OvenWerksI suppose once you know how it is ok.00:00
OvenWerksAccess is faster00:02
DarkEraOvenWerks, kubuntu saucy?00:17
OvenWerksYa, saucy00:27
DarkErai believe i got the 3.9.0-2 generic kernel too on my ubuntu studio saucy dev partition, no lowlatency yet00:33
OvenWerksThat shouldn't be.00:48
OvenWerksYou should get lowlatency even if it's old00:49
OvenWerksThe only reason I have generic is because it is a kubuntu install00:49
OvenWerkszequence: Another idea... A ubuntustudio-install package01:15
DarkErai'll check on that tomorrow to make sure what kernel it is and let you know01:15
OvenWerkszequence: the idea is, install a ubuntu flavour01:16
OvenWerksDarkEra: ok, I will check my ubuntustudio install too01:16
OvenWerkszequence: install the ubuntustudio-install package.01:16
OvenWerkszequence: a menu item shows up in the system submenu01:17
OvenWerkszequence: starting it gives a gui that list the workflows.01:17
DarkErasince i'm still awake i might do so right away, i'll be right back01:18
OvenWerkszequence: the user checks the boxes they what to install or unchecks ones they want removed (might be more dangerous)01:18
OvenWerksHits go/install/whatever and the user gets put in audio (or whatever) group. The flag is set to yes for jack RT and the install gets done.01:19
DarkEraOvenWerks, 3.9.0-2-generic #7-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 20 14:23:48 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux01:21
OvenWerksIt could even be done like the msfonts installer where installing it runs the installer dialog.01:22
OvenWerksDarkera, I'll check here01:22
DarkEraok, thanks01:22
OvenWerksI have 3.8.0-19-lowlatency01:23
DarkErathat one is still showing in grub too01:24
OvenWerksVERSION="UbuntuStudio 13.10, Saucy Salamander"01:24
OvenWerksI haven't booted, just looking at the files in /boot on that partition and /etc/os-version01:25
OvenWerksBut I do not have any generic kernel.01:25
OvenWerksThere are some things that do load in the generic though.01:26
OvenWerksand once you do, the highest number becomes default01:26
DarkEraVERSION="13.10, Saucy Salamander"01:27
OvenWerksWe need to add a rule to the grub tree that if jackd is installed, low latency is always default01:27
DarkEraweird it pulled in the generic kernel01:27
OvenWerksIf you run synaptic and search linux01:28
OvenWerksactually search linux-generic.01:29
OvenWerksif you right click on it (in the window below) and select properties01:30
OvenWerksThe second tab is Dependencies01:30
DarkEraok, got it01:31
OvenWerksThe button at the top is a drop down menu that you can select Dependants01:31
OvenWerksThose are the things that depend on generic01:31
OvenWerksI have linux-server, linux-generic-pae and linux01:32
OvenWerks(remember this is a kubuntu install)01:32
DarkErait shows linux-generic, linux-server and linux01:32
OvenWerksSo you need to see if any of those are installed. Linux isn't here01:33
DarkErathis was a 13.04 ubuntu studio install that was upgraded to the development cycle 01:33
OvenWerksThat may be part of it. If so that is a bug.01:33
DarkEralinux-generic is installed, linux-server not from what i can see01:34
OvenWerksI am seeing the same things here01:35
OvenWerksI have generic, but none of the dependants are installed.01:36
OvenWerksI guess that method is not too good.01:36
OvenWerksI wonder if it is the upgrader01:37
OvenWerksDistrobution-upgrade may pull in the standard kernel for the new version.01:37
OvenWerkszequence: ^^^01:38
DarkErashould i remove them or just let it be as is for now01:39
OvenWerksYou can remove linux01:40
OvenWerksBut that is up to you01:40
OvenWerksIt works fine as is, but you need to boot from the menu under the default for lowlatency01:40
DarkEraok, i'll look into that later on when i'm up again. getting late here... or early... lol01:42
DarkEra3:43 am01:42
OvenWerksLate any way you look at it.01:42
OvenWerksGN01:42
DarkErachat you later and thanks again for the guidance 01:42
OvenWerksNo problem01:43
madeinkobaiaSee you all : )01:56
OvenWerksBye01:56
madeinkobaiaBy Len : )01:56
OvenWerkszequence: Another idea... menus this time.03:05
OvenWerksRight now we use a layout with our workflows near the top and our Studio info submenu at the bottom.03:06
OvenWerksBecause of the way other DE menus are put together it may make more sense to add it at the top or bottom of our workflow section.03:07
OvenWerksIt doesn't matter so much if we are building our own DE meta, but if we want to add the menu to a flavour it may help.03:08
zequenceOvenWerks, There is something weird happening with the -generic kernel, and I have no idea why it is pulled in06:10
zequenceOvenWerks, About the audio group, my intention is to fix that not only for Ubuntu Studio, but for Debian + Ubuntu, to make sure installing jack is all that is required in order to get realtime06:11
