I am using the ubuntu studio Distro and one of the pro music programs is called ardour. When the program is loaded there is no way to get access to the other programs. The dock doesn't function and the ubuntu sign has disappeared. I can't even log off or see my name in the top right hand of the screen. My only option is to quit the program. There aren't any workspaces visible and no matter where I put the mouse clicker nothing appears. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's not just ardour that does this.
In August of this year I'm going to build a dedicated linux audio computer. I have been using ubuntu studio on my cheapo dell optiplex to learn linux and to get used to different programs and see which ones I need.
Lubuntu seems to use less cpu than ubuntu studio for the same program. I don't want any other programs on my system part from ardour, jack and a few misc MP3 players. All audio. It says that ubuntu studio is a low latency program, does this mean that Lubuntu isn't low latency? It seems that Lubuntu is running the program easier but I'm nervous to go with it because I fear it may be missing certain components to keep it less needy of cpu power.
What are your thoughts on this.
finally got tired of the windows sceen, but there are a few programs i need to run in wine.
I have a program "Vector " from Eagletree that programs my quad copter controller the program installs correctly but does not recongize the usb connection. how do i get information on how to see what is wrong.
remember i'm new to Linux.
thanks
i'm little bit confused about how the upgrading or updating works. let's say im currently using ubuntu and one opened app which is firefox and im updating the system. after the upgrating is done im still using older version of ubuntu and firefox without any trouble. how is this possible. am i currently working on the programs which have loaded to the RAM?as far as i know if we run a program the whole thing is not loaded to the RAM therefor i think it's not possible to work that fine on the RAM without loading from the hard disk. im glad if any one can explane me this.
Wireless mouse and wireless keyboard is not working in Linux distro's.
Read the similar threads on this issue. Boot mode is set for UEFI and Legacy therefore not sure what to do to enable mouse and keyboard? The mouse and keyboard use the same 'receiver' and the receiver indicator is green when Linux distro is fully loaded. Have tried various distro's, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu based distro's using LIVE DVD method on all. Latest distro tried is Peach 14.04.1 TW.40 64 bit. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, CPU AMD FX6300 3.5 Ghz six core.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi there folks, first post and been using Linux for roughly a week, not an expert but getting the feel for it.
So....my question is: I am in the process of building a studio-rig for music, and previoulsy I used Windows, and managed to get the x64 drivers for my audio card the Delta 1010LT and got it working etc. It came with the control panel as well.
I tried googling for the drivers for Ubuntu Studio (64), but to be honest, like I said being a newbie, I'm not entirely sure I have to download them? Most things I can just request download and install from the terminal in Ubuntu. Does this apply for these drivers or if not does anyone know the location of these drivers?
Much help is appreciated
i am a musician so i wanted to install ubuntu studio to see what it was like. It said i needed to download the iso file and burn it to dvd. i did that. now it says that I should reboot the computer and it will start from the disk for a fresh install of my whole system. is this right? i only wanted a program not my sytem rebooted and re installed. does ubuntu do this each time you install a program? jesus!
when i turn my PC on that says ubuntu,recovery and bios i think i click on ubuntu then get a black screen with a blinking cursa tonight i typed in start x and it loaded PC worked how it should but why doesn't it go straight to the page were i put my password in, i should get ubuntu with dots underneath, then the screen to put my password in but i don't and if i shut my PC down it takes longer then i cant get internet and i have to keep returning to the page and click ubuntu eventually it boots up my friend suggested i type start x on the black screen which i did tonight i am aware its probley something i did when i first loaded ubuntu os i had the PC built for me with no os onit because i wanted a fresh linux/ubuntu systen
Looking for a program that can save my programs and preferences so that when i
do reinstall i don't have to individually configure each program with it's preferences.
much appreciated.
Hello everybody and thanks always for the help
I think the question I am about to ask is very beginners like, so I would appreciate the help.
I know (although I don't remember right now) there is a way to run a program on boot. I think it involves rc.local (correct me if I am wrong) I think you can put there the processes that you want to be run everytime linux is rebooted.
My question is, what should I do if I want a program to be run everytime some other event happen? For example (and in concrete) I am using a camera connected to my linux system and I want a program to run everytime I unplug and replug the camera through the USB port.
Can someone share his/her knowledge with me on this point
Thanks a thousand
I'm looking for a GUI version to start on. I've used Windows for many years and have gotten used to it so I would prefer something that has a feel like Windows but would allow me to learn to use Linux. Also appreciated would be a link to a good, free anti-virus app to go with it.
I tried Mandrake in the past with no success. Although it has a GIU front end, after installing programs, I could find no way to see the files that had been installed or even a list of executable programs (similar to the Windoze Start button).
It just seemed to me that it was saying told me, this is your disk data area, everything else is off limits. It's my disk, it doesn't belong to the writers of the OS, therefore, I should have access to ALL areas of it. I had that row with Windows telling me the Program Files folder was off limits to me, even when I upgraded my login profile to Administrator.
I want to to learn how to use it and how the OS structures it's own data areas so I'd want some way to access those areas of the disk as well, similar to accessing the system folders in Windows to learn how things work.
Mandrake seemed OK at first but then it was like the GUI was a door but either side of it was a completely alien landscape. The only familiar thing was the door itself. I'm looking for a windows type feel at the front end so I have familiar ground to work from with the alien landscape on the outside of the door only.
Thanks.
