And I have to say I'm quite impressed by something that's free! Running it now on my Centrino 1.6 laptop and I can pretty much do gung ho recording when needed and just migrate them onto my bedroom desktop DAW. If I get to understand the system fully, I just might do a complete switch to Linux for all my music production needs.

Anyone else who runs a Linux based DAW?

ubuntu tong laptop ko ngayon. kaya lang hindi pa fully supported yung presonus firestudio project ko for multitrack recording. stereo channel outputs pa lang gumanaga at minsan 1 preamp lang gagana for recording.

ardour is quite good.

anong interface gamit mo?

Well what I did was install the basic Ubuntu 9.04 distro and used the Synaptic update manager to put in all the ubuntu studio bits. I just typed in 'ubuntu-studio' and it downloaded all the programs and dependencies for the release

i just installed ubunto studio 9.04 on a dualboot system with vista on my hp laptop. so far it looks good. i still cant get the wireless network to work. its kinda hard to use since im not realy used to anything but windows. i installed everything with it. any other suggestions on what other programs i can install and how?

Ay bro, that's the major hitch with installing Ubuntu Studio directly from the CD. I'm sure there's a way to make the wireless work if you do that, but what I did from my end was to install the REGULAR Ubuntu distro then use the Synaptic Package Manager in the system to install the Ubuntu Studio package. That way, I was able to keep the wireless settings enabled without much hassle

Generally, programs are installed in Ubuntu using the Aptitude package manager. What it does is that it simplifies the task of unpacking, checking dependencies and compiling the installer for a given program by doing it automatically and doing all installs via the network / Ubuntu servers.

Hey thanks for this link man!

akosimic · « **Reply #9 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:40:56 PM »

tried the synaptic package manager to install components for ubuntu studio. its screwing up in my case

weird thing, it prompted me for studio 8 then 9 and it ended there.

titser_marco · « **Reply #10 on:** October 17, 2009, 03:10:44 AM »

what distro did you install initially?

akosimic · « **Reply #11 on:** October 17, 2009, 03:34:31 AM »

okay heres what i did:

installed ubuntu 9 (via wubi)
inserted studio 9 (automatically ran the updater)
prompted for studio 8
then prompted for studio 9 again

...and now it wouldnt continue. im thinking of actually redoing the whole thing if i really did something wrong.

That's strange, because what I did was

Install 9.04
Update using the Synaptic Package Manager. Used the keyword ubuntu-studio

ok the method i posted didnt work on my laptop. however, i installed ubuntu onto a friends desktop, then installed studio through the disc and worked. tried the same thing again on my laptop and isnt working (not connected to the net). now im trying to see if its gonna work through the net (so far its downloading).

btw, what interface are you using for your laptop?

titser_marco · « **Reply #14 on:** October 24, 2009, 02:19:18 AM »

right now im using the onboard card, but im thinking of getting a behri firewire since ill just use this for minor writing stuff lang naman. the serious recording rig is still in my bedroom.

good luck in installing ubuntu!

akosimic · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2009, 09:25:00 AM »

hmmm it didnt work again

i think i really need to reformat and do it all over again.

just curious: does it matter if its ntfs or fat32 for ubuntu/ubuntu studio?

titser_marco · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2009, 09:02:16 PM »

ah there! youd have to choose either ext3 or ext2 as your partition file system that will house linux

haha now just a few things:

-how did you configure jack considering you are using your onboard soundcard on your laptop? its also on my laptop actually.
-where could i get the plugins to make the audio/video playback work? what do i exactly find?

Re: Jack -- to tell you frankly, I havent really gotten around to tinkering with Jack

Re: plugins - had the same problem before because movie player wont play dvds; after googling, it led me to a link that talked about downloading libdevss or something.

Cant really help much on this as I too am relative noob to the OS. The forums at ubuntuforums.org, though, can be the most helpful resource on the net you can find.

spent half a day tinkering ubuntu studio. a lot of these apps look promising. so far, ive already made hydrogen and audacity work.

still trying to figure out how to make jack work, specially that the other apps like ardour need jack.

another downside right now (well more on ubuntu i mean), i still couldnt find the right graphics driver for my laptop (it uses sis mirage 3+). with the current resolution, couldnt appreciate some apps (its oversized for the monitor).
