[ubuntu-studio-users] Corrections to Downloading pictures/movies from an iPhone 11

[Mike Squires]

This is a correction to what I originally posted, after trying my own 
advice.


This was used under Ubuntu Studio 20.04.4.

For reasons I don't pretend to understand mounting the iPhone as a USB 
device and opening File Managers works sporadically but frequently.  At 
this point it is not working.


The workaround was to use "ifuse" and "libimobiledevice" instead. The 
former was already installed, the latter had to be installed with "sudo 
apt install libimobiledevice".


Once this was accomplished I executed the following as suggested by 
AskUbuntu:


idevicepair validate

If a SUCCESS message does not result execute

idevicepair pair

and get that message.

Then execute (assuming "pics" does not exist)

mkdir ~/pics && ifuse ~/pics

and the iPhone will be mounted. This uses the "pics" subdirectory as a 
temporary directory in order to make certain the iPhone is dismounted 
properly later (see below).


Quite a bit more is visible than is usual; the images were found in

/home//pics/DCIM/107APPLE/

If you execute

fusermount -u ~/pics

the iPhone is unmounted or to both unmount and remove the "pics" 
directory execute


fusermount -u ~/pics && rmdir ~/pics

The reason for doing this is that just unplugging your phone does not 
correctly dismount it from the Ubuntu side; the dismount is necessary 
and the "rmdir" makes sure it was dismounted.


Most of this is copied straight out of the AskUbuntu comment labeled 
"Historical Workaround".

upgrade.

[ubuntu-studio-users] New ISO images fail to boot with an older PC

[Mike Squires]

Both the 20.x and 21.x ISO's fail to boot on my Dell T7600.

I tried both DVD and USB stick versions, same failure. Unfortunately I 
didn't copy the message down, but this appears to be the Ubuntu "EFI" 
bug discussed on Tom's Hardware page today.


Fortunately I have a copy of the older ISO (which is not the "v .2" 
version).


(I know this is an Ubuntu issue, not a Studio issue, but I wished to 
warn those trying to install right now on older hardware.)

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Network disabled on PC after last update

[Mike Squires]

I have a system running 20.04 on a Dell T7600 with motherboard audio and 
a Presonus 24C USB interface; haven't seen that problem although I've 
been updating regularly.  I'll watch out for it, however.


Thanks!

Any ideas as to what to do next to diagnose the problem?

If you updated Ubuntu a while back and haven't used it for a while, you
may have been hit by a bug caused by some of the kernel security
releases causing network connectivity to fail if you have a USB audio
device.

This happened to me a couple of times after an update.

The solution was to reboot and select an old version of the kernel in
the GRUB menu. If you are lucky, that version of the kernel will have a
working network and you can do an update of the system. The latest
kernels do not have the problem.

This is a bit of a guess, because you gave more information about your
Windows version than your Ubuntu Studio version. :-)

Ross

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Network disabled on PC after last update

[Mike Squires]

First, I'm not a Linux guru; most of my experience has been with SunOS 
and FreeBSD.


Is there any evidence the card is recognized and is connecting? Are 
there errors in "/var/log/syslog"?  I assume that you've looked at the 
network settings being used and tried reconfiguring the interface.


This sounds to me like a system configuration issue or an Ubuntu 
problem, not a Studio problem, to me.


I would definitely do a Google search using the Ubuntu Studio version 
asking if an update had caused network problems.  I found some possibly 
related answers, but I don't know if any of them fit your problem.  
These were all from "askubuntu.com".


If that doesn't work you'll need to ask for more detailed help, probably 
on "askubuntu.com".


I think that you'll need to provide the Ubuntu Studio version and 
possibly Linux kernel version, the hardware you're using including the 
Ethernet hardware.  I ran "lspci" and it shows I'm using an Intel 82574L 
GigE network interface.  I ran into similar problems using FreeBSD with 
a RealTek Ethernet interface and it turned out to be a problem with 
RealTek's information provided to open source programmers which is why 
all of my systems now run Intel Ethernet hardware.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Zoom freeze

[Mike Squires]

I am running 20.04 on a Dell T7600, single Xeon E5 at 2.4 Ghz, quad 
core; 16GB RAM and Quadro K2000 video.  The system came with a Windows 
10 Pro license and I've installed Ubuntu Studio in a dual-boot 
configuration under UEFI.  I paid $125 at the Indiana University surplus 
store for the computer which can be expanded quite a bit (including to 
12 core CPUs in the same E5 family) at low cost since it's no longer on 
the leading edge.


I had the same lockup during a Zoom lesson where video stopped but audio 
continued; after a few minutes the whole system locked up.


I had another similar lockup, this time not in Zoom.

The default installation used the "nouveau" video driver.  Under the 
assumption that the Quadro K2000 might be the source of the problem I 
followed Ubuntu instructions for identifying the recommended nVidia 
driver and installed that.  I was going to replace the  K2000 with a AMD 
HD 7450 card but thought I would try the driver first.


Since switching to the recommended nVidia driver there have been no 
lockups.  Video speed has increased dramatically, from a glmark2 speed 
of under 1000 with the "nouveau" driver to 2500 with the nVidia driver.


I used the linuxconfig.org method for 20.04 which involves first running 
"ubuntu-drivers devices" which gave me a recommended driver with "apt 
install nvidia-driver-", followed by a reboot.

Not sure if this problem belongs with a regular Ubuntu group.
While attending a Zoom call after about 30 minutes, the video will freeze
but the audio continues. People can hear me and I can hear them. The cursor

[ubuntu-studio-users] Installation of 20.04 on a Dell T7600

[Mike Squires]

Well, finally got it to work.

(1)  Don't try to use a KVM switch while installing, too many hardware 
changes during the install.


(2)  My PS/2 mouse didn't work with the ISO instance.  It seems to work 
OK once Ubuntu Studio is running, however.


.I booted from a USB stick created using "tuxboot" under Windows 10 Pro 
using the MS installation on the disk I wished to dual boot.  "tuxboot" 
allowed me to create a Clonezilla USB stick as well as the Ubuntu Studio 
stick.  I had to use the stick as the three T7600's I have all have bad 
internal CD/DVD drives, and I needed a UEFI installation.


(3)  Boot to trying out Ubuntu Studio, not directly to install. The 
latter did not work for me, and I tried several times.  The problems 
were all different.  Once I discovered (1) and (2) I discovered


(4)  Don't install proprietary software during the installation 
process.  This always caused the installation to crash with a known 
error.  I skipped that option and then ran the software updater after 
installation, hope that works.


The T7600 has a Xeon CPU and a nVidia Quadro K2000 which may have caused 
some of my problems.  They were relatively cheap, $125 with 16 GB of 
RAM.  Their main issue is high power consumption, power supply is rated 
at 1300 watts.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] ubuntu-studio-users Digest, Vol 163, Issue 4 (Ross Gammon)

[Mike Squires]

I'm posting this because I'm using a USB audio/MIDI interface box with 
20.04 rather than the on-board audio or an add-in card.


I'm currently running 20.04 on a variety of hardware; one of them is a 
Dell T3600.  I added a PreSonus 24C external mic/MIDI box with USB 
connection and it was immediately recognized and is working well with 20.04.


I haven't really tried using the MIDI.  Thanks for posting the link to 
the Ubuntu Studio controls page in the Wiki so I have hope.  My Alesis 
keyboard does appear in the various control apps but I haven't actually 
tried to get it to work.  I did learn that it was a good idea to create 
a temporary user ID so that any changes that are not working can be 
reversed just by logging out and logging back in with the standard 
user.  I did look at the audio HOWTO but the controls in the document 
seem different from those now present in 20.04.


I also plan on adding a MIDI connected Korg Triton Rack synth in the future.

My older workstation is a Supermicro X7DAE dual Xeon with PCI-X, a 
PCI-E, and a PCI slot on the MB.  This PC uses a M-Audio card (model 66? 
seems similar to the 1010) with an external I/O box. This is also 
working well.  I now have a Nikon NS2000 slide scanner on an Adaptec 
SCSI PCI-X controller using Vuescan which is recognized but not tested, yet.


I am working on installing on a Dell T7600.  The T3600 and T7600 are 
Dell's older scientific workstations with older Xeon CPUs, nVida high 
performance video cards, and a lot of options for expansion.  The T7600 
appears to have 1 drive slot using the on-board SATA controller and 4 
slots using the installed SAS/SATA controller.  The T3600 was $170 from 
an eBay surplus dealer and the T7600 was $125 from the local 
university.  Both are very quiet for units that consume as much power as 
they do (T7600 is rated 1300 watts max).


I use this older hardware because it allows me to re-use older 
third-party hardware but obtain performance that seems equal to modern 
low-end hardware.  For example, the X7DAE with its 8 2.5 Ghz Xeon cores 
clocks in the top 10% of results for SciSoft Sandra and the installed 
Radeo 7000 series video card clocks well with Linux graphics 
benchmarks.  I haven't tested the Dell PCs yet.

I ran into this with FreeBSD.  It apparently is common for PC board 
manaufacturers to request minor changes in third party hardware, or for 
the third party hardware makers to do so.  This was done in a couple of 
cases where the hardware was supposed to work with FreeBSD and the 
hardware was listed during boot as being a supported piece of hardware, 
but it didn't work.  In both cases one particular implementation of the 
hardware had a very minor change that had no impact, apparently, for MS 
Windows users but which stopped the hardware from working under 
FreeBSD.  In both cases I was able to work with the group maintaining 
that piece of hardware and eventually getting a patch to the kernel that 
fixed the problem.


I personally have tried to buy laptops particularly that the 
manufacturer supported LINUX.  I've also learned not to buy the latest 
hardware since without manufacturer support the various BSD/LINUX 
implementations may take some time, if ever, to support new hardware or 
new versions of older hardware.


The problems I've had with Ubuntu have not been with Studio but with 
code maintained upstream.  This is different from my experience with (a 
long time ago) SCO UN*X and FreeBSD and it took me a bit to learn that.


