| ubottu | The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com | 07:42 |
| smartboyhw | Let me switch that to our own channel:P | 07:42 |
| smartboyhw | !support-#ubuntustudio-devel is <reply> This is the Ubuntu Studio development channel. Our official support channel is on #ubuntustudio. Also see http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335 | 07:46 |
| zequence | smartboyhw: Is Ho your lastname. Which is your first name? | 09:55 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, why? | 10:26 |
| zequence | smartboyhw: I just thought it might be nice to know your name. I know traditionally Chinese always put their last name first, but since I'm not used to the names, it's hard for me to tell which is which. | 10:32 |
| zequence | I know it's common also to keep a western name, but if I know your actual name, I'd rather use that | 10:33 |
| zequence | I've updated the header. Now, both https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/ have the same style of headers | 10:34 |
| smartboyhw | My real name is Chan Ho Wan. Chan is my surname, Ho Wan is my first name. But then my English name is Howard, and I'd prefer using Howard Chan. | 10:35 |
| zequence | Chan is not the same as Zhang and Chang, then? | 10:36 |
| zequence | If you prefer Howard, the that is what I will use :) | 10:36 |
| zequence | I just need to make it clearer which wiki one is on. It's a little hard to tell right now :P | 10:37 |
| zequence | Also, I need to put it on many of our important pages | 10:38 |

| len-1304 | hyperthreading is bad for lowlatency, didn't know that. | 14:03 |
| len-1304 | The Linux console is bad for it too. | 14:04 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, yes | 14:10 |
| smartboyhw | Good one there | 14:10 |
| zequence | len-1304: What is Linux console? | 14:11 |
| len-1304 | ctl-alt-F1 to 6 | 14:12 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, nice headers for the wiki/ | 14:13 |
| len-1304 | Apparently, it uses kprint to write test to screen, which can take too much time if the text is long. | 14:13 |
| len-1304 | zequence, have you looked at the "nosoftlockup intel_idle.max_cstate=0 mce=ignore_ce kernel options? | 14:14 |
| zequence | len-1304: How is Linux Console bad for lowlatency? | 14:14 |
| zequence | len-1304: I haven't looked at the config, no. | 14:15 |
| len-1304 | I guess the consloe output of text to screen is atomic | 14:15 |
| len-1304 | *console | 14:15 |
| zequence | len-1304: You mean, if actively using the linux console, that is bad for lowlatency? | 14:16 |
| len-1304 | The recomendation is to use ssh instead. | 14:16 |
| len-1304 | Yes, also if the console logging was left on that is bad too. | 14:16 |
| len-1304 | I think we have it set to quiet at boot, Good. | 14:17 |
| zequence | len-1304: The nosoftlockup is a kernel parameter than, which can be set as a Grub boot option? What is your source for this | 14:17 |
| len-1304 | http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01804533/c01804533.pdf | 14:17 |
| len-1304 | All of the options I stated are boot options. | 14:18 |
| len-1304 | I started looking at SMI stuff, which was new to me. | 14:18 |
| len-1304 | I got started on this whole thing from: | 14:19 |
| len-1304 | http://manual.ardour.org/setting-up-your-system/the-right-computer-system-for-digital-audio/ | 14:19 |
| len-1304 | I have also found that USB Keyboards and mice are bad for latency. | 14:20 |
| len-1304 | Apparently the stock exchange people are really picky about latency. They are probaly doing more realtime reseach than in audio. | 14:21 |
| len-1304 | (ALSA being one of the extra services they turn off) | 14:21 |
| zequence | I've saved this stuff for later. I was actually just about to start doing some kernel testing, while I study here at school | 14:22 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, the IT courses? | 14:22 |
| zequence | smartboyhw: I'm studying for different certificates. Linux, Cisco, etc | 14:24 |
| smartboyhw | zequence, add oil | 14:24 |
| smartboyhw | Hey scott-work | 14:27 |
| scott-work | morning smartboyhw | 14:48 |
| zequence | I'm surrounded by Windows nerds at the school I go to | 16:48 |
| zequence | A quote "you can't have all existing drivers distributed in a all-in-one package" | 16:49 |
| zequence | "It would take too much room" | 16:49 |
| zequence | space* | 16:49 |
| zequence | These Windows guys just can't believe the idea that you just install an OS, and everything just works | 16:50 |
| zequence | Made me wonder, how much of available linux drivers, that are legally possible to distribute, are not distributed with, say Ubuntu | 16:51 |
| zequence | I'm kind of thinking less then 5%, but then, I don't know what "all" means | 16:51 |
| zequence | Found this site, a database for drivers on Debian systems http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ | 17:34 |
| zequence | ttoine: So, the interview is tomorrow, right? | 20:13 |
| zequence | I've been putting too much time on header design. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Navigation/HeaderStaging | 20:14 |
| ttoine | zequence, yes | 22:18 |
| zequence | ttoine: I wrote down a couple questions more | 23:32 |
| zequence | It's really hard. It does seem like Stephane has commited every change to jack2, I think all of them | 23:34 |
| zequence | But, not his patches, all of them | 23:34 |
| zequence | Seems like he's the administrator of the code, or something | 23:34 |
| zequence | Just had a look at the git logs, and that shows a different story | 23:39 |
| zequence | But, Stephane is still the guy who does the most commits | 23:39 |
| zequence | It's late. Good luck with the interview tomorrow :) | 23:40 |
