[10:26] hello [10:28] I have a question (maybe it's a FAQ, sorry if it is) : [10:30] 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] (-n) [10:41] Thy_: the realtime kernel affects performance in some other areas [10:41] ah, ok thank you [10:42] np :) [10:43] another question : does-apt-get upgrade replaces the realtime kernel with a non-realtime one ? [10:43] (wher a nother kernel is installed of course) [10:43] -r+n (eee pc keyboard) [11:00] have to leave, thanks again for the useful answer ! goodbye [14:20] hmmm, 'man jackd' brings up the undocumented man page... [14:20] do I need to install some extra package to get the jackd man pages? [14:20] (this is on ubuntu desktop rather than ubuntustudio) === olinuxx_ is now known as olinuxx [20:04] hi what is the recommended minimum hardware specification for u-s please? [20:06] 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? [20:25] what pc do you have? [20:26] i've had ubuntustudio run on an old PIII laptop but it was kind of slow [20:26] AJH101-IRC, the trick is to have a fast sound card [20:37] i am pickling up an old laptop tomorrow - is there a lower spec distro that you know if? [20:39] AJH101-IRC: dyne-bolic [20:39] but, you should try ubuntu studio [20:39] might be just fine [20:45] what is mim required to work in midi and a few wav files dp you think? [20:45] not doing any live recording [20:45] 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] midi should be lighter on resources [20:46] people have been doing midi for years [20:46] yes i hope so [20:46] 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 [20:47] 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 [20:48] ubottu: vanilla [20:48] To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation [20:48] something like that AJH101-IRC [20:48] sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins linux-rt [20:50] 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] the sudo will just install - not uninstall i think? [20:50] hmmm [20:50] i would suggest a vanilla install [20:50] AJH101-IRC, forget about uninstalling, just install and ubuntustudio will configure itself [20:51] and get the audio stuff [20:51] the ubuntustudio install will have the video stuff [20:51] and other extras you might not be interested in [20:52] how do you unmount a dvd drive?? [20:52] ok - i think i will have to use that earlier command line for the audio apps only 0 thanks [20:52] hmm [20:52] mezquitale: i usually find it in gnome, and right-click :) [20:53] but, if you know where it is mounted, you should be abot to umount it or whatever [20:53] sudo umount /where/ever ...something like that [20:53] thx for advice guys [20:53] ttfn [20:54] good luck AJH101-IRC :)