zequenceIt's impossible to administer groups for users using installers06:11
zequenceNot technically, but policy wise06:11
zequenceAt least, not automatically06:12
zequenceOne needs a tool for that, where the user is informed and allowed to choose06:12
OvenWerksTool = installer?06:19
OvenWerksRe -generic, I think what is happening is that as part of the standard distro-upgrade, the new kernel is installed.06:20
OvenWerkszequence: where in the seeds is our kernel? Used to be in desktop...06:40
OvenWerksIf the seeds are the metas that an upgrade uses and there is no kernel in the seeds/metas, does the distro upgrade sw install the generic kernel because there is nothing else?06:46
OvenWerkszequence: ^^06:47
zequenceOvenWerks, I really don't know why it is pulled in. Haven't thoroughly investigated06:57
zequenceThe tool could be a part of the installer, sure06:57
zequenceBut, I'd rather fix the way realtime is administered. It would make it so we don't need a tool06:58
zequenceI've been working on a realtime privilege administering tool for -controls, but I'm hoping I won't need to add it06:59
zequencephew, I've been sick, like poisoned for more than a day now. Starting to come back to life07:07
astraljavaUhh... that sounds nasty. What happened?10:01
=== kubotu_ is now known as kubotu
OvenWerkszequence: you have been timing out14:59
OvenWerksI have looked at the do-release-upgrade code as best I can15:00
OvenWerkshttps://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-release-upgrade15:00
OvenWerksIt seems to be pretty much meta based from what I can tell.15:01
OvenWerksWe have no kernel in any of our metas or in our seeds anywhere15:01
OvenWerksThe ISO still includes it so I don't know where it gets speced15:02
OvenWerksAnyway, do-release-upgrade, only mentions the kernel in one place and it is about removing old ones. It does show the variants it removes and RT is included, but low latency is not15:03
OvenWerksIt may be that it uses the remove variants to decide what it can replace it with.15:06
OvenWerkssorry, it calls them types.15:08
OvenWerksAlso, It is interesting that in removal_blacklist.cfg, all of the other flavour-desktop metas are mentioned, but not ubuntustudio15:11
OvenWerksthat may have to be so until the gnome2 DE is no longer supported ??15:12
OvenWerksThe metas that a studio upgrade is based on are ubuntustudio-desktop, ubuntustudio-default-settings, ubuntustudio-look and no others.15:15
OvenWerksThat should mean that any other metas are not release specific. This means that if ubuntustudio-recording is installed in 12.04 and we add an app to it in 13.10, that the 12.04 install would try to upgrade to the new meta... Or should.15:17
OvenWerkszequence: I am dumping all this in an email15:20
zequenceOvenWerks, Seems like we need to understand how the ISO is done better. I know that audio group is only added when installing from ISO, but haven't taken the time to find out how18:53
OvenWerksWell, I am installing precise now and will upgrade to 1304. I will check what I end up with.20:59
OvenWerksPackage wise21:00
OvenWerksHave to update the install first :)21:17
OvenWerks186 updates21:17
OvenWerkscomes with low-latency21:24
OvenWerksdo-release-upgrade -d gets me from P to Q. Descroption shows lowlatency kernel21:46
OvenWerksmaybe it will only be a problem from R to S21:46
OvenWerksI will try them all21:47
OvenWerksI think S does not have a new kernel yet, that may be why.21:48
zequenceOvenWerks, From what I've seen, just installing 32bit gets you -generic kernel21:57
zequenceSo, not just from upgrading21:57
zequenceAnd it may not be the same on 32bit and 64bit21:57
OvenWerksSo far all of my installs have been low latency.21:58
zequenceOvenWerks, Yes, lowlatency and* -generic in the case of 32bit21:58
zequenceCheck /boot for configs21:58
OvenWerksls /media/b98b7106-e426-4dae-bd0b-978f70936e2c/boot/21:59
OvenWerksabi-3.8.0-19-lowlatency         memtest86+.bin21:59
OvenWerksconfig-3.8.0-19-lowlatency      memtest86+_multiboot.bin21:59
OvenWerksgrub                            System.map-3.8.0-19-lowlatency21:59
OvenWerksinitrd.img-3.8.0-19-lowlatency  vmlinuz-3.8.0-19-lowlatency21:59
zequenceOk, so not in the case of raring22:00
OvenWerksThats 13.10 straight install22:00
zequenceOh, saucy then22:00
zequenceI've only checked precise and quantal22:00
OvenWerksprecice was correct too22:00
zequenceWell, for some reason, I had -generic installed on 32bit. I have no idea why, but it happened, both on Precise and Quantal22:01
zequenceThis was some time ago I had a look at that last22:02
zequenceMany months22:02
OvenWerksprecise was install plus all the updates to now. So it now has two lowlatency kernels.22:02
OvenWerksI haven't had that happen on any installs, that is why I thought maybe upgrades22:03
