New installation of 64Studio--Noted problems I need assistance with.
Hello all,
I just recently installed 64Studio and I originaly had Ubuntu Studio. I mad e the move here because I read all the reviews on 64Studio and supposedly it is a more refined and overall better operating system than Ubuntu Studio.
At any rate today is my first day poking around and checking things out. I have found many problems right off the bat. I am hoping there is a quick solution for each.
First things first. This is my system:
Dell Dimension 4600 P5 2.8ghz, and 1.5gig ram. Two hard drives, one 80gig IDE (Windows drive) and one SATA 500gig drive (64Studio and storage). I have a Sound Blaster Live installed (Dell OEM) and I do have a firewire interface.
The problems I noticed are these:
1) No matter what I type in forums whether it is spelled correctly or incorrectly, I get a red line underneath it. So something is wrong with the systems spell checking.
2) Jack doesn't seem to be working properly. When I click on connections I notice nothing listed for the audio device. However under the MIDI connections there are devices listed. If I push start on Jack, I get this in Jack's message console:
20:54:33.671 Patchbay deactivated.

3) Next problem...I cannot access my Windows hard drive. There are two partitions on that drive and if I select either one, I get this message:
"Unable to mount selected volume:
I click on details and get this:
libhal-storage.c 1401 : info: called libhal_free_dbus_error but dbuserror was not set.
process 4607: applications must not close shared connections - see dbus_connection_close() docs. this is a bug in the application.
error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable
error: could not execute pmount
I found all these problems in less than a half hour within 64Studio. Thusfar I am a bit disappointed that for being a more refined OS over Ubuntu Studio that I found all these problems already.
Supposedly the Sound Blaster Live should be recognized by the system and I can get it to play sound within 64Studio, but Jack doesn't seem to see it because it's Ins/Outs do not appear on Jack's connection list. So I am gathering that this is causing the error message and why Jack shuts down. But the question is why is it happening in the first place.
Anyway, if someone could give me assistance in solving these issues, I would appreciate it very much.
Thank You,
Geo