My primary workstation is an older Supermicro X7DAE motherboard, dual 
Xeon quad core, which at one point didn't like the low-latency kernel 
mods but upstream changes contained in v19 and V20 have solved that 
problem.  My music room runs off a Dell T3600 which uses a single Xeon 
quad core, the nVidia card and LSI raid controller shipped with the 
unit, and a Presonus 24c USB sound inteface, all working well.  My 
laptops are a HP Envy 17T, Intel i7, and a Dell Inspiron 5758, both of 
which run fine under Ubuntu Studio.  The X7DAE is working well with a 
Radeon 7000 video card paired with an old M-Audio PCI card; the older 
nVidia display controller in the 17T is recognized and the "nouveau" 
driver is installed and works.  None of this offers state-of-the-art 
game performance (my gaming is restricted to participating in an on-line 
D game and a lot of years as an SCA armored combat participant) but it 
all seems to work well under Ubuntu Studio.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Problem with Asus FX505 Tuf Gaming laptop after installing 20.04

[Mike Squires]

A data point:  I'm using an HP Envy 17 laptop, older Intel i7 processor, 
and according to the "Software & Updates" panel I'm using the X.Org X 
server with the Noveau display driver.


Nvidia hardware is "GeForce 940M".

No problems.

I'm not doing anything really complex, the usual home stuff but no 
gaming (D using VTT and discord, but nothing very taxing to the system).


Installation was from the DVD, nothing other than the usual items asked 
for during the installation.

I can boot into Ubuntu Studio, but after a few minutes, everything

CTRL ALT F1 for a terminal and do things there, but since I updated

I would really like to get Ubuntu Studio working on this laptop, as 
Windows 10 sucks. I can revert it all back to just Windows 10 if 
necessary, but would rather use Linux.


Any ideas on what is wrong?

Some websites suggest the graphics driver. I have the Nvidia 
proprietary driver installed and selected, originally the Xorg-nouveau 
driver was in use, but I removed this as some say it is buggy.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Possible cheap system - Dell T3600 Xeon workstation

[Mike Squires]

I needed a better workstation for my audio work and purchased a Dell 
T3600 for $170 plus tax, delivered, from eBay.  It is replacing a Dell 
6320 laptop with 4GB RAM which locks up trying to edit in OpenShot.  I 
will probably install an M-Audio Delta 66 audio card since that is what 
I'm using in the other machine.


The T3600 uses an older single quad core Xeon processor ("E5-1603", and 
2.8Ghz) and a PERC RAID controller; this system came with an nVidia 
Quadro 600 video card and 20GB of non-ECC memory.


Installed a 1TB Seagate HD; so far everything works.

First installed Windows 7 x64 (have one app, Sibelius, that requires it) 
and then installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04.  My monitor had problems with 
the standard install (it's an HP24111, HD, showed signal out of range) 
and I eventually booted up the live version and installed from that, no 
problem.


Running UnixBench (the version from the software installer has a bug, 
had to recompile it; notified the maintainer but no evidence that it's 
been patched).  The CPU clocks at 5500 bogoMIPS which is about 25% 
faster than the Xeon 53xx in my other desktop.


The motherboard has 1 PCI slot and a lot of PCI-E slots, of which 2 are 
used for the Quadra 600 and the PERC controller.


Still in the middle of installation but so far the install has gone well 
and the machine is performing well.  It's nice to have 18 GB of unused 
memory.


My other workstation is a Supermicro X7DAE dual quad core Xeon (E5335, 2 
Ghz), 20GB RAM, AMD Radeon 7xxx video).  I tested the new system with 
UnixBench and glmark2.  The old system clocks at 614 with a single CPU, 
2121 with all 8, glmark2 score of 1088 (AMD Radeon 7).  The T3600 
clocks at 892 with  a single CPU, 2911 with all 4; glmark2 score of 
1565.  I was worried about the Quadro 600 card but after a default 
installation it is using the nVidia Quadro 600 driver and is performing 
well.


Put this out there in case someone else is looking.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Cinelerra-GG

[Mike Squires]

I'm trying to build a toolkit to create videos of musicians playing 
together as in the Chad LB video of Coltrane's "Giant Steps", but using 
open source tools.  I would like to do this in the Ubuntu Studio 
environment rather than just installing AVLinux.


I've done a little, including a video that merged a video track shot 
with a smartphone with an audio track recorded using a Zoom H4 using 
OpenShot; it worked well.  However, OpenShot can't as far as I know 
allow the windowing of video streams as the audio content changes and I 
don't see that in KDEenlive either.


One package that I have a little experience with is Cinelerra.  I had 
previously played with Cinelerra-CV but it appears that this project has 
been merged with Cinelerra-GG.


An attempt to install Cinelerra-GG from the cinelerra-gg.org web site 
failed.  There are instructions to install onto 18.04 but the directory 
did not exist.  I assume that the project has newer files under 
development, but I don't really know that.


On a chance I ran the code that downloaded the current cinelerra5 source 
code from the "git" archive which worked.  Much to my surprise, given 
the complexity of the package, configuration, compilation, and 
installation of cinelerra-gg succeeded using the instructions for a 
"shared BUILD" in the README found in the root directory of the source 
distribution.  One warning:  the compilation ran all 8 cores of my dual 
quad Xeon at 100% for quite a while, although other applications could 
be run at the same time they were definitely slowed down.


It configured, compiled, and installed.  Execution from a launcher also 
worked.  I've only read in a .MOV file that I'd already created and 
played it, and that also worked.


I'm quite a bit out of my depth as a programmer here, but I've been 
compiling and installing things on my FreeBSD systems for years and 
following that path seems to be working OK.


The path used by others has been to send out a click track with charts 
for the rhythm section.  Once the rhythm section audio is merged it is 
then send to the section leaders, if any and the result of that process 
is merged and then sent to the section members.  The result of this 
process is then sent to the soloists and the final merge of audio tracks 
and video tracks is then done on something like Cinelerra.  The 
individual recordings can be done as simply as shooting video from a 
smartphone but a separate recording on better equipment is of course a 
good idea.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Ubuntu studio has to be restarted

[Mike Squires]

Are you talking about the screensaver which in the default configuration 
blanks the screen and requires a password to get back to your desktop?


If so, go to Settings Manager (in "All", among other places) and choose 
"Screensaver".  It appears the default is to enable the screensaver and 
activate when the computer is idle.  I assume, but haven't tested, that 
you can just disable the screensaver.  If you just want to change the 
length of time until the Screensaver starts open the menu (quadruple 
horizontal bars to the lower left of the "Preview" screen) and change 
those settings.  This won't apparently disable the system being locked 
when "System Sleep" activates (change with "Power Manager".


I'm an experienced Un*x user but not an experienced Studio user, so take 
my comments with that understanding.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] ubuntustudio-controls does not run

[Mike Squires]

I doubt this will help, but I can demonstrate that the control does open 
and appear to work on my system.


I'm running Ubuntu Studio 19.10 but am running the generic kernel since 
(my guess) the low latency kernel causes problems for my 3ware 9750-4 
SATA RAID card.  Symptom is very slow disk performance.


Hardware is probably very different from yours, also; a Supermicro dual 
quad core 55xx Xeon system with sound through a M-Audio Delta 66 card.


Installation was standard, except that I loaded the generic kernel 
(5.3.13-050313-generic) to solve my disk I/O problem.


My only problem is that the "Envy24 Control" utility used to manage the 
sound card does not store the profile as earlier version did.


I can start and manipulate the Ubuntu Studio Controls window (didn't try 
changing any parameter, effect would be unknown).


I did get a lot of messages when executing the control from a terminal 
session; of the following format repeated many times:


Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1,

[ubuntu-studio-users] apparmor and application use of NFS mounted shares

[Mike Squires]

I have my active files stored on a home server (FreeBSD) exported via 
NFS 4 and mounted by /etc/fstab:


opteron16:/large/home/mikes /media/opteron16/mikes nfs 
auto,nofail,noatime,nolock,intr,tcp,actimeo=1800    0   0


Apparmor blocks opening a file with Audacity but allows LibreOffice to 
open a file:


Aug 15 09:49:59 ubuntu kernel: [765471.442846] audit: type=1400

Apparmor appear to ignore directory permissions.

How do I change this behavior?  I'm trying to manage a 1.3 TB personally 
recorded music archive kept on the NFS mounted server.

[ubuntu-studio-users] 19.04 install on system that didn't like 18.04 succeeds, with one issue

[Mike Squires]

I after running 16.04 for some time I tried to upgrade to 18.04. The 
install did not fail, but the resulting system was excruciatingly slow - 
minutes for changes in a window.  Running it without the extensions did 
not help.  I wondered if this was due to the Spectre fixes, since the 
CPUs are a bit complex.


19.04 install went well but extracting my home directory, a 421 gb file, 
was taking many hours.  "iostat" indicated 2mb/sec rate. I tried booting 
16.04 and running from the install disk; this completed in two hours.


Only other problem has been a slowdown in a VirtualBox Windows 7 x64 
image.  I traced part of the problem to the HP 8710 driver which behaved 
normally under 16.04 (with an obsolete version of VirtualBox, v5) but 
was not happy with VirtualBox 6.06 which is current.


Only other problem was "unixbench"; the version from "Software" ran 
properly under 16.04 but the version currently available, which appears 
to be the same, crashed with an "illegal instruction" error.  
Downloading the source and compiling it created a version that ran 
correctly.  Text and HTML output is attached.


Hardware is a Supermicro X7DAE dual Xeon 5300 quad core motherboard 
(have 2 5472 CPUs on order) using a 3ware 9750 SATA/RAID controller.  
Video is an ATI/AMD 5000 series PCI-E card; sound is via an M-Audio card 
which is correctly controlled by "envy64control".


I am now set up for a quick swap of boot devices (RAID 1 off the 3ware 
card) so will be happy to test versions as they come out.


In case anyone is curious - I ran a Tandy 16B at work, and another at 
home starting in 1986, using Radio Shack XENIX/68, a UNIX v7 port by 
Microsoft for the Apple Lisa licensed to Tandy. Thanks to the backup 
tools and cross-system portability of the UNIX variants my home file 
system has never been lost through disk failures and contains files with 
creation dates back in the 1980's.  I ran SCO variants for a while, and 
in 1990 started using 386BSD and FreeBSD which I still use on my 
back-end servers.

Greetings Ubuntu Studio team!

I have been using Ubuntu Studio for many years and love it. I just 
installed the 19.04 release and think the default theme and look are 
gorgeous and functional. Thanks so much for the update! I'm now 
installing it over my machines that have been running 16.04 and those 
I have recently upgraded to 18.04.


