#ubuntustudio 2010-01-06 <dag_> hi & happy new year, i work music for a show and i search some samples sounds. do you know some adresses? thanks <RubbberDucky> Hey guys, ubuntu noob here wondering about audio interface support. Ive got a presonus firestudio mobile and Ive got no idea if there are drivers for it or if it will work at all with ubuntu. <marc__> hi, got the following problem: after a new install i can log in but only see the ubuntustudio background after gnome started. the mouse moves but panel is missing an right click is not working. <marc__> the screen resolution is too high but i dont know if that causes the problem and also how to change that <marc__> sorry, i mean too low <holstein> w0w <holstein> that sucks <holstein> have you gone through any of the recovery stuff <holstein> i forget what that looks like right now <holstein> but theres all kinds of options from the recovery console in grub <holstein> ALSO, have you tried an ubuntu live CD on that hardware? * holstein is wondering how well the graphics card is supported <marc__> i installed fluxbox and started gnome-display-properties. cannot put resolution higher than 800x600 <holstein> hmmm <holstein> what card is it? <marc__> lspci says nvidia geforce 7050 pv <marc__> i got it working on my laptop, but my parents pc is giving me trouble <holstein> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-kernel-common/+bug/195139 <ubottu> Ubuntu bug 195139 in nvidia-kernel-common "NVIDIA GeForce 7050 onboard VGA on nForce 610i unsupported" [Undecided,Confirmed] <holstein> you might want to investigate that bug <holstein> and see if it applies <holstein> could be you need to install a proprietary driver <holstein> or some other config needs to be done to get graphics working without issues <holstein> do you know if you have sound? #ubuntustudio 2010-01-07 <marc__> sound works. thanks for your hint, i will try to install the graphic card first. <holstein> well, good luck <holstein> marc__: you got desktop? <RubbberDucky> I am uber confused. Is Ubuntu Studio a whole separate install from ubuntu? <RubbberDucky> I just want to use my interface in ubuntu without doing a reinstall... <RubbberDucky> :( * RubbberDucky cries a lil <rzm61> Hey everyone, I was here last night trying to figure out how to record what I'm hearing in hydrogen into audacity...or any program that will allow me to do so <rzm61> I've been having some issues <TheMuso> /c/c <rage_> Hey guys, is there a meta package for ubuntustudio? <rage_> Nevermind my newbie question found the docs ;) <rage_> Hmm, is there an "industry-standard" audio interface to use with ubuntu studio? <marsilainen> rage_: plenty of audio interfaces will work with ubuntu, what sort of thing are you looking for? <marsilainen> rage_: lots of PCI sound cards etc work well these days, along with USB & firewire external audio interfaces <marsilainen> but do check before you buy one that it is well supported <marsilainen> for external audio interfaces, from what I've read, probably USB interfaces are generally better supported than firewire ones <marsilainen> I'm thinking of getting an edirol/cakewalk UA-25EX for example, which I understand to be well supported <rage_> ok cool, I've had a really quick look at some of the m-audio stuff <rage_> I would be looking for something with at least 2 1/4" jacks with phantom power <marsilainen> yeah, some of the m-audio devices are definitely supported, but if you're thinking of buying a particular one then do some googling to see how others have got on with it on Linux first <marsilainen> if it works on other Linux distros then you should be fine in ubuntu too <rage_> ok, is there usually just a kernel module to compile and load? <rage_> hehe, its been awhile since I have compiled a linux kernel <marsilainen> for usb audio interfaces, they are mostly covered by the alsa usb modules which you will already have <marsilainen> so you wouldn't likely need to do any kernel compiling <marsilainen> http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-MAudio <marsilainen> that looks like a list of which m-audio devices are supported by the current alsa usb drivers <marsilainen> oh, and some pci ones in there too <rage_> cool, thanks :) <marsilainen> np <rage_> I'll have to do some research <marc__> hi, can somebody give me a hint on how to get midi running. i read that there's a problem with pulseaudio but i'm stuck. (ubuntustudio 9.04) <holstein> hmmm <holstein> im in the middle of