[ubuntu-studio-users] Trying to find a Softphone that will interface with Jack

2016-03-15 Thread Edward A Schober 
I have been trying to find a GUI softphone (VOIP) that will interface
with Jack.  It would also be nice if it had the Opus codec.

Everything wants to talk through PulseAudio, but the "microphone" input
sink never to show in Jack.

I was hoping that there would be a softphone that was Jack enabled.

I know that Freeswitch will connect to Jack, but there is no gui for
it.  The softphone will be an extension for a local freeswitch.

Anyone know of one that works, or if there is a workaround?  The
features of Bria, Ekiga or Twinkle are sufficient.

Thanks,
Ted

[ubuntu-studio-users] FTP Download

2016-03-12 Thread Edward A Schober 
How about downloading using the torrent link?  I, for one, host the
AMD64 version along with other useful torrents like LibreOffice and Knoppix.

You need to update the files once in a while if you want to maintain a
useful torrent server, but it is otherwise painless.

Torrents go much faster.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] ubuntu-studio-users Digest, Vol 100, Issue 4

2015-08-13 Thread Edward A Schober 
When jack runs it starts a process called jackdbus.  If jack fails
jackdbus hangs around as a zombie that needs to be killed before jack
will restart.

*ps -A |grep jackdbus*

You will get response
   jackdbus   (where  is the process number)

*sudo kill -9    *(I didn't check the process level that jackdbus
runs, but -9 kills it!)

Then jack will start just fine if it is setup properly.

 Hi all,

 I'm running ubuntu 15.04 now, gnome variant, with ubuntustudio and kxstudio
 installed through software sources.

 My soundcard is an Echo Audiofire 12, connected with firewire.

 Since 15.04 when I start jack it works fine as long as I don't run any
 other application which requires sound, before starting jack.

 it is consistently going wrong when I for example start chrome, exit chrome
 and try to start jack, using claudia, or qjackctl, or commandline.
 the message qjackctl throws is: JackServer::Open failed with -1

 When I log out of the system, then log in again (no reboot required) it
 works again, as long as I start jack first.

 Also, when I use chrome while running jack things seem to keep working,
 though I have ben thrown out of jack too.

 - I checked if I was in audio-group, which I am, otherwise it wouldn't work
 at all.
 - I turned autospawn off for pulseaudio and killed pulseaudio befor
 starting jack
 - tried out various settings in qjackctl.

 None seem to have helped.

 How can I trace the source of the problem? If it is a known issue, anyone
 idea's on how to fix this?

 grtz,

 Bart

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] ubuntu-studio-users Digest, Vol 100, Issue 4

2015-08-13 Thread Edward A Schober 
Perhaps you should run claudia on boot? 

Once you decide to use jack, it should be part of the environment -
always there.

If you use $HOME/.jackdrc jack will start with your user session.
if you make a file /etc/jackdrc it will be the default jack session
parameters for the computer.
A clean Ubuntu-Studio install does not have these files.  I think
.jackdrc gets generated when you run qjackctl for the first time.  I
think claudia reads and writes ~/.jackdrc.

There is a discussion about jackd vs jackdbus at

http://jack-audio.10948.n7.nabble.com/more-jack-qjackctl-madness-td8914i20.html

Which I have not yet figured out.

2015-08-13 Thread Edward A Schober 
Bart -

You get it to start if you have not used audio?  Are you running pulseaudio?
Pulseaudio sometimes gets confused if you have only one card and
pulseaudio has grabbed it, and won't give it to jack.

 Hi all,

 as an idea to get jackdbus stopping and then startup again I used as
 Edward Schrober suggested :

 sudo kill -9 4327 (the number is the pid of jackdbus)

 but to no avail, jack won't start again. Now I'm on xfce, default for
 ubuntustudio. So it is not gnome related, but a more general configuration
 issue I think.

 grtz,

 Bart