I realize that the development team is small and wish I had the time 
to help out. Naturally, I can "throw money" at the problem but realize 
that doesn't, necessarily, solve development problems. This prompts 
the following question:


What can your loyal users do to help Ubuntu Studio avoid the fate of 
so many distros that have shuttered??
I can post teasers about Ubuntu Studio on my twitter feed or post 
articles about it on my Facebook page but I'd would appreciate input 
from the dev team about what would be the most useful form of support 
for someone who doesn't have time to wade through the buglist and code.

What do YOU want us to do to help your efforts?

I am a scientist who is also a creator (music, photography, and 
digital painting) and the default Ubuntu Studio install has about 80% 
of the tools I need to do my job and explore my hobbies right out of 
the box. This saves me SO much time and I truly appreciate that!


All my best,

Chris

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Date formats gone wrong in 18.04

[Mike Squires]

How did you upgrade?

I've been upgrading by making a copy of my entire /home/ 
directory, doing a fresh install using some other name, creating the 
was created back in the 1980's and has stayed with me), adjusting user 
privileges, then restoring my /home/ directory and then rebooting 
and logging in as .  This will eventually bite me in the foot when 
there are changes in applications but so far it's worked, and my entire 
user space remains the same including things like desktops, etc., as I 
upgrade.


I'm also running a couple of applications that I still need access to 
under VirtualBox/Windows 7 x64; this works OK although I sometimes have 
to turn Norton Security off.  It's actually much faster to get into the 
app than rebooting into Windows 7 with its interminable waits during the 
boot process.  My desktop. however, has 2 quad core Xeon processors and 
20 GB of RAM so assigning resources to the Windows 7 virtual machine 
doesn't hurt performance much.


The version of VirtualBox supported by Ubuntu is no longer supported by 
Oracle; I could have done an install from Oracle but instead found a 
copy of the options ISO elsewhere and used it to get to the various 
features of VirtualBox only supported by the options.


Reliability of Ubuntu Studio is now much better than my native Windows 7 
x64 system running on the same machine, and it is faster.


Thanks!

But, now in all other programs, the date formats are in US format,

Despite the en_GB locale file seeming to have all the right settings,

So how can I get it have Sunday as first day of week, and all date

I'm not sure how to answer this, but I can tell you that there was 
nothing substantially modified between 16.04 and 18.04 in terms of 
configuration, so there might be a configuration discrepency in your 
~/.config folder.


My recommendation to you is to ask this question on AskUbuntu 
(askubuntu.com) to get as many eyeballs as possible on this. There's a 
good chance that somebody ran into the same issue and figure it out. 
AskUbuntu is for all flavors of Ubuntu, including Ubuntu Studio and 
Xubuntu, which are the two that use Xfce by default.


There's also a good chance someone in this mailing list figures it out 
too!


I did, however, see that you posted this same question in the Facebook 
group, and since that's not a technical support forum but rather a 
collaboration and artistic forum, I will be closing it for comments.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Firefox problem after update

[Mike Squires]

I'm running Ubuntu Studio, 16.04; after the most recent updates Firefox 
was broken.  A quick removal and re-installation fixed the problem (used

[ubuntu-studio-users] Upgrades

[Mike Squires]

My crude method of upgrading is to do the following:

(1)  tar cvf //.tar  in the 
/home directory (all commands until "log out" assume "sudo" or running 
in an xterm window with super-user rights)


(2)  Make a copy of the list of installed software

(3)  Itemize changes to files in /etc that were necessary and copy those 
files to 


Install the new version which wipes out the entire Ubuntu Studio 
partition, making sure the  is not on-line. The user I 
create is not my regular user name which allows me to make necessary 
changes on the system before restoring my user files.  Both user names 
get "sudo" permission, of course.


Make necessary changes to the new system using the alternate UID, 
including creating my new user account using the UID/GID I've chosen.  I 
do this since I can't easily mount SMB directories exported via "samba3" 
but can easily NFS mount the same directories if UID/GID equivalence is 
maintained.  This also avoids problems I've had with permissions when 
using SMB mounts.


Rename /home/ to /home/.old

From /home execute tar xvf //.tar name>


Check UID/GID of new /home directory

Log out, log back in as 

This seems to avoid problems I've had with upgrades; I came to Studio 
from FreeBSD where something like this was a more reliable method than 
upgrading from one major version to the next.  This also creates a 
backup of user files.


There will, of course, be problems created sometimes if a change in the 
installed software is not compatible with some part of the restored user 
environment, but I have yet to run into that.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Dual display problem solved.

[Mike Squires]

I have two HP 2511x HD displays connected to my Ubuntu Studio 
workstation, currently running 18.04.


With the previous ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder card some applications were 
able to display over all parts of the two displays, some were not.  
Windows would vanish about 1/3 of the way to the right on the secondary 
display.  For example, "xterm" had no problems but "Terminal Emulator" 
did.  I replaced the All-in-Wonder, with its 256Mb of memory, with an 
AMD Radeon 5550 card with 1GB of RAM. (Probably needed anyway, the 
All-in-Wonder fell apart, as others have, when removed as bad solder 
joints failed).


This solved the problem.

I am hoping that this change also solves my problems with upgrading to

[ubuntu-studio-users] Problem with two HD monitors

[Mike Squires]

I have two HP 27" HD (1080P) monitors.  They are set up so that my 
desktop extends across both monitors.  Left monitor is "1" and right is "2".


Ubuntu Studio 18.04, Radeon R430 (X800 XL) video card; motherboard is a 
SuperMicro X7DAE with two Xeon E5335 CPUs (quad-core).  Disk uses a 
3ware 9550-8.


The problem I have is that some applications disappear when they get 
about 1/2 of the way across the second monitor.  This does not appear as 
the window is moved to the bottom anywhere, just as the window is moved 
to the right on the second monitor.


For example, the "Terminal Emulator" that appears in the menu 
disappears; if I execute "xterm &" in that window the xterm instance 
does not vanish anywhere.


It seems to have to do with the method in which the video is addressed; 
if I knew more I suspect that knowing that "Terminal Emulator" 
disappears while "xterm" does not would give me the answer, but I don't.


The Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email program, executed from the 
menu, do not have this behavior.


This behavior is specific to Ubuntu Studio; it does not appear when I 
dual-boot into Windows 7, nor did it appear when the same hardware was 
running FreeBSD over several versions.


Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Mike Squires

[ubuntu-studio-users] CIFS mounts using 18.04

[Mike Squires]

The following worked with 16.x:

//opteron16/home/mikes /media/opteron16/mikes cifs 
credentials=/home/mikes/.smbcredentials,uid=7961,gid=4001 0 0


but it fails with 18.04.

I've converted it to an NFS mount (haven't worked out the options):

10.1.5.161:/large/home/mikes /media/opteron16/mikes nfs auto    
0   0


Using NTLM v 1 for CIFS also fails.

A Google search hasn't turned up a working solution.

Can anyone point me to a solution?  Not a real problem here since I have 
a workaround.  Server runs NFS 4 but samba 3 which probably is part of 
the problem (FreeBSD).


I did upgrade to 18.04 by doing a "tar cvf" of the user directory to a 
USB hard drive, reinstalling, and copying the user directory back.  So 
far no problems.  I did copy items in /etc that needed to be changed to 
what I was using with 16.x, but that's pretty simple.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Dual-head 1080P setup - some windows can'[t be moved on the far end of the secondary monitor

[Mike Squires]

I have a home desktop running Ubuntu Studio 16.04 (Supermicro X7DAE, 
dual Xeon, ATI R430 card with two HP 1080P monitors set up as a single 
3840x1080 pixel window.


Some application windows - the "Print" dialog box when printing from 
"evince" is an example - disappear when moved more than about 25% of the 
way to the far edge of secondary monitor.


This does not happen with most applications.  If the left edge of the 
window is visible then the window can usually be dragged to the left so 
that the entire window can be seen (and used).  This would not be a 
problem except that some applications seem to have their own ideas about 
where to open dialog boxes like the "Print" window.


This system dual-boots Windows 7 Enterprise (Ubuntu Studio is now more 
stable for me) and I don't see this with Windows 7.


I'm wondering if there is a library that has a built-in limit of the 
width of a window that is much less than 3840.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Problem with 18.04 and CIFS share mount

[Mike Squires]

The following entry in my /etc/fstab file on an Ubuntu Studio client 
running 16.04 mounts the CIFS share on the FreeBSD 10 server running 
Samba 3 without problems:


//opteron16/share /media/opteron16/share cifs 
credentials=/home/mikes/.smbcredentials,uid=7961,gid=4001 0 0


It doesn't work with 18.04.  I was able to get it to work by using NTLM 
but that workaround has also stopped working, apparently with the latest 
security fixes.


Rather than try to solve it I've worked around it; I've gone through and 
changed the UID and GID of my user ID on the Ubuntu Studio boxes to what 
it is on the FreeBSD boxes and now just do an NFS mount, which works fine.


The message I get in 18.04 is that the mount can only be performed by root.

I'm not the only one with this problem, saw a number of references 
online to the problem in 18.xx Ubuntu versions.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Mounting SMB shares from Ubuntu Studio 18.04

[Mike Squires]

The /etc/fstab entry that I used with previous versions doesn't work 
with 18.04.  The following procedure did:


(1)    Create mount point; I used /media//

(2)    chmod 755 : 
/


(3)    Create a file in your home directory called ".smbcredentials".  
Put the following in it:


        username=

        password=

        (In my case the Ubuntu and SMB server user name and SMB 
passwords are the same; I also have same UID and GID on the Ubuntu 
server as on the FreeBSD server hosting the SMB shares.  Your case may vary)


        Run "chmod 600 ./.smbcredentials to close access to others.

(4)    For each share, add the following to the /etc/fstab file:

/// /media//smb share> cifs 
credentials=/home//.smbcredentials,uid=on the SMB server>,gid=server>,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm,vers=1.0 0 0


Note that this assumes your server can support NTLM v 1.0 authentication 
which, if my memory serves me correctly, is not true for recent MS 
Windows SMB implementations and may not be turned on for recent Samba 
installations.  However, not using "vers=1.0" didn't work.


(5)    Run "sudo mount -a" to check your /etc/fstab file and correct 
errors, if any.


There must be a better way of doing this but I haven't found it, yet.  
I'm obviously more familiar with the UN*X side than the Ubuntu side so 
if there are errors here, please correct.


