[01:37] hey guys I'm think I need help editing my bash.rc file [01:38] NOTE: Gem::Specification#default_executable= is deprecated with no replacement. It will be removed on or after 2011-10-01. [01:38] Gem::Specification#default_executable= called from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/treetop-1.4.8.gemspec:11. [01:38] rails (3.0.7, 3.0.0) [01:38] can anybody help? [02:26] I was wondering if anybody can help me [02:26] http://pastebin.com/8WkhqRDC [04:08] whoaski: did you build it? === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [14:01] I'm thinking about reinstalling my system soon... and reformatting the HD too [14:02] which file system would you recommend for a ubuntu studio + ubuntu dual boot + shared home? [14:07] I heard somewhere that ext3 would be more suitable for audio work, does that concern the /home partition or the /, from which the operating system is running? [14:07] ext3 vs ext4 that is... [14:08] I'm currently using ext4 on both /home and / [15:42] Strayfolk: last time [15:42] i did ext2 [15:42] for my tracking partition [15:42] well, my tracking hard drive [15:42] but, this very last time, i asked around [15:42] and ended up going with ext4 [15:43] i wouldnt lose any sleep over it though [15:43] ideally, you would not have your OS on the same hard drive you are recording to [15:48] ok, thanks [15:48] I don't. my sessions folder is on the home partition [15:49] Strayfolk: if you can [15:50] thats where you'd see some performance increase [15:50] again, i wouldnt lose sleep over it :) [15:50] I'd like to get rid of the xruns... [15:53] the only stable recording environment for me now is the rt-2.6.31, but that leaves me with a very crippled desktop [15:54] I've tried some live distros with more recent kernels, and that seems to work better for me [15:55] I'm hoping 11.04 will perform better for me [15:57] Strayfolk: you tried -lowlatency? [15:57] the -generic kernel in 11.04 seemed much improved [15:58] ya, lowlatency won't run [15:58] run? [15:58] won't boot [15:59] interesting [15:59] might want to try re-installing [15:59] thats the kernel for you* [15:59] yes, that's what I'm talking about ;) [15:59] if the RT is causing trouble [15:59] I'm Gonna reinstall soon [15:59] Strayfolk: reinstall the kernel* [16:00] through synaptic for instance? [16:00] sure [16:00] however you want [16:00] sounds like a broken package to me [16:00] some kernels won't install with the nvidia-current pack [16:00] I've reinstalled the nvidias [16:01] I tried running without, but that caused total system hangs [16:01] with the nouveau [16:01] im using abogani/falks kernel [16:01] -realtime [16:01] with nvidia current [16:01] works great :) [16:01] exactly that one won't install for me [16:01] sorry [16:01] well, i would find falk [16:01] and ask whats up with that [16:01] he has a seperate kernel PPA now [16:02] first I'd like to reinstall the whole system, because there's so much broken / worked around that works automagically with newer kernels [16:02] http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/KXStudio:Repositories [16:02] Strayfolk: you can reinstall [16:02] however [16:02] before doing that [16:02] if i were you [16:03] i would sort out what kernel you need [16:03] so, if you break something [16:03] you have the final step of reinstalling [16:03] true [16:03] *cant hurt [16:03] need to back up everything first [16:04] about repos. if I were to use KX's repos, would it be recommended to remove any other PPAs, then reinstall the kernels & all [16:06] ...like abogani, tangostudio, etc. [16:07] holstein, you're using 11.04 right? which kernel are you using? [16:08] -realtime? [16:08] and nvidia? [16:08] and wifi? [16:10] I'm off practicing, leaving idle [16:10] bye! [16:17] Strayfolk: im using 10.04 on my production machine [16:17] with the -realtime kernel from falk/abogani [16:17] and nvidia [16:18] it doesnt have wifi [16:18] the 11.04 testing install i have is ATI [16:18] and i have issues with the -realtime kernel and the broadcom wifi [16:47] Strayfolk: however, everywhere i have tried the -lowlatency kernel [16:47] hardware support seems great [16:48] -generic support with lower latency capabilities [20:07] ok, so now I'm running the 2.6.38-8-lowlatency. but now my old firewire stack won't load [20:07] old 1394 stack present.... False [20:07] old 1394 stack loaded..... False [20:07] old 1394 stack active..... False [20:11] Strayfolk: right [20:11] i dont see how that could be related [20:11] but, it could b [20:12] however, i dont need the old stack [20:12] so, im not sure whats up with that and the new kernels [20:12] nor, do a really have a decent way of testing for that [20:12] I forgot to update the rest of the packages... gonna try that first [20:12] yeah, thats a good bet [20:15] I deblacklisted the new firewire stack just quickly and see that it's on other IRQs than the ohci1394 [20:15] not sharing irqs with usb and gfx [20:16] could that be a reason to use the new stack [20:45] I did the updates, but I had to use the new stack apparently because of the kernel [20:45] so now jack is running, but 0 of my programs talks to jack nor ladish [20:55] after a 2nd reboot it works normally with the new stack, but produces xruns like never before [20:55] Strayfolk: plausible [20:55] that the new stack is not right for your gear [20:56] ok, so I'm out of luck. the best solution for me is to use an old RT kernel [20:57] Strayfolk: ? [20:57] i mean, im running 10.04 [20:57] with my firewire device [20:57] for us [20:57] i would say, you should run 10.04 [20:57] and maintain a testing partition [20:58] so we can see whats going on [20:58] I'm running 10.04 with the 2.6.38-8-lowlatency [20:58] now [20:58] and make sure you have good support in 12.04 [20:58] Strayfolk: yeah? [20:58] what new stack then? [20:58] as you told me [20:58] you dont have JACK2 right? [20:58] do you have falks ppa? [20:58] ya [20:58] I should have jack1? [21:00] Strayfolk: i cant say [21:00] for your particular gear [21:00] im just throwing out options [21:00] and trying to figure out whats up with your rig [21:00] yah, it's nice of you, I appreciate [21:00] Using: JACK 1.9.7 [21:01] Strayfolk: :) [21:01] Strayfolk: you could try adding falks PPAs [21:01] thats what i have in 10.04 [21:01] falks and kx studio? [21:02] or are they the same [21:02] hmmm [21:02] falk develops KXstudio [21:02] the PPA's are the packages for KX [21:02] that we can use in ubuntu [21:02] since KX is bases on ubuntu 10.04 [21:02] we add the PPA [21:03] and take advantage of the newer packages [21:03] I'm with you [21:03] and as long as you dont mind waiting [21:03] and are comfortable running purge-ppa [21:03] then, it literally cant hurt [21:04] I appear to have ppa:falk-t-lucid [21:04] already [21:04] there are some newer ones now [21:04] http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/KXStudio:Repositories [21:04] that one is depricated [21:05] from here I added the ppa and the kernel [21:05] what are you suggesting? [21:07] I use the jack2 1.9.7 from that page [21:08] should I try this: [21:08] The JACK1 PPA forces the installation of JACK1 over the default JACK2 used in KXStudio. [21:08] This PPA depends on 'Main'. [21:08] Link - https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-team/+archive/jack1 | ppa:kxstudio-team/jack1 [21:12] Strayfolk: i have all of those PPAs [21:13] not the games and audio* [21:13] just the important [21:13] ones [21:13] the jack1 too? [21:13] no [21:13] i have jack2 [21:13] BUT [21:13] thats a good option for you [21:13] if you try jack2 [21:13] and its not happenin [21:14] the only package in that ppa is called dummy and the description is TODO [21:16] Strayfolk: probably on the way then :) [21:17] as long as you know how to purge [21:17] just try them [21:17] i cant say what will work [21:17] you'll just have to fiddle with the config and your hardware [23:26] does anyone know the best synth+keyboard programs? [23:26] Swami doesnt run for me :(
