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!
Hi,
Although I've been using linux several years back. I am not a fast learner so here goes a question I should understand long ago.
I have installed fresh Ubuntu 15.04 netinstall.
After that install xorg and windows manager.
Sound was working.
Then I wanted to check the mixer and I used to alsamixer, and strange the app was not there.
I have tried all alsa* binaries but none of them was installed.
How can I findout what sound system is running?
Thanks
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.
i have ubuntu on my computer. i keep hearing about how great mint is so i want to duel install it with my current system. i have downloaded and burned the iso disk file to the dvd. NOW WHAT? there isnt anyone on the web says what to do next. do i boot up my computer and press install? is it a terminal command? do i book from the dvd? what am i supposed to do next. i want to have a duel boot on my computer of ubuntu and mint.
your clueless geek wannabe friend!
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
Just installed unbuntu version 4.3.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu). Wanted to set up another monitor with an usb vga adapter from j5create. Found this post http://how-to.cc/get-a-displaylink-v...h-ubuntu-12-04. Installed apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-displaylink -> got no green screen on reboot. Created X configuration file...nothing. Looked around some websites were telling me to install: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg got:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
First time I am trying Unbuntu getting already a little frustrated
What Is Linux Kernel?
Those who don't know what is the Linux Kernel they should know it because Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.
Latest Stable Linux Kernel Version 3.18.1
It's been a quiet week, and the patch from rc7 is tiny, so 3.18 is out.
I'd love to say that we've figured out the problem that plagues 3.17 for a couple of people, but we haven't. At the same time, there's absolutely no point in having everybody else twiddling their thumbs when a couple of people are actively trying to bisect an older issue, so holding up the release just didn't make sense. Especially since
that would just have then held things up entirely over the holiday break.
So the merge window for 3.19 is open, and DaveJ will hopefully get his bisection done (or at least narrow things down sufficiently that we have that "Ahaa" moment) over the next week. But in solidarity with Dave (and to make my life easier too let's try to avoid introducing any _new_ nasty issues, ok?]

Hey guys. So I just went out and bought a Sager 8268-s (clevo p150sm-a) With an i7 4910mq and a Nvidia 980m gt. As I am a computer tech by trade, every time i see Windows i get horrible PTSD so i decided to try Linux instead. After many hours of trying to get a dual boot working finally got Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon installed on my computer, but when I went to install the Nvidia driver it landed me in fallback mode which I could not escape. So then I tried Ubuntu 14.04 LTS thinking maybe Mint was incompatible with the driver and the same thing happened.
So here is my method:
(sorry i don't know how to make a code box :/ )
First I log in to get root access:
$ su
Then I Update the xorg:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
Then update my system:
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Then i go into Virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and disable the display manager:
$ sudo service mdm (or lightdm for Ubuntu) stop
Then i install the drivers which i have done multiple ways:
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings
or
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-343 nvidia-settings
or by downloading the driver from Nvidia (first designating the file as executable)
$ sudo sh nvidia.run && sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
Then after install, I create the config file:
$ sudo nvidia-xconfig
Then I reboot. After I get the low res mode in Ubuntu or fallback mode in Mint and Driver manager doesn't detect any proprietary drivers and I have to reinstall to get the OS working again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I tried to install Debian 8 and 7 but I get error message at partitioning stage:
"Failed to create a file system
The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."
After that I couldn't advance further.
I booted from a live Debian and the HardDisk actually shows there with some older files on it.
I tried to install even Windows but from the start it shows the computer doesn't have a Hard Disk Drive so the installation stops right at the start.
Any ideas what is wrong and is there any fix?