I've found Ubuntu Studio to be blazingly fast on my HP Envy 17T 
notebook, and the apps have been more reliable than similar or the same 
app on my desktop (dual boots MS Windows 7 Enterprise and Ubuntu 
Studio).  The only app I really need for which there isn't a real 
replacement for me is Sibelius 8 with the AudioScore and PhotoScore 
options; I am trying to see if I can run them in a "xen" instance.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Problem booting 18.04 DVD and workaround

[Mike Squires]

My first attempt to upgrade from 16.10 to 18.04 (interested in assisting 
in creating LTS version) failed when the installation failed with an 
error that I was unable to copy.


I accidentally found the workaround by booting to the "run from DVD" 
option which allows the installation program to be started within that 
shell.  This ran far enough that I got to the commit to erase the old 
installation which I was unwilling to do at that time.


I will repeat this process (with a camera handy) but thought that the 
workaround was worth reporting.


Hardware is a Supermicro X7DAE motherboard with 2 Xeon CPUs, 4 cores 
each, 2 GHz; disk controller is a 3Ware 9500 supporting a single boot 
drive and a RAID 5 5 disk second array.  I have been using it to do some 
low-grade editing of videos filmed on an iPhone 6 and merging the video 
with audio recorded on a Zoom H2N. Sound output is via a M-Audio card.


I also run Studio on an HP Envy laptop and an older Dell 6230 laptop, 
the latter because of the cheap availability of the multi-monitor 
docking station.


I have to report that Ubuntu Studio with options (mainly the current 
version of OpenShot and Cinelerra-CV) are more reliable than the same 
system booting Windows 7 with the MS version of OpenShot, and I find 
Clementine a better music library system for me than iTunes at this point.


Thank you, Ubuntu Studio developers.

sure.. i would get a *known* good audio file.. one of your reference files,
for example, something like a simple and well supported *ogg that you know
works. then, i would try and remove as much of the clutter from these
scenarios as possible, and test each part, as independently as possible.

first, close jack, and dont open it, or start it, or, start *anything* that
would try and autostart it in the background until you see that the audio
device you are trying to use supports linux as you need it to.. for
example, does the HDMI port support linux at all? will it work? or does it
work with linux? i would get my known-good audio file playing with
something simple, such as VLC *not* using the jack driver, and use
pavucontrol to route the signal to the different outputs of the device. if
i cant make VLC play an ogg file through the HDMI output using pavucontrol
to route the signal, then, there really is no need to try JACK with any of
the pro-audio tools..

so, does your HDMI audio output support linux? thats the first question i
would answer. and, since the company you bought the hardware from likely
promise you support for windows, and paid a team of professionals to test
and facilitate that windows support, they likely didnt do the same for
linux. in this case, it'll be up to you to provide support for it, if alsa
and the linux kernel can do so..

suggestions:

no need to be in the niche support venue of ubuntustudio for this,
necessarily. you can use the main ubuntu support, or, more general linux
support avenues, which may have more users in them.

try many different live ISO's and see what different kernels and alsa
versions do on the hardware, and if the hardware supports them better.. you
can note what kernel and alsa versions the hardware support (if any), and
that can help you provide support in your current installation of
ubuntustudio.

use the general audio troubleshooting pages for ubuntu
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio

share what hardware you are using... hardware revisions, specifically.. for
example, if i google search the lenovo G50, all lenovo has to do is provide
windows drivers for all hardware they create and release under that model
name. there can be many different chipsets and chipset revisions under the
same model name..

look for *anyone* using the same hardware chipset and HDMI output on any
linux distro, and see if they talk about how that works for them on a
forum, etc..

cheers, and good luck

 I think I have found the solution. I still have to test it more in depth,

 I uninstalled it and now it seems to work just fine.

 So, if anyone else might have this problem of jackd not wanting to start

 pulse-jack sink: remove pulseaudio-module-jack.


i typically leave it in place, in case, for some reason, i would need it,
in the future, but, i just disable the dbus in the qjackctl settings.. dbus

 And it's not my first day using ubuntustudio, I'm not a beginner, using

 I never had any problem with exiting jack to start it again later on.
 Secondly I do use the internet to communicate too, not just to browse
 around a little, talking to other people who make music, browsing for
 samples, etc...

 I do not intend to invest in a second machine and I do expect my
 computer to handle audio work and some simple tasks as typing a letter of
 browsing the internet. I simply don't have the funds for it and I don't
 want to scale the philosophy of for each task a different program up to
 for each task a different computer.

 greetz,


 at this point, for me, personally, i would go forward. i would test in
 15.10, and see if it works there. file a bug, or join a bug, and move on..
 otherwise, im not talking about a requiring a physical machine per task. im
 just suggesting, potentially having a different installation on the same
 machine, where, one is catering to desktop use, and the other is catering
 to audio production. not that this is a key factor. no doubt, it *should*
 ideally be working to do what you are wanting to do. but, i find, dealing
 with firewire to be especially challenging.

 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.

 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?

 Bart

 happens, exiting jack and trying to start it again, even when I keep the
 device on, I don't get jack working anymore.

 And it's not my first day using ubuntustudio, I'm not a beginner, using it
 sort of hapily for 7 years now, so I do have some experience. Until now I
 never had any problem with exiting jack to start it again later on.
 Secondly I do use the internet to communicate too, not just to browse
 around a little, talking to other people who make music, browsing for
 samples, etc...

 I do not intend to invest in a second machine and I do expect my computer
 to handle audio work and some simple tasks as typing a letter of browsing
 the internet. I simply don't have the funds for it and I don't want to
 scale the philosophy of for each task a different program up to for each
 task a different computer.

 greetz,


at this point, for me, personally, i would go forward. i would test in
15.10, and see if it works there. file a bug, or join a bug, and move on..
otherwise, im not talking about a requiring a physical machine per task. im
just suggesting, potentially having a different installation on the same
machine, where, one is catering to desktop use, and the other is catering
to audio production. not that this is a key factor. no doubt, it *should*
ideally be working to do what you are wanting to do. but, i find, dealing
with firewire to be especially challenging.

cheers, and good luck!

 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

 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

wrote:

 thanks for the ideas, but again, these are not solutions.
 let me explain the problem again in real life:

 1. I start claudia, run ardour4 for a recording, then I decide to stop
 after an hour.

 2. I exit ardour, shut down my soundcard (remember: power-consumption)
 which kills jack, because it has no soundcard to run anymore, or I first
 stop the studio in claudia and then turn off my external soundcard.



i dont shutdown my soundcard with with jack running. if i would lose power
to it,either on purpose, by accidentally shutting it down, or, losing power
to it, i would expect to deal with resetting jack, by having to forcefully
find and kill the process, or whatever it takes



 3.and I go surfing a bit as a break.

 4. Then I want to start again, fire up my external soundcard and I want to
 run claudia again to launch my apps, like ardour, guitarix, etc...



if this is the exact workflow, please stop jack, *first*, then, surf a bit
as a break, which, you can surf a bit as a break with jack running, and,
you should actually look into what you are saving financially by powering
the audio hardware down.. likely, not much, if anything you would actually
notice



 5. only to discover jack won't start anymore.

 6. Only solution so far: log out and log in again


yes, logout, and back in, when you break jack like that.. or, you can
reboot.. or, i will also open a terminal and use this command to see what
is running related to jack.. ps aux | grep jack ..i will see jack
running, in whatever state, and hopefully be able to kill whatever
processes are broken



 I hope this explains the problem better. I don't want to have to log out
 each time I have done something else  then audio-work for a while. I can't
 believe this is a normal thing to happen.


i also dual boot on my production rig. i dont expect to casually stop and
start jack, and have a machine that does audio production, and casual
desktop tasks such as internet browsing, etc.. though, one certainly can
have that, i just find the work flows of each to be a bit
counter-intuitive, and, its not helpful or necessary for me to force both
onto one install.. so, i have one install that is specifically catered for
audio production, that actually works more as an appliance, and is not
online, doenst get, or need to get updates, unless i specifically need or
want something, and is basically in a frozen state. i can then easily
reboot into the other partition that is a standard linux install, if i want
to, for example go surfing a bit as a break, and for some reason, i dont
have one of my other main portable laptops with desktop installations on
them handy.. typically, if i want a break from the studio machine, i get
away from the studio, or at least, i move from the chair.. it all depends
on what fits your needs..

i see it as the biggest issue here.. you are expecting jack to be ok with
you shutting the power off to the device, and  turning it back on. without
stopping jack first. *also*, you could be changing lthe alsa labels, which
happens, and finding that what jack used to be configured to use has
powered back up into another label.

i say, just dont do that. dont cut power to the audio device to try and
save power while you are taking a break surfing for a bit, and all should
be fine. if that is something that is mission critical and important to
you, check that you are stopping jack *before* cutting the power, and see
that the alsa labels are not changing when you bring the device back online.

also, i have seen, in my years of testing certain usb and firewire devices
i have owned, or have/had access to, that dont specifically promise support
for linux, that, some of them *must* be connected to the machine at boot. i
had a specific laptop, firewire pci card, firewire audio device combination
that would *not* be seen by the os, a linux os, if the machine was booted
up, and i tried to add the hardware after boot. i *had* to have the
hardware connected, and then boot the machine. so, in your scenario, where,
if i wanted to stop jack and casually power the interface down, due to who
knows what part of the stack, the hardware will *not* be seen by the os
when i power it back up, im not saying that is specifically happening to
you, but, its something to be aware of.

when dealing with an interface that specifically promises support for,
likely, 2 other operating systems, not linux, one may have to expect and
accept compromises. and, i dont think it is realistic to expect to casually
power up and down audio interfaces.

cheers

 Bart

I would check in my settings for hydrogen, and make sure that it's set to

pavucontrol. With that tool, you should be able to route hydrogen to the

 Hi,

 I want to download a daily build to make a minimal install, similar to

 Is it possible to get something like a minimal install [1], when using
 the Ubuntu Studio 15.10 daily build [2]?

 Is it possible to prohibit installation of GRUB or is installation of
 GRUB enforced, so that I need to remove it after it's installed?

 Could it be done using another flavour, e.g. Lubuntu 15.10 daily
 build?


There are daily builds for all 15.10 flavors. 15.10 is not released yet.
There are prebuilt  ISOs for 15.04 that are released and supported. There
is an actual mini 15.04 ISO. Otherwise, you probably want the server flavor
of 15.10 if you want it early, before release and support. You can choose
it, install a minimal setup, and build up what you like. AFAIK, the
official minimal ISO isn't made early.

