[09:29] does ubuntustudio come with a low latency kernel that supports the nvidia drivers? [10:11] 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] 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] Here's a launchpad page for it https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa [10:12] To install the kernel, just do.. [10:13] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:abogani/ppa [10:13] sudo apt-get update [10:13] sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency [10:14] At times, the kernel will not work with nvidia drivers due to missing headers or something like that [10:15] ailo, thanks [10:15] 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] but i tried to install that kernel inXubuntu11.10 [10:15] What kernel? [10:15] and nvidia drivers don work [10:16] one moment [10:16] 3.0.0.13.15 [10:16] Yeah, it's ahead of -generic [10:17] Xubuntu refuses to start [10:17] can i install an older low latency kernel in 11.10? [10:17] You mean, you end up with a bash shell login, instead of a graphical one? [10:17] with proven nvidia drivers? [10:18] even before that [10:18] it stops nearly right away [10:18] just when the splash screen of Xubuntu comes up [10:19] i get some xruns with generic kernel [10:19] using twinview with nvidia [10:20] latency of 1.3 ms [10:20] As soon as -generic is updated, it should work [10:20] but sometimes xruns [10:20] you mean with the generic kernel? [10:21] No, the -lowlatency [10:21] I'm not totally sure here, mind you, but I believe the headers for -generic need to be installed [10:22] i do not understand: shouldn t i install the nvidia drivers once i am in the running low latency kernel? [10:22] 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] so it builds in that kernel? [10:23] right [10:23] i get that too [10:24] 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] That happens automatically when updating the kernel each time, given the headers are exisiting [10:26] i see i have linux-headers-generic installed [10:26] Yea, but not the right version [10:26] You need 3.0.0-13 [10:26] true :( [10:27] 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] tjingboem, drop by #opensourcemusicians if you want to talk generally about linux audio [10:34] will do ailo, thanks for your attention! [10:35] tjingboem, No problem.
