| neo_ | hello folks | 03:06 |
|---|---|---|
| neo_ | :-) | 03:07 |
| holstein | o/ | 03:07 |
| neo_ | just wanted to drop by and say hi | 03:07 |
| neo_ | had a successful upgrade to 13.10 today | 03:07 |
| neo_ | I had tried 13.04 back in the summer, but it didn't support my m-audio usb sound module | 03:08 |
| holstein | i do LTS on my production machines | 03:08 |
| neo_ | after upgrading to 13.10, my sound module is supported and shows right up in audacity, etc. | 03:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | How's that signed image for 14.04 coming? | 03:08 |
| holstein | signed kernel? | 03:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yeah. I dropped by a few months ago and asked about it. *kernel | 03:11 |
| neo_ | how's the hardware support on LTS? | 03:13 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: you would need to ask in the main dev channel | 03:17 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: you can ask upstream kernel team | 03:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh OK | 03:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I'll do that | 03:18 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: nothing about that will facilitate any audio workflow | 03:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Well I must be one of 6 people with UEFI that uses Studio... | 03:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | :P | 03:23 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: you should be able to disable it in the bios | 03:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | As in use CSM | 03:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ( We had this convo before, I just know it (: ) | 03:24 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: i dont have the hardware, so i dont know | 03:24 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: i just read that it can be disabled on many machines | 03:24 |
| holstein | neo_: hardware support is the same as the kernel, really | 03:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I mean yeah I can use CSM, but that would require me to change my entire partition table from GPT to "legacy," which means potential risk for the Windows 8(.1) partition that I still can't get rid of because of certain programs that don | 03:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | +'t work under Wine. | 03:26 |
| * SonikkuAmerica knows full well he could just get Xubuntu and the Studio metas, but if there's an image... | 03:27 | |
| holstein | neo_: the reason to run the lts (or not) is really just that.. long term, or newer | 03:27 |
| holstein | new packages vs longer term for support | 03:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (3 years, right? Like Xubuntu?) | 03:28 |
| holstein | the hardware supported could be different, but likely nothing that we would be specifically dealing with in proaudio in linux would change all that much | 03:28 |
| holstein | the lts's are 5 years now | 03:28 |
| holstein | !lts | 03:28 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 03:28 |
| holstein | or, thats the plan.. maybe that gets dropped back to 3 | 03:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | holstein: So Studio is doing the 5-year plan? I mean knome stated that Xubuntu is a 3-year LTS cycle, but Xubuntu is Xubuntu, not Studio. | 03:29 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: AFAIK, the derivitives get to decide | 03:30 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: the main repos for 12.04 are maintained for 5 years | 03:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | holstein: I think Lubuntu 14.04 as well is going for 3 years | 03:30 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: if you run xubuntu, or ubuntustudio 12.04, or any of the rest of them, the repos are going to still be hot | 03:31 |
| holstein | for 5 years | 03:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ow! I burned myself for 5 years! :) | 03:31 |
| holstein | the kernel is still maintained | 03:31 |
| holstein | something very xubuntu specific could matter, but, even xfce and all the others are maintained | 03:31 |
