[01:42] <cccangel> astraljava... you around?
[02:08] <len_> ScottL, aeolus works on my netbook... unless something has been fixed from yesterday.
[02:11] <len_> phasex crashed still.
[03:43] <len_> ScottL, it seems the synths that crashed are ones that try to deal with alsa and get pulse. It may be that because I had all pulse's outputs, including jack, turned off that this was a problem. I will have to try all this on my desktop... another day.
[03:43] <len_> However, I was able to get all the sound generators to run.
[03:54] <len_> Nope nothing is certain, they work sometimes and not others.
[21:50] <shnatsel> Hello
[21:50] <shnatsel> I just wanted to let you know that I'm hacking OS performance now
[21:51] <shnatsel> I'm hacking ulatencyd right now, I think it could be of use to you. It's a handy way to delegate realtime privileges to select apps, and does lots of other useful things.
[21:51] <shnatsel> I'm hacking on its proper integration, I mean.
[21:51] <shnatsel> More info here: http://shnatsel.blogspot.com/2012/04/5-ideas-that-every-desktop-os-should.html
[22:14] <len__> shnatsel, I like most of those things... but not the raising priority of the focused window. Windows has had something similar since win3. Anything with a window has had more priority than background stuff. (I know not quite the same) Doing machine control with a windows machine gets painful for that reason.... (I haven't worked with any win stuff since nt so things may be better. I don't know how current audio/midi apps are done, but it used to be
[22:14] <len__>  that the UI and the engine were separate. The engine ran at high priority and the UI lower. Your idea would reverse that.
[22:15] <len__> Having said that, I am also assuming the priority control could be turned off.
[22:15] <shnatsel> len: well, increasing priority of the *currently focused* window shouldn't harm anything.
[22:15] <shnatsel> len__: yes, sure
[22:16] <len__> I think it would work well for most computer use.
[22:18] <len__> I wouldn't want it on a server.... but then x is not a normal server app anyway.
[23:28] <len__> ScottL first boot after install seems to be where all my sound gen problems were, on both machines.
[23:30] <len__> That is boot the ISO live, install, then reboot. At that point I had problems with aeolus and phasex crashing. After reboot a second time all that went away.
[23:32] <len__> I am thinking there are a bunch of things that ask to be installed right after first boot and that is what messes things up. I think I will mark the bugs created as invalid if nobody else has any problems.
