JohnnyLWhat format do you people distribute your tunes with? i am thinking of .FLAC. (nice and lossless)00:52
krubenastflac and ogg00:53
JohnnyLogg is lossy.00:58
krubenastYes, but the question was "What format do you people distribute your tunes with?" so i just answered it01:00
JohnnyLok01:01
JohnnyLI am trying to imagine smeone that does not have flac as an option.01:02

tczernHello, I want to clone my current drive which uses 40GB out of 640GB to a HD that has only 320GB. if I rsync -a -x --delete / /media/320GB would it copy the boot files as well?03:11
holstein.g clonezilla03:12
theloniusholstein: http://clonezilla.org/03:12
LAbotTitle: Clonezilla - About (at clonezilla.org)03:12
tczernI read about Clonezilla, can I use this while the system is running or only from a Live DVD?03:12
holsteintczern: ?03:13
holsteintczern: you cant and shouldnt clone a running system..03:13
tczernthat's what I thought, I don't have another usb stick, only one with the KXStudio installer on it, so it's a live USB, but I think I can load clonezilla when the Live USB runs, or not?03:14
holsteintczern: im not following.. clonezilla *is* a live iso03:14
holsteinyou boot it from whatever you want to boot it from, and use it to clone whatever you like to whatever else you like03:15
tczernI thought it's an app?03:15
holsteintczern: check out the page i linked ^03:15
holsteintczern: its *using* the apps i referenced, like dd.. which, is jokingly referred to as "disk destroyer"03:15
holsteintczern: you can *really* break your system trying to clone it03:16
tczernso why could I installed Clonezilla via the Synaptic Manager if it's a live system? Maybe that's why I am a bit lost now03:16
tczernok, won't clone a running system03:16
holsteintczern: you *dont* want to, and cant effectively clone a runinng system, again03:17
tczernok, done with that part, I get it03:17
holsteintczern: you *can* install the tools, since they are open tools, in *all* distros03:17
holsteinyou can insatll, and clone *other* disks to *other* disks03:17
tczerndon't have a Dvd drive .. out of larger USB, only a bunch of old ones that are too small, too lazy to go to a store now. I think I postpone03:18
holsteintczern: cool.. when you get *something* to do the job you want to do, you can do it03:18
holsteinthe clonezilla ISO is quite small..03:19
tczernbtw, using xfce now, that I like a lot03:19
holsteinshould be under 200mb's03:20
tczernso, my current hardrive is failing, some bad sectors, I wonder if it's a good idea to clone from here anyways or better start a fresh install, I saved all markings from synaptic and have a back up of my home folder, that should work, right?03:20
tczern200MB, hmmm. digg digg for USB sticks ....03:21
tczern128, 256, yay03:21
tczernoh, I could use a compact Flash card too, right?03:22
holsteintczern: a fresh install takes me less than 30 minutes..03:23
holsteintczern: i dont know what your hardware boots.. but..03:23

tczernno cd drive, it went bad and voluntarly dumped itself03:24
holsteinwell, at some point, you'll have to make the machine do what you want03:25
holsteini'll take drive to other boxes to clone..03:25
holsteini dont trust failing drives.. dont use them03:25
tczernk03:26
tczernfresh install it is03:26
tczernI am tempted to buy a SSD, instead of using a regular hard drive :-|03:29
holsteinif you feel it will facilitate your needs, go for it03:30
holsteini get cheap-o/free spinning drives.. i prefer them for audio production03:31
holsteini dont need anything that an ssd provides for audio production.. but, if i had one for the internal installed operating system drive, i would use it03:31
tczernthey are still expensive03:31
holsteinmuch more reasonable..03:32
tczernhave a laptop drive 7200rpm with 320gb, I think it's a seagate, should work fine, and a 1TB Spinpoint03:32
tczernthe failing drive is a WD 640, Black Caviar, 3 years old, just a few days out of warranty03:33
holsteini would put the on you have in03:33
holstein7200RPM is fine..03:33

holsteinbut, i have a nice-ish tube mic that i cant remember it i had working back then or not03:50
tczernnice, I am trying to find two good mics to record a piano, have a GT-55 and need another one, using the Delta Omni with the M-Audio Quattro03:54
holsteintczern: i have some kind of GT.. maye its a gt5503:55
holsteintczern: i got a *nice* deal on an "openbox" pair of rode nt5's i really like03:55
tczernI have nt5 on my list, not sure if I should get a pair of those or another GT55, the GT55 pics up ANY noise and sound in the whole house.03:57

grobda24Hi, I'm in the Kx live DVD. I'm looking The KDE file browser. No audio thumbs ? Been here before. Caja in MATE and other WM's can use external thumbnailer executables lihe here - http://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12514#p55280 ... also could use http://gareus.org/wiki/sndfile-waveform and https://github.com/beschulz/wav2png ...13:04
LAbotTitle: LinuxMusicians View topic - File Browser Waveform, MIDI and BPM Thumbnails ? (at linuxmusicians.com)13:04
grobda24But I could never find a way to do this in KDE. No one seems to have written a plugin to call external executables that I know of.13:04
grobda24Has anyone encountered this issue before ?13:05

