[14:13] <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?
[14:14] <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

[14:19] <studiobot> <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> Yeah, Have you tried it?
[14:19] <studiobot> <designbybeck> greyed out
[14:19] <studiobot> <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> Ah.
[14:20] <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
[14:43] <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 ^
[14:45] <studiobot> <designbybeck> thanks @tom
[14:46] <studiobot> <designbybeck> I just did their commandline way and got connected that way for now
[14:56] <tomreyn> alright :)
[22:12] <_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
[22:13] <_SKiTZO> I am on stock Ubuntu 18.04
[22:13] <_SKiTZO> what would be my next step to get this working?
[22:15] <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?
[22:16] <_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*
[22:17] <OvenWerks> missed...
[22:18] <wonko> He'll be back. Maybe. 😁
[22:23] <oerheks> :-)
[22:24] <_SKiTZO> OvenWerks,
[22:25] <_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
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <_SKiTZO> well I verified all 3 on windows machine
[22:27]  * OvenWerks has forgotten what a windows machine looks like...
[22:28] <_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.
[22:29] <_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.
[22:30] <_SKiTZO> Let's hope it is not a one time thing. I will have to never reboot :P
[22:31] <_SKiTZO> And also will have to verify that it actually plays back sound
[22:31] <oerheks> oh nice
[22:32] <OvenWerks> Shows up as an alsa device?
[22:33] <OvenWerks> my understanding is that it shows up as an alsa device by default these days
[22:34] <_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
[22:44] <_SKiTZO> ok so alasmixer says "this card has no controls"
[22:44] <_SKiTZO> what does that mean?
[22:45] <_SKiTZO> how can I change settings for it?
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <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"
[22:48] <OvenWerks> I just get errors because it can't see my device
[22:49]  * 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
[22:50] <OvenWerks> good
[22:51] <_SKiTZO> but still no sound output. At this stage that is probably because I don't understand the controls very well
[22:55] <_SKiTZO> the traveller is beautiful on the inside
[22:55] <_SKiTZO> well constructed and all gold plated everywhere