 You may also select nothing and just continue to finish the
 installation. If you selected nothing, upon reboot you will arrive at a

Are you meeting all the requirements that Facebook has? What version of

easily available with the chrome browser. You can troubleshoot if it is
flash related by trying the chrome browser and it's included flash to

  Hi,


welcome, tony!



 My name is Tony Bienstocke (pseudonym), and I really enjoy using Linux.
 Recently, I discovered Ubuntu Studio and have been trying to install it.
 (More on this in a paragraph or so)

 I am trying to possibly get into the publishing industry or the movie
 industry, and I thought that I could whet my appetite with Ubuntu Studio. I
 do have a bit of Linux knowledge, and I hope this will increase it. And
 hopefully, I’ll be able to contribute to this community as well.


you should be aware of what limitations your specific industry may locally
place on you. make sure you dont have the need for software that doesnt
support linux, such as, protools.. we have many ample tools for most any
work flow, and if you are on your own, and dont need to work with others,
you can use the tools provided with no issue.



 The only problem is I’ve had trouble installing it on my PC, so I have two
 questions.


1. What is the username for the “Other…” account in the live cd (in
this case, USB)? I tried “Try Ubuntu Studio without making changes to your
PC” and also the “Install Ubuntu Studio” and the OEM install. All three of
them ask for a username and password of the “Other….” account. I
tried “ubuntu” without a password, then “ubuntu” with that as it's password
also, and it doesn't let me in. Personally, I think this needs to be
changed where there is no login for the live usb/dvd. But in the meantime,
what’s the creds for logging in? I googled around, but I couldn’t find
anything.


there is typically no need to login to run the live iso, or install. what
iso are you using? let me suggest the 32 or 64bit version from here
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/15.04/release/ that fits
your needs best. you  can also check the md5 sum of the download to make
sure you have a good downloaded iso.



1. I have a PC running Win8.1 and I want to dual boot with Ubuntu
Studio on another partition. The only think that is making me wary is that
I’ve read that UEFI, Windows Boot Loader, and some other things can
conflict with the installation of Ubuntu Studio (or just Linux in general)
and it's own bootloader. What do I need to be wary of? I’ve turned off fast
startup, and I’ve also turned off Windows To Go. I am unable to turn off
the Secure Boot, but the live USB seems to boot up fine. (I can’t log in,
as you already know). Are there any guidelines or tips or even a step by
step that someone could provide me?


i would say, sure.. be wary.. but, lets address that concern. why are you
concerned? you dont want to lose your windows install, and 'break
anything. this is a fact.. that hard drive *will* fail.. they all do.. so,
before doing *anything*, go ahead, right now, and make sure, all your data
is backed up, and you have a way to reinstall windows, and/or, an image of
that drive, and the recovery partition. keep in mind, though, this doesnt
make things simpler for you, these are facts.. you are not promised by the
creators of that computer that you can install linux, or any other
operating system you choose. also, linux is not preventing you from
installing it on the hardware, or, the creators of the hardware from
supporting it... that being said, i suggest, plan for total failure, and
you'll be ok, no matter what happens..you can refer to
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI

also, what i used to do, on a desktop machine, was simply have another hard
drive that i would choose to boot from the bios.. this made me feel
safer, though, its not necessary, for sure.. or actually any safer. in my
experience, ubuntu worked well with my uefi hardware.



 Thanks,

 Tony



cheers, and welcome to the community.. let us know how it goes..

It really doesn't matter which version of Windows ships on the machine. It
only matters how well the hardware support Linux. Try and take a granular
look at what hardware is inside the unit, and you can usually cross
reference for Linux support, at least generally. See if you can go to a box
store, and running live usb on the actual hardware. See if it's possible,
without any restocking fees, or shipping, for you to try the unit and see
if it meets your needs, and return it if it doesn't. Call the company and
ask them if they sell it, shipping with Linux preinstalled.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] looking for a secure and private linux distro, with the following . . .

welcome Rick!

  Well, after the Windows 10 icon pops up, telling me to upgrade . . .
 I started thinking, I not going to pay a subscription fee to MS.. heck no.


in my opinion, this is not enough reason to switch to linux, and have a
successful time. you should want to use linux because its the best tool for
the particular job, then, it will fit the needs you have, and you will
enjoy it.


 But, I been looking around the net, trying to find a linux distro,
 that has:

 1. Secure ( From THEME, and Malware..etc..etc..etc.. )
 2. Privacy ( From THEME, and Spyware...etc.etc..etc. )


these are really quite relative, and can also be a matter of opinion, and
actually, largely the responsibility of the user. anyone can misuse any OS,
and have issues with security and privacy. nothing about ubuntustudio
specifically addresses these, so, i suggest going upstream, or a larger
community project, such as xubuntu.. some say, theres no such thing as
privacy online.. and, that can be true, on many levels.. having a good
user password, and keeping updates current, and doing best practices
(like, not running random things as root/sudo) is typically all a normal
linux desktop user needs to worry with, depending on work flow..


 3. Audio Media Playback... mp3, flac..and all other lossless formats meta
 data editing..etc.
 4. Video Media Playback mkv.. ogg..DVD...etc..etc.


ubuntustudio is more about the creation of content. the playback of most of
what you mention here can be easily added to ubuntu, and most free
distros. they are not allowed to ship support for mp3/dvd out of the box
due to restrictions from the license holders. be sure to look them up, and
let them know that you would like for them to make it so that support can
be included for what you want to use out of the box on linux, and other
free os's.. otherwise, you can use a distro that basically doesnt follow
that rule (linux mint?), or, add support following these wiki pages..
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats ..these pages will
outline facts and guides, and be applicable to any/all official ubuntu
flavors.


 5. Need a small database NOTE taking app, that I can copy a web page text
 or email text,
 and save that as a record. be able to print out and selected text records,
 and search records,
 and do sub searches..


 6. general office apps... and wireless printer support..


these are in the general ubuntu repos.. again, i say, since you dont really
need anything ubuntustudio is specifically providing, try one of the
larger, more desktop focused flavors.. xubuntu, ubuntu-mate, or just main
ubuntu.. the wireless printer support can be more challenging. if the
wireless printer is an ip printer, you can usually easily just print to
it from anything on the network. if not, and the manufacturer specifically
states on the box we support windows and OSX, then, they have not
promised you linux support. typically, there is good community support for
most printers. i would load up a live iso, and just see if it magically
works, keeping in mind that, nothing about linux is preventing it from
working. all of linux and ubuntu is completely open, if the creators of
that and any other hardware want to support it, they are welcome to, and
you can let them know, and invite them to do so..


cheers!

 Everything looks good except the microphone does not work me.

 I've been using audacity to try to record my voice and I've been using
 the different options out there in the Devices, but nothing.

 It is not a hardware problem, I have also installed Windows 8.1 (dual
 boot) and you can hear and record perfect perfect.

 In audacity devices out correctly identified, apparently. Youtube,
 movies and music are heard perfect.

 The sound card is the motherboard GA-Z97X-SLI

 These are the data of the sound card, it is the plate.

 And the output of lspci -v

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] HDMI problems with Popcorn Time

 I get audio noise when watching PopCorn Time on my TV connected to my

 The same doesn't happen when using Popcorn Time through HDMI in Windows in
 the same computer.

 It's also no problem to watch YouTube, for example, even in Linux through
 HDMI.

 Speakers and earphones work fine. I only get problems with HDMI in Linux
 and in Popcorn Time.

 Has anyone had similar problems? Any suggestions?

 I'm using Ubuntu Studio 14.04.2 LTS.

 Thanks in advance!


one would think that a buzz or hum would be from actual hardware
connections, and not have much to do with the software/drivers.. so, what i
might do is, get the noise happening, via hdmi, then, i would open
alsamixer, and enable *all* controls, and try tweaking settings there,
thinking that, maybe a loop is being created somehow, where, a noise is
being introduced, though, i think that is not likely. it could be as simple
as the device not providing good linux support. what i might do is simply
check for, and apply any updates available, then, i would try different
live iso's. live iso's allow an easy way to try hardware with different
kernels/drivers and alsa versions. i would unplug everything but the HDMI
from the machine, and test.. and also, consider recording it, so that a
volunteer could try and identify the sound as a ground loop, or a hard
drive/fan noise, etc.. cheers

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] compatibility of motherboards with Ubuntu 14.04

 G'day all .
 I am not a top hand with Linux but I have been using it for a few years
 now, I am wanting to upgrade my mother board to a new one.
 Ok easy  you say , but not so , I find a lot are not compatible with
 Ubuntu 14.04 or below.
 I am at a loss to buy one that I cannot use as a dedicated Ubuntu desk top
 machine.
 Could any one Please tell me how to find a board Gaming or work station
 abilities. I am at the point of saying to hell with it and buy a board and
 if it is not compatible commit suicide and go with windows and go bald
 pulling my hair, out with frustration.
 hope you can help me.
 my regards Donald .



ideally, it will be the manufacturer of the hardware that promises linux
support.. nothing about linux/ubuntu prevents support for *any* hardware.
we dont block support for anything, and its all completely open.

some facts that may help:

if you buy a motherboard, if the manufacturer promises windows support,
then, if they change something, they provide windows drivers, and they have
fulfilled the agreement they promise. what does this mean? it mean, *if* i
have a motherboard, lets say, a certain asus motherboard, and i report to
you it works perfect in linux and you buy that *exact* same model, what
can, and often does happen is, the actual chipsets can change on that same
model hardware. you'll see rev2, rev 3.2 etc.. this can make it
challenging to maintain a list of promised working linux hardware. and,
nothing is broken to be fixed, since, the manufacturers are always
welcome to provide either linux support to you, or, the information for
linux developers to support it in the modular kernel.

in the future, your hard drive *will* fail, as will all.. so, i say, go
ahead and plan for that, and backup your system, and/or important files..
plan for that drive failing, and you'll be able to more easily migrate to
the new hardware if that hard drive doesnt just work when you plug it in
on the new motherboard

i have changed motherboards quite a few times, and, as long as im aware of
the GPU drivers, and do not leave a proprietary nvidia driver installed,
and configured on a system that im expecting to move to an integrated intel
GPU, i have literally had no issues. i have ran into unsupported NIC's,
but, always found acceptable work arounds..

anyways, i say, go for the price and the features you want in a
motherboard, and make sure you can return it, if the creators of it dont
explicitly promise linux support.. it really shouldnt be a problem these
days, where most hardware does have at least some level of support for
modern linux kernels..

cheers and good luck

 studio 14.04.

