[00:00] <oski146> just doing his thoughts
[00:00] <Eickmeyer[m]> Oh, ok. Well, then that's very tricky and much more difficult. Ubuntu Studio uses the KDE Plasma desktop now, not Xfce like Xubuntu, so I hope he knows that.
[00:00] <Eickmeyer[m]> Hasn't used Xfce for nearly 2 years.
[00:00] <oski146> i know how to do the dualboot but i dk how to format  to gpt
[00:01] <Eickmeyer[m]> Which live ISO are you using first? Xubuntu or Ubuntu Studio?
[00:02] <oski146> ubuntu studio
[00:02] <oski146> can i use gparted?
[00:02] <oski146> from livesystem?
[00:02] <Eickmeyer[m]> Ok, then when you boot it, open Partition Manager. Create a Partition Table, select GPT.
[00:02] <Eickmeyer[m]> We don't have GPT on the live system.
[00:02] <oski146> ok thanks
[00:02] <Eickmeyer[m]> er... Gparted.
[00:02] <Eickmeyer[m]> We have KDE Partition Manager.
[00:03] <oski146> ok that will do the same
[00:03] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yes. It's very robust.
[00:03] <oski146> i like both
[00:03] <oski146> thanks for helping
[00:04] <oski146> since when is ubuntu  studio kde?
[00:06] <Eickmeyer[m]> Since version 20.104
[00:06] <Eickmeyer[m]> er... 20.10
[00:06] <oski146> ok didnt know that 
[00:06] <Eickmeyer[m]> It's all over the website, was announced on Twitter, Facebook, picked up on the news, etc.
[00:06] <oski146> idont use facebook. but twitter i wui
[00:07] <oski146> willl read the  announcements
[01:36] <oski146> hello
[01:37] <oski146> i wanted to ask if someone can help me to fnd out, if my soundcard is detected so i can us it
[04:07] <Eickmeyer[m]> !morehelp | oski146 
[13:57] <oski146> hello can someone help me? i want to login automatic and i need to know if i can add a dock to ubuntu studio
[14:04] <oski146> and i want to know why the release upgrader core got an update... is there anything coming?
[14:31] <Eickmeyer[m]> oski146: I've seen you in the Kubuntu support. Ubuntu Studio uses the exact same KDE Plasma packages as Kubuntu, so yes, you can do whatever you want. As for the release upgrader, we have no control over that.
[14:32] <Eickmeyer[m]> Ubuntu Studio (and Kubuntu) are just different configurations of Ubuntu and are Ubuntu, not separate distributions.
[14:32] <oerheks> next week point release, 22.04.1
[14:32] <Eickmeyer[m]> Exactly.
[14:32] <Eickmeyer[m]> And, just so you know, this channel contains a lot fewer people that will answer you, so
[14:32] <Eickmeyer[m]> !morehelp
[14:33] <Eickmeyer[m]> We simply cannot guide you through everything and every scenario in here.
[14:36] <Eickmeyer[m]> oerheks: Thanks
[14:36]  * Eickmeyer[m] needs more coffee
[14:36] <oerheks> yw, it is the only conclusion to make about that update.
[17:58] <oski146> hello is there someone that can give me advice how to install german translation for rakarrack
[18:29] <tsenko> Iamthehuman1: nothing's happening 
[19:47] <Eickmeyer> tsenko: Do you have a support question?
[19:49] <tsenko> sorry .. wrong buffer
[19:50] <Eickmeyer> ok :)
[19:51] <oski146> hello
[19:56] <Eickmeyer[m]> Hi oski146 ! I'm here, but I'm working my dayjob.
[20:04] <oski146> okay
[20:06] <Eickmeyer[m]> oski146: Just doing some searching, looking at a 12-year-old forum post, I'm not sure rackarrack has locallization support at all. There's a feature request still opened to this day: https://sourceforge.net/p/rakarrack/feature-requests/4/?css-reload=1
[20:06] <oski146> thanks ill look into it
[20:07] <oski146> but 12 year old  is a long time
[20:07] <Eickmeyer[m]> No problem. They might have a chat somewhere.
[20:07] <oski146> i will search for it
[20:08] <oski146> what is freenode irc?
[20:08] <Eickmeyer[m]> To be fair, the project hasn't had a release since 2015, so it might be dead.
[20:08] <Eickmeyer[m]> Freenode, for all intents and purposes, is dead too.
