| Thy_ | hello | 10:26 |
|---|---|---|
| Thy_ | I have a question (maybe it's a FAQ, sorry if it is) : | 10:28 |
| Thy_ | ubutustudion comes with a "realtime" kernel, that is needed by jack and its friends. Okay. But the "classic" programs (firefox, filezilla...) work fine. So why "non-realtime" kernels ? | 10:30 |
| Thy_ | (-n) | 10:30 |
| jussi01 | Thy_: the realtime kernel affects performance in some other areas | 10:41 |
| Thy_ | ah, ok thank you | 10:41 |
| jussi01 | np :) | 10:42 |
| Thy_ | another question : does-apt-get upgrade replaces the realtime kernel with a non-realtime one ? | 10:43 |
| Thy_ | (wher a nother kernel is installed of course) | 10:43 |
| Thy_ | -r+n (eee pc keyboard) | 10:43 |
| Thy_ | have to leave, thanks again for the useful answer ! goodbye | 11:00 |
| marsilainen | hmmm, 'man jackd' brings up the undocumented man page... | 14:20 |
| marsilainen | do I need to install some extra package to get the jackd man pages? | 14:20 |
| marsilainen | (this is on ubuntu desktop rather than ubuntustudio) | 14:20 |

| AJH101-IRC | hi what is the recommended minimum hardware specification for u-s please? | 20:04 |
| AJH101-IRC | is there a lower spec version of ubuntu studio? or should i just look for an earlier release of u-s if i am installing on an older pc? | 20:06 |
| mezquitale | what pc do you have? | 20:25 |
| mezquitale | i've had ubuntustudio run on an old PIII laptop but it was kind of slow | 20:26 |
| mezquitale | AJH101-IRC, the trick is to have a fast sound card | 20:26 |
| AJH101-IRC | i am pickling up an old laptop tomorrow - is there a lower spec distro that you know if? | 20:37 |
| holstein | AJH101-IRC: dyne-bolic | 20:39 |
| holstein | but, you should try ubuntu studio | 20:39 |
| holstein | might be just fine | 20:39 |
| AJH101-IRC | what is mim required to work in midi and a few wav files dp you think? | 20:45 |
| AJH101-IRC | not doing any live recording | 20:45 |
| mezquitale | AJH101-IRC, ubuntu studio has the same requirements as ubuntu, however for sound applications you will need a decent sound card and off course it needs to be supported in linux, you can forget about video editing in an old computer unless you have the patience | 20:45 |
| holstein | midi should be lighter on resources | 20:45 |
| holstein | people have been doing midi for years | 20:46 |
| AJH101-IRC | yes i hope so | 20:46 |
| mezquitale | AJH101-IRC, my pIII worked better in ubuntu studio than on my desktop with a dual AMD CPU with 4 gigs of ram, that's because the sound card in the laptop is better supported in linux | 20:46 |
| AJH101-IRC | i installed the audio apps at the command line - how do i uninstell them from the pc? i would like a dedicated midi laptop so i do not need all the extras on this pc | 20:47 |
| holstein | ubottu: vanilla | 20:48 |
| ubottu | To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation | 20:48 |
| holstein | something like that AJH101-IRC | 20:48 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins linux-rt | 20:48 |
| AJH101-IRC | i am looking to uninstall the audio apps from this pc - i will install full studio on the laptop - the link does not tell me about uninstalling | 20:50 |
| AJH101-IRC | the sudo will just install - not uninstall i think? | 20:50 |
| holstein | hmmm | 20:50 |
| holstein | i would suggest a vanilla install | 20:50 |
| mezquitale | AJH101-IRC, forget about uninstalling, just install and ubuntustudio will configure itself | 20:50 |
| holstein | and get the audio stuff | 20:51 |
| holstein | the ubuntustudio install will have the video stuff | 20:51 |
| holstein | and other extras you might not be interested in | 20:51 |
| mezquitale | how do you unmount a dvd drive?? | 20:52 |
| AJH101-IRC | ok - i think i will have to use that earlier command line for the audio apps only 0 thanks | 20:52 |
| holstein | hmm | 20:52 |
| holstein | mezquitale: i usually find it in gnome, and right-click :) | 20:52 |
| holstein | but, if you know where it is mounted, you should be abot to umount it or whatever | 20:53 |
| holstein | sudo umount /where/ever ...something like that | 20:53 |
| AJH101-IRC | thx for advice guys | 20:53 |
| AJH101-IRC | ttfn | 20:53 |
| holstein | good luck AJH101-IRC :) | 20:54 |
