User1: User2 hello back..
User2: heya
User2: how are you doing?
 * lumpy is still having all kinds of fun with streaming
User2: idjc won't work with lame anymore it seems
User2: i have, for the moment, switched over to mixxx
User2: i also lost my entire desktop monday /while/ streaming live
User2: thank god for cli
User2: and sorry if i wasted your time the other night OvenWerks
User2: i still feel stupid
User1: not a problem. I was pretty sure it was an alsa setting
User2: well i dunno what happened
User2: for a hot minute it would reset to the settings we changed
User2: and then, after I reinstalled xfce, it keeps em
User2: no clue why
User1: PA changes things
User2: but it works now
User1: good
User2: i have been running pasuspender to launch stuff now
User2: but still no luck on idjc
User1: Might be easiest, but sholdn't be needed
User2: it /should/ see the lame codec
User2: but it is not
User1: idjc is just won't stream? or I guess lame too
User2: lame works with mixxx
User2: but not idjc
User2: least the latest versions of all
User1: mixxx and nvidia have been aprpblem for me.
User2: my tech director remotely installed the stuff for me
User2: mixxx works with my nvidia
User2: but i ditched the nvidia drivers for arandr
User2: arandr seems to work just fine atm
User2: and, for what it is worth, i never recall having to select record in alsa
User1: I haven't played with 12.04 for a bit
User2: i am running 12.04.2
User2: and i like it
User1: It could be PA changed things for you in both cases.
User2: i still have a few more things to tweak with the desktop
User2: and have to see if i can get idjc to work
User2: it is a bit more better gooder for internet dj stuhh
User2: er stuff
User2: i unistalled it before i streamed tonight
User2: maybe just reinstalling it will work but i think that is not going to be the case
User2: from some forum posts i read
User1: I am just trying out mixxx on this desktop... KDE/Studio 13.10
User2: it is looking like you, at present, need to run .make to have it work with lame
User1: Were you running it Ogg before by chance?
User2: i will let you know after i destroy my system and figure it ou
User2: nope
User2: before, for years, mp3 128 constant
User2: and it seems the issue is not the source but the stream output
User2: the reason it won't let me actually take the stream is because it is not streaming in the right format
User2: and the newest version says unsupported format
User2: but the config file has the right info for the lame encoder
User2: but it just doesn't work
User2: and , for the life of  both myself and my tech director, we can't find an error log for it anywhere
User1: Not fun.
User2: hmm, just had a thought
User1: Mixxx works fine here on this DE
User2: wonder if i launched it via pasuspender
User2: i like mixxx
User2: to a degree
User2: but idjc is more suited for internet dj stuff
User2: but mixx does have some sweet features
User2: but i have not gotten it to work with jackd
User2: and i want my compressor
User2: i like the sampers in mixxx
User2: the cross fade is sweeter than idjc
User2: not sure how the recording works
User2: it takes forever to put together all the 5 second clips
User1: When I run mixxx it seems to end up with jack ports, but not as many as idjc
User2: when i tried to run it via jack
User2: jack didn't so anything in the connection window
User1: I didn't try, I just installed mixxx and jackdbus was already running and mixx showwed up.
User2: i had jack running first as well
User2: i will look into it again
User2: maybe i need to launch it with or with out suspender
User2: but the docs say to launch it via suspender
User2: so i did
User2: i could easily adapt to mixxx, if i can run jack rack with it
User2: but would still prefer idjc
User1: what sample rate do you use?
User1: 44 or 48?
User2: 44.1 on jack
User1: so the stream would be too?
User2: i have been running a higher latency with jack rack
User2: right
User2: stream is the same
User1: I would guess all the files are as well
User2: latency is .96 ms the way i set it up
User2: not all of the files but the majority of them
User1: 0.96? or 96 ms?
User2: some of the artists use higher rates
User2: er 96
User2: my bad
User2: i don't get over runs with that setting
User2: at lower latency it do once in a while
User1: I can get less than 1ms... but not with a SB card
User2: it was a holstein suggestion
User2: and seems to have been a good one
User2: not that that would be a shock
User1: Ya, mp3 is over 100 ms anyway.
User1: it does make monitoring a bit harder.
User2: the other thing i like about idjc it that it will automatically log in at a time and kill the connection at the end
User2: mixxx does not seem to have such features
User1: but you run all you monitoring analog before it hits the computer anyway.
User2: yeah
User2: but i have to manually kill the wave output before i mic
User2: otherwise there is an echo
User2: didn't have to do that with idjc
User1: :)
User2: then again i never played with the dual card set up
User2: yet...
User1: I remember that with a satilite jeffreyshields@example.com.
User2: it looks like i could monitor off one card
User2: and stream with the other
User2: just haven't had the chance to play with it yet
User2: i was literally reading the docs as i was streaming the news on monday
User2: and mostly in cli
User2: it was a ton of fun
User1: I think when I was playing with it I was streaming in ogg
User2: but, if was not for linux, nothing would have happened at all
User2: i could convert everything to ogg
User2: but, the stream still needs mp3
User2: i think
User2: does icecast support ogg?
User1: yes
User2: that might be a solution
User2: just let the server handle it then
User1: it is kept by the same people as ogg
User2: so many options
User1: the problem would be you r listeners.
User2: so little time
User2: they would need ogg eh?
User1: they have to have a player that supports ogg.
User2: ic
User1: I think most do
User2: it is a better format imho
User1: opus is the futrure.
User2: and would kill this lame problem with every other version
User1: *future
User2: agreed
User2: even better format
User2: off topic q
User1: GA
User2: does freenode have bnc?
User1: bnc = ?
User2: not sure what it stands for but
User2: basically, you are always connected to irc
User2: and when you do log in it plays everything back
User2: so even when your home machine is not connected
User2: you still are
User1: I sort of have that here
User2: how so
User1: I am running screen on my server with irssi as the irc client
User2: ic
User2: bbiaf gotta let the other DJ out
User1: I ssh in to the server then I can reconnect to screen and all the scroll back is there.
User2: i was having ssh issues with the new router
User2: but i managed to hack that out
User2: the other thing about mixxx
User2: is it takes forever to finish a recording
User1: screen is a nice tool, it is like a session manager for CLI
User1: I can have any number of terminals in it and switch between them, but the program in each feels it has a live terminal.
User2: you are much better at cli than i
User2: but i am getting it back
User2: just slowly
User1: So I can have this irc going then switch to another terminal and read mail while a thrid on is doing a SW update.
User1: I can detach and log out but screen keeps those terminals live and I can ssh back and reconnect.
User1: From the same computer or another. If it is another I can force the new link to steal it from the old one.
User2: nice
User2: time for me to get horizontal
User1: K
User2: we shall pick this back up later
User2: nini
User1: Bye now
User3: Hello! I have ubuntu 12.04 and try to use my Creative X-FI 5.1 Soundblaster (USB), but only the 2 front speakers are working. How can i enable 5.1 surroundsound?
User4: I clicked on "Open Containing Folder" on a Firefox download file and it opens RawTherapee :o
User5: hi guys, i just hit <Super>+P by a mistake and my nVidia X Server resets on every relog/reboo
