ryanpghi all... can anyone explain to me (or point me to a url) what is going on with jackd in ubuntu 10.10?15:32
ryanpgattempting to install jackd2 results in many many apps being removed, conversely, certain apps seem to require jackd215:33
ryanpgthis is very frustrating, and I'm concerned with the release of 10.10 a month away15:45

ryanpgholstein, yes15:53

holsteini see you got ScottL talking to you over in -devel :)15:54

ryanpghi all... back18:38
musotekhi18:38
ryanpgman, for the life of me... I can't get rid of xruns with my edirol usb ua-2518:38
ryanpgdriving me nuts18:38
holsteinhttp://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-ice171218:38
holsteinlooks like you might need to do some tweaking18:38
ryanpgdo we still have to change the priority of the IRQ our audio interface is on?18:39
holsteini was thinking of the 1010lt18:39
holsteinryanpg: dont have to18:39
holsteinyou getting xruns?18:39
ryanpgoh man yeah18:39
musoteknice one .. I'll give that a read ... thanks18:39
ryanpgjust sitting idle I get a burst of xruns every 20 seconds or so18:39
holsteinmusotek: theres probably something more relevant to ubuntu around somewhere18:39
ryanpgframes 64 periods 618:39
holsteinmusotek: try #opensourcemusicians too :)18:39
holsteinryanpg: what kernel?18:40

holsteinhmmm18:40
holsteinyeah, lets look at you IRQ's18:40
ryanpgholstein, honestly I've never gotten low latency with USB on linux18:40
ryanpgirq 18 is the usb bus I'm plugged into18:41
holsteincat /proc/interrupts18:41
ryanpgnothing else on that irq18:41
holsteinand paste that to..18:41

