| OvenWerk1 | zequence: Just installed 14.04 64bit on my new MB. Very happy with it. Everything just works. I opted for an i5 CPU over the i7 as the only differece I could find was hyperthreading on the i7. | 04:44 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerk1 | I can run the d66 at 16frames/2 periods with just the odd spurious xrun... or I can turn ondemand off and get no xruns :) | 04:45 |
| OvenWerk1 | I now have a lot more software to explore. The YC20 synth for example, I could not use on my old machine. | 04:47 |
| OvenWerk1 | http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2014-April/097402.html for more details | 04:50 |
| zequence | OvenWerk1: Good to hear. I'm sadly behind in what's new in Linux Audio myself. | 05:07 |
| zequence | Doesn't seem like Ubuntu wiki has anything notes about UtopicUnicorn yet. No release schedule to copy | 05:08 |
| zequence | I created a google calendar for that last year, but never went public with it. This time around, I ho | 05:08 |
| zequence | ..I hope it can come to some use | 05:09 |
| OvenWerk1 | Ya I was somewhat worried because I have heard a lot of people who had things no longer work when they got new HW. | 05:09 |
| zequence | OvenWerk1: Is the MB EFI capable? | 05:12 |
| zequence | I suppose you haven't tried installing EFI before now, anyway? | 05:12 |
| zequence | Having to create a special partition for it seemed a bit backwards to me - sort of overcomplicating something, but I suppose it is really the same with MBR. I haven't yet tried dual booting on EFI though | 05:14 |
| OvenWerk1 | It does but it will pick and choose too. | 05:15 |
| zequence | Ok, so it's like my most recent MB | 05:15 |
| zequence | It will only give you an EFI option, if the bootable device is EFI capable | 05:15 |
| OvenWerk1 | Our ISO comes up both ways and I can select how I want to boot it. | 05:15 |
| OvenWerk1 | haswel chip set. | 05:15 |
| zequence | Yeah | 05:15 |
| zequence | i think if you boot in EFI, and make a normal install, it should become a EFI install | 05:16 |
| OvenWerk1 | I don't want my whole disk controlled by it though... so it will have to wait till I have a second disk... | 05:16 |
| OvenWerk1 | Actually I did install kubuntu on my son's machine with efi. | 05:17 |
| OvenWerk1 | Just worked. | 05:17 |
| OvenWerk1 | Anyway, I have to go... the beautiful lady I live with is calling... | 05:18 |
| zequence | Sure, but dual booting might be another story. It won't recognize Win8 | 05:18 |
| zequence | See you | 05:18 |
| * OvenWerk1 has no winanyting in the house | 05:18 | |
| zequence | Well, it's not strictly our field of expertise anyway | 05:20 |
| zequence | OvenWerk1: That's one of the things I will bring up for this next cycle - having two ISOs. One netinstall, one tool/showcase | 05:25 |
| zequence | So, we need to iron out what the netinstall should look like | 05:25 |
| zequence