| macinnisrr | Hi! My name is Dick MacInnis, and I have been working on an Ubuntu based multimedia distro much like ubuntustudio. My distro is called "Dream" and I am trying to keep it as close to stock Ubuntu as possible, while also including the most up to date versions of applications. I'm wondering about a couple things: 1) are there plans for an rt-pae kernel? 2) has anyone had luck making plymouth work properly with the 2.6 | 02:22 |
|---|---|---|
| macinnisrr | 4) If I make such a kernel on my own, would you be interested in including it? I am quite good at binary packaging. I can compile/troubleshoot source code easily enough. The problem is I have no experience making source packages (which is why I host my own repo as opposed to using launchpad). | 02:24 |
| holstein | macinnisrr: hey | 03:20 |
| holstein | that sounds like an awesome project | 03:20 |
| holstein | are there links to anything yet? | 03:20 |
| macinnisrr | actually you can add this line to your apt sources "deb http://www.dickmacinnis.com/dream lucid main universe multiverse non-free". Once you've done that you can download Ardour 2.8.7, new calf lv2 plugins, autotalent (an autotune-type plugin, ladspa-trigger, matching gtk themes (that go with the custom themes I have installed for Ardour), an rt-pae kernel (although it is based on 2.6.31 so only the text plymouth s | 03:25 |
| macinnisrr | I'm working on a new kernel as we speak, and should have an iso ready in a few days. | 03:26 |
| holstein | would you mind to share that over at #opensourcemusicians ? | 03:26 |
| holstein | the PPA ? | 03:27 |
| macinnisrr | absolutely, although I don't have it gpg signed yet (so it's not a proper ppa, I'm not sure what else I might need to do to make it so, but I'm working on it). Feel free to send out a link to whoever you want, although keep in mind that I would consider all of my packages beta at least for a couple weeks (most everything has been tested here on six different machines, and the base is Ubuntu, so blame them if major s | 03:29 |
| holstein | macinnisrr: i'll save that info you just dropped | 03:31 |
| macinnisrr | I also forgot to mention one of the coolest packages, which is my custom pulseaudio-module-jack package. It's a dropin replacement for the original, but contains a script to easily connect all system audio to jack. Just fire up jack and issue the "pulsejack" command. If you do a fresh install with my custom qjackctl package, this will happen automatically for all users | 03:31 |
| holstein | im not really 'on the team' so to speak | 03:31 |
| holstein | im just hanging out, trying to figure out what i can do | 03:32 |
| macinnisrr | holstien: sweet. The more people who try this out, the more feedback I can get, and the more I can improve it. | 03:32 |
| holstein | BUT the folks at #opensourcemusicians will test | 03:32 |
| holstein | and talk it up | 03:32 |
| macinnisrr | holstein: What are you interested in helping with? Maybe I could use your expertise.... | 03:32 |
| holstein | thats the issue really | 03:33 |
| holstein | im a musician | 03:33 |
| holstein | and im very interested in helping | 03:33 |
| holstein | BUT i have no coding skills | 03:33 |
| holstein | im not really a newb | 03:33 |
| holstein | but im still learning | 03:33 |
| macinnisrr | holstein: I was in the same boat as you, but during Karmic's cycle I got tired of waiting for new Ardour packages so I started compiling. Then I got annoyed compiling for all my machines, so I started packaging. Then I thought, why not make a distro? | 03:35 |
| macinnisrr | so I started reading... | 03:35 |
| holstein | awesome | 03:36 |
| holstein | well, im not quite there yet | 03:36 |
| scott-work | persia, are you around for a question or two? | 18:31 |
| scott-work | interesting view on the staid and conventional desktop -> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/03/google_acquires_bumptop/ | 22:05 |
| scott-work | wish troy was here to see that | 22:05 |