something for a bit marc__ if you can hang :) <holstein> OH <holstein> #opensourcemusicians too <marc__> no problem <holstein> DUDE <holstein> my girlfriend and i are buying a house :) <holstein> in the middle of that kind of thing <holstein> ANYWAYS marc__, have you used jack? <marc__> yep, i can see the ports listed in the connection kit <holstein> OH <holstein> awesome <holstein> well, have you gotten sound from other software? <holstein> through jack? <jussi01> just kill pulse and be done with it ;) <marc__> jack works fine <holstein> SO, whats not working? <holstein> just midi in general <holstein> getting starte? <holstein> started* <holstein> you could try zynaddsubfx <holstein> its a synth with sounds <holstein> i have trouble running it in real-time and theres a new version <marc__> i just dont hear anything <marc__> i tried with rosegarden <holstein> OK <holstein> yeah, rosegarden doesnt have any sounds <marc__> killall -9 pulseaudio will bring timidity down: <marc__> timidity: pcm_pulse.c:361: pulse_write: Assertion `pcm->stream' failed. <marc__> Aborted <holstein> it sends midi data <holstein> if you hear sound otherwise when using jack, i dont think you have a pulse issue <marc__> i didnt suppose so too, just googled and saw that pulse caused some problems <holstein> yeah, and it does <holstein> but, i think it would be hanging up all your audio <holstein> taking over your sound device altogether <holstein> not letting jack have it <holstein> but, i think you just need a software sound module <marc__> ok, i have to admit i made two errors <holstein> well, whats it look like? <marc__> 1. when i killed pulse the front sound was somehow muted <marc__> on my lenovo this means i hear nothing through my headphones <marc__> 2. i tried around with timidity -iA -Os <marc__> you can see the timidity input ports <marc__> and if "-Os" is changed to "-Oj", jack will also get some output ports for your system :) <marc__> ok, thanks for taking your time. hope i wont bother you too much in future <holstein> hmm <holstein> i unfortunatly dont have a lot of experience with MIDI or internal sound card configurations <marc__> bye <new2ubutnu> hey all <new2ubutnu> using heron hardy... trying to find out how to get my RALink USB wifi adapter to work so i can get on the net with my desktop and give my sister back her vista laptop.. <new2ubutnu> i rebooted... not sure where to find out if Ubuntu sees the RALink usb adapter <new2ubutnu> i went to Network Settings - unlocked network settings - then selected wireless connection and clicked proerties.. so now I'm in the wlan0 properties window and not sure what to do <amstan> if you have wlan0 and you only have 1 wifi card it works <amstan> though,, not sure how to help you more <amstan> i don't use gnome <amstan> try #ubuntu <new2ubutnu> o.k. thanks #ubuntustudio 2010-01-08 * jussi01 changed the topic of #ubuntustudio to: Welcome to the Ubuntu Studio support channel - http://ubuntustudio.org | Please be patient, not everyone is watchin'. | Ubuntu Studio 9.10 Now released | This Channel is logged! | Support forum is provided by http://ubuntuforums.org | For general ubuntu help, try #ubuntu | Ubuntu Studio does not have a live cd. | General music making and studio chatter is allowed, but try not to wander too much. <K350> What's the name of that skinned music/media player that comes with ubuntustudio? #ubuntustudio 2010-01-09 <alberto> HELP <alberto> I need HELP <holstein> alberto: whatup? <alberto> holstein I can't get Line Input to record anything <alberto> holstein I can hear the guitar, but It doesn't record anything <holstein> i missed 'em #ubuntustudio 2010-01-10 <zzaza> hi all <zzaza> Am planning to have an internet radio station with some live broadcasting some times. am wondering which kind of software can i use. does any one know of any station that uses linux. <Jonathan__> anybody here?

