| abogani | Yesterday I talked a bit with Tim Gardner: he don't want support i386 for -preempt flavour. | 10:33 |
|---|---|---|
| abogani | We can choose to do: | 10:33 |
| abogani | 1) Forget about 32 bit systems users (Tim called these "old legacy hardware") | 10:33 |
| abogani | So suggest to our users amd64 -preempt and -rt, drop the -lowlatency one, use -generic as default kernel for Studio | 10:33 |
| abogani | 2) Write an email to kernel-team and provide a valid use cases for i386 -preempt (Sorry I don't write it I'm very near to lost my self-control) | 10:33 |
| abogani | So, if we can change mind to Tim and he accept to provide an i386, suggest to our users -preempt and -rt, drop -lowlatency, use -preempt ad default | 10:34 |
| abogani | 3) Forget about only amd64 -preempt kernel flavour | 10:34 |
| abogani | So suggest to our users -lowlatency and rt, -lowlatency as default kernel releasing both through PPA. That because don't have any change neither to have -lowlatency in Ubuntu archives nor to have an 2.6.32 -rt kernel. | 10:34 |
| abogani | How do you prefer proceed? | 10:34 |
| abogani | TheMuso, persia, stochastic ^ | 10:34 |
| abogani | In 3) I meant use -generic ad default kernel for Studio (not -lowlatency because it is in a PPA) | 10:42 |

| ScottL | Re: 32 bit systems and kernel, before it is decided to drop support perhaps we should post to the mailing list and ask how many people this effects | 14:27 |
| * ScottL notes that he is a 32 bit for his main recording box | 14:28 | |
| holstein | DUDE | 14:28 |
| ScottL | s/32 bit/32 bit user | 14:28 |
| holstein | i vote for after the LTS release | 14:28 |
| holstein | maybe thats what your talking about... | 14:29 |
| holstein | 10.10+ | 14:29 |
| ScottL | would this render a clean, default install of a 32 bit Ubuntu Studio system without a -lowlatency, -preempt or -rt kernel? | 14:30 |
| ScottL | I rock a P4 for my main recording box and I would be rather put out if Ubuntu Studio Lucid came out with a vanilla kernel | 14:31 |
| jussi01 | why dont we ship both kernels, with the lowlatency one shipped as the last in grubs list? or set as the second. I dont think this is hard to do. | 14:47 |
| ScottL | stochastic, or cory had put up a list from torrent tracker url that showed about equal numbers of 32 and 64 bit downloads (I don't remember numbers) | 15:04 |
| ScottL | i think it would be unfortunate to upset half the user base | 15:05 |
| ScottL | jussi01, that is a good idea | 15:05 |
| ScottL | I would love to tell my wife I "had" to buy a new machine LOL please don't misunderstand me, but I have that luxury | 15:06 |
| ScottL | hundereds of 32 bit Ubuntu Studio may not | 15:06 |
| ScottL | jussi01, I was told that you were the person to talk to about getting a dedicated (or renamed) forum at Ubuntu Forums | 15:07 |
| ScottL | during the meeting we talked about whether to host our own or use Ubuntu Forums | 15:07 |
| jussi01 | ScottL: kinda. I know the right people. send me an email with exactly what you want and Illl organise it. | 15:07 |
| ScottL | I can do that...I should have it to you by the end of the weekend then (less than two days hence) | 15:08 |
| ScottL | jussi01, persia also mentioned putting the on the forum meeting agenda...do you think this will still be necessary? if so, I will, if not I don't want to muck things up | 15:09 |
| ScottL | s/the/this | 15:09 |
| jussi01 | ScottL: If it needs to be done, Ill sort it. just mail me with what you need, Ill let you know what needs to happen after that. | 15:10 |
| ScottL | thanks | 15:10 |
| ScottL | jussi01, email sent (I found unexpected time before I expected it ;P ) | 19:02 |
