Ah, thanks mike.  Not certain about the t61, but I'll check tonight when I
get out of the studio.  I use mine mainly for photography and technical
drafting with BricsCAD, so have never tried fw audio.  Someone told me that
it would work, but I've never checked.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] [ot] Suggestions for a notebook for music.

[BA Huys]

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention; every lenovo that I've ever had has worked 
exceedingly well with Ubuntu Studio.  The T61p has Nvidia graphics, so 
if you want to use the proprietary driver, you can, but noveau drivers 
work great too. Everything works right out of the box as fas as 
installation goes.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Password issues

[BA Huys]

To get rid of password, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword 
This usually works for me.  Reset whichever account password you want to 
get in to.  I'm with you though, I cant remember how to remove 
proprietary drivers, but I've done that before.  If it's Nvidia, maybe 
reinstall the noveau drivers?  Sometimes they work better than the 
Nvidia prop drivers.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] apt-get: Data wont be removed on purge and autoremove

Not sure why autoremove is not working, but if you need a quick and

Hi!
Recently i had an issue with my graphics card. I fixed it, but then i
started investigating what caused my problem. And i remembered i had

This game seem to be using my Nvidia, so i thought i'd resintall it,
just to see if i could repeat the error. and the terminal tells me this:

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

So i go yes, of course nothing is downloaded so it's really alot faster
than initial install.

I check my drivers, all good. The game is not the problem.

I remove it again, first with purge, and then autoremove to get rid of
those 700+ mb

I get this on on purge:

And then autoremove:

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish? I use Thunar (which is

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Enhancing the desktop

[BA Huys]

Another alternative to using Xfce menu or Whisker; try a launcher, I 
like Synapse, it remembers what you use often, indexes files, folders, 
apps, settings, etc, and can be called with any hotkey you chose.  I 
usually keep Synapse mapped to the super key, that way anything I need 
to access is only a tap away.  I honestly don't ever use the menu anymore.


If you want expose, the only thing I know of is using GNOME (which also 
has unfocused scrolling), but that brings other issues into play.  I 
find GNOME too cumpersome for heavy duty Audio/graphical work.  However, 
I do have GNOME3 on my everyday laptop, and love it.  If you haven't 
tried GNOME3 lately, give it a shot, it's very convient when you get 
used to it.  Shoot me an email if you want some pics of config, GNOME vs 
XFCE.

Hello,

I've looked a bit into this a got a few results. I have a laptop in
which I can test distros and the such, helps me decide what to install
in my main computer. It doesn't has the same hardware, but it's a big
help.

Installed the latest version of US and looked for a few things in the
internet. For the window list that also works as a dock there is
DockBarX, which is great. Changed the default menu for Whisker Menu,
which behaves a bit like Mint Menu. Haven't looked into my other
requests, but the unfocused scroll is a must; if any of you know how to
configure it please tell me. The expo view of the windows is not
necessary, but it certainly is useful, specially when drag and dropping
stuff around. Oh and Alt-Tab is certainly useful, a must in any good DE
;)

Ah, another request. I usually turn off my PC by using a power button
on my keyboard (or the actual power button of the PC), but I'd like a
confirmation dialog before I actually turn it off, I also do this to
easily reboot or log out. So I'd like to change the behavior of the
button to show me, instead, the dialog of the Exit option in the menu.
Does any of you know how to do this?

I'll keep on looking around.

Hi, Hazan :)

I'd never tried to change that stuff, but in case you have
not enough answers from the UbuntuStudio community you
can also try the Xfce community as well. Things like "unfocused
scroll" (which I personally love ;) are probably Xfce-relative, etx.

Have you tried keeping Alt pressed after Tab for the "All open

Sorry for not being of much help,

 Good day community,

 A bit of background: Used a couple of versions of UbuntuStudio in the
 past, I think it's a very good idea for a Distro. I work mostly with
 graphics, some video and a bit of desktop publishing, so having a
 distro
 with such tools available out of the box is great (can't say the same
 for all the audio stuff, most of that software I don't even know
 how to
 use).

 For this semester I decided to switch to Linux Mint, which is nice but
 it has a few problems, thanks to the Cinnamon DE, which has let me sad
 and frustrated. I'm thinking of switching to US again, but there are a
 few things about XFCE that I don't like.

 XFCE is really nice, fast, lean and light while being pretty, but
 I miss
 a bit of functionality from other DEs. I can't use another DE
 because of
 a default sound config (wrote about that some time ago but didn't
 received much help). Sound is rightly configured in default US with
 XFCE, but if I change the DE it goes all wrong.

 Now, for that extra functionality, here are the things I miss the most
 from other DEs:

 - Unfocused Scroll: This is if, for example, I have a window in the
 background and a smaller in front, if I scroll the background
 window it
 wont get focused (it wont go up in front). know a way to configure
 this?

 - All open windows view, like expo, without using Compiz. Compiz
 breaks
 the beauty of XFCE.

 - A window list that can also work as a dock, that is, a window
 list in
 a panel that can have "pinned" icons for applications, but when
 clicked
 on opens the application an keeps working as it's window selector (not
 appearing an extra icon).

 ... Plus a few more things. I know that all this is DE oriented,
 and not
 exactly for the core functionality of US and probably not on the right
 list, but I'd appreciate your help.

 Thanks in advance.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] An Offert to the State

[BA Huys]

Canonical does offer commercial support for vanilla Ubuntu.  It's on the
website.  I think that vanilla Ubuntu or Xubuntu would be the best options.
 The low latency in US will cause cause confusion, and to be honest, be a
bit of overkill. I have a setup of Xubuntu that I use to introduce folks to
Linux.  It's setup to mimic winxp cosmetically, and most users find it
close enough that they learn everything within a few hours.

My 2 cents.
