[17:48] <corshmock> I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help me to install synaptics
[17:49] <corshmock> I've tried sudo update but it hasn't made any difference
[17:52] <corshmock> Hi Eickmeyer
[17:57] <OvenWerks> try synaptic without the s on the end?
[18:31] <corshmock> Thanks for spotting my silly mistake friend but unfortunately I get:
[18:31] <corshmock> sudo fwupdmgr get-devices
[18:31] <corshmock> Ignore that

[18:32] <corshmock> Is it fixable or should I reinstall again?
[18:40] <corshmock> I have actually managed to fix it with apt --fix-broken install
[18:41] <corshmock> I can install again!!!
[18:44] <corshmock> Synaptic is installed!!!
[18:45] <corshmock> Why do people not talk to me here?
[18:48] <brainskan> Hi. That's good news. 😁
[18:49] <brainskan> I'm trying to figure out this IRC client on my phone. It appears to be working.
[18:50] <corshmock> Thanks Pal.  That's interesting.  I had xchat client in 19.10, but on 18.04 I only have the web browser.
[18:51] <corshmock> It seems to be working from this end.  What's the client called?
[18:52] <brainskan> IRC Android. It's a bit quirky, and I haven't used IRC in years. But I wanted to get back into, and am a fan of Ubuntu Studio... so I thought I would start here.
[18:54] <brainskan> I think I will use Pidgin on my desktops at home (Ubuntu Studio) and at work (Windows)
[18:55] <brainskan> I would also like to get involved helping with Ubuntu Studio, if there is anything I can do.
[18:55] <corshmock> Pidgin Internet Messaging?  It's actually installed here.  Can you use it for IRC?
[18:56] <corshmock> You'll be sorry you made that offer to me mate.  I'm a Newbie :)
[18:56] <brainskan> Yes. Pidgin can act as an IRC client.
[18:57] <brainskan> One sec. I'm going to log in via desktop. It's way easier to type that way.
[18:59] <brainskan> I'm back. Signed in via Pidgin from my work desktop now. It's much quicker to type this way compared to phone touch screen.
[18:59] <corshmock1> Hello
[18:59] <corshmock1> Hey it's working
[18:59] <corshmock1> This is much better than the web version!  Thanks very much for this pal
[19:00] <brainskan> Did you log in with a different client too
[19:00] <brainskan> ?
[19:00] <brainskan> Sure! no problem.
[19:00] <corshmock1> I thought I had just used corshmock, but it told me corshmock1 is not a registered name.  Maybe I made a typo
[19:01] <corshmock1> There were two of me so I closed the web page
[19:01] <corshmock1> This is much much better
[19:02] <corshmock1> I cannot type on a phone for the life of me
[19:02] <brainskan> I don't think you can log in from more than one app at the same time. The IRC server will assign you a new name when you log in again without disconnecting from the prior app
[19:02] <corshmock1> Because I touch type, I'm lost when I have to look at a keyboard
[19:02] <brainskan> It changed my name when I tried.
[19:03] <corshmock1> That's what must have happened to me too
[19:03] <brainskan> Me too. I hate doing any lengthy chat via text on my phone. Short messages are OK, but nothing extended in time.
[19:03] <corshmock1> So you make music or videos or.......?
[19:04] <brainskan> I was just looking on the website for Ubuntu Studio, and I am not sure if this is the correct channel for casual talk. It looks like there's an "#ubuntustudio-offtopic" channel. To anyone else here, sorry if this is not the right kind of conversation for this channel.
[19:05] <brainskan> I do a variety of creative work, corshmock. I mostly tinker with experimental electronic music using Bitwig and SuperCollider. But I also like doing some graphics work in GIMP, and occasional put together small videos.
[19:06] <brainskan> I decided a couple years ago to flee the proprietary OS platforms and use Linux exclusively. Ubuntu Studio has been fantastic for the type of stuff I like to do.
[19:07] <brainskan> How about you, corshmock? What kind of creative stuff do you do?
[19:15] <corshmock1> I sing when I'm out of earshot, strum a few chords, write some dreadfully bad songs, nothing too serious nowadays.  I used to play bass years ago when I was you in bands.  My goal at the moment is quite simple brainskan.  I want to get my headphones working on my edirol ua-101, import songs and be able to practice finger drumming along with them on my akai drumming pads.
[19:16] <corshmock1> If I can get that working for the moment I'll be happy before I start making trouble for myself with technology again.
[19:16] <corshmock1> *when I was young
[19:16] <corshmock1> Musically I'm very simplistic in my ways.
[19:17] <corshmock1> But also I would love to make good quality videos too.
[19:17] <corshmock1> Put them up on youtube for a laugh.
[19:19] <brainskan> Are you having audio issues? I just messed up my laptop last night trying to fix not hearing any sound. I had to totally reinstall 19.10 from scratch. Fortunately, I didn't have much of anything on that laptop, but I still have to spend a bunch of time reinstalling software.
[19:19] <brainskan> Yeah, I just do music and art as a hobby these days. I'm a crusty old guy that has to work far to much.
[19:20] <brainskan> Have you tinkered at all with KDEnlive, the video editing app? I've done a few basic things with it. The learning curve is a bit steep, but not too impossible.
[19:21] <brainskan> That's what I have been using. It seems very powerful. I might look around for a more simple video editing app at some point.
[19:23] <brainskan> I have to run, get a few things done at the office before I head home. Hope you get your headphones working!
[20:44] <corshmock1> Has anyone else experienced Ubuntu Studio 18.04 running quite slowly?  I was on 19.10 and it flew along.  Maybe there are things I need to configure?
[21:21] <circuitbone> 18 ran well on my nuc celeron 4gig . upgraded to 19 yesterday. Nothing majorly different yet.
[21:34] <corshmock1> Welcome back brainskan
[21:34] <corshmock1> I haven't tinkered with anything as I've been trying to get this system working for a while.  I'm still not there because now I'm finding 18.04 a little sluggish
[22:13] <lastebill1> is there a reasonable functional autotune clone that you could recommend?
