=== jta is now known as jta_afk [07:42] !support [07:42] The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com [07:42] Let me switch that to our own channel:P [07:46] !support-#ubuntustudio-devel is 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] smartboyhw: Is Ho your lastname. Which is your first name? [10:26] zequence, why? [10:32] 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] 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] 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] 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] Chan is not the same as Zhang and Chang, then? [10:36] If you prefer Howard, the that is what I will use :) [10:37] I just need to make it clearer which wiki one is on. It's a little hard to tell right now :P [10:38] Also, I need to put it on many of our important pages [12:24] !support | smartboyhw [12:24] smartboyhw: This is the Ubuntu Studio development channel. Our official support channel is on #ubuntustudio. Also see http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335 [12:25] :) [14:03] hyperthreading is bad for lowlatency, didn't know that. [14:04] The Linux console is bad for it too. [14:10] zequence, yes [14:10] Good one there [14:11] len-1304: What is Linux console? [14:12] ctl-alt-F1 to 6 [14:13] zequence, nice headers for the wiki/ [14:13] Apparently, it uses kprint to write test to screen, which can take too much time if the text is long. [14:14] zequence, have you looked at the "nosoftlockup intel_idle.max_cstate=0 mce=ignore_ce kernel options? [14:14] len-1304: How is Linux Console bad for lowlatency? [14:15] len-1304: I haven't looked at the config, no. [14:15] I guess the consloe output of text to screen is atomic [14:15] *console [14:16] len-1304: You mean, if actively using the linux console, that is bad for lowlatency? [14:16] The recomendation is to use ssh instead. [14:16] Yes, also if the console logging was left on that is bad too. [14:17] I think we have it set to quiet at boot, Good. [14:17] 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] http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01804533/c01804533.pdf [14:18] All of the options I stated are boot options. [14:18] I started looking at SMI stuff, which was new to me. [14:19] I got started on this whole thing from: [14:19] http://manual.ardour.org/setting-up-your-system/the-right-computer-system-for-digital-audio/ [14:20] I have also found that USB Keyboards and mice are bad for latency. [14:21] Apparently the stock exchange people are really picky about latency. They are probaly doing more realtime reseach than in audio. [14:21] (ALSA being one of the extra services they turn off) [14:22] 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] zequence, the IT courses? [14:24] smartboyhw: I'm studying for different certificates. Linux, Cisco, etc [14:24] zequence, add oil [14:27] Hey scott-work [14:48] morning smartboyhw [16:48] I'm surrounded by Windows nerds at the school I go to [16:49] A quote "you can't have all existing drivers distributed in a all-in-one package" [16:49] "It would take too much room" [16:49] space* [16:50] These Windows guys just can't believe the idea that you just install an OS, and everything just works [16:51] Made me wonder, how much of available linux drivers, that are legally possible to distribute, are not distributed with, say Ubuntu [16:51] I'm kind of thinking less then 5%, but then, I don't know what "all" means [17:34] Found this site, a database for drivers on Debian systems http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ [20:13] ttoine: So, the interview is tomorrow, right? [20:14] I've been putting too much time on header design. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Navigation/HeaderStaging [22:18] zequence, yes [23:32] ttoine: I wrote down a couple questions more [23:34] It's really hard. It does seem like Stephane has commited every change to jack2, I think all of them [23:34] But, not his patches, all of them [23:34] Seems like he's the administrator of the code, or something [23:39] Just had a look at the git logs, and that shows a different story [23:39] But, Stephane is still the guy who does the most commits [23:40] It's late. Good luck with the interview tomorrow :)
