| scriptwarlock | ping anyone | 12:40 |
|---|---|---|
| astraljava | scriptwarlock: pong | 12:55 |
| scriptwarlock | you using ustudio? | 12:56 |
| astraljava | I sure am. | 12:57 |
| astraljava | precise, though. | 12:58 |
| scriptwarlock | what advantage do we have on rtkernel over the standard kernel ubuntu uses? | 13:00 |
| astraljava | We don't have an rt-kernel. Oneiric (and prior all the way up to I can't recall which release) used the same the vanilla used. But for precise, there's going to be a -lowlatency kernel. | 13:00 |
| scriptwarlock | what does that mean astraljava? | 13:01 |
| astraljava | But I'm not the guy to answer the pros and cons about kernels. I get the basic idea, which is quite obvious from the name already, ie. lowering the latency of the system. | 13:01 |
| scriptwarlock | this is my first time to use ustudio and was very delighted | 13:02 |
| scriptwarlock | although i was used now to unity and this release is xfcw | 13:02 |
| astraljava | People have been testing this new kernel, and from their reports I can concoct that it's going to be awesome for the majority of audio creators. For others, I'm not sure whether they benefit from it at all. | 13:02 |
| scriptwarlock | xfce | 13:02 |
| astraljava | Yeah, the switch was done for oneiric already, but now it got polished a little bit further. | 13:03 |
| astraljava | IMHO, this is one of the most solid releases we've done thus far. | 13:03 |
| astraljava | I hope others will feel the same when they get to use it. | 13:03 |
| scriptwarlock | i have ustudio precise on vmware and was very happy although a lot of apps that i dont need really is it safe to remove some of this? | 13:04 |
| astraljava | scriptwarlock: It is. Mind you, when you remove something a meta-package (like ubuntustudio-desktop) depends on, you'll lose automatic updates that normally belong to the default installation setup. But it's not a problem, really. Everything can be installed back if you want to. | 13:05 |
| scriptwarlock | of course | 13:05 |
| astraljava | And by automatic updates here I mean new features that are marked with the meta-package. But this late into the cycle, there won't be any. | 13:05 |
| scriptwarlock | someone told me here that there was a plan to install apps by option thru usc | 13:06 |
| astraljava | Ok, I'm gonna head back to sauna now. Just realised sitting there I left out some links from the email to the list. | 13:06 |
| astraljava | Yeah I don't know when we get to that. | 13:07 |
| astraljava | Maybe during the next cycle. | 13:07 |
| astraljava | Talk to you later, have fun with precise! :) | 13:07 |
| scriptwarlock | thanks astraljava | 13:07 |
| thebishop | is anyone testing firewire sound cards in 12.04? I couldn't get jack to start with my saffire pro24 (supported by ffado) | 19:07 |
| holstein | thebishop: works live with my presonus firepod | 20:33 |
| holstein | try gksudo qjackctl | 20:33 |
| thebishop | holstein, hmm. well, i'd rather not run as root, but i did try it. permissions don't seem to be the problem. i'm wondering if realtime prio is configured properly | 20:33 |
| thebishop | studio gets permissions right. i have read/write to /dev/fw1 via the audio group | 20:34 |
| holstein | thebishop: im suggesting as a troubleshooting step | 20:35 |
| holstein | thebishop: if it runs, you know its permissions related | 20:35 |
| thebishop | holstein, sure. i did try it. I'm running jackd -d firewire -p 256 -n 2 -r 48000 | 20:36 |
| thebishop | as root or not | 20:36 |
| holstein | i dont run JACK as root, but its one of the first things i do to troubleshoot | 20:36 |
| holstein | thebishop: if you would, run "gksudo qjackctl" | 20:36 |
| holstein | try the firewire driver, see if it runs | 20:36 |
| thebishop | firewire ERR: Could not start streaming threads | 20:36 |
| holstein | that works for me from the LIVE CD | 20:36 |
| holstein | thebishop: has it worked in the past? | 20:37 |
| holstein | is the kernel seeing the firewire controller? | 20:37 |
| thebishop | holstein, yes to both | 20:37 |
| thebishop | although i've had to build jack and ffado from svn | 20:37 |
| holstein | thebishop: try from the live CD | 20:37 |
| thebishop | i'll do that | 20:37 |
| holstein | on the stock stuff.. just to be sure | 20:38 |
