[ubuntu-studio-users] Success with 18.04 on netbook :)

2018-07-13 Thread J. Simon van der Walt
I've just done a clean install of ubuntu studio 18.04 on my absurdly
cheap and cheerful 11" Dell Inspiron. tldr; almost everything is going
very well indeed. Now running SuperCollider 3.9.3 built from source.
Here's a wee livecoded algorave-ish test track I made today with this
setup:

https://clyp.it/5d3lo4na

Problems;

* getting the thing to boot after install was 48 hours of hell. Brief
outline here https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2396060

* there's a wee bug that I also had on this machine on an earlier
install of ubuntu studio. Sometimes there is mysteriously no sound,
although everything looks like it is working. Solution is to go to
Sound Settings from the panel, and unmute, wait for it, *the
microphone*. Eh?! But seems to work.

Thanks to the developers for this great distro!

Re: Fairly naive Pd question

2010-01-14 Thread J. Simon van der Walt
Ricardo,

Sorry, I wasn't clear, that's what I mean, when put the name of a library in
the startup, eg cyclone, then I just get an error message 'can't load
library'. I'll try asking on the pd list.

Thanks,

JS

 Hi JS
 
 Maybe not all the libs are loaded at startup.
 You can add the lib folder that you want in the file menu - startup
 or maybe make like this [cyclone/objectyouwant]
 this happens, maybe because the devs doesnt want to load all the libs,
 because they are loaded to the RAM and most of them you dont use in day to
 day work.
 
 Try like this to see if it helps

 Ricardo,
 
 You need to install the deb package from the puredata.info website and
 unistall pd-vanilla. when unistalling pd-vanilla, ubuntustudio-audio will
 be
 uninstalled, but that is only a metapackage, you are not uninstalling all
 the programs.
 
 Thanks. From this point on, the question should probably go to the
 pd-list, I guess, but... I uninstalled pd (vanilla) in Synaptic
 Package Manager, and downloaded and installed this instead;
 
 
 http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/Pd-0.42.5-extended-ubuntu-ka
 rmic-i386.deb
 
 It mostly seems to work. However, of the libraries I tried to install
 in Pd, only Gem seems to work, other wise I get
 
 cyclone: can't load library
 
 The libraries all seem to be there in usr/lib/pd. What now?

Fairly naive Pd question

2010-01-11 Thread J. Simon van der Walt
The version of Pd included with studio 9.10 - am I correct in thinking
that is pd-vanilla? Rather than pd-extended? Is there a reason for
that? How would I install pd-extended? I have some patches previous
done on pd-extended on the mac which I'd like to try to get going in
linux.

midisport 1X1 firmware

2010-01-04 Thread J. Simon van der Walt
Maybe this list not quite the right place to ask, but someone here
might know; if I burn new firmware to my midisport 1X1, like this;

http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/

will it still work with Mac OS X? Windows?

Reorganise main menus after migrating from Ubuntu?

2010-01-02 Thread J. Simon van der Walt
Hi there, kind of n00b around here...

I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my msi wind clone, and used the instructions
on this page to migrate to ubuntustudio;

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu

Mostly this has gone well. However, one of the reasons I wanted to use
studio rather than vanilla was for the very plain bare bones ui. I think I
can probably figure out how to reconfigure the panels and get rid of the
bottom one, but I'm stumped on the menus. How would I get rid of ubuntu's
'Applications', Places and System and use the single no-name menu which
studio uses? So that I have space to put open window tabs at the top instead
of the bottom like studio does it?

Thanks,
