[08:59] <mkdalm85> hi

[17:56] <Christoffer[m]> There!
[17:56] <Christoffer[m]>  * There! (Sorry, but managed to get in)
[17:59] <Eickmeyer[m]> Awesome, Christoffer ! Remember this is support, but you're welcome to chat in the Cafe as much as you want. :)
[21:12] <vertex_sound1> Hello to everyone! I'm want to reset audio in Ubuntu 18.04 to default and I'm instructed to do that with this line:  " sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2 " . But, Terminal tells me that there is no aptitude command, than I cannot use auto-apt, than after I tried apt-get tels me that it doesn't understands --purge. So, does anyone knows is it
[21:12] <vertex_sound1> better to do a --purge without reinstall and after that reinstall or to go with reinstall without --purge, or if there's some other better way to set audio stuff to default?
[21:14] <Eickmeyer[m]> vertex_sound1Are you using the backports PPA?
[21:14] <Eickmeyer[m]> !ubuntustudio-backports | vertex_sound1
[21:16] <vertex_sound1> Ok Eickmeyer and ubottu. I'll check that. Thank you!
[21:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> vertex_sound1: Obviously you don't have that added. Without that PPA, 18.04 ended life a year ago.
[21:18] <vertex_sound1> Unfortunately I am tied up just for 18.04 because of radeon graphics support ( or 16.04 ) in RadeonProRender.
[21:23] <vertex_sound1> I've messed up audio experimenting with pulseaudio, QjackCtrl, alsa in between , in attempt to get midi and audio together in Ardur. Now there's no sound at all, or audio devices on screen.
[21:31] <Eickmeyer[m]> vertex_sound1: radeon graphics is in the kernel, unless you have a very specific reason to have the PRO driver, you don't need it.
[21:33] <Eickmeyer[m]> What I'm saying is that unless you add that PPA, we cannot give you support. You need the ubuntustudio-controls in that PPA.
[21:33] <Eickmeyer[m]> vertex_sound1: ^
[21:35] <Eickmeyer[m]> vertex_sound1: As far as downgrading packages, I don't know why you'd do that. The packages don't store the configs, that's in your ~/.config directory.
[21:36] <vertex_sound1> Thank you. I understand. I need to fix that mess I've made first (I belive) in anyway, because I'm messed up probably some modules, and drivers of alsa.
[21:38] <vertex_sound1> Radeon provides that ProRender engine that suppose to work great.
[21:39] <vertex_sound1> Now it does not at all. It worked on Windows pretty good.
[21:40] <vertex_sound1> Radeon gives to Blender render engine radeon prorender RPR.
[21:42] <Eickmeyer[m]> Ubuntu is not Windows, and cannot be expected to operate like Winodws. Keep that in mind. As far as fixing your Alsa issue, I don't know, but add that PPA because our support of QJackCtl is depricated.
[21:43] <Eickmeyer[m]> QJackCtl itself is not depricated, but our support for it is, if that makes any sense.
[21:49] <vertex_sound1> Windows has it's own downs. In Ubuntu I got to learn how to work, which is general problem and couse of this situation. It's more complicated but if one knows what to do than is good. I'm learning now.
[21:52] <vertex_sound1> Thank you for support Eickmeyer I read about personal pack and it sounds smart. But first I need to solve this mess I've made.
[22:44] <RJcole45> I am in need of assistance. Trying to partition a disk and add Microsoft OS, having trouble doing that. Help please?
[22:44] <RJcole45> more specifically, the actual act of partitioning the disk is tripping me out
[22:44] <tomreyn> !dualboot
[22:45] <tomreyn> generally, the recommended approach is to install windows first, because it is more picky
[22:46] <tomreyn> also consider virtualization since dual-boot is really a wasp nest IMO
[22:46] <RJcole45> Gotcha, Yea I kinda went gunho and installed ubuntu, but that was 2 years ago. I'm needing windows now for software reasons.
[22:47] <RJcole45> thank you, where can i install that?
[22:48] <tomreyn> virtualiozation? on either OS. a commonly used free desktop virtualization is virtualbox, but there are other options
[22:49] <tomreyn> if you need fast graphics or have only minimal system resources then virtualization is not for you, though.
[22:49] <tomreyn> fast graphics on the gvirtualized system, that is
[22:49] <tomreyn> -g
[22:50] <RJcole45> Ty, no that wont be an issue, but I'll go ahead and try that and report back. Thank you!
[22:50] <tomreyn> you're welcome, good luck.
[22:51] <tomreyn> take a while to read up on virtualization, it#s a weird concept which one needs to get into first of all.
[22:51] <tomreyn> but it makes a lot of sense then ;)
[22:53] <RJcole45> I did study linux for a bit in college, and we did virtualization, but I'll study up and see what comes back to me. Thank you for the help (y) '=D
