[12:59] Scusa il ritardo. Weekend impegnativo [13:00] !it | damy [13:00] damy: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [16:46] I'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? [18:01] AppImage? [18:02] shrapnel[m]: huh... I never heard of this. Thanks! [18:33] 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] any ideas what I'm doing wrong? [18:39] distantrelative[: have you tried right click execute? [19:37] OvenWerks: card 4: AudioFire4 [AudioFire4], device 0: Fireworks [AudioFire4 PCM] [19:37] using ALSA (the default) [19:38] I 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] But, should I switch to FFADO or stay with ALSA? [19:47] Oh, FFADO appears to be way better [19:47] It depends on what latency you want to use [19:48] If you are using 256/2 or above ALSA is ok. [19:49] but ffado seems much more stable and I have gone as low as 32/2 with no xruns overnight [19:50] well, seeing as I'm trying to reduce latency with no xruns, FFADO it is. :) [19:50] it doesn't show up in carla though [19:50] It does here. [19:50] oh wait [19:50] but not as system [19:50] nor in studio controls it seems [19:50] hmmm [19:51] it showed up under ALSA [19:51] you have to switch modules and then reboot [19:51] under system tweaks in controls [19:52] yes, I did. I switched to FFADO and rebooted [19:53] so it should be possible to change driver to firewire [19:53] you mean Jack backend? [19:53] yes [19:53] :) [19:54] ls /dev/fw* should show two devices [19:54] fw0 and fw1, yes [19:55] fw1 is the IF [19:55] wow, jack takes much longer to start now [19:55] hmm, and it just stopped for some reason [19:56] does the logfile say anything? [19:57] where are the jack logs? [19:57] ~/.log/autojack.log [19:58] and it needs to have log level "extra" for the most info. [19:59] also try stop jack, open ffado-mixer and make sure clock is set to internal [20:01] now 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] 15:01:45 logginghandler: Could not communicate with the FFADO DBus service... [20:02] yikes! [20:05] Ok, at this point I'm more interested in just verifying that the audiofire works. Maybe switch back to ALSA mode? [20:05] does your unit have any leds on the front? [20:05] yes [20:05] which ones are lit? [20:06] power, +48V and the line level for the mic (which blips when I make noise) [20:07] do you have the af2 or af4? [20:08] do you know if the spdif is input or output? (or both) [20:09] af4, spdif is both [20:09] rather there are two, one for in one for out [20:11] ffado-test Discover hangs, that's not normal, right? [20:12] ffado-test ListDevices returns: 0 0x0014866faf73b593 0x00001486 0x00000AF4 Echo Digital Audio - AudioFire4 [20:13] so it's there and can be found [20:13] There are a whole bunch of ffado-dbus-server processes. Is that normal? [20:16] rebooted and now ffado-mixer works. :) [20:17] clock is intrernal [20:17] internal [20:18] good [20:18] mine powers up on wordclock and I have to change it before it will work. [20:19] clock source can not be set with jack runninig (or pulse using it when in alsa mode) [20:20] ok, jack started up and seemed to start better from the logs [20:20] but still nothing in Carla [20:20] how about jack_lsp? [20:21] autjack.log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JkgdNfM2Pn/ [20:21] jack_lsp: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MgP588VffZ/ [20:24] I think you may have the bad version of Carla.... or something is different to 20.04 [20:25] the logfile looks correct. but the dbus stuff is not working [20:25] I have a feeling this is probably self inflicted [20:25] I'm going to re-install 20.04 [20:26] there have been other issues as well that I've mostly been ignoring [20:26] dbus is working between jack, pulse and autojack [20:27] no, sorry that is not a dbus thing. [20:27] it seems to be libjack calls [20:28] Also, this is an old version of studio-controls [20:29] So I expect: Old controls, maybe old jackdbus, and old Carla [20:29] All have known problems [20:30] you may fix some or all of these things by opening ubuntustudio-installer and enabling backports [20:30] and then sudo apt dist-upgrade [20:33] wonko: The problem with Carla sounds like what you have. Carla causes a problem and it affects all other jack clients from then on. [20:34] The backport version has two lines commented out :) [20:45] Ok, I'll try that before the reinstall [20:45] I'll report back [20:48] wonko: I also sometimes use the ocnnection window from qjackctl for making connections [20:49] I do also have a pre-alpha version of Catia hanging around. [20:55] I don't have ubuntustudio-installer? [20:55] under system? [20:55] or run from commandline? [20:56] zsh: command not found: ubuntustudio-installer [20:57] sudo apt install ubuntustudio-installer [20:57] it sounds like a bad install though as that is included in the iso [20:57] remember this is a munged system upgraded from 20.04 to 20.10 [20:58] ok, doing dist-upgrade with backports PPA enabled [20:58] should I reboot? [20:59] I don't know, but need to spend time with my wife (she lost an Uncle this morning) [20:59] Oh no! [20:59] that's terrible news [20:59] Go do that. Definitely. [21:01] hearts go out to you OvenWerks [21:01] wonko I haven't read this whole convo, but I'm getting qsynth and qjackctl errors after upgrading from ubuntu to ubuntu studio [21:02] does that sound similar to your issue(s)?
