[18:15] <Strayfolk> anyone running 11.04 with firewire yet?
[18:30] <ailo_> Strayfolk, holstein has been doing that
[18:30] <ailo_> Strayfolk, Should work out of the box
[18:31] <ailo_> Strayfolk, Just make sure you have realtime privilege with jackd, and that's all you need
[18:31] <Strayfolk> k. I couldn't run the live cd for some reason. kind of waiting for kx studio or fedora or something
[18:32] <Strayfolk> of ubuntu that is
[19:16] <holstein> Strayfolk: we dont have a live CD
[19:16] <holstein> if you cant get to the desktop from a live CD
[19:17] <holstein> the normal ubuntu live CD*
[19:17] <holstein> i would look at your graphics driver
[19:18] <holstein> Strayfolk: are you on 10.04?
[19:19] <holstein> i have tested FW on 11.04
[19:19] <holstein> theres really no reason to upgrade particularly
[19:19] <holstein> OR
[19:19] <holstein> any reason to *not* upgrade
[19:19] <holstein> its up to you
[19:20] <holstein> ffado is supporting more devices all the time though
[19:20] <holstein> that could be a good reason to upgrade
[19:26] <Strayfolk> yup. I guess I have to find out myself whether it works better
[19:27] <holstein> it should literally work basically the same
[19:27] <Strayfolk> running kx studio live dvd, I almost got the performance I get from my installed ubuntu studio
[19:27] <Strayfolk> so I really liked that...
[19:27] <holstein> yup
[19:28] <holstein> i use 10.04 with falkx kxstudio PPA's added
[19:28] <Strayfolk> me too, but the kernels won't work
[19:28] <holstein> ?
[19:28] <holstein> what kernels?
[19:28] <Strayfolk> so I'm going with the preempt + a rt from the ubuntu repos
[19:28] <holstein> nah
[19:28] <holstein> something aint right
[19:28] <holstein> they work fine
[19:28] <holstein> i have -lowlatency and -realtime
[19:28] <Strayfolk> I've gone over this so many times, I'm not reinstalling
[19:28] <holstein> from falks ppa's
[19:28] <Strayfolk> I ran realtime, but it locked all the time
[19:29] <Strayfolk> the one from falk wouldn't load at all
[19:29] <holstein> Strayfolk: they are the same
[19:29] <holstein> abogani's and falks
[19:29] <holstein> anyways
[19:29] <Strayfolk> well, tried 2 versions
[19:29] <holstein> you might want the newer -generic kernel then
[19:30] <holstein> i find i need -lowlatency
[19:30] <holstein> Strayfolk: you running nvidia with proprietary drivers?
[19:30] <Strayfolk> -rt works 10 x better for me also
[19:30] <Strayfolk> yes
[19:30] <holstein> OK
[19:30] <holstein> maybe you want to dual boot then
[19:30] <holstein> something where you can have a non studio version
[19:30] <Strayfolk> last weekend I uninstalled them, and it was the worst stabilitiy issues I've had with linux
[19:31] <holstein> and run the nouveu driver with the -realtime kernel
[19:31] <holstein> i feel like with FW you are goin to need it
[19:31] <holstein> for a while longer
[19:31] <holstein> Strayfolk: vesa driver?
[19:31] <Strayfolk> I ran -realtime with noveau last weekend, but it kept crashing, probably because of the drivers
[19:31] <Strayfolk> nouveau
[19:32] <holstein> right
[19:32] <holstein> how was it with the vesa drivers?
[19:32] <Strayfolk> 800x600
[19:32] <holstein> ?
[19:32] <Strayfolk> on a 1900x1080 screen
[19:32] <holstein> well, other than that*
[19:32] <holstein> you can make a custom xorg.conf
[19:32] <holstein> if the perfomance seems worth the hassle
[19:33] <holstein> anyways, -lowlatency is reall quite tolerable
[19:33] <Strayfolk> if I could have wifi + firewire + pulseaudio with OK performance, I wouldn't care about which gfx driver I use
[19:33] <holstein> pulse?
[19:33] <Strayfolk> pulseaudio
[19:33] <holstein> you dont want to use pulse in the studio though
[19:34] <Strayfolk> even with firewire?
[19:34] <holstein> JACK is what you need
[19:35] <Strayfolk> I know
[19:35] <Strayfolk> I meant jack+pulse
[19:35] <holstein> right
[19:35] <holstein> thats software
[19:35] <holstein> there are a couple ways to do that
[19:35] <Strayfolk> both working, and preferably interconnected
[19:35] <holstein> after you get a stable rig
[19:35] <holstein> i wouldnt even put that on the table
[19:35] <holstein> til you get the graphics+RT worked out
[19:36] <Strayfolk> the vesa framebuffer doesn't support my screen resolution, so I don't think that's an option
[19:36] <Strayfolk> so I don't know what to do, other than to wait for new versions that'll magically work
[19:37] <holstein> or get a different graphics card
[19:37] <Strayfolk> laptop
[19:38] <Strayfolk> well. good talking to you
[19:38] <Strayfolk> I'm out
[19:38] <Strayfolk> (idling)
[19:39] <holstein> Strayfolk: laterx
