
[03:02] <OvenWerks> however, my reply at this time, is: if what you have works, keep using it.
[03:49] <Eickmeyer>  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[03:49] <Eickmeyer> If all they're going to do is come in here and complain with zero solutions, they can just get out. I couldn't care less.

[11:30] <WynnHaynes> Hello! I am having some issues getting Ardour to record external MIDI input using the JACK transport.
[11:30] <WynnHaynes> If I, for example, change the transport to Internal, then I can get it to record, but, of course, the timing is then out of sync
[11:31] <WynnHaynes> I am using Ubuntu Studio 19.04 and in order for everything to work so far (I'm using DrumGizmo for one of my inputs) I had to disable the "auto-input
[11:31] <WynnHaynes> ... option in the Monitoring section of properties
[11:32] <WynnHaynes> What happens is that I start to record, there is immediately an XRUN, and the track stops recording with barely any data put down
[11:32] <WynnHaynes> If I don't use the JACK transport, however, it records fine.
[11:32] <WynnHaynes> So, I'm not really sure what is wrong with JACK here. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could troubleshoot this?
[11:33] <WynnHaynes> I just checked. It's with any external JACK input, not just with DrumGizmo. I tried an input from Qsynth directly into an Ardour track with the JACK transport activated, and it immediately stops recording when I hit "Play"
[11:40] <WynnHaynes> I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that the MIDI input is all from Qtractor.
[12:09] <WynnHaynes> Could part of the problem be the Ubuntu Studio Controls?
[12:09] <WynnHaynes> I've done some looking around and it seems that when I hit record, I get about 42 XRUNS at once
[12:10] <WynnHaynes> my buffer was at 1024 and then I moved it down to 256
[14:58] <OvenWerks> WynnHaynes: a buffer size of 256 should not be a problem.
[14:59] <OvenWerks> I am just trying to wrap my head around what you are doing. It seems you are running drum gizmo as an application? Is there a reason not to use a plugin right in Ardour?
[15:00] <OvenWerks> You are also running both ardour and qtracktor?
[15:02] <OvenWerks> Which one is master?
[15:58] <WynnHaynes> Ardour is master
[15:58] <WynnHaynes> Sorry, I was out for a while :)
[15:58] <WynnHaynes> Yes, I am running DG through Calf, because I thought the problem (originally) was MIDI input
[15:59] <WynnHaynes> so I decided to run my MIDI (from Qtractor) through Drum Gizmo via Carla (not Calf, typo) and then output the audio to an Audio track in Ardour
[15:59] <WynnHaynes> Does that make sense?
[16:05] <WynnHaynes> OvenWerks would it be better to make JACK master?
[16:17] <WynnHaynes> I found that the problem is Qtractor, not Ardour
[16:18] <WynnHaynes> I first tried making Qtractor slave and there was still an issue
[16:18] <WynnHaynes> But, I decided that I will take the MIDI file from Qtractor and load it up in another external program like MUSE
[16:18] <WynnHaynes> So, I loaded it in Muse and, lo and behold, Ardour recorded it without complaint
[16:41] <WynnHaynes> Well, I solved the problem. It went along with what you asked, OvenWerks. For Ardour to record from Qtractor, Qtractor had to be set as Master and Ardour slave.
[16:41] <WynnHaynes> Then it worked!
[16:41] <WynnHaynes> Thanks a lot for the input :)
[16:42] <WynnHaynes> Goodbye for now
[16:53] <Mark88> after upgrading to 16.04 (trying to get to 18.04) my desktop boots into xfce however when I click on file manager it returnes me with my old background and the whole desktop acts like unity or kind of a xfce-unity cross. anyone know how to fix this?
[17:00] <Eickmeyer> Mark88: I don't have much time right now to walk you through this, but try #xubuntu or #ubuntu since it's not an Ubuntu Studio-specific issue.
[17:03] <Mark88> this is an ubuntu studio issue....thanys what I'm using
[17:04] <Mark88> I should have said studio 16.04, my bad
[17:06] <Eickmeyer[m]> Ubuntu Studio Is Ubuntu, not a derivitive. Same with Xubuntu as they are just Ubuntu with Xfce. Please follow my advice, thanks.
[19:31] <Javier5> Hello everyone. I am having some problems with a couple of the x42 midi plugins: "MIDI CC Map" and MIDI CC Scale" do not seem to be working. I don't get any error in Carla and the midi input led does not activate and of course there is no midi output, I double checked with "MIDI Monitor for Jack". Any suggestions?