I'm trying to get the Blue Snowball mic working with Jaunty. It works fine through ALSA, and when I look at the microphone through the PulseAudio Volume Control, I can see the volume bar moving and it selected as default. But when I change Sound Capture in System->Preferences->Sound to PulseAudio Sound Server, it doesn't work (playback through PulseAudio works fine). Any ideas? (I need to use Pulseaudio because <dkulchenko> I'm mixing multiple sound sources) <meowbuntu> hi is there a way to get a ubuntu studio live cd/dvd <amstan> meowbuntu: they're on the website <amstan> meowbuntu: if you don't want to dowload you have to buy them <meowbuntu> amstan, are you sure theere are live cd/dvd versions of ubuntustudio now <amstan> meowbuntu: oh.. i'm sorry <amstan> i missed the live part <amstan> no, i believe there is only an instealler dvd for ubuntu studio <amstan> no live <meowbuntu> y is that it sux as it should be easy to get one. <amstan> meowbuntu: you could get ubuntu on a flash drive then install the ubuntu studio metapackage <amstan> and then you'll have a live usb <meowbuntu> amstan, installing metapackkages for ubuntu studio. ubuntu ce etc dont always work so its a risk that is not safe <amstan> meowbuntu: it worked for me <amstan> true though, i only installed the audio one <meowbuntu> amstan, there si always a cauthin when installing addons like ubnut=u studio expantion pace for ubuntu. so its best tpo get a proper one if possable <amstan> meowbuntu: sorry, what? <meowbuntu> *there is always a cauton <meowbuntu> * like ubuntu <meowbuntu> *expantion pack <meowbuntu> *best to <meowbuntu> get a proper one = the full ubuntu studio <sulio> Hello all... looking for a video editor that matches up with Final Cut Pro..... can anyone offer suggestions? <meowbuntu> are there any good applications for extracting audio cds to mp3 etc <holstein> sure meowbuntu <meowbuntu> holstein, i am using ubuntu atm just asking here as studio has excellent apps for that <meowbuntu> from what i have heard <holstein> i would suggest going to synaptic and searching cd ripper <holstein> i think your wanting sound-juicer <meowbuntu> cd exractor i think <holstein> try both <meowbuntu> holstein, sound-juicer does not allow me to extract to mp3 how can i do that. <holstein> well, you need to get your codecs in order <holstein> nothing will until you do that <holstein> can you play mp3's? <meowbuntu> holstein, sound-juicer does not allow me to extract to mp3 how can i do that. do i need a codex for it <meowbuntu> yes <holstein> hmmm <meowbuntu> do i need a codes <holstein> i think i have always ripped .wav from CD <holstein> and converted to what i need after <holstein> now that i think about it <meowbuntu> well what app did you use to convert .wav to .mp3 then <holstein> sound converter <holstein> BUT, did you try to do the mp3 rip? <holstein> im surprised your not prompted about what you need <holstein> usually something comes up and says 'click here to break the law' <meowbuntu> nope <meowbuntu> not at this stabe sound juicer does not have mp3 in settings just mp2 .wav .spx .flac and .ogg <meowbuntu> stage <Blank__> ogg's better anyway :p <holstein> meowbuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-957.html <holstein> Blank__: WORD :) <Blank__> ;) <Blank__> ogg vorbis is my favourite lossy format hands down <Blank__> fav lossless is flac <meowbuntu> Blank__, that maby true but mp3 players and some of my other os dont like ogg <Blank__> sad but true <Blank__> that's why i made sure my mp3 player could take it <Blank__> and for the most part both my windows machine and linux machines all cope with it fine <Blank__> it's interesting, more devices are becoming ogg capable <meowbuntu> holstein, liblame0 cant be installed like the tutoral says y http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-957.html <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=957 <holstein> those forum post are very old <holstein> 2004 <meowbuntu> liblame0 cant be installed like the tutoral says y http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-957.html <meowbuntu> liblame0 is not in synaptic <holstein> im sure theres something like that for karmic <holstein> if you want to tackle it <holstein> theres going to be a package <meowbuntu> well what is it then ??? beats me <holstein> and that will let you make mp3's <holstein> are you running karmic? <meowbuntu> holstein, usually it would say if there was when using apt-get. <holstein> sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse <holstein> yeah, the package name has changed <holstein> OR theres another package being used <meowbuntu> liblame0 is not in synaptic <meowbuntu> holstein, read this short post please tell me what you think http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=904935 <holstein> did you try running sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse <holstein> in a terminal <meowbuntu> yes i know how to do that <meowbuntu> it worked <meowbuntu> just let me know about the post ^ <holstein> yeah, i bet thats all straitened out by now <meowbuntu> holstein, well how is that then <holstein> did you restart sound juicer? <holstein> and, do you have the mp3 option? <holstein> there seems to be a lot of working goin on to straighten those packages out <meowbuntu> holstein, thanks it worked <holstein> i think you can just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras, or something like that now <holstein> the process is being tweaked a bit <meowbuntu> is installing restricted extras a good idea <holstein> good question meowbuntu <meowbuntu> well do you know <holstein> where do you live? <holstein> do you care if its legal? <holstein> can you live without mp3's? <meowbuntu> in a house and you <holstein> DUDE <meowbuntu> mp3 are legal. and also installing restricted extras are legal <holstein> in some countries, obtaining the mp3 codecs is legal <holstein> AFAIK <holstein> for the US its not <holstein> or it a grey area <meowbuntu> i live in a house in a street in a suburb in a city in a country in the pasific on a planet called earth <meowbuntu> AFAIK = ????? <holstein> AFAIK= as far as i know <holstein> you can google that too <meowbuntu> well i do not beleve its a grey erea i need mp3 as they are cross platform <holstein> platform is not the issue <holstein> the issue is licensing <holstein> if you can figure out what country you are in, and how to use google... <holstein> you can find out the particular legal issues you might have with mp3's <holstein> and then, you can decide for yourself if installing restricted extras is a good idea <meowbuntu> i am in aotearoa. which is next to austrailia <holstein> well, now you know what to put in google when you decide to search <meowbuntu> NZL all blacks, black caps, team NZ, maori <meowbuntu> search for what exactly <holstein> DUDE <holstein> either is too late for me, or your trolling.. <meowbuntu> is installing restricted extras legal in (country) <holstein> yup <holstein> good luck to you meowbuntu <holstein> i know fluendo has a free mp3 codec <holstein> but, i think your ok over there <holstein> using the restricted extras <holstein> glad you got your sound juiced :) <holstein> nite <meowbuntu> hi i have a file in a directory with the name Ubuntu 9.10 i cant cd to it in terminal need help <jussi01> meowbuntu: please dont cross post at the same time <meowbuntu> y there are different ppl on each channel <jussi01> meowbuntu: and some are on all of them. <jussi01> meowbuntu: in any case, are you remembering that the CLI is CaSe sensitive?

more people there would know about it I guess <meowbuntu> thanks <meowbuntu> are the restricted extras legal in new zealand <meowbuntu> i would like to know <marsilainen> no idea... <marsilainen> meowbuntu: maybe there is a ubuntu loco team for new zealand who would know? <marsilainen> meowbuntu: how about trying #ubuntu-nz? <marsilainen> meowbuntu: seems like a channel for ubuntu new zealand loco team <belak> how up to date are packages kept in ubuntustudio? <marcell> i just installed packages from ubuntustudio on top of karmic koala. is there a way in upgrade to ged rid off the attempt to install generic kernel instead of rt one.. or better question how to keep up better with ubuntustudio in karmic koala? <marsilainen> marcell: hmmm, so you've added the linux-rt packages, and now you don't want the system to update the normal kernel when there are updates, just the rt one? <marsilainen> marcell: I've not tried it, but once you're running from the rt kernel have you tried removing the linux-generic package? <marsilainen> I wonder if that would do it? <marsilainen> I guess you could play with the grub config so that it will always boot the rt kernel by default and then if the generic one gets updated then it wont matter anyway as it will still boot into the rt kernel as another approach? <marsilainen> marcell: also note that if you have more than one cpu core then rt only uses one core, which is one reason to keep the generic kernel there as well so that you have the option of switching to that when appropriate <marcell> marsilainen: thanx... i think i'll just keep it and keep grub with rt as default one <marsilainen> marcell: yeah, I think that's probably the best solution <marcell> marsilainen: thanx.. any other hint regarding upgrades? <marsilainen> I'm not sure what you mean? <marsilainen> ubuntustudio uses the same update management as regular ubuntu <marsilainen> so it should automatically prompt every now and then when there are new updates to install <marsilainen> is that what you mean? <marcell> marsilainen: i know that.. i just asked if you know of anything else whici you maybe experienced.. but nvm... thanx <marsilainen> sorry, can't think of anything obvious <Kentrel> Hey <Kentrel> I'm trying to install ubuntustudio from a USB drive and it aborts because I don't have a CD drive <Kentrel> How can I get around this? #ubuntustudio 2010-01-12 <aLeSD> hi <aLeSD> is there an ardour 2.8.4 around ? <DaK_FFK> hello! <marsilainen> hi #ubuntustudio 2010-01-13 <merma> hi <merma> where can I get extra instrument packages for Hydrogen? <mezquitale> in the hydrogen website <mezquitale> actually theyre not in sourceforge <dag_> hello, i have xruns problems with jack and ardour using freebob (edirol fa101) it appears when i change limits.conf but i can't remember how it was before; same problem for someone? <holstein> ubottu: vanilla <ubottu> To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation <holstein> hey dag_ <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation <holstein> under the 'real-time support' sectino <holstein> section* <holstein> thats how my limits.conf is set up <holstein> sudo su -c 'echo @audio - rtprio 99 >> /etc/security/limits.conf' <holstein> sudo su -c 'echo @audio - nice -10 >> /etc/security/limits.conf' <holstein> sudo su -c 'echo @audio - memlock unlimited >> /etc/security/limits.conf' <dag_> holstein: thanks i will try unlimited for memlock that's the only difference <holstein> there are some arguments that memlock should not be unlimited <holstein> http://tapas.affenbande.org/wordpress/?page_id=73 <holstein> cant hurt to try it * holstein is not sure if you need to logout and back in to make the settings take effect <dag_> thanks a lot i have to read in english (i'm french) and try #ubuntustudio 2010-01-14 <CAPcap> Sound software, what works, what would anyone here recommend? <trask> heya <trask> so a friend wants me to build him a sound studio, i love ubuntu in general and was wondering if there was a point in playing around with this studio fork thingy. whats the fork about? <holstein> hey trask <trask> sup holstein, how deep are you in this project? <holstein> just a user <trask> lots deeper than me :P <holstein> you can always just make a normal ubuntu instalation into ubuntu studio <holstein> ubottu: vanilla <ubottu> To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation <trask> so whats the reason u run the studio fork instead of just the apps in regular buntu? <holstein> well.. <holstein> as far as i can tell, ubuntu studio is just a meta-package <holstein> or something like that <holstein> you can do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-studio <holstein> ubuntustudio-audio i meann <holstein> mean* <holstein> and you get a bunch of apps packaged togeter <holstein> from the ubuntu repo <trask> yeah this install is now 3+ years old, sounds like the best way to mess with it <trask> debian seems indestructable <holstein> the reason i see that there is a seperate project is the real time kernel for expample <holstein> you wouldnt want a regualr user to have to deal with that <holstein> nor, would you want to give someone access to an audio distrobution <holstein> that did not at least have a clear way to intall, and use a real time kernel <trask> why not? remote access is neat from time to time <holstein> i run a regular vanilla karmic install that i installed the ubuntustudio packages i need onto <holstein> the ububuntustudio-audio ubntustudio-audio-plugins and linux-rt <holstein> see also... <holstein> ubottu: grub2 <ubottu> GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 <trask> any need for grub? whenever i slam on another kernel build it appears in my boot menu :P <holstein> cool <holstein> grub2 in karmic can be hidden by default <holstein> i just link to that in case :) <trask> definately a part of linux that was hard back long time ago <trask> gonna scroll up and do those apt-gets #ubuntustudio 2010-01-15 <Thy_> hello <Thy_> I have a question (maybe it's a FAQ, sorry if it is) : <Thy_> ubutustudion comes with a "realtime" kernel, that is needed by jack and its friends. Okay. But the "classic" programs (firefox, filezilla...) work fine. So why "non-realtime" kernels ? <Thy_> (-n) <jussi01> Thy_: the realtime kernel affects performance in some other areas <Thy_> ah, ok thank you <jussi01> np :) <Thy_> another question : does-apt-get upgrade replaces the realtime kernel with a non-realtime one ? <Thy_> (wher a nother kernel is installed of course) <Thy_> -r+n (eee pc keyboard) <Thy_> have to leave, thanks again for the useful answer ! goodbye <marsilainen> hmmm, 'man jackd' brings up the undocumented man page... <marsilainen> do I need to install some extra package to get the jackd man pages? <marsilainen> (this is on ubuntu desktop rather than ubuntustudio) <AJH101-IRC> hi what is the recommended minimum hardware specification for u-s please? <AJH101-IRC> is there a lower spec version of ubuntu studio? or should i just look for an earlier release of u-s if i am installing on an older pc? <mezquitale> what pc do you have? <mezquitale> i've had ubuntustudio run on an old PIII laptop but it was kind of slow <mezquitale> AJH101-IRC, the trick is to have a fast sound card <AJH101-IRC> i am pickling up an old laptop tomorrow - is there a lower spec distro that you know if? <holstein> AJH101-IRC: dyne-bolic <holstein> but, you should try ubuntu studio <holstein> might be just fine <AJH101-IRC> what is mim required to work in midi and a few wav files dp you think? <AJH101-IRC> not doing any live recording <mezquitale> AJH101-IRC, ubuntu studio has the same requirements as ubuntu, however for sound applications you will need a decent sound card and off course it needs to be supported in linux, you can forget about video editing in an old computer unless you have the patience <holstein> midi should be lighter on resources <holstein> people have been doing midi for years <AJH101-IRC> yes i hope so <mezquitale> AJH101-IRC, my pIII worked better in ubuntu studio than on my desktop with a dual AMD CPU with 4 gigs of ram, that's because the sound card in the laptop is better supported in linux <AJH101-IRC> i installed the audio apps at the command line - how do i uninstell them from the pc? i would like a dedicated midi laptop so i do not need all the extras on this pc <holstein> ubottu: vanilla <ubottu> To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation <holstein> something like that AJH101-IRC <holstein> sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins linux-rt <AJH101-IRC> i am looking to uninstall the audio apps from this pc - i will install full studio on the laptop - the link does not tell me about uninstalling <AJH101-IRC> the sudo will just install - not uninstall i think? <holstein> hmmm <holstein> i would suggest a vanilla install <mezquitale> AJH101-IRC, forget about uninstalling, just install and ubuntustudio will configure itself <holstein> and get the audio stuff <holstein> the ubuntustudio install will have the video stuff <holstein> and other extras you might not be interested in <mezquitale> how do you unmount a dvd drive?? <AJH101-IRC> ok - i think i will have to use that earlier command line for the audio apps only 0 thanks <holstein> hmm <holstein> mezquitale: i usually find it in gnome, and right-click :) <holstein> but, if you know where it is mounted, you should be abot to umount it or whatever <holstein> sudo umount /where/ever ...something like that <AJH101-IRC> thx for advice guys <AJH101-IRC> ttfn <holstein> good luck AJH101-IRC :) #ubuntustudio 2010-01-17 <GuiLux> salut a tous <Rubbberducky> Is it possible to make my audio interface work on ubuntu studio? <jussi01> Rubbberducky: well if you tell us what the interface is... <Rubbberducky> I was hoping to get a response first lol ;P <Rubbberducky> Presonus firestudio mobile * holstein has a presonus firepod <holstein> that works pretty well <Rubbberducky> oh? <Rubbberducky> Sweet <Rubbberducky> Im trying to understand how this all works <holstein> not sure about the firestudio though <Rubbberducky> I add mydelf to a couple new groups? <holstein> cool <holstein> i would suggest running sudo qjackctl <holstein> you can troubleshoot the firewire permissions issues that way <holstein> if you get it to run sudo, then you know it is possible <Rubbberducky> hmmm it didnt work <holstein> hmmm <Rubbberducky> i ran it though <holstein> jack ran? <Rubbberducky> didnt connect to server or something? <holstein> hmmm <holstein> did you select the firewire drive in jackd? <holstein> or qjackctl <Rubbberducky> no Im just getting started :) <holstein> firewire driver* <Rubbberducky> p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } cannot lock down memory for RT thread (Cannot allocate memory) <holstein> OH <holstein> well, for now <holstein> you can uncheck the realtime box in qjack <holstein> ctl <holstein> you running a realtime kernel