Upgrade zu Ubuntu Studio 24 LTS eine einzige Katastrophe.* Musste letztlich das System neu einspielen. LUKS Verschlüsselung bei Installation nur noch wenn man die Platte viped, da bei mir dual boot, fiel das also aus.

Das hätte ich mir im Jahr 2025 etwas unnerdiger gewünscht.

* bei nem anderen Rechner lief das do-release-upgrade 1A durch.

@iju Päästän sinut jännitykseltäsi viettämään rauhassa Juhannusta. Ei täällä oikeastaan olemitään nähtävää.

Ehdin jo miettiä, että miten kuvakaappaaminen onnistuu, mutta Windowsista tuttu PrtScr-nappi toimii tässäkin! Gimpissä on huomattavasti enemmän totuteltavaa.
Ehkä kuitenkin löytyy muutakin mitä jo osaan. Macien kanssa leikkiessä sai vain tottua siihen että MIKÄÄN ei toimi kuin Windowsissa.

#Fedihelp on #MIDI on #OSX #Moneterey out there?

I have this noname #USBmidi cable. It works class compliant out of the box on #Linux / #UbuntuStudio 24.04. A tiny LED on the USB plug shows incoming MIDI, which I can also see in #GMIDImonitor after routing it in #Patchance. (#Pipewire audio system.)

On #MacOS I am lost. The tiny LED does not light up on incoming MIDI. Apparently this USB device is not even activated by the OS.

It also cannot by detected in “audio midi setup”.

I mean, this is OSX, the supposedly easy OS for creative people… what's going on?

EDIT: It turns out that this might be not an OSX problem. The USB MIDI does not show up as soon as the MIDI is plugged in. I guess this is a leakage current problem which might in the end even destroy USB ports. Power supplies without ground connections are prone to this error (those by Apple, too). A MIDI interface should be opto-coupled, but many actually aren't.

Chiques, que me hicieron...
No puedo dejar de ver videos de Linux y ahora no sé si instalar Debian 12, Manjaro, Linux Mint, Ubuntu Studio, Linux Arch 😱
De a poco voy entendiendo las diferencias entre Entornos, Distrubuciones y Sistemas Operativos 🥲

¿Algun canal Discord, Telegram o creadore de contenido, o algo que recomienden para acercarme a la correcta instalación? que mi notebook viene sin so🙏

Ich möchte einen Vorschlag machen. Wenn in den letzten Tagen etwas glasklar geworden ist, dass man sich auch Dienste aus den USA etc. nicht mehr verlassen kann. Dafür gibt es viele Gründe, ihr könnt sie euch denken, die kann ich ja ein anderes Mal aufzählen. Wenn ich also als Privatmensch digital souverän zu werden, was wäre eine Umgebung die dies weitestgehend umsetzt? Auf dem Gebiet […]

#android#AVM#calyxos

So, I'm giving up for today with #UbuntuStudio 24.04.

After a decade of clean audio playback with #Linux, it turns out that I own two of the few audio interfaces that do not work *any more* with the new #Pipewire audio system.

(#RME Digi 9652PCI card - crashing completely with Pipewire. #Yamaha #01v96i: clicks and pops.)

I was told this was a border case. I filed bug reports. Perhaps it's similar to the feeling when you've upgraded your OSX only to find out Apple has discontinued Firewire audio support and your beloved audio interface has just turned into a brick.

I cannot play back YouTube videos without clicks and popps. I feel stupid. I have spent about 3 days working on this instead of doing other work. I am an idiot for not getting a Mac.

But after 18 years of pro audio on Linux, what would you do…

(Well, at least by disabling Pipewire-Jack, jack-enabled programs can use my RME interface via oldskool #Jack again. But the rest goes via PipeWire into the poppclick device.)

Professional #VideoEditing on #UbuntuStudio #Linux 24.04:

#Lightworks #NLE works, but when set to #Jack audio and actually using #Pipewire in the back… in case of a crash, your Pipewire is jammed, you need to reboot like a #Windows system. Lightworks has the usual pile of bugs, and with every bug fixed, the dev team introduces some new ones. Like the desired #CineForm RGB444 export, resulting in files like… see attached.

#DaVinciResolve installer complains about dependencies, but the libraries are present. It installs its own libraries which are incompatible with Ubuntu, so you need to remove them. Then you find out that it doesn't find your GPU and refused operation. You find this blog post with a instructions how to install the proprietary graphics driver by AMD, but this fails. You end up not using Resolve (again).

For most people, #kdenlive will do the job.

Migrating to #UbuntuStudio 24.04 from Kubuntu 18.04 / kxStudio.

Well, looks good, is tedious. Basically spent the whole day already on this.

#vcvRack refuses to use Jack (which is indeed #Pipewire here)… but it seems to to the job when set to #Alsa.

