[10:26] <Thy_> hello
[10:28] <Thy_> I have a question (maybe it's a FAQ, sorry if it is) :
[10:30] <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)
[10:41] <jussi01> Thy_: the realtime kernel affects performance in some other areas
[10:41] <Thy_> ah, ok thank you
[10:42] <jussi01> np :)
[10:43] <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)
[11:00] <Thy_> have to leave, thanks again for the useful answer ! goodbye
[14:20] <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)
[20:04] <AJH101-IRC> hi what is the recommended minimum hardware specification for u-s please?
[20:06] <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?
[20:25] <mezquitale> what pc do you have?
[20:26] <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
[20:37] <AJH101-IRC> i am pickling up an old laptop tomorrow - is there a lower spec distro that you know if?
[20:39] <holstein> AJH101-IRC: dyne-bolic
[20:39] <holstein> but, you should try ubuntu studio
[20:39] <holstein> might be just fine
[20:45] <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
[20:46] <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
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <holstein> ubottu: vanilla
[20:48] <holstein> something like that AJH101-IRC
[20:48] <holstein> sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins linux-rt
[20:50] <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
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <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 :)
[20:53] <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
[20:54] <holstein> good luck AJH101-IRC :)