Rubbberducky? <holstein> yeah, run sudo qjackctl <Rubbberducky> Im in ubuntu studio running the default w/e i installed yesterday <holstein> uncheck the realtime box <holstein> under setup <Rubbberducky> i did <holstein> choose firewire under driver <holstein> and hit start <holstein> actually, click OK first <holstein> to save <holstein> and then start <holstein> see if you got any joy <holstein> then we can go from there <Rubbberducky> could not connect to jack server as client <holstein> hmmm <holstein> its not looking good now that im google-ing <holstein> http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/35 <holstein> Rubbberducky: try the freebob driver <holstein> thats the older version of ffado pretty much <Rubbberducky> hm :/ <holstein> no luck? <holstein> what im finding on line <holstein> on ffado's site <holstein> is saying that presonus has offered to write linux drivers <holstein> or at least <holstein> make information available for drivers to be written <holstein> and that information has not been delivered :/ <holstein> i had a hell of a time a few years ago trying to get the firepod to work <Rubbberducky> Well <Rubbberducky> If its such a massive pain maybe Ill say screw it <Rubbberducky> I might just go back to Ubuntu 9.1 <Rubbberducky> Rather than studio. <Rubbberducky> Why have all this audio and video crap thats not compatible with anything? <holstein> i would suggest joining the ffado mailing list <holstein> very active <holstein> if somebody is using the firestudio, you could ask <Rubbberducky> mhmm <Rubbberducky> Thanks <holstein> good luck <Rubbberducky> :) #ubuntustudio 2010-01-18 <nintendude794> howdy <nintendude794> is this the ubuntustudio support room?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 <holstein> do you see grub funkyHat? <holstein> or is it hidden? <funkyHat> I've already changed the settings so I can see it <holstein> OK <funkyHat> Well, I've put it on a hidden 3 second timeout <funkyHat> So I can press esc. and it'll appear <holstein> its all about that /etc/default/grub fil <holstein> e <funkyHat> The problem with setting GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub is every time a new kernel is installed that will change <holstein> yeah <holstein> i usually just deal <holstein> and either reset the default <holstein> or get rid of an older kernel <holstein> i like to keep them around though just in case <holstein> makes me feel safer <funkyHat> Mm, I'm looking at /etc/grub.d/ to see if those scripts can be modified to give -rt kernels a higher priority <holstein> in grub2 AFAIK <holstein> you shouldnt mess with /etc/grub.d <holstein> you just set the default on in /etc/default/grub <funkyHat> No, that's /boot/grub/grub.cfg <holstein> OH <holstein> ok <funkyHat> Messing with /etc/grub.d is fine as long as you know what you're doing <holstein> well, ive only done it that way <funkyHat> Which I don't ;D <holstein> yeah, i was going to say, because im still learning too :) <holstein> funkyHat: how about getting rid of the generic kernel? <holstein> sudo apt-get autoremove linux-generic or something like that <funkyHat> holstein: I'd thought of that, but rather not <holstein> yeah, its good to keep a non RT around <funkyHat> I'd like to have it there as a fallback if there are issues with the -rt kernel I haven't disovered yet <funkyHat> holstein: I've thought of a solution. It means the -rt kernels will be listed twice in the menu <funkyHat> Actually I guess I could make it so that they aren't <funkyHat> holstein: cd /etc/grub.d/ && sudo cp 10_linux 09_linux-rt && sudo sed -i 's:vmlinu[xz]-\*:vmlinu[xz]-*rt:' 09_linux-rt && sudo update-grub <holstein> skillz funkyHat :) <funkyHat> hehe <funkyHat> http://funkyhat.org/2010/01/19/putting-rt-kernels-first-in-grub2/ #ubuntustudio 2010-01-20 <semitones> hello! <semitones> can I find hardware requirements for ubuntu studio anywhere? <semitones> the laptop I'd like to install it on runs xubuntu nicely, but can't handle gnome very well, so I was wondering if ubuntu studio would work <Blank__> probably not <Blank__> ubuntu studio uses gnome <semitones> hmm, is it more or less demanding than standard ubuntu? For instance, how do the latency adjustments affect performance? <Blank__> not sure <Blank__> i'd say you wouldnt want to use it on anything less than a 1GHz <semitones> hmm ok, I think I have a faster processor than that. The problems being I only have 512 mb ram, and 128 of that is reserved for onboard