[20:09] <oski146> ok then iam all alone with this iam using it in english then
[20:09] <Eickmeyer[m]> You might be better off using guitarix instead.
[20:09] <oski146> yeah i wanted to..
[20:09] <Eickmeyer[m]> https://guitarix.org/
[20:10] <Eickmeyer[m]> The guys in #opensourcemusicians (many of whom use Ubuntu Studio) might have a ton of suggestions as well.
[20:10] <oski146> but jack connection to my guitar and headphones over my audio interface not possible because there are 16 outputs in total and just 2 inputs
[20:11] <Eickmeyer[m]> Oh wow.
[20:11] <oski146> yeah idk what to use bcause of same name
[20:11] <Eickmeyer[m]> I'd recommend a Behringer UMC202.
[20:11] <oski146> i have a behringer ucg102 
[20:11] <Eickmeyer[m]> Actually, how many inputs do you need?
[20:12] <oski146> the interface has just 1 guitar input and a headphones output
[20:12] <oski146> its just for  home recordingso i  dont need a expensive  one
[20:12] <Eickmeyer[m]> Oh, so the ucg102 might actually be what you need.
[20:12] <oski146> i have :)
[20:13] <Eickmeyer[m]> Perfect. It should work. I've never had a problem with Behringer equipment on my systems.
[20:13] <oski146> the interface is  functioning
[20:13] <Eickmeyer[m]> I have a UMC202, a UMC404HD, and an X-Touch controller. All work flawlessly.
[20:13] <oski146> but dont know how to connect  to jack because off the mass of outpiuts
[20:14] <oski146> @eickmeyer nice  :)
[20:14] <Eickmeyer[m]> Oh, that's easy. Open up Studio Controls, and you should see everything there you need to get Jack running.
[20:14] <oski146> ok ill do
[20:15] <Eickmeyer[m]> Once that's running, click "Open Carla" and it'll open the Carla application, which is like a plugin rack and patchbay. Go to the patchbay tab and you'll see your inputs and outputs.
[20:17] <oski146> one moment please
[20:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> Oh, take your time.
[20:19] <oski146> carla opended
[20:20] <oski146> theres nothing on patchbay tab
[20:20] <Eickmeyer[m]> In the lower left, does it look like there's a square and some things in it?
[20:21] <Eickmeyer[m]> You might have to move that square over some stuff.
[20:21] <oski146> a square in a square
[20:21] <Eickmeyer[m]> If it's completely empty, then Jack isn't running.
[20:22] <oski146> now i see something
[20:22] <oski146> but just in the small square
[20:23] <oski146> ah iam dumb
[20:23] <Eickmeyer[m]> Let me show you my window.
[20:23] <oski146> i have forgot to move to patchbay tab now i see something
[20:23]  * Eickmeyer[m] uploaded an image: (328KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/WrEHvitDVhWrialOmLWkAgVh/image.png >
[20:23] <Eickmeyer[m]> You can drag a line from an output to an input.
[20:24] <oski146> ok that easy i think :)
[20:24] <oski146> but idk if iam using capture 1 or 2
[20:24] <Eickmeyer[m]> Just trial/error until you figure it out.
[20:24] <oski146> and i have 8 playback channels
[20:24] <oski146> ook ill do
[20:25] <Eickmeyer[m]> AND, you can output to multiple at once.
[20:25] <oski146> ok .. and how to test then?
[20:25] <oski146> cant use the keyboard on the lower
[20:25] <Eickmeyer[m]> Do you have anything connected to your physical input?
[20:26] <oski146> my guitar
[20:26] <oski146> anfd
[20:26] <oski146> headphones
[20:26] <Eickmeyer[m]> Then that's how you'll test.
[20:26] <oski146> ok thanks
[20:27] <Eickmeyer[m]> Glad to help. :)
[20:27] <oski146> is midi in and out used?
[20:27] <Eickmeyer[m]> Not unless you have a midi controller or instrument to use.
[20:28] <oski146> ok then i must use midi i think for the guitar
[20:29] <Eickmeyer[m]> Likely not. 
[20:29] <oski146> i connected all but no sound at all
[20:29] <Eickmeyer[m]> Guitar is not a digital instrument. MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and is used for stuff like keyboards that use that kind of interface.
[20:29] <oski146> ah ok
[20:29] <Eickmeyer[m]> Hmmmm....
[20:30] <Eickmeyer[m]> Open up qasmixer and make sure your inputs and outputs on the mixer are all up and unmuted.