 Any idea? Thanks..


i installed tupi here, and i tested it, briefly, and it seems to work. but,
i dont use the software, so i dont know what you are talking about with
grouping and ungrouping.. myself, and other volunteers, will need more
help from you to be able to volunteer assistance. please file a bug report
with details about what the issue is, *specifically* with details, such as
i click this button, expecting this behavior for this reason and instead
get this behavior and share a screenshot to the button, if its not well
labeled. share the but report and details here, so that a volunteer can try
and replicate the issue. try replicating the issue yourself in a few ways.
with a live iso, try and see if you have the same exact issue. also, try
replicating the issue as the guest user, or as another user you create. try
creating a new project, and if it still does the same issue with the new
project, share that *exact* project file so that myself, or another
volunteer can open the same project you are having issues with...

if you are using a ppa, or a GIT version from the creators of tupi, and not
from the repos, then, you will get support straight from the creators of
the packages.. thanks..

  Cheers Mike. Currently my only machine is my Chromebook. I'm getting a
  MacBook Pro with Logic Pro 10 on Tuesday 8) so it won't be my main
 machine,
  but I'm going to put it on the Chromebook anyway. How does it perform?
 My
  Chromebook has 2 megs of RAM and a 32 gig ''hard'' drive...
 

  you're going to put what in the chromebook?
 kxstudio

 i have a c720 that im not interested in doing any audio production on..

 I won't be putting Linux on The MacBook; warranty etc, but I like studio.
 It feels like home.


i didnt suggest you should, but, you may want to review the warranty, if it
is a warranty where you cant change the software, since, you are adding
software to it..



 I used to use Logic  Reason at college in 2oo7/2oo8. A long time ago now
 it seems it seems now...


i used cubase and protools, and in school, digital performer


 I'll be mostly using The Chromebook for Amarok, 'video  photography work
 when I am out and about, and for the webcam etc and skype  cheese  I just
 love the molecule screensaver. And Catfish! What a name for a search
 engine. Have you seen the show Catfish on MTV? It's brilliant..


i just use my chromebook as a chromebook.. for a portable web machine with
a long battery life.. it shipped with audio players.. if i want to do video
or photography work, i do it on another machine.



 I know very little about KDE though. When I just had a tower; I made it
 myself,and no matter what I tried I just could not get a multi-display ie a
 vga monitor and hdmi monitor. Couldn't even boot an LXF bootable disk with
 only the HDMI monitor and disabled the vga, and took the card out. So I
 gave up on KDE a long time ago... To cut a long story short, THE END!
 ;) You know what I mean.


kxstudio is what it is.. you *dont* have to use kde with it. there is a
stock kxstudio image, just as we have a stock ubuntustudio image. the
stock ubuntu studio image ships with xfce.. the stock kxstudio image
ships with kde. one can install, for example, stock ubuntu or debian and
add falks kxstudio sources to debian or ubuntu, and run *literally*
whatever desktop one wants. whatever one is comfortable with. one can
install stock lubuntu, and have lxde, and add the ubuntustudio packages
from the default repos  and still use lxde.. one can then also add the
kxstudio ppa's to that same system and keep running lxde, and *not* use
kde. one can install ubuntustudio or kxstudio and add gnome to it.. or
enlightenment, or awesome, or *literally* whatever one wants...

though, it sounds like you had issues with other things than the desktop
environment KDE...

 I would try it myself, but at the mo, I can't any Chroots working! Put if
 back on Stable {I run Developer usually}{Unstable in the real world!},
 Powerwashed it etc, and it still won't work. Should be able to work it out
 myself, but at the mo, even:

 I should be able to work it out myself, but it's finding the time I

i run kxstudio,

a chroot is just that.. you can chroot what you like, and chroot is not
limited in any way to a chromebook.. thats just a relatively easy way to
keep the kernel and main OS on the chromebook and run normal linux
applications..

kxstudio adds sources to either ubuntu or debian. falk provides additional
software, as well as newer versions, for example, to ubuntu 14.04, to repo
applications. as with any of the distros, you can run whatever desktop
environment you like. you can install kxstudio or ubuntustudio and install
lxde or mate or *whatever*.. or, you can install main normal ubuntu with
unity, or the mini iso for ubuntu and add whatever you want,
openbox/awesome or KDE or whatever, and add whatever software you want from
the ubuntu repos or from falk's kxstudio repos.. i wouldnt expect chroot on
a chromebook to facilitate much in the way of production work.. i mean,
thats *not* what that hardware is about.. in the past, i have used netbooks
as appliances for audio specific tasks, such as stand-alone synths,
loopers, or media playback devices.. but, i was aware of the limitations of
the hardware. a chromebook is not made for audio production work. its meant
for low-power use and long battery life, and portability. i wouldnt expect
to just chroot into kxstudio and expect magic.. thats a good way to get
the wrong impression of kxstudio.. or, add a package that can cause
breakage.

cheers and good luck

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu

we dont even have the infrastructure in place to assist you in where and
how to help, but, ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu, and helping anywhere upstream,
such as debian, is relevant assistance. also, any documentation, since, as
you have noticed, many things are changing upstream, and the wikis get
outdated easily.

as far as controls, for you, as an end user, i say, just use the
operating system as-is and address issues as you have them. if you are
trying to address latency, and lowering it, thats something we can work
with you on. cheers!

 distros to upgrade to Ardour 3.5.403 and even states that it's
 irresponsible not to.

 My system, Ubuntu Studio 14.04, is still running Ardour 3.5.308~dfsg-1.
 I'm familiar with Ubuntu's policy of choosing the latest (or stablest)
 version of a program at the time of release and then sticking with that
 until the next ubuntu release.

 Now my questions are:

 1. I guess I should become a subscriber to get the latest and greatest
 version. How does that work in practice - I subscribe and then get access
 to a 'secret' PPA?


you can get a PPA that supplies newer packages, such as ardour. but, PPA's
are not officially supported by ubuntu, and, you will be on your own with
support, which, with the strong support team or ardour its self, that is
not a problem, just something to be aware of.


 2. Can someone explain to me the deeper meaning of version numbers?
 I mean, does the difference in version numbers (3.5.403 vs 3.5.308) really
 mean that the Ardour team released almost a hundred updates not
 incorporated into Ubuntu Studio 14.04?


you'd have to ask ardour team how they release, and the versions, though,
im sure they are not sequential.. but, ubuntu studio *is* ubuntu.. its
frozen. the versions of most software that the OS ships with, are what the
versions stay (except for example firefox, which is patched and updated)..
ubuntu is not a rolling release, so, when new versions of ardour come
out, they are *not* automatically updated. backporting a newer version of
ardour into the 14.04 LTS version, for example, since, its officially
supported for 3 years, can happen. more information at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports..

i say, try and just be aware of where the burden of support is.. what i
mean, is... you are using ubuntustudio. it ships with what it ships with..
those packages are tested, and built to run on that OS. *if* you need/want
a newer version, there are many ways to do that. for example, the PPAs you
reference.. but, *then*, its not ubuntu's package. its the creator of the
PPA's responsibility to support your package, and you may find that is not
ok with your needs..

also, if you want support from the ardour community, you will be asked, and
required to run the version from the ardour site. what do i do? i
personally decided to contribute, and i have access to download the latest
supported version from the ardour team, realizing, that running that
version means i go to the ardour team for support with it, not the ubuntu
team, since, its from the ardour team.

what do i suggest for you? regardless of what you are doing, or using, you
should have *good* backups.. have backups for your projects, so that *when*
your hard drive *does* fail (as all do) you will have a backup.. this will
have the added benefit of allowing you to address any issues you may or may
not have with ardour version instability. then, i say, just use the stock
version, unless you are having an issue, or want to use the latest from
ardour. as they saying goes, if it aint broke.. and it seems like you are
just researching potential problems with ardour and the operating system,
rather than trying to address a specific problem you are having..

Those are actually Windows applications. With wine, you are not guaranteed
support for applications that are not created for the operating system you
are using. All of Linux is completely open, and everyone, including the
creators of those software applications, are welcome to create native Linux
applications for you. If those companies do not create native applications
for Linux, then you may have to except the compromise that the applications
do not work, since you are promised support for a completely different
operating system. There is nothing that Ubuntu studio is doing to prevent
those applications from working, but there is also a little we can do to
facilitate their functioning properly, since they are not Linux
applications. I suggest joining the wine community, and sharing your exact
errors, and seeing if you can get the applications working acceptably.
Cheers and good luck.

Crouton uses your current chromeOS kernel and makes a chroot of a Linux
distro providing Ubuntu packages via the Ubuntu repos. If your host
chromeOS is 64 bit, then the chroot of crouton can be. Crouton is not
Ubuntu, so you ask for support at and with crouton specifically. Cheers!

 Howdy folks. I'm running 64 bit Unicorn Studio. Installed the KDE

So, it's not a password problem. You can reset the config files in your
users home. Typically I just rename ~/.config and test. I think step one
for you is to identify your problem for what it is, which is likely a bad
config due to running so many different interfaces and likely with ppa's
added. If you would like to discuss how to do that properly let a volunteer
know. Cheers and good luck.

as i said before, *if* it mounts as a drive, then, you can use it as a

you may be required to use it in windows, and not be given the option to
use it in linux..

i have seen many players with mount options, to be mounted as a drag and
drop  hard drive.. please just look at it as if its a hard drive.. thats
how it will work best in linux.. otherwise, let denver know you would
like it to work in linux.. nothing about linux, ubuntu or ubuntustudio is
preventing denver from supporting that device in linux.. though, i dont
think its a big deal

have you mounted other USB devices? like a usb thumbstick?

 Since I am using the nVidia drivers, I need to manualy set the

why not turn one monitor off, and use the wacom?
can you not use the opensource nvidia driver?
you can probably load up a live CD with the open driver running, and get
relevant coordinates from there..

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] HTML5 and pulseaudio in firefox

 Hi all,

 I don't know if i should post this in support for firefox, pulseaudio,
 or ubuntu, so i tell you guys because. you rock! :)

 I've noticed a strange behaviour with html5 and audio-tag in
 pulse-audio. Only when using firefox, every time a page is loaded with
 an audio tag, a new firefox audio output is created. It's not really a
 problem untill you refresh a lot because then the CPU goes bananas. It
 could be my javascript code that is weird, i understand that, but it
 doesn't happen with chromium and when the audio tag comes with no
 javascript function (as in standard audio-control) it happens too.

