[00:16] <DaNoiseMann> hello, anyone up here installed Ubuntu Studio on Mac?? I would like to ask a few questions, and talk about some topics
[00:17] <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] <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"...
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <DaNoiseMann> perfect, know how to do that
[00:22] <DaNoiseMann> running lowlatency kernels since a few years =)
[00:23] <DaNoiseMann> thanks for the help
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <DaNoiseMann> there are no i386 which says Mac
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <zequence> DaNoiseMann: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation
[00:35] <DaNoiseMann> great!!! now I can see a widest picture of the whole business
[05:23] <luisv> hola..
[20:43] <kksafak> hi
[20:54] <sirriffsalot> kksafak: hey