[20:30] <oski146> opened
[20:31] <Eickmeyer[m]> Also check for any hardware volume controls or gains on the interface and make sure they're up.
[20:32] <oski146> all checked
[20:32] <Eickmeyer[m]> Hmmm... yeah, this is tricky without actually being there and seeing what you're seeing.
[20:32] <Eickmeyer[m]> And I have my dayjob calling me back.
[20:33] <oski146> ok bad... i will see in alsa mixer if somethingsm uted
[20:35] <Eickmeyer[m]> That's most likely it. Check everything under the hw section.
[20:38] <oski146> oko
[20:45] <oski146> how to send picture here
[20:46] <oski146_> now iam online again
[20:49] <Eickmeyer[m]> oski146_: To send a picture, you can upload to imgur.com and link it here.
[20:50] <oski146_> https://imgur.com/a/czL6bie
[20:51] <Eickmeyer[m]> Ok, so pulse is simply your desktop audio, so there's no wonder you're not getting your guitar. Try the other one.
[20:51] <oski146_> ok i will try
[20:54] <oski146_> when i connect the others with system output i get  asound like SHHHHHHHHH
[20:54] <oski146_> really lod my ears
[20:54] <oski146_> and guitar done nothing
[20:54] <Eickmeyer[m]> Something might be turned-up too high and feeding back.
[20:54] <oski146_> ok
[20:54] <Eickmeyer[m]> That might be a microphone and not your guitar.
[20:55] <oski146_> can i reset carla
[20:55] <oski146_> oh okay
[20:55] <Eickmeyer[m]> Well, that won't do anything. Just right-click on the outputs and disconnect everything.
[20:56] <Eickmeyer[m]> ONly connect system capture to system playback and see what happens.
[20:56] <oski146_> ok
[20:57] <oski146_> when i do this i only hea the guitar on the left output of headphones but i think thats becuse guitar input is mono
[20:58] <Eickmeyer[m]> Then connect capture_12 to both Playback_1 and Playback_2.
[20:58] <Eickmeyer[m]> sorry, capture 1 and 2
[20:58] <Eickmeyer[m]> sorry, forget what I wrote.
[20:58] <oski146_> i did
[20:58] <Eickmeyer[m]> Connect capture 1 to both playback 1 and 2.
[20:58] <oski146_> hearing on the left headphone only
[20:59] <oski146_> ok
[20:59] <oski146_> wait
[20:59] <Eickmeyer[m]> (Jack can convert a mono signal to stereo that way)
[21:00] <oski146_> how
[21:00] <Eickmeyer[m]> By connecting 1 input to 2 outputs with two virtual wires.
[21:00] <Eickmeyer[m]> Just drag a second wire.
[21:00] <oski146_> yeah its happening. but the pulse things now deleted and i dont rememeber
[21:01] <Eickmeyer[m]> You right-clicked and clicked disconnect probably.
[21:01] <oski146_> yes all of them
[21:01] <Eickmeyer[m]> The inputs and outputs are still there.
[21:01] <Eickmeyer[m]> You can still drag the virtual wires to your outputs.
[21:02] <oski146_> ok system to pulse in and then to pulse out?
[21:03] <oski146_> or to my soundcard then?
[21:03] <Eickmeyer[m]> PulseOut to your soundcard if you want system audio.
[21:03]  * Eickmeyer[m] uploaded a video: (150KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/OZmYyVEWGXBscSioPpYzpQeX/Screencast%20from%2007-26-2022%2002%3A02%3A46%20PM.webm >
[21:04] <Eickmeyer[m]> (that's a demonstration)
[21:04] <oski146_> ok now i got it
[21:05] <Eickmeyer[m]> Cool
[21:05] <oski146_> i send pic here
[21:06] <oski146_> https://imgur.com/AeSJrMr
[21:07] <Eickmeyer[m]> You probably don't want to connect pulse in directly to pulse out. That can cause feedback and echo when using video conferencing like google meet, skype, etc.
[21:08] <Eickmeyer[m]> Other than that, that looks good.
[21:08] <oski146_> ok then what to do? connect pulse in directly to intel out
[21:08] <Eickmeyer[m]> And you'll get the hang of it from there. Experiement, and you'll figure out what is what. System is always your jack master device in Studio Controls.
[21:08] <Eickmeyer[m]> You've already got pulse_out connected to Intel Out.
