| Sylvester_Ink | hey all | 05:14 |
|---|---|---|
| Sylvester_Ink | I'm eager to install Ubuntu Studio, but my preferred desktop environment is KDE | 05:14 |
| Sylvester_Ink | How well does KDE perform with Ubuntu Studio? | 05:14 |
| ScottL | Sylvester_Ink, i've seen posts at Ubuntu Forums that mention they use KDE with Studio | 05:41 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Ah, I checked but couldn't find any. Probably didn't look hard enough :P | 05:42 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Thanks! | 05:42 |
| Sylvester_Ink | One other thing, I mainly use linux for programming, but would like to toy around with Ubuntu Studio. Is there anything I should know about this setup, or should it work just the same as a standard ubuntu install | 05:44 |
| ScottL | it works pretty much the same, it should at least because it's the same code base | 05:46 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Okay, I figured as much. Just wanted to make sure the optimizations didn't introduce anything new I should be aware of | 05:46 |
| Sylvester_Ink | (Still new at developing on Linux) | 05:46 |
| _guitarman_ | ScottL: i tried the low-latency kernel - didn't seem to make much difference compared to the generic | 05:50 |
| _guitarman_ | ScottL: not sure what others are finding | 05:50 |
| _guitarman_ | but thats what happened on my mininote | 05:50 |
| ScottL | _guitarman_, thanks for the information | 13:54 |
| ScottL | that's kinda surprising, the order is supposed to go -generic -> -preempt -> -lowlatency -> -rt | 13:57 |
| ScottL | so the lowlatency should be pretty aggressive for low latency (no pun intended) | 13:57 |
| ScottL | here's a good wiki page that abogani worked up | 13:57 |
| ScottL | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel | 13:57 |
| ScottL | if you want the 2.6.32 -rt kernel for i386 it is available in abogani's ppa (see link above for another link to the ppa) | 13:58 |
| ScottL | oh, i should point out that the kernel wiki page listed above needs a little clean up which i have been meaning to do | 14:13 |
| ScottL | but if you see something that needs correcting (e.g. a typo, something you know is wrong) then please log into the wiki and fix it! | 14:14 |
| ScottL | this applies to everyone who uses Ubuntu Studio and has an account on wiki.ubuntu.com | 14:14 |
| ScottL | i would encourage everyone to make corrections and even add pages that you think are necessary | 14:15 |
| jussi | ScottL: just so you dont have to go find it in the future: | 14:18 |
| jussi | !rt | 14:18 |
| ubottu | The RT kernel is the Ubuntu kernel with a realtime preemption patch applied. It is included in Ubuntu Studio by default. For more information please see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime/ | 14:18 |
| jussi | although that page could do with an update.... | 14:19 |
| ScottL | thanks jussi! | 15:15 |
| jussi | :) | 15:16 |
| funkyHat | The -rt kernel could do with an update too :( | 15:57 |
| ScottL | why do you say that funkyHat ? | 16:06 |
| ScottL | are you speaking of the -rt kernel version in the official repository? | 16:06 |
| edakiri | I got a tip here that looked good but I lost it due to a crash, so I ask again. I already searched the IRC logs for the answer. I was told of an audio player written for dot.Net/CIL which allows rating songs. What is the name? | 16:07 |
| funkyHat | ScottL: yes | 16:07 |
| ScottL | if so, you can get the 2.6.32 -rt kernel from Alessio Bogani's PPA | 16:08 |
| ScottL | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel | 16:08 |
| ScottL | funkyHat, look at the link above which has a link to his ppa :) | 16:08 |
| funkyHat | Mm, he suggested I do that on a bug I reported, but I haven't tried it yet. I should do. | 16:08 |
| funkyHat | Hopefully fglrx works with it... | 16:08 |
| astraljava | ScottL: From abogani's PPA: linux-realtime 2.6.31-12.21 Alessio Igor Bogani (2010-03-08) | 16:09 |
| ScottL | hmmm, maybe it's in the ubuntu studio ppa...hold on | 16:09 |
| ScottL | i seem to remember that bogani had created a 2.6.32 -rt kernel | 16:10 |
| astraljava | Seems he hasn't uploaded it, then. | 16:11 |
| astraljava | ~ubuntustudio-dev has an even older version. | 16:11 |
| ScottL | 2.6.32-12.40~ppa1 -lowlatency for amd64 -> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/ppa/+build/1498091 | 16:12 |
| ScottL | 2.6.32-12.40~ppa1 -lowlatency for i386 -> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/ppa/+build/1498092 | 16:13 |
| ScottL | but no -rt kernel :( | 16:13 |
| astraljava | How did you dig those up? They're not in the package listing. | 16:14 |
| ScottL | i started with the ubuntustudio-dev ppa and 'view package details' | 16:17 |
| ScottL | then 'view all builds' and then filter by 'successfully built' | 16:18 |
| ScottL | ah, but the long and short is that i need to talk with abogani again and clarify my understanding of the kernels apparently :( | 16:19 |
| ScottL | maybe a chart on one of the wiki pages with the current available kernels and their locations | 16:19 |
| _guitarman_ | ScottL: thx - i added the repo which is how i got the low-latency kernel... its a good page on describing whats what, but yeah, didn't notice much. | 18:27 |
| psidrum | why does ubuntu studio use a different installer? | 23:11 |
| psidrum | why not use the regular ubuntu installer, i cant get my wifi working with the ubuntu studio staller | 23:11 |
