[01:42] astraljava... you around? [02:08] ScottL, aeolus works on my netbook... unless something has been fixed from yesterday. [02:11] phasex crashed still. [03:43] 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] However, I was able to get all the sound generators to run. [03:54] Nope nothing is certain, they work sometimes and not others. [21:50] Hello [21:50] I just wanted to let you know that I'm hacking OS performance now [21:51] 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] I'm hacking on its proper integration, I mean. [21:51] More info here: http://shnatsel.blogspot.com/2012/04/5-ideas-that-every-desktop-os-should.html [22:14] 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] 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] Having said that, I am also assuming the priority control could be turned off. [22:15] len: well, increasing priority of the *currently focused* window shouldn't harm anything. [22:15] len__: yes, sure [22:16] I think it would work well for most computer use. [22:18] I wouldn't want it on a server.... but then x is not a normal server app anyway. [23:28] ScottL first boot after install seems to be where all my sound gen problems were, on both machines. [23:30] 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] 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.
