[17:24] <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)
[21:01] <zequence> stochastic: Would you be interested in re-introducing linux-rt into Ubuntu? Not to replace linux-lowlatency, however. As an addition.
[21:02] <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
[21:11] <stochastic> zequence, what would the motivation for doing that be?
[21:17] <zequence> stochastic: -rt performs better. But, it's more work maintaining it, of course
[21:18] <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)
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <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
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <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
[21:24] <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?
[21:25] <zequence> stochastic: If you do, it would be nice if you had a look at what we have, or lack.
[21:26] <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
[21:27] <zequence> ..and no doubt, we are missing obvious possible improvements
[21:27] <zequence> I mean, we could be
[21:29] <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
[21:31] <zequence> I'll start working on next cycle planning this week, so that we can start defining features for next release (trusty+1)