[21:08] <oski146_> ok nice :) i slightly got it how it works
[21:09] <oski146_> @eickmeyer[m] ok
[21:09] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yeah. This was just to get you started. As you keep going and you have fun, the possibilities get endless.
[21:09] <Eickmeyer[m]> Don't be afraid of experimenting.
[21:09] <oski146_> thanks :)
[21:09] <Eickmeyer[m]> And feel free to go to #opensourcemusicians to discuss things, they're very friendly.
[21:10] <oski146_> thank you ill go thee
[21:10] <oski146_> there*
[21:10] <Eickmeyer[m]> Glad to help, and glad to get you started.
[21:10] <oski146_> :)
[21:11] <oski146_> in ardour channel they say not to use jack
[21:11] <oski146_> no  external prgrams
[21:12] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yeah, that's true, if you're only needing to use ardour. I use Ardour and its downstream Harrison Mixbus in live environments, so I need Jack to connect to pulse audio for music playback via spotify and what-not.
[21:13] <oski146_> i just set this pc up for a friend, that he can use it. because hes not that pc firedly as me
[21:13] <oski146_> pc friendly
[21:13] <Eickmeyer[m]> Well, now you can teach him. :)
[21:13] <oski146_> yeah i will do :)
[21:13] <oski146_> thanks anyways :)
[21:14] <Eickmeyer[m]> Quite welcome. :)
[21:17] <oski146_> when hes connecting a mic i now know what to do
[21:22] <oski146_> last question to this topic is how to save configuration of carla
[21:22] <oski146_> it all away when i restart jack and carla
[21:45] <Eickmeyer[m]> oski146: You don't have to save Carla's configuration, but a good session manager is agordejo, and another one is raysession, available in the repositories.
[21:45] <Eickmeyer[m]> Another tip, you might want to enable the backports ppa.
[21:45] <Eickmeyer[m]> !ubuntustudio-backports
[21:46] <oski146> ok :)
[21:46] <oski146> thanks
[21:46] <Eickmeyer[m]> You're quite welcome.
[21:48] <oski146> on the link there are just 20.10 maximum supported for backports
[21:49] <oski146> i will try anywys :)
[21:50] <Eickmeyer[m]> oski146: That's because I haven't updated that wiki in forever.
[21:52] <oski146> okay
[21:52] <oski146> and i will try ubuntu studio installer on my notebook,that i can jam too.. just typing in terminal sudo apt install ubuntustudio-installer right?
[21:53] <oski146> its only kubuntu on there
[21:53] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yep, and then run it. It'll install an icon called Ubuntu Studio Installer somewhere in your launcher.
[21:53] <oski146> okay
[21:54] <Eickmeyer[m]> It'll give you a selection of what to install from Ubuntu Studio, and you can go from there.
[21:54] <oski146> should i install realtime
[21:55] <oski146> on notebook i dont use jack
[21:59] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yeah, enable realtime.
[21:59] <Eickmeyer[m]> cant hurt
[22:00] <oski146> ok now the ubuntu studio installer installed jack but nothing more
[22:00] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yeah, did you run it?
[22:00] <oski146> yes
[22:00] <oski146> ok wait
[22:00] <Eickmeyer[m]> It should've given you a window.
[22:01] <oski146> yes
[22:01] <Eickmeyer[m]> You can select the components in the pane on the left of the window.
[22:01] <oski146> okay
[22:02] <oski146> should i install lowlatency? and enable backports ppa?
[22:02] <Eickmeyer[m]> I'd enable backports, but lowlatency is up to you if you plan on doing anything with audio or audio hardware.
[22:03] <oski146> ok 
[22:05] <oski146> and kernel change is holding shift on bootup
[22:08] <oski146> the installer crashed now 2 times with message "authorization failed"
[22:22] <Eickmeyer[m]> That happens if you forget to enter the password in the window that pops up (maybe behind).
[22:33] <oski146> oh but all got installed
[22:34] <oski146> so all what i need is installed, can you giveme advice on how to get the plasma design and global design forstudi?
[22:34] <oski146> looks better than normal kubuntu
[22:41] <Eickmeyer[m]> Well, that's the funny part. We're just using KDE's breeze (same as Kubuntu) with a modified color scheme, plus the Papirus icon theme.
[22:41] <Eickmeyer[m]> You can install ubuntustudio-look if you want those.
[22:43] <oski146> ok thanks
[22:45] <oski146> hehe thought it would be another  :D
[22:47] <oski146> it seems like not installed. cant find it in global designs
[22:49] <oski146> ah found it thanks