graphics (though I can change this to 64 bit in the bios). Is there a wiki page with system requirements? <Blank__> not that i know of <Fezzler> pulseaudio and jack - ugh - no like each other <_guitarman_> with ubuntustudio 910, do you have to do any config in terms of limits.conf etc like in the past , or does an install take care of adding to the audio group et etc. <_guitarman_> we have a user who has a delta 44 who gets xruns with realtime checked but no xruns when its not checked <Fezzler> hi <Fezzler> can you help me sort the jack and pulseaudio complexity? <mothersofinventi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/359342/ <mothersofinventi> karmic. <mothersofinventi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/359342/ <amstan> _guitarman_: going over to the ubuntu side then? <_guitarman_> hehe i was helping cameron <amstan> oh, ok <_guitarman_> i actually do run ubuntu based distro on my eee <_guitarman_> we got him going <_guitarman_> he's alexanderlisa@example.com ms or so <_guitarman_> :) <amstan> come on! i'm only getting 20 <amstan> well.. without rt though, that must count for something <_guitarman_> amstan: no rt? why <_guitarman_> rt ftw <amstan> i didn't want to bother with a new kernel <amstan> i have a quad core, i thought it wouldn't matter anymore <amstan> and it doesn't <_guitarman_> coo <_guitarman_> you and your quad core. <_guitarman_> heheh <_guitarman_> and your gigabyte internet! <amstan> oh yeah.. that <amstan> lol <_guitarman_> heheh <_guitarman_> you got like the sports car of music computing <amstan> i also have sneakernet access to the ubuntu repository <_guitarman_> thats cool though - i'm glad for you <_guitarman_> sneakernet is awesome <amstan> ya <amstan> lol <semitones> does the realtime kernel introduce instability? * _guitarman_ shakes majic 8 ball. <_guitarman_> magic even <_guitarman_> dunno - rt patches seem to run fine for me <semitones> alright that's good <semitones> I also hope I can use it with the xubuntu package <semitones> how does the rt kernel affect the rest of the system though? Does it act like a normal desktop? <mothersofinventi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/359342/ <mothersofinventi> karmic. <mothersofinventi> anyone? <holstein> hey mothersofinventi <holstein> i have no idea what to do with that pastebin <holstein> whats going wrong? <funkyHat> Has anyone managed to use either fst or dssi-vst on a 64bit linux? #ubuntustudio 2010-01-21 <stochastic> Submit your artwork to the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase <crlsgms> anyone here? <crlsgms> well, ill just ask.

I'd like to install ubuntu, but came across ubuntu studio. I want to do video editing on the box. Is ubuntu studio an overkill for me? <stanman246> or is it an ubuntu install with extra software pre-installed? <ueu001> Hello <wedderburn> hey <ueu001> I have a question. I have a laptop and I want to buy a small midi controller (25 keys). does anyone have any experience with that?Should I also get an audio interface with that (the internal sound card is not so good) . I'm thinking of getting the behringer uma25s, which has an audio interface built-in <Kentrel> Has anyone managed to get muse to play for them? I've tried a bunch of different Ubuntu distros and never got it working <holstein> hey Kentrel <holstein> you might want to ask in #opensourcemusicians <holstein> some guys were talking about muse the other day <holstein> i know one of the runs ubuntu <Kentrel> ok, thanks. I'm a sibelius user, and would love to get it work <holstein> i dont remember hearing any complaints <holstein> so i think its safe to assume its do-able <holstein> one of the guys... <holstein> i think it was [lsd] and anankor <holstein> not sure <holstein> anyways, one of them preffered it strongly to rosegarden <holstein> and used it often <Kentrel> ok, i'll check it out thanks <garth> Is there a way to get audio from FireFox (say, youtube vids) to play out through JACK? My speaker are connected to my Audiophile 24/96 and they seem only to play audio from JACK-ready apps <garth> or should i connect a separate set of speakers to my on-board Creative sound card too? <meowbuntu> ok if i have a new install of ubuntu can i install kubuntu desktop with it(not just kde), and also ubuntu studio desktop, <meowbuntu> hi anyone here atm <meowbuntu> never hardly is <meowbuntu> needing help atm p[lease <meowbuntu> !ask <ubottu> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).
