[09:29] <tjingboem> does ubuntustudio come with a low latency kernel that supports the nvidia drivers?
[10:11] <ailo> tjingboem, At this time ubuntustudio / ubuntu doesn't include a low latency kernel in the repo, but you can add a ppa to install it
[10:11] <ailo> The -lowlatency kernel is more or less exactly the same as -generic, only it has been configured slightly differently when compiled, so anything that works with the standard -generic should also work with -lowlatency
[10:12] <ailo> Here's a launchpad page for it https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa
[10:12] <ailo> To install the kernel, just do..
[10:13] <ailo> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:abogani/ppa
[10:13] <ailo> sudo apt-get update
[10:13] <ailo> sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency
[10:14] <ailo> At times, the kernel will not work with nvidia drivers due to missing headers or something like that
[10:15] <tjingboem> ailo, thanks
[10:15] <ailo> At this time, I believe -lowlatency will not work with nvidia drivers, since it's ahead of -generic. I would need to test to be sure
[10:15] <tjingboem> but i tried to install that kernel inXubuntu11.10
[10:15] <ailo> What kernel?
[10:15] <tjingboem> and nvidia drivers don work
[10:16] <tjingboem> one moment
[10:16] <tjingboem> 3.0.0.13.15
[10:16] <ailo> Yeah, it's ahead of -generic
[10:17] <tjingboem> Xubuntu refuses to start
[10:17] <tjingboem> can i install an older low latency kernel in 11.10?
[10:17] <ailo> You mean, you end up with a bash shell login, instead of a graphical one?
[10:17] <tjingboem> with proven nvidia drivers?
[10:18] <tjingboem> even before that
[10:18] <tjingboem> it stops nearly right away
[10:18] <tjingboem> just when the splash screen of Xubuntu comes up
[10:19] <tjingboem> i get some xruns with generic kernel
[10:19] <tjingboem> using twinview with nvidia
[10:20] <tjingboem> latency of 1.3 ms
[10:20] <ailo> As soon as -generic is updated, it should work
[10:20] <tjingboem> but sometimes xruns
[10:20] <tjingboem> you mean with the generic kernel?
[10:21] <ailo> No, the -lowlatency
[10:21] <ailo> I'm not totally sure here, mind you, but I believe the headers for -generic need to be installed
[10:22] <tjingboem> i do not understand: shouldn t i install the nvidia drivers once i am in the running low latency kernel?
[10:22] <ailo> It's actually the headers for -lowlatency you need, but this is the problem I get when trying to install them "linux-headers-3.0.0-13-lowlatency : Depends: linux-headers-3.0.0-13 but it is not installable"
[10:23] <tjingboem> so it builds in that kernel?
[10:23] <tjingboem> right
[10:23] <tjingboem> i get that too
[10:24] <ailo> Yea, in orders for the drivers to work with the kernel, something needs to be built, and the headers are used for that.
[10:24] <ailo> That happens automatically when updating the kernel each time, given the headers are exisiting
[10:26] <tjingboem> i see i have linux-headers-generic installed
[10:26] <ailo> Yea, but not the right version
[10:26] <ailo> You need 3.0.0-13
[10:26] <tjingboem> true :(
[10:27] <ailo> Hopefully the -lowlatency will be included in the main repo for the next release. Until then we rely on Alessio Bogani to build and maintain the -lowlatency at that ppa
[10:32] <ailo> tjingboem, drop by #opensourcemusicians if you want to talk generally about linux audio
[10:34] <tjingboem> will do ailo, thanks for your attention!
[10:35] <ailo> tjingboem, No problem.