#DaVinciResolve insists on having no GPU, turns out it needs proprietary #amdgpu drivers. Not a priority. It also needs manual intervention removing some bundled libraries that actually do not work on any Ubuntu and that kind of BEEP.

#Lightworks is a priority and after some fiddling it works in #Jack mode. (Latest Lightworks Pro 2025.1 release, I did the upgrade.)

Got all my #WindowsVST to run again except for some crap by Melda which I had used only once. #Ardour and #Mixbus are good. But I need to re-enter the $§%& license stuff for the VSTs everywhere, now where did I put that…

Now what I didn't even touch is my other user on the same machine that does the office work.

Continuing with #UbuntuStudio 24.04 – my hard disk bay has given up working with the new #Linux, so how will I re-import data from my old SSD now?

#DaVinciResolve, as usual, does not run for no apparent reason.

#Lightworks however, as usual, does.

I uninstall the #Ardour of Ubuntu Studio because I have my own installation. Which works out of the box. So does #Harrison #Mixbus.

A where did the X kill go with Ctrl+Alt+ESC? Not possible any more. Why are #Ubuntu makers taking the fun out of #Linux?

Configuring my fresh #Linux install…

Still haven't figured out how to have colored window title bars in #KDE, but other than that… installing #UbuntuStudio packages with that new fiber connection from #DeutscheGlasfaser is crazy. 2 GB downloads, you basically don't feel them.

Now copying settings over from my old #Kubuntu. USB Storage Quirks for the kernel configuration (needed for some esoteric professional card readers of mine, such as CFexpress and CFast). Porting my /etc/fstab with no less than 9 entries for pluggable archive storage hard drives, yes mechanical ones… (I do video editing)…

Now re-inserting my data SSDs (1TB photo, 8TB video)… hopefully all mount points will work right away after reboot.

These expensive Dell workstations allow you to do all of this without a screwdriver.

Now what's actually great about #KDE is that you can configure it a lot. Not. Ah, well…

#UbuntuStudio has the everything-bar on top. Why not at the bottom? I try to fix this, but I'm doing it wrong.

Now my whatever bar is entirely messed up and there is no reset button in reach.

I have to reconstruct it manually.

I feel like my mum (age 80)… “oh now I have clicked somewhere, it did something, and now it's all gone!“

But I will manage.

Still, Ubuntu Studio trying to be cool, but not having multiple work spaces by default. How can a nerd work without that?

Hallelujah, I have a fresh #UbuntuStudio now on my Dell Xeon workstation.

First thing I need to do is open a terminal window and run #alsamixer.

There is no special GUI for my very old #RME #Digi9652 PCI sound card but it can be set to Clock Master in alsamixer – which is what I need. As usual on Linux, this old card works out of the box. (There are some younger RME Digi cards with ”Hammerfall“ in the name that have special tools for Linux.)

Next important step is to Ubuntu Studio Audio Configuration and set sample rate and buffer size. The only configuration dialog for #Pipewire that is offered.

Next step is to click the speaker icon and set all your professional audio interfaces to "Pro Audio", in my case the Yamaha 01v96i via USB and the RME Digi.

I might unplug the Yamaha though, actually I don't use it via USB.

Pipewire also shows my #HDMI audio outputs… now that's more relevant on the laptop.

Testing: Audio playback from Firefox/YouTube works, of course.

Turns out that pushing the power button will wake up the machine with its jammed #UbuntuStudio installer after it has gone to sleep.

It then requests a password. But the live system user does not have a password, so you can never ever login again.

This bug in UbuntuStudio 24.04 has already been known in #Ubuntu 22.04 but apparently it didn't get fixed.

After pressing the buttons of the login screen, now I have a very very black screen with a mouse pointer.

Welcome to UbuntuStudio installer!

Trying to reboot now, hoping that the installer has finished without me knowing it.

Replied in thread

Sadly, when installing #UbuntuStudio, I had forgotten about this one bug in the installer.

So while the installer was doing its thing from the slow USB thumb drive, I went over to the kitchen to do some household work.

Coming back, I was reminded of the bug: Once your screens are sent to sleep mode because you didn't wiggle with the mouse while the installer was doing its thing, the machine locks up… or perhaps it doesn't lock, but the screens never ever come back to life again.

Now I'm a #Linux user since over 20 years, so install unafraid. But what will newbies do with this?

Continued thread

So continuing on my #UbuntuStudio #Linux installation, after a reboot I open a terminal and start ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap to see if there's any debug output I can make use of.

For some unclear reason the #Ubuntu installer now doesn't crash any more. Well, not yet. It is copying things.

My old system was Kubuntu 18.04 with kxStudio overlays. It used legacy boot. Now I'm on UEFI. Worked well on my new old laptop prototype, which btw is a Lenovo T470.