 Hope you don't mind me telling this here, and if so, please direct me to
 the proper support forum.


that could actually be the problem. there really will be no proper support
forum for that, and that is the challenge. the reason we have the jack dbus
is to route traffic from pulse audio to JACK, which i think is great for
users who need this. i personally appreciate the work that has gone into
providing this feature, but, disable it first thing, since i dont need it.
when i need audio from the web, i *dont* also need JACK running. the main
issue with this is, JACK *is* open.. so *any* and all web browser are free
and welcome and encouraged to write JACK support into their products.. the
creators of flash and html5 specs and content are welcome to cater to JACK
as well. they can also write for and test pulse audio support. but, taking
some content that is not designed to do what you are trying to do will
likely have some compromises.. i would say, if you dont need pulse content
through jack, just stop jack, and use the web content as it has been
designed to be used.. if you need JACK, then, you can try and work with
normal bug reports, but i would go as far upstream as possible..

cheers, and good luck!


 Yours,
 Set

why are you using an installation DVD to make an installation USB? if you
want to install, and the DVD is working, just use it to do your
installation.. you indicated you have plenty of them on a new spindle..
otherwise, check your machine that it is capable, and setup for USB boot..
take the USB that is not working to a machine that you know well and that
is capable of booting USB, and see that the USB is indeed working or not..

also, on a few personal notes...

1. i suggest getting 14.04 installed and leaving it alone.
2. i suggest that you return that ARM chromebook and either, buy *exactly*
what you want, which is a machine that runs linux, like an ubuntu machine
from system76 which would ship with ubuntu and run a distro like arch out
of the box and easily.. *or* get an intel based chromebook, which will run
a standard distro of linux. there are also simple projects such as crouton
which will allow you to basically add a full ubuntu distro (not limited to
ubuntu) on top of the currently installed chromeOS kernel..

there is no reason to make things so hard on yourself..



 Checked the disk had no error before boot. Wouldn't this be a good auto
 option? If installing via a dvd, check the install will complete with no
 disk errors before commit to install?
 Obvious yes, but not for artists etc which is who this distro claimes to
 be about. I was told off here a while back but i read the email they sent
 all about eriquette.
 Oh, and my sig the distros I support. Too late know did the ctrl alt f2
 and sudo upgrade option. Oh and I support 32bit PCLinuxOS MATE also; my
 first ''KDE'' install. That's rolling release I think.

 Worked out why I was having errors before and so many problems here. I had
 bad sectors on my hd, and help from google (google is not your friend at
 all; google is a search engine.
 I didn't realise you could google on the error messages you get. It should
 have been fairly oblivious to me, but it wasn't.

 Yeah, my old lapto blew up, had bad sectors which was crashing fdisk out
 and I was thinking it was completing but it was crashing, and then
 installing but failing at the bits where it searches the hd for avvailable
 options for the boot grub thing to display.

 Fixed the bad sectors and then the cpu died. I absolutely that my hard
 drives and processors. For sale: Acer Aspire 5551. One careful owner ;) 8p
 %)

 Bought a new laptop! 14.o4.1 went on no prob at all, It was clean cos I
 couldn't wait for 14.1o. I'll be supporting 14,1o It's on
 now.
 What are the differences? Didn't even read the release notr. Thought after
 the failed usb stck install it was beta or an rc. Failure to run that is
 not install.

 So the question now, it I do I creat the 14.1o on my usb stick. I know, I
 will go get the 14.o4 iso and put that on again.
 Yeah, bought a laptop and a Chromebook. Gonna stick ARM Arch on it
 next. I never had and success with Arch at all previously.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Trying to update 14.04.1 to 14.10

 My internet tripped out doing an upgrade.
 How do I do the online upgrade? Now it doesn't seem to recognise that
14.10 is available.
 Is there a cli commands to do this please, aha tia from Alex.


I suggest you stay on 14.04. I would check that your 14.04 is working
properly and up to date.. if it is broken by interrupting it, fresh install
14.04. Before proceeding with system upgrades, you should have backups of
all and any important data. This is true on any operating system, since all
hard drives fail. If you need something particular that has been added to
14.10, such as some driver support that has been added to the kernel, then
consider fresh installing 14.10. If not, just use 14.04 for 3 years. Dist
upgrades always take a long time so plan for hours of uninterrupted power
and internet. If you can't provide that, do fresh installs only.
Interrupting updates and upgrades is bad.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] No sound during video playback

  Thanks for your replies, sorry for not being more helpful so far.

 I tried logging in as guest from a fresh boot, but guest user could not
 access any of the drives with videos in, nor could I mount them as sudo was
 not allowed.


move said file to a location where the guest user *can* access the files..
or, make another user, a test user..



 Then I logged out and back in as my normal user account, and tried opening
 a video with Totem (the default video player) and it worked perfectly, with
 video and sound. I also tried with VLC and it worked. I also opened
 Rhythmbox and it played audio files okay.

 So for no apparent reason it seems to have fixed itself without me
 actually doing anything other than logging in as guest before logging into
 my user account.

 It could just be an intermittent problem of course.

  Also, now in Firefox, videos have no sound -- although they did this
 morning, and I have not rebooted or logged out or anything like that.

 I have tried playing audio files in Rhythmbox, but they will not play
 either, no movement of progress slider and no sound output. The same goes
 for Audacity, which I need for editing audio files.

 According to sound settings that I looked at sound is enabled and working.

 I believe I am using Pulse Audio sound.


  dont believe anything.. are you using pulse? pulse ships with
 ubuntustudio.. also, JACK ships. if you start an audio application that
 requires JACK, and automatically tries to start JACK, this can cause issues
 with your normal audio. please reboot, and dont start *anything* other
 than just vlc, and test audio/video.. also, try as another user to, as i
 stated a few times, remove your users config from the equation..

No. Get the arm version.. I suggest looking into crouton which is an ubuntu

will work or how they work on arm. Personally, I purchased a chrome book
with Intel haswell processor in case I want to run normal Linux on it...
You could try and return the one you have and get an Intel version. They
make an i3 Intel chip version of the c720 now. That's the chrome book that
will support stock Linux distros ... Otherwise get a system76 machine with
Ubuntu already on it. If you stay with the arm chip, I would read about the
raspberry pi being used with Jack for audio purposes.. Should be relevant..

 Yes, after 3 year my laptop has finally died. Ended up with a second hand

you *can* create another USB stick, and may need to, if the one you have is
bad. i suggest booting into windows, install the latest ubuntustudio 14.04
iso from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/14.04/release/ and
use something like http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ from inside windows
to make a new USB stick live installer.

for you, i would also consider just using main ubuntu
http://www.ubuntu.com/download

seems like you are running into many issues, and there is a much larger
community for support upstream.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

the windows support is quite irrelevant. if amd wants, they are always
welcome and able to support linux for you. dont assume that installing a
proprietary driver will magically address your issues. used to be, you
could actually negatively effect audio performance with these proprietary
modules..

for the big picture, i suggest purchasing with linux support in mind from
the start.. from a reseller like system76 for example.. otherwise, try a
custom xorg.conf for you device.. try the proprietary driver.. try live
CD's..

one trick i use is, i'll fire up a knoppix live CD or puppy and use the
wizard to try and force the desktop into the geometry i want.. i'll them
copy the xorg.conf from the live system, and implement it in ubuntu or the
distro i am trying to support, editing for driver modules or other details
as needed.

good luck..

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Questions about production

 Hello People. After a long time I finally got around to try and record
 something. I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 14.04 up and running and
 I have fiddled around with some of the programs and tried to do some stuff
 but I'm running into some problems. Note I am not only new to linux audio
 but new to audio recording in general so please bear with me if some of the
 questions sound stupid. At the moment I'm using my midi keyboard which is
 hooked up with a USB cable and I'm only going to do midi stuff right now
 although I'm planning to get a microphone later for vocals. So here we go

 1. I seem to be running into xruns a lot (one every 2-3 minutes) and the
 settings which I have to bring jack so I don't get any dropouts at all
 brings the latency up to 40ms which is too high. I'm running this on my
 relatively old laptop using the built in sound card, which has a first gen
 i3 and 3 GB RAM. Now I have absolutely no idea about what kind of hardware
 is recommended for audio recording, so is this much enough? Because if it
 is, then I'm probably doing something wrong. I do have a desktop with a
 much better processor which I may have to use then, but no dedicated sound
 card.


you could be running into more issues with the hardware you have not
supporting linux, or not supporting the work flow you are doing. on *any*
internal audio device, if i can get 40ms latency, im comfortable with that.
internal audio devices like that are not intended for audio production.
regardless of the machine you end up using, even just adding a simple USB
audio device that is under $80us can drastically improve your setup, in
latency, and functionality, such as adding a mic preamp, or a proper line
in for instruments.



 I have Realtime enabled in JACK and enabled memlock in Ubuntu Studio
 controls. What else can I do reduce the latency? I have left the priority
 setting in qjackctl at default. Should I change that to something?

 2. Is it ok to use rakarrack effects while recording or should I monitor
 just a clean signal and then apply effects later? I mean, does the extra
 processing add significant load to the CPU or are we talking on completely
 different scales here? Same with zynaddsubfx; should I use that while
 recording? I read somewhere that apparently it is not real time safe.


on older hardware, i dont do the effects in realtime like that on the way
in. if i have 40ms latency, i dont even monitor with the software like
that.. if i dont need to monitor in realtime, i dont. if i, for example, am
recording a guitar, i'll have the amp or acoustic instrument in the room,
live.. i'll put a mic on the amp or the instrument, and record. monitoring
basically live with my actual ears, not the computer. in this case, the
latency of the hardware literally doesnt matter. if i want effects, i'll
add them in externally in this scenario, still, not using the machine to
monitor. if i want to overdub, there are things in place in ardour that
are supposed to adjust for the latency.. i will play the recorded track,
and listen while tracking a new track, monitoring the already recorded
track from the machine, and the live instrument im recording now with the
analog source instead of after the software. in both of those scenarios,
there is no benefit to monitoring after the software so i dont. if i wanted
to, i would get hardware that supports lower latency. this does not
necessarily mean faster CPU. i used to get sub 2ms with firewire on a
pentium4 with a gig of ram. the firewire device was capable and supported
linux well..



