| zequence | OvenWerk1: Works fine in gnome. I'll try it in Unity once I get the chance | 17:24 |
|---|---|---|
| zequence | (I haven't tried Gnome in 14.04, though, so I shouldn't say anything yet) | 17:24 |
| zequence | stochastic: Would you be interested in re-introducing linux-rt into Ubuntu? Not to replace linux-lowlatency, however. As an addition. | 21:01 |
| zequence | I've been planning on doing that, but lack of time, and other priorities have made me not even begin to work on that | 21:02 |
| stochastic | zequence, what would the motivation for doing that be? | 21:11 |
| zequence | stochastic: -rt performs better. But, it's more work maintaining it, of course | 21:17 |
| zequence | -lowlatency is alright, and best of all, it's mostly maintained by Canonical (just recently there was a bug that only affected threadirqs enabled kernels, so those do happen) | 21:18 |
| zequence | in the case of the bug, we had to disable threadirqs during development, until the bug was fixed in vanilla, and found its way to Ubuntu | 21:19 |
| zequence | ..but -lowlatency is not optimal in all situations | 21:20 |
| zequence | not a top priority in any way, but it would be nice to also have a -rt to choose from | 21:20 |
| stochastic | well given that there's not many UbuntuStudio devs currently, I think maintaining a new kernel flavour would be a tall task | 21:20 |
| stochastic | particularly if it's just for slight improvement in some situations | 21:21 |
| zequence | well, that all depends on the individual interestes among the developers | 21:21 |
| stochastic | I'll consider it though. | 21:21 |
| zequence | only if you'd like to do it | 21:21 |
| zequence | the biggest issue with have, I think, is that we don't have a testing routine in place at all | 21:22 |
| zequence | we import packages directly from Debian, but sometimes they are bugyy | 21:22 |
| zequence | ..and if they are fixed, the fix comes later than it needed to | 21:23 |
| zequence | and, rt privilege, if considering the whole of Ubuntu, not just Ubuntu Studio | 21:23 |
| zequence | stochastic: are you well acquainted with setting up a system for low latency? And, do you have good experience in the effects of certain configs? | 21:24 |
| zequence | stochastic: If you do, it would be nice if you had a look at what we have, or lack. | 21:25 |
| stochastic | well acquainted, not quite; familiar, yes. | 21:26 |
| zequence | stochastic: Well, don't hesitate to ask about anything. Between me and OvenWerk1, we know pretty much everything that makes up Ubuntu Studio | 21:26 |
| zequence | ..and no doubt, we are missing obvious possible improvements | 21:27 |
| zequence | I mean, we could be | 21:27 |
| zequence | just today, I had a discussion with some people at #ardour about a2jmidid. jack1 autoruns it. jack2 doesn't | 21:29 |
| zequence | that kind of stuff. midi tweaking is something I have been involved in very little | 21:29 |
| zequence | I'll start working on next cycle planning this week, so that we can start defining features for next release (trusty+1) | 21:31 |
