[07:42] <smartboyhw> !support
[07:42] <smartboyhw> Let me switch that to our own channel:P
[07:46] <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
[09:55] <zequence> smartboyhw: Is Ho your lastname. Which is your first name?
[10:26] <smartboyhw> zequence, why?
[10:32] <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. 
[10:33] <zequence> I know it's common also to keep a western name, but if I know your actual name, I'd rather use that
[10:34] <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
[10:35] <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.
[10:36] <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 :)
[10:37] <zequence> I just need to make it clearer which wiki one is on. It's a little hard to tell right now :P
[10:38] <zequence> Also, I need to put it on many of our important pages
[12:24] <IdleOne> !support | smartboyhw 
[12:25] <IdleOne> :)
[14:03] <len-1304> hyperthreading is bad for lowlatency, didn't know that.
[14:04] <len-1304> The Linux console is bad for it too.
[14:10] <smartboyhw> zequence, yes
[14:10] <smartboyhw> Good one there
[14:11] <zequence> len-1304: What is Linux console?
[14:12] <len-1304> ctl-alt-F1 to 6
[14:13] <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.
[14:14] <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?
[14:15] <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
[14:16] <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.
[14:17] <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
[14:18] <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.
[14:19] <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/
[14:20] <len-1304> I have also found that USB Keyboards and mice are bad for latency.
[14:21] <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)
[14:22] <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?
[14:24] <zequence> smartboyhw: I'm studying for different certificates. Linux, Cisco, etc
[14:24] <smartboyhw> zequence, add oil
[14:27] <smartboyhw> Hey scott-work 
[14:48] <scott-work> morning smartboyhw 
[16:48] <zequence> I'm surrounded by Windows nerds at the school I go to
[16:49] <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*
[16:50] <zequence> These Windows guys just can't believe the idea that you just install an OS, and everything just works
[16:51] <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
[17:34] <zequence> Found this site, a database for drivers on Debian systems http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
[20:13] <zequence> ttoine: So, the interview is tomorrow, right?
[20:14] <zequence> I've been putting too much time on header design. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Navigation/HeaderStaging
[22:18] <ttoine> zequence, yes
[23:32] <zequence> ttoine: I wrote down a couple questions more
[23:34] <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
[23:39] <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
[23:40] <zequence> It's late. Good luck with the interview tomorrow :)
