OvenWerksOk, that was frustrating. In plasma, what do I set so that when I plug a PTP/MTP device in it shows up in the file manager?00:46
OvenWerksI can go to settings and set up all kinds of things about my camera. Removable deviced should be mounted... but while I can put the sd card into a reader and see it... it doesn't see the camera when I plug it in.00:47
OvenWerksConsidering all the trouble Kubuntu goes to to be artist friendly and all the stuff it has for detecting my camera (it can even see it's serial number) I am surprised it is not more obvious00:49
* OvenWerks son needed pictures transfered to the computer for homework.00:49
OvenWerksLooks like I can teather it easy enough though00:50
OvenWerksActually I don't want automount so much as autodetect.00:54
EickmeyerOvenWerks: Strange, I've never had an issue. Perhaps try a card reader?01:32
OvenWerksYa the card reader works... but with thunar the camera just shows up as a mountable device... well it did in 18.0401:33
EickmeyerRapid Photo Downloader is amazing, btw.01:34
EickmeyerYou might also try Digikam.01:34
OvenWerksSomething I need to learn then01:35
EickmeyerRikMills: Any idea if there's something we can do in our config for PTP/MTP devices?01:35
EickmeyerRapid Photo Downloader hardly takes any know-how.01:35
OvenWerksNot worried about that, just used to opening the file manager and copy/paste or cut/paste01:36
OvenWerksSeems odd I would have to use something else01:36
OvenWerksSort of like I have a 16oz hammer in my hand, but for silver nails I have to set it down and pick up the 18 oz hammer01:37
EickmeyerI mean, that surprises me. I've never had a problem when plugging-in my camera or my son's camera.01:38
EickmeyerWe might have to install mtp-tools by default.01:39
EickmeyerOvenWerks: Try installing mtp-tools.01:39
EickmeyerOr go-mtpfs01:39
OvenWerksWhich one?01:40
Eickmeyergo-mtpfs might already be installed.01:40
EickmeyerTry mtp-tools.01:40
OvenWerksripid-photo dl works ok... so how does one delete the copy on the camera then?01:46
EickmeyerThere should be an option to auto-delete upon download. If not, then erase all images from the camera?01:46
OvenWerksclear completed downloads01:47
EickmeyerOvenWerks: Hamburger menu (three lines), .... ^ Yeah, that.01:47
EickmeyerRPD is nice because it does a bunch simultaneously as opposed to a file manager which does one at a time, hence rapid.01:48
OvenWerksYa01:49
OvenWerksin dolphin get an editable address and put in camera:/01:51
OvenWerksThe clear did not work... the pictures are still there :)01:51
OvenWerksOK dolphin deleted my pictures. I was able to add a Camera to places on the sidebar. Clicking on that does go to the camera (well actually it opens a screen with a list of cameras) it does seem to show my camera twice for some reason, with both seeming to go to the same place.01:56
OvenWerksNow I unplug the camera and one of the camera folders remains01:57
EickmeyerSo, the sidebar is nothing but bookmarks, not like the traditional "places" of old.02:03
Eickmeyer(this is for my beneift, just looking something up, ignore this: bug 1437180)02:04
ubottubug 1437180 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Desktop Icons show on the install only desktop" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143718002:04
EickmeyerOk, that's what that was for. (cleaning the dvd-live seed)02:06
studiobot<Eickmeyer> @teward001 It looks like you've had some more urgent, pressing matters, but materia-kde is still a thing: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/materia-kde/+git/materia-kde16:57
OvenWerksEickmeyer[m]: pulse does provide network out (and in). I did not know that was winders compatable but I am not surprised.18:19
EickmeyerYeah, but that's not something easily set-up, and I have reason to believe his issues are somewhere in that setup.18:20
OvenWerksI do not doubt that at all.18:20
OvenWerksThough if they use -controls at all it restarts pulseaudio when jack gets turned off which might unload the net module.18:21
OvenWerksanother odd bit of info... a new install, start jack with controls right away and the user will need to turn up/unmute the audio card manually. Normally Pulse would do this for the user when the first appliaction connects and requests audio out...18:24
OvenWerksI am not sure if this is true in all cases but it was yesterday18:25
EickmeyerInteresting. I wonder if alsa has introduced some odd defaults.18:27
OvenWerksEickmeyer[m]: with my ice1712 it always has been -inf levels on all the analog signals and I have to remember to set them with every new install. Pulse does not know which ports are the actual outputs :)18:29
OvenWerksOn the first logout all alsa settings are saved so next boot/login is fine18:30
OvenWerksWhat I would really like is an alsa backend for jack that has level control that can be set by level keys and the audio applet in the tray18:31
OvenWerksWhat pulse does for these things is really quite good (except for input levels on cards with boost)18:32
OvenWerksHowever, I suspect pipewire will get done before I get so far as making such a thing18:33
* OvenWerks is fixing bugs in Ardour foldback GUI18:33
RikMillsgetting ready to upload new plasma bugfix release ;)21:18
EickmeyerRikMills: To Groovy, I assume?21:41
RikMillsfor starters21:51
RikMillsI'll SRU the packages with bugfix changes for focal, but that is by the by for studio21:52
EickmeyerRight.21:52
