[20:36] <AppAraat[m]> hi, I'm trying to get audio on my external USB interface working using ubuntustudio-controls, but so far I can't get it to work. Regular qjackctl is off (GUI of it is still open though for monitoring connections)
[20:37] <AppAraat[m]> also, I remember someone posting a link to the general Ubuntu Studio system config (that can get applied on a vanilla Ubuntu) but I think I lost the link. It was on Launchpad I believe. Can anyone please provide it again?
[20:37] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-controls | AppAraat[m]
[20:37] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-installer | AppAraat[m]
[20:37] <OvenWerks> ubuntustudio-installer will add studio on top of another flavlour
[20:38] <OvenWerks> AppAraat[m]: does your SUB inteface show up in the: USB device that should be mnaster" dropdown?
[20:39] <AppAraat[m]> thx, but I believe that config contained stuff to put in /etc/ among other places
[20:39] <AppAraat[m]> oh damnit, brb sorry
[20:39] <Eickmeyer> Uhhh... Controls does that for you.
[20:39] <OvenWerks> ubuntustudio-controls will do that if the rt warning comes up.
[21:11] <AppAraat[m]> back. Gah, I'm afraid the USB audio interface situation has to wait.
[21:11] <AppAraat[m]> I'm aware of the UbuntuStudio Installer, but I remember here seeing a place where bare /etc/ config files were hosted. Someone told me that on a very basic level, you could apply those config files on a vanilla Ubuntu in order to get the necessary audio config needed.
[21:11] <AppAraat[m]> I was just interested in checking out those config files to learn more
[21:12] <OvenWerks> AppAraat[m]: they are in more than one package.
[21:13] <AppAraat[m]> I'm referring to system-wide configs though, are those also inside multiple packages?
[21:14] <OvenWerks> first the user needs to be in the audio group and there is a file /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf
[21:14] <OvenWerks> these first steps are done by ubuntustudio-controls
[21:15] <OvenWerks> I think the rest are a part of ubuntustudio-performance-tweaks
[21:15] <OvenWerks> which can be installed via ubuntustudio-installer
[21:16] <OvenWerks> (or atp)
[21:16] <OvenWerks> *apt maybe?  (fingers are not doing what I want)
[21:17] <AppAraat[m]> I remember seeing some JACK and ALSA configs there as well.
[21:17] <AppAraat[m]> It kinda sucks that Riot.im is unable to search messages by username, otherwise I could just search on my own username and find it easily here.
[21:18] <OvenWerks> now /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf _should_ get installed by the instalation of Jackd2, but many sw installers don't do this right.
[21:19] <OvenWerks> what is not installed by any package is the rtirq package because it should be set up differently depending on the audio device in use
[21:20] <AppAraat[m]> ooh found it! https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-default-settings/tree/
[21:20] <OvenWerks> That package has been split
[21:21] <AppAraat[m]> oh
[21:21] <Eickmeyer> OvenWerks: It's still the source package for performance tweaks.
[21:21] <OvenWerks> Actually if you look inside the debian directory
[21:21] <AppAraat[m]> what's the reasoning behind the split?
[21:22] <OvenWerks> you will find that the source you are looking at does provide performance tweaks and the grub settings
[21:22] <OvenWerks> because some of the default settings are specific to xfce
[21:22] <OvenWerks> You are looking at the right file
[21:24] <OvenWerks> To be honest, I don't know if the timer setting access is even needed anymore... there may be some applications that still use though
[21:25] <OvenWerks> swappiness 10 is still reasonable though
[21:26] <AppAraat[m]> across what packages has that package been split btw?
[21:27] <OvenWerks> ubuntustudio-default-settings, ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings and ubuntustudio-performance-tweaks
[21:28] <AppAraat[m]> thanks a lot, I'll take a look at all of those packages later on
[21:28] <OvenWerks> The lowlatency settings just tweaks grub so that at boot up if you have both a generic and lowlatency, the low latency will be default
[21:28] <OvenWerks> (even if the generic was installed last)
[21:29] <OvenWerks> -default-settings will be xfce desktop settings and performance-tweaks is for audio setup.