Xzufalktx, from ardour log: Video-monitor 'xjadeo' is too old. Please install xjadeo version 0.7.7 or later. http://xjadeo.sf.net/15:04
LAbotTitle: XJADEO - The X Jack Video Monitor (at xjadeo.sf.net)15:04
falktxXzu: the ardour3 binary already provides xjadeo15:05
falktxand I remember updating xjadeo a few weeks ago...15:05
Xzuahh ok. It's git version.15:06
falktxah, only for 14.0415:06
falktxXzu: are you using ubuntu 14.04 ?15:06
falktxI think the answer is no...15:06
rgareusXzu: meanwhile, easiest way is to just install xjadeo&harvid in $HOME/bin or so.15:07
rgareusXzu: see http://manual.ardour.org/video-timeline/setup/ it has a one-liner to pull in the binaries that come with ardour15:07
rgareusdebian stopped shipping xjadeo since there's only libav (no ffmpeg).15:08
rgareussomeone made a patch but the binary that's currently on debian is broken. it seeks wrong.15:09
rgareusI told mira (the packager)15:10
rgareusuntil ffmpeg returns to debian, just use the binary from http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/download.html or use a distro that has ffmpeg15:10
LAbotTitle: XJADEO - The X Jack Video Monitor (at xjadeo.sourceforge.net)15:10
rgareusfalktx: do you ship ffmpeg with kxstudio?15:12
rgareusfalktx: I recall you managed to get the proposed deb package going15:12
falktxrgareus: I do now with ubuntu 14.04 (only)15:12
falktxrgareus: the next kxstudio iso will use ffmpeg instead of libav15:13
falktxnot all libs and apps compile nicely with ffmpeg, but those that do I'll keep them15:13
rgareusmakes sense  - at least for a professional Multimedia distro15:13
falktxthis is the current list https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-debian/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg/+packages15:13
LAbotTitle: Packages in “FFmpeg” : FFmpeg : “KXStudio Debian” team (at launchpad.net)15:13
rgareusI know that debian has some security concerns..15:13
rgareusbut it's not like anyone is going to use KXStudio on a webserver and call ffmpeg from php or so.. - if that even would be a problem15:15
falktxthere are much more serious issues than this15:25

grobda24Xzu, right, I'll try that later. Looking at installing ATM :)16:00
grobda24First time trying Kx, and I must say it looks really good. Everything set up and integrated :) Have been spending far too much time fiddling around in Debian.16:01

grobda24Hi, can I get the installer to wipe and install to my current Linux partition ? At the moment it only seems to want to resize, or install to an entire hardrive (wiping partitions on it as well).18:41
holsteingrobda24: yes18:41
holsteini'll use a live iso, and just manually use gparted to make "empty space", or manually partition what i want.. then, i'll use an installer to install what i want18:42
grobda24holstein, right, yes though I might have to do that.18:43
holsteinhave to? you mean, "get to".. ;)18:43
holsteinyou get to set your machine up *exactly* as you want/need :)18:43
grobda24So if I manually set up my partition first, then run the live iso installer again, it should offer "install to partition" as an option ?18:43
holsteinyou can likely piddle about in whatever installer you are in, and "force" it to happen.. but, if i hit issues, i'll just run gparted manually and sort it out18:44
grobda24Yes, interesting you might point out that use of language :) Yes, "when I get to that part", no "have to" involved anywhere ;)18:44
holsteingrobda24: i dont know what installer you are using, but, yes, that would be ideal, or "install to largest coniguous space"..18:44
grobda24k, thanks18:44

grobda24Hi again, had some time to load up gparted running from the Kx live dvd, but remembered that I've had problems with Grub before.19:21
holsteinyup19:21
holsteinsounds like, you may have a special hardware scenario? or bad hard drive?19:21
holsteini will address all that prior to the install.. or..19:21

theloniusholstein: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair19:21
LAbotTitle: Boot-Repair - Community Help Wiki (at help.ubuntu.com)19:21
holsteinuse a live iso after install to sort things out, and just *not* install grub during the install19:22
grobda24Yes, Hi, I have Vista on the first HD. Linux on the second along with Win7 on another partition on that hardrive.19:22
holsteinyou may want to, for example, if you are installing ubuntu base, or debian base, use that larger upstream community to help you address your specific needs19:22
grobda24Should the Kx installer run the usual Grub installion that discovers all the OS's and installs the the Grub MBR on the first HD ?19:23
holsteinkeep in mind, its likey that another person *has* installed linux on that specific hardware and those chipsets.. its quite unlikely anyone has installed kxstsudio on there19:23
holsteingrobda24: AFAIK,19:23
grobda24holstein, yeah, I can always take this to them :)19:23
holstein"it" offers to install onto the drive you are installing onto19:23
holsteini typically just fire up the installer, and try and specify, or, i "fix" afterwards19:24
grobda24ok, I need to make sure I know the fix first. I'll install whem I know this tommorow. I've made the mistake I've dividing myself from my Steam games before now :P19:25
holsteinwell, the "fix" involves konwing what is broken, andif anything is broken, or why19:25
holsteinyou should have a clone, or a recoverable backup of any os and/or data on that drive before starting19:26
holsteinbefore installing *any* os.. or, powering up the machine, in anyway, basically.. since *all* drives fail19:27
grobda24I usually just backup data, OS's can be reinstalled.19:27
holsteinwhatever meets your needs..19:27
grobda24I have the Grub update process noted down somehere. It basically just involves going into a live distro and running "grub update" from there.19:28

grobda24k19:28
holsteingrobda24: sure.. its not a trivial thing, for sure19:29