holsteinok18:41
holsteinhmmm18:41
ryanpgyeah, PR is -9018:41
ryanpgjackd is also -9018:42
holsteinryanpg: let me think a minute18:42
holsteinbut run18:42
holsteinsudo qjackctl18:42
holsteinand see if its the same18:42
ryanpgqjacktl is running now18:42
ryanpgbut you mean run it as root?18:42
holsteinyeah, sudo run it :)18:42
musotekholstein: thanks18:42
holsteinmusotek: let us know18:42
holsteini think thats do-able18:42
musotekok18:43
holsteinryanpg: maybe just try turning it down even more18:43
holsteinmaybe 512 and 318:43
holsteinor 1024 and 318:43
ryanpgoh man... I want to do live guitar effect processing18:44
ryanpganything over 10ms is useless18:44
holsteinryanpg: that realtime checkbox is checked right?18:44
ryanpgsure is18:44
holsteinin 'setup'18:44
holsteinhmmm18:44
holsteinif you set it up with the latency around 20ms or so18:44
ryanpglol, just got another xrun18:44
holsteindoes it seem solid?18:44
ryanpglet's see18:45
holsteinryanpg: yeah, i dont think its permission18:45
holsteinyou can run it as normal user18:45
ryanpgk, bumped it up to about 20ms18:45
holsteinthat might just be all it can do18:46
holsteinyou might get better performance from your internal card18:46
holsteini hate to say18:46
ryanpgI hope not... others claim to get 4ms of latency from that18:46
ryanpgcard18:46
holsteinryanpg: are you sure thats the IRQ ?18:46
holsteinthe right USB port?18:46
ryanpgabsolutely18:46
ryanpglsusb says bus 718:47
ryanpg/proc/interrupts say 7 is irq 1818:47
holsteinryanpg: just for S&G18:47
holsteinmaybe try another port??18:47
ryanpgholstein, have tried every one on the laptops18:47
holsteinseems like you got it set up well18:47
ryanpgyeah... uless I can set that irq to realtime18:48
ryanpgcan't chrt do that?18:48
* holstein is not sure18:48
holsteinBUT18:48
holsteinthere was a guy in #opensourcemusicians talking about that18:48
holsteini think it was transmorgramofix18:48
holsteinthe #rakarrack guy18:48
Adriannomhi.  i have a laptop with ubuntu studio karmic.  since installing i've been unable to read usb drives unless i mount them manually.  i've had the same model laptop (hp 550) running hardy, karmic and lucid with no usb problems.  any ideas why i'm having this problem, or how i can start diagnosing?19:09
holsteinhey Adriannom19:11
Adriannomhi :)19:11
holsteinis this an ubuntustudio install?19:11
holsteinor an upgrade?19:11
Adriannominstall19:11
holsteinand the others are standard installs?19:11
holsteinubuntu installs?19:11
Adriannomthat's right19:12
holsteinthat might be a studio thing19:12
holsteinim not sure19:12
holsteinid have to go and check that out19:12
holsteinand i dont have karmic studio installed19:12
holsteini would trouble shoot that just like an ubuntu issue though19:12
holsteini bet its a gconf setting19:12
Adriannomhm19:13
holsteinor a package that needs to be installed19:13
holsteinAdriannom: do CD's mount automaically?19:13
Adriannomyeah maybe overlooked package, but then more users would be having the same problem surely19:13
Adriannomi'll check19:13
holsteinwell19:13
holsteinsomethings are left out of studio19:13
holsteinbecause of performance concerns19:14
Adriannomyeah, but everyone who uses audio uses usb drives, right? ;)19:14
holsteinsure19:14
holsteinyou can mount them though19:14
holsteinright?19:14
Adriannomyeah as root19:14
holsteinOH19:14
holsteinthat might be a different thing altogether19:14
* holstein missed the root user thing before19:15
holsteinAdriannom: i have a great idea :)19:15
holsteinwhy not upgrade that box to lucid19:15
holsteinand then check it out after that19:15
holsteinmabye that will fix it19:15
Adriannomcd isn't mounting automatically19:15
holsteinthen your on LTS :)19:15
Adriannomyeah ok19:16
holsteinnow i think its a user thing19:16
* holstein did 2 studio install upgrades19:16
holsteinand they went well19:17
holsteinupgrades usually do pretty well these days19:17
Adriannoma user thing?  what do you think i've done?19:17
holsteinwell, you might not have done it19:17
Adriannom:P19:17
holsteinbut some permissions could be set wrong19:17
holsteinmight need to re-add yourself to a gourp19:18
holsteingroup*19:18
holsteinmaybe disk group19:18
holsteinnot sure though19:18
holsteini would google that before just adding it19:18
Adriannomok i think upgrade first then19:18
Adriannomthanks :)19:18
holsteinAdriannom: let me know19:18
holsteinit could be as simple as19:18
holsteinsudo adduser Adriannom disk19:18
holsteinand that would do it19:19
holsteinbut i think upgrading is a good idea19:19
Adriannomheheh, i just pasted that in and it fixed it19:20
Adriannomi think i'm better off not upgrading since this is a production machine19:20
Adriannomany changes could be bad19:20
Adriannomusing it to dj live ya see19:21
Adriannombut it's great that this is fixed, thanks a lot holstein :)19:21
holsteinAdriannom: i hear you19:22
holstein'if it aint broke' :)19:22
ryanpgholstein, now I'm getting xruns at 23.2 ms19:37
ryanpg:(19:37
holsteinwhat did you change?19:37
ryanpgnothing, power went out - restarted and let jackd run19:37
ryanpgjust got two xruns19:38
holsteini get an xrun every now and then19:38
ryanpgjackd -R -P89 -dalsa -dhw:1 -r44100 -p128 -n819:38
holsteinwhen i start a program19:38
holsteinryanpg: whats with -n8 ?19:38
ryanpgnumber of frames19:38
holsteinyeah, why 8?19:39
ryanpgbumping up and up and up to find a stable number19:39
holsteintry bumping the other one19:39
holsteinleaving that one at -n219:39
holsteinor 319:39
ryanpgjackd -R -P89 -dalsa -dhw:1 -r44100 -p512 -n219:39
holsteinryanpg: whats that do?19:40
holsteinryanpg: i assume your in #jack ??19:40
ryanpgperiod = 512 frames (11.6 ms), buffer = 2 periods19:40
ryanpgrunning jackd from the command line19:40
holsteinryanpg: does that run stable?19:40
ryanpgso far19:40
holstein11.6 is not bad19:41
ryanpgwell.... 11.6 x 219:41
holsteinmaybe you can get -p256 -n219:41
ryanpg11.6 ms latency for 512 frames, and two periods = 23.2 ms19:41
ryanpgmaybe, I'll let this run a bit.... see if there's xruns19:41
holsteini think you can have too many periods19:42
ryanpgbut 11.6 ms is really unacceptable for realtime signal processing19:42
holsteinand make xruns19:42
holsteinnot sure though19:42
ryanpgwell...19:42
ryanpgI'll go ahead and try19:42
holsteinhell19:42
holsteintry -p64 -n219:42
ryanpgit usually takes around 20-30 seconds for the xruns to start19:43
ryanpgI'll give 64 2 a try19:43
ryanpglol, xruns galore19:47
ryanpgbut... I think I figured something out19:47
ryanpgit's either my graphics card or my wireless card that's interfering I think19:47
ryanpgbecause I get tons of xruns when starting a web browser19:47
holsteinyeah19:48
holsteini get one when i start a browser usually19:48
holsteinwhen i have it set at like 1.2ms19:48
ryanpgwow, well I don't need networking when I'm playing - so I'll just experiment with turning it off20:23
ryanpgholstein, thanks for your help!20:23
holsteinryanpg: anytime :)20:23
holsteinlet us know how it goes20:23
ryanpgwill-do20:25