 3.  For monitoring while recording, is it better to route the midi signal
 through qtractor to the synth or to connect the keyboard directly to the
 synth?


in this scenario, where the machine is the sound source, or the software
synth, you will need lower latency for that to feel like an actual
instrument.. for me, i want under 12ms latency for this.. ideally, 5 to 8..
i personally dont want to incite an argument about latency and what is
needed, or usable, or adequate, but rather, encourage you to, as i did, set
the scenario up, and decide for yourself what latency is acceptable to you
for live software synth instruments. if i had an internal audio device
only, i would go ahead and assume the latency i will have will be
unacceptable for this purpose.. a work around would be, connect the midi
unit to the machine, and record the midi data, but, if the midi keyboard is
more than a controller and has *any* internal sounds, use the internal
sounds on the actual keyboard to monitor while tracking the midi data into
the computer.. this will get you the same end result, with the compromise
of not hearing exactly what you want while recording, but, hearing an
instrument played in realtime.. after tracking the midi data into the
machine, you can then process the midi data however you like... routing the
midi data to

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Ubuntu Studio 13.10 --- 14.04 (a question)

[Mike Holstein]

On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 7:17 PM, Henry W. Peters hwpet...@jamadots.comwrote:

 Been using UBS for about a year... on a USB 3 external HD,  dual boot
 with Windows 8.1 (v. 1310.10 USB currently).

 Two questions that I have concerning the most recent version (14.04):

 1). Why is it not the upgrade path recommended (i.e.  via Software
 Updater)?

 2). What are significant differences between these two versions (i.e., why
 update or upgrade)?

 Thanks for any insights.


1. the path is there, and you can use it if you like, but dont overthink
it...
http://www.liberiangeek.net/2014/01/daily-ubuntu-tips-upgrade-to-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr-from-13-10/is
a nice read relating to upgrading.. let us know if you have any
issues..

2. whats the difference? the main key difference is, 14.04 is an lts, or
long term support release.. 13.10 is supported for 9 months total, which
means EOL (end of life) soon (in a few weeks or so, really) compared to
14.04 being supported for 3 years specifically by the ubuntustudio team,
and upstream ubuntu 14.04 repos being up and supported for 5 years.. if
things are working in 13.10, and its an audio production machine that is
not online anyway, there may be little reason for you to want to upgrade.
there are always improvements that are made (really, there are always
changes made, and one can argue if they are improvements based on how one
perceives the changes). personally, i run only lts releases on my
production machine, so, i updated 12.04 to 14.04 last week.. it looks great
and runs well. i suggest you try it live, and see for yourself first hand
how it runs on your specific hardware, and if you prefer it to 13.10..
cheers and enjoy ubuntustudio regardless of what version you end up using..

also, keep in mind, ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. so anything at guides such

we, as the ubuntu community and ubuntustuduio community dont do anything to
prevent netflix from running on linux or ubuntu, or ubuntustudio. also,
realistically, there is only so much we can do to facilitate its running on
linux/ubuntu. nothing is preventing netflix, or anyone else from running,
or creating whatever they like to run on linux. ubuntu and ubuntustudio are
both completely open, top to bottom, and anyone at anytime can always
create anything they like, and make it work flawlessly for you. until that
time, support for non-native applications and services will always be a
compromise. another handy fact is, PPA's are not officially supported, so,
if you find you need one, be sure to ask the creators/maintainers of the
PPA for support.. cheers! and good luck, and make sure you let netflix know

 Netflix is not a package that you can install from official Ubuntu

 case, it's probably fine.
 The PPA is still there, of course. But, you need to check if it has been
 updated for 14.04. That could be your problem.

 The PPA adress can be found in a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
 The file will be named after the PPA.
 Might be the PPA is disabled even.

 Also, just to point out, we don't really support Windows applications,
 and we can't estimate which PPAs you have on your system.
 Adding PPAs means you change your system, and from there, anything can
 happen.
 We can only support the official Ubuntu repositories.

 It seems like a few people have had success upgrading. i would otherwise
 be reluctant to recommend that. Rather better to do a fresh install.
 That might not help in the case with Netflix though.

   As a workaround if you've got Ubuntu 14.04 up and running is add the

  Hi,
 I did try this, and it did not work.
 I also tried upgrading the 12.04 to 14.04 and it also did not work.
 And by 'did not work' I mean qjackctl wouldn't start in firewire 'mode' at
 all.



you can try gksudo qjackctl to troubleshoot permissions errors.. you may
have to add your user to the audio group or other special requirements for
firewire


 I assume this is a bug somewhere, and would like to narrow it down if I am
 able to.


assuming anything is a waste of time and not constructive.


 I think I will also test using stock Ubuntu 12.04 to see if the bug is not
 present there.


if this is permissions related with the stock ubuntu, its not a bug


 I am guessing the bug is either in qjackctl or ffado...  any suggestions?
 I really appreciate the help you all have provided, and thank you for
 making it so easy to install all the things I install normally :)

 Sorry to hear you think so. Would you care to explain why in more detail
 so we might improve? Then again, two weeks ago it was still in beta. I have
 run 14.04 on my main laptop since beta 1 and have not had much trouble.

   maybe... it has been two images.  And one I used zsync and still came
 up with a bad image (after zsync)
 I will look into it more when I have time

 It looks like you are the go to guy on this list, thanks for all your
 help, I know it can be hard to fill that role sometimes!

  I have installed several times with the i386 iso and there have been
 some issues, but lately I haven't seen any on my installations. That said,
 I haven't run any installation the last 7 days so it might something new
 that popped up.



 Hi,
 Hmmm, well something must have changed, as I tried 2 times, and couldn't
 get past the odd ? dialog.  I tried downloading it 2 times, and running
 zsync on the last one to hopefully fix it but it didn't
 What could the dialog pop-up be for?  Is there some sort of confirmation
 dialog?  I tried once choosing  (selecting and un-selecting) packages, and
 once leaving it completely alone.  Both failed.  I am on an intel Core 2
 (64bit), but I was running the 32bit (this is a mac with the horrid EFI
 they have, and it wont detect a multivolume 64bit disc... or something
 along those lines)
 So, I was testing the same version/arch you did.
 Is there any thing showing up in any of the automatic testing for the
 images? (I assume you use a testing mechanism)
 Thanks for your help!!


the testing mechanism: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

test the sums, if they are not matching, then that is the first place to
start

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Firewire interface

 Hi,
 I am having a few issues. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 (not studio) and I am

 Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial for how to
 configure qjackctl so use my device.  FFADO Mixer loads the interface just
 fine, but I cannot seem to figure out how to configure everything to use it
 :)

 The other issue is Ubuntu Studio 14.04
 I downloaded the 32bit live (DVD) from current yesterday, and Ubiquity
 goes fine until the place where I can choose the packages to install.  Then
 a dialog pops up with a bunch of  and then the installer hangs up
 until I use a TTY to sudo reboot.
 I have also tried booting the 64bit beta2 on a Macboot, and cannot seem to

 Thanks for your help!


when i migrated my production rig to linux, using a firewire interface (as
well as testing with may other internal and USB interfaces) these are some
helpful tips that i found made the transition possible.

1. work from a live CD. there are several nice live CD's these days, such
as our ubuntustudio live CD. when i say live CD, i just refer to the iso
image, downloaded and running from whatever you need.. DVD, USB, whatever..
while testing with the live CD's, you can easily tweak *any* and *all*
configurations, without the fear of breakage. this is also an easy way to
test different kernel versions and JACK versions with your hardware. i like
to use an ubuntu 12.04, and now, the upcoming 14.04, as well as AVlinux's
live iso
2. what is the issue? is it the firewire? or JACK? or permissions? or what?
test things as independently as possible. dont land in a new os, fire up
jack, with a piece of firewire hardware you dont know is supported in
linux. start with the internal audio device, and learn to configure and run
JACK using it. then, you can move forward knowing your JACK configuration
is working or not.
3. the firewire chipset *can* make or break linux support. you can run
lspci in a terminal and see what chipset you have for firewire.. ideally,
you have texas instruments.. if not, i have a few others that work well,
and also, a few that will never work in linux.
4. i have had laptops with IRQ issues relating to sharing IRQ for firewire
with USB ports i was using. you can check this in the terminal with cat
/proc/interrupts
5. keep in mind, none of the vendors of any of the hardware you have have
promised you linux support. a team of experts from many different companies
have come together for years and years to work with each other and make
sure that your hardware works in a different operating system. you are
basically deciding to take that responsibility on for yourself.
6. temporarily running jack as root (which is not something i would want to
do all the time, continuously) can help troubleshoot permissions. running
gksudo qjackctl allows one to start jack as root.. if jack has been
failing, but runs as root, then, you know that the hardware configuration
in jack works, and that the issue is more likely to do with permissions.
7. in qjackctl, there is a messages button that can have lots of helpful
information..

feel free and share any terminal output here for any of the commands, or
the jack GUI error messages.. i suggest joining the IRC for realtime help.

 I use Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu Studio 12.04.  It works out of the box in
 Studio 12.04


ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu


 I didn't have to try anything fancy.
 I am using a Presonus Firebox.


i use a presonus firepod


 I prefer to use only FLOSS and only want to install it rather than use a
 liveCD/USB/DVD (unless it is puppy),


the live CD's i suggest *are* FLOSS, and the one you used to install
ubuntustudio will do fine. its so you can tweak and try configurations and
easily get back to a default state without breaking your current
installation


 but thanks for your info.
 I am in 12.04 right now, but if you need me to run some commands and post
 the output I would be glad to.  Presonus Firebox is already on FFADO (which
 is why I got it).


the presonus firepod works out of the box for me in ubuntustudio 12.04
through 14.04


 I got the interface specifically to use in Ubuntu... but 14.04 is having
 issues with it.


presonus doenst officially support linux.. RME does AFAIK


 To enable it in Studio 12.04


there is no enable process for the firepod i have from presonus. it
literally just runs when i have proper supported firewire chipsets


 Open the FFADO mixer, wait until it loads the device.
 Open QJackctl and change it to firewire
 Open Audacity (I haven't tried it in Ardour yet... I wanted to just see if
 it works) change it to Jack
 Voila!  Working as expected.

 So why doesn't it work in plain Ubuntu 14.04?  I tried MANY things, and
 all of them were useless.  Jack works fine with Alsa but not firewire.
 If you like I can later post the output of the errors.
