#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.

One laptop, multiple workstations, only one used at a time: Why does it flash the built-in screen? #multiplemonitors #kde #ubuntustudio #plasma5
FOSS? What is FOSS?
What is Free Open-Source Software (FOSS) and why would someone choose it?
This was my first decent, proper go at @ardour on #UbuntuStudio
...its just a dirge of effected guitar jamming through the Line 6 Helix. Now what is weird is how the Helix isnt class compliant (as far as I know) ..which means someone with the UbStu developers is using the Helix.
Anyway, nearly 7 minutes of me making a fool of myself on the Palm Bay.

Where is the best place to get guidance for this #Ubuntu / #UbuntuStudio installer crash problem? Search engines are useless and our forums say ISO corruption or media error, and in my case both check ok.
This is getting tedious. #UbuntuStudio cannot possibly contain material its own installer cannot extract, and my iso passes sha256 and my install media is flawless (says badblocks) and yet each boot misbehaves differently, failing because it cannot 'read' something.
Well, at least it is a different result! #UbuntuStudio shouldn't be so hard. None of the USB write methods complain about my media, but shouldn't the start-disk writer offer SOME sort of integrity check?
