sirriffsalotI'm running Ubuntu Studio 19.10, and I still have some things I'd like to finish off here before I move to 20.04 permanently. I can't install new programs anymore as it's no longer supported, how do I get around this for the moment?16:46
shrapnel[m]<sirriffsalot "I'm running Ubuntu Studio 19.10,"> AppImage?18:01
sirriffsalotshrapnel[m]: huh... I never heard of this. Thanks!18:02
distantrelative[having trouble installing ubuntu studio 20.04 - i select install but it goes to graphic desktop. I then click the install Ubuntu studio link on the desktop then nothing.18:33
distantrelative[any ideas what I'm doing wrong?18:33
OvenWerksdistantrelative[: have you tried right click execute?18:39
wonkoOvenWerks: card 4: AudioFire4 [AudioFire4], device 0: Fireworks [AudioFire4 PCM]19:37
wonkousing ALSA (the default)19:37
wonkoI can't choose it as the master device in studio controls and it doesn't show up in.... nevermind I think pulseaudio is busted.19:38
wonkoBut, should I switch to FFADO or stay with ALSA?19:38
wonkoOh, FFADO appears to be way better19:47
OvenWerksIt depends on what latency you want to use19:47
OvenWerksIf you are using 256/2 or above ALSA is ok.19:48
OvenWerksbut ffado seems much more stable and I have gone as low as 32/2 with no xruns overnight19:49
wonkowell, seeing as I'm trying to reduce latency with no xruns, FFADO it is. :)19:50
wonkoit doesn't show up in carla though19:50
OvenWerksIt does here.19:50
wonkooh wait19:50
OvenWerksbut not as system19:50
wonkonor in studio controls it seems19:50
wonkohmmm19:50
wonkoit showed up under ALSA19:51
OvenWerksyou have to switch modules and then reboot19:51
OvenWerksunder system tweaks in controls19:51
wonkoyes, I did. I switched to FFADO and rebooted19:52
OvenWerksso it should be possible to change driver to firewire19:53
wonkoyou mean Jack backend?19:53
OvenWerksyes19:53
OvenWerks :)19:53
OvenWerksls /dev/fw* should show two devices19:54
wonkofw0 and fw1, yes19:54
OvenWerksfw1 is the IF19:55
wonkowow, jack takes much longer to start now19:55
wonkohmm, and it just stopped for some reason19:55
OvenWerksdoes the logfile say anything?19:56
wonkowhere are the jack logs?19:57
OvenWerks~/.log/autojack.log19:57
OvenWerksand it needs to have log level "extra" for the most info.19:58
OvenWerksalso try stop jack, open ffado-mixer and make sure clock is set to internal19:59
wonkonow studio controls won't stop jack. I think I need to re-install 20.04 or do a clean install of 20.10. I think things are kinda boned here now after that unsupported upgrade. :(20:01
wonko15:01:45 logginghandler: Could not communicate with the FFADO DBus service...20:01
OvenWerksyikes!20:02
wonkoOk, at this point I'm more interested in just verifying that the audiofire works. Maybe switch back to ALSA mode?20:05
OvenWerksdoes your unit have any leds on the front?20:05
wonkoyes20:05
OvenWerkswhich ones are lit?20:05
wonkopower, +48V and the line level for the mic (which blips when I make noise)20:06
OvenWerksdo you have the af2 or af4?20:07
OvenWerksdo you know if the spdif is input or output? (or both)20:08
wonkoaf4, spdif is both20:09
wonkorather there are two, one for in one for out20:09
wonkoffado-test Discover hangs, that's not normal, right?20:11
wonkoffado-test ListDevices returns: 0       0x0014866faf73b593  0x00001486  0x00000AF4   Echo Digital Audio - AudioFire420:12
wonkoso it's there and can be found20:13
wonkoThere are a whole bunch of ffado-dbus-server processes. Is that normal?20:13
wonkorebooted and now ffado-mixer works. :)20:16
wonkoclock is intrernal20:17
wonkointernal20:17
OvenWerksgood20:18
OvenWerksmine powers up on wordclock and I have to change it before it will work.20:18
OvenWerksclock source can not be set with jack runninig (or pulse using it when in alsa mode)20:19
wonkook, jack started up and seemed to start better from the logs20:20
wonkobut still nothing in Carla20:20
OvenWerkshow about jack_lsp?20:20
wonkoautjack.log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JkgdNfM2Pn/20:21
wonkojack_lsp: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MgP588VffZ/20:21
OvenWerksI think you may have the bad version of Carla.... or something is different to 20.0420:24
OvenWerksthe logfile looks correct. but the dbus stuff is not working20:25
wonkoI have a feeling this is probably self inflicted20:25
wonkoI'm going to re-install 20.0420:25
wonkothere have been other issues as well that I've mostly been ignoring20:26
OvenWerksdbus is working between jack, pulse and autojack20:26
OvenWerksno, sorry that is not a dbus thing.20:27
OvenWerksit seems to be libjack calls20:27
OvenWerksAlso, this is an old version of studio-controls20:28
OvenWerksSo I expect: Old controls, maybe old jackdbus, and old Carla20:29
OvenWerksAll have known problems20:29
OvenWerksyou may fix some or all of these things by opening ubuntustudio-installer and enabling backports20:30
OvenWerksand then sudo apt dist-upgrade20:30
OvenWerkswonko: The problem with Carla sounds like what you have. Carla causes a problem and it affects all other jack clients from then on.20:33
OvenWerksThe backport version has two lines commented out :)20:34
wonkoOk, I'll try that before the reinstall20:45
wonkoI'll report back20:45
OvenWerkswonko: I also sometimes use the ocnnection window from qjackctl for making connections20:48
OvenWerksI do also have a pre-alpha version of Catia hanging around.20:49
wonkoI don't have ubuntustudio-installer?20:55
OvenWerksunder system?20:55
OvenWerksor run from commandline?20:55
wonkozsh: command not found: ubuntustudio-installer20:56
OvenWerkssudo apt install ubuntustudio-installer20:57
OvenWerksit sounds like a bad install though as that is included in the iso20:57
wonkoremember this is a munged system upgraded from 20.04 to 20.1020:57
wonkook, doing dist-upgrade with backports PPA enabled20:58
wonkoshould I reboot?20:58
OvenWerksI don't know, but need to spend time with my wife (she lost an Uncle this morning)20:59
wonkoOh no!20:59
wonkothat's terrible news20:59
wonkoGo do that. Definitely.20:59
MaynardWatershearts go out to you OvenWerks21:01
MaynardWaterswonko I haven't read this whole convo, but I'm getting qsynth and qjackctl errors after upgrading from ubuntu to ubuntu studio21:01
MaynardWatersdoes that sound similar to your issue(s)?21:02
