| DaNoiseMann | hello, anyone up here installed Ubuntu Studio on Mac?? I would like to ask a few questions, and talk about some topics | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | DaNoiseMann: you can look up information about ubuntu on mac's in general | 00:17 |
| holstein | DaNoiseMann: ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu.. | 00:17 |
| holstein | !mac | 00:17 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 00:17 |
| zequence | DaNoiseMann: Try the live DVD to see how it goes. You can try out your hardware that way | 00:17 |
| holstein | DaNoiseMann: i have installed ubuntu on a mac years ago, and it was "problematic"... | 00:17 |
| holstein | there are mac specific iso's now, which i think i would use, and add our ubuntustudio packages to | 00:18 |
| DaNoiseMann | thanks, I know that ubuntu studio is ubuntu already, but since it uses xfce, there must be some differences | 00:18 |
| zequence | I remember using the puredyne live DVD with a Intel MacBook. Was no problem | 00:18 |
| zequence | based on 9.10 | 00:18 |
| zequence | DaNoiseMann: There are no differences when it comes to hardware support | 00:19 |
| holstein | DaNoiseMann: the differences are in look/feel and configuration | 00:19 |
| DaNoiseMann | I already made this steps a few times in the past, got great results running xwax with serato, getting a latency of 1.33 ms and working perfect with a maya 44 without preamps | 00:19 |
| DaNoiseMann | thanks a lot for your answers | 00:19 |
| DaNoiseMann | I will check the wiki, and probably will install xubuntu, and then upgrade to ubuntu studio | 00:20 |
| zequence | DaNoiseMann: Then you might as well install Ubuntu Studio right away | 00:20 |
| zequence | As it is based on Xubuntu | 00:20 |
| holstein | DaNoiseMann: i would use the mac specific iso's, or at least entertain using them... | 00:21 |
| zequence | You'll need to do two things if you install anything else but Ubuntu Studio. 1. Add yourself to audio group. 2 install linux-lowlatency | 00:21 |
| zequence | 1) is needed for realtime privilege | 00:21 |
| DaNoiseMann | perfect, know how to do that | 00:22 |
| DaNoiseMann | running lowlatency kernels since a few years =) | 00:22 |
| DaNoiseMann | thanks for the help | 00:23 |
| DaNoiseMann | one more question: at UbuntuHashes I found an ISO which says: "ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64+mac.iso", the question is, is for 64 bit Macs? Don't know if Mac uses 64 bits, in that case I should get a 32 bits version or doesn' t matter? I'm on a core 2 duo MacBook | 00:27 |
| zequence | DaNoiseMann: I'd go with the 32 bit version | 00:27 |
| zequence | DaNoiseMann: Mostly because of getting the benefit of two cores | 00:28 |
| DaNoiseMann | zequence, is the only version which says Mac | 00:28 |
| zequence | DaNoiseMann: The 64bit will work, but in my exprerience, with newer release at least, having only one core often makes the system freeze periodically under heavy load. I just find two cores more efficient | 00:28 |
| DaNoiseMann | there are no i386 which says Mac | 00:29 |
| holstein | DaNoiseMann: i would just try whatever you are more comfortable with live, and go from there if you have issues | 00:30 |
| DaNoiseMann | would try a few versions with liveCD then | 00:30 |
| zequence | DaNoiseMann: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation | 00:31 |
| DaNoiseMann | great!!! now I can see a widest picture of the whole business | 00:35 |
| luisv | hola.. | 05:23 |
