| studiobot | <designbybeck> Good thing I had Ubuntu Studio on a USB! Have to use it today as my main OS today | 14:13 |
|---|---|---|
| studiobot | <designbybeck> However, I'm trying to setup my NordVPN and it is grey out | 14:13 |
| studiobot | <designbybeck> as far as the Add VPN in the network settings goes, any ideas? | 14:13 |
| studiobot | <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> @designbybeck [However, I'm trying to setup my NordVPN and it is grey out], I wouldn't advise using NordVPN anymore, as they got hacked recently if I remember correctly | 14:14 |
| studiobot | <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> In the Network settings there should be a way to add VPN settings | 14:14 |
| studiobot | <designbybeck> (Photo, 516x420) https://i.imgur.com/OYatXoV.jpg | 14:19 |
| studiobot | <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> Yeah, Have you tried it? | 14:19 |
| studiobot | <designbybeck> greyed out | 14:19 |
| studiobot | <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> Ah. | 14:19 |
| studiobot | <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> I'm not sure, I really don't use VPN's. Sorry mate. MAybe somebody else can help | 14:20 |
| studiobot | <designbybeck> Thanks @SomeIrrelevantPerson0000 | 14:20 |
| studiobot | <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> No problem mate | 14:20 |
| tomreyn | install network-manager-openvpn-gnome then logout and login and use nm-connections-editor to setup your vpn (although it'll also work the way you tried then) | 14:43 |
| tomreyn | designbybeck ^ | 14:43 |
| studiobot | <designbybeck> thanks @tom | 14:45 |
| studiobot | <designbybeck> I just did their commandline way and got connected that way for now | 14:46 |
| tomreyn | alright :) | 14:56 |
| _SKiTZO | I have an old MOTU Traveller that I want to get working on ubuntu. it is a firewire interface. I have PCIe firewire interface in my modern-ish computer | 22:12 |
| _SKiTZO | When I plug it in, there is no "plug and play" going on. no new hardware seems to be detected etc | 22:12 |
| _SKiTZO | I am on stock Ubuntu 18.04 | 22:13 |
| _SKiTZO | what would be my next step to get this working? | 22:13 |
| oerheks | firewire.. i guess you need to insert that interface, and then cold boot. | 22:15 |
| _SKiTZO | ok so it needs to be present at boot? | 22:15 |
| _SKiTZO | is there any software I should install? | 22:16 |
| oerheks | no? | 22:16 |
| _SKiTZO | :D Cool! tx will give it a go | 22:16 |
| _SKiTZO | brb rebooting | 22:16 |
| OvenWerks | _SKiTZO: what do you get for ls /dev/fw* | 22:16 |
| OvenWerks | missed... | 22:17 |
| wonko | He'll be back. Maybe. 😁 | 22:18 |
| oerheks | :-) | 22:23 |
| _SKiTZO | OvenWerks, | 22:24 |
| _SKiTZO | /dev/fw0 | 22:25 |
| OvenWerks | So the system sees your FW hub but not anything connected to it. | 22:25 |
| OvenWerks | I seem to have the same problem | 22:25 |
| OvenWerks | Because I have three new to me bits (box, cable and interface) I am not sure which one might be the problem | 22:26 |
| _SKiTZO | yes exactly. lshw reports the hub but nothing else | 22:26 |
| _SKiTZO | well I verified all 3 on windows machine | 22:27 |
| * OvenWerks has forgotten what a windows machine looks like... | 22:27 | |
| _SKiTZO | OvenWerks, I wish I had *sigh* | 22:28 |
| _SKiTZO | motu has 2 firewire inputs. I should try the other one | 22:28 |
| OvenWerks | They should be pass through. | 22:28 |
| _SKiTZO | holy shit ! | 22:29 |
| _SKiTZO | worked! xD Now suddenly traveller was detected | 22:29 |
| _SKiTZO | omg I want to cry | 22:29 |
| OvenWerks | No such luck here. | 22:29 |
| _SKiTZO | Let's hope it is not a one time thing. I will have to never reboot :P | 22:30 |
| _SKiTZO | And also will have to verify that it actually plays back sound | 22:31 |
| oerheks | oh nice | 22:31 |
| OvenWerks | Shows up as an alsa device? | 22:32 |
| OvenWerks | my understanding is that it shows up as an alsa device by default these days | 22:33 |
| _SKiTZO | yes. there is new /dev/fw1 but output of lshw has no mention | 22:34 |
| _SKiTZO | it shows up as alsa device | 22:34 |
| _SKiTZO | I am kind of impressed really | 22:34 |
| _SKiTZO | ok so alasmixer says "this card has no controls" | 22:44 |
| _SKiTZO | what does that mean? | 22:44 |
| _SKiTZO | how can I change settings for it? | 22:45 |
| OvenWerks | That was why I was trying to get a fw set up going so I could find out... does FFADO mixer work? | 22:46 |
| _SKiTZO | i dont even know what that is | 22:46 |
| OvenWerks | Audio production -> Mixers->FFADOmixer | 22:46 |
| OvenWerks | I don't know what it is supposed to do either | 22:47 |
| _SKiTZO | ok so I started ffado-mixer it opens gui with info "you are running this version of FFADO for the first time bla bla" | 22:47 |
| OvenWerks | I just get errors because it can't see my device | 22:48 |
| * OvenWerks should take his apart and see if something got shaken loose in shipping. | 22:49 | |
| _SKiTZO | the ffado-mixer interface faithfully represents the features of my traveller O-O i am completely flabergasted | 22:49 |
| OvenWerks | good | 22:50 |
| _SKiTZO | but still no sound output. At this stage that is probably because I don't understand the controls very well | 22:51 |
| _SKiTZO | the traveller is beautiful on the inside | 22:55 |
| _SKiTZO | well constructed and all gold plated everywhere | 22:55 |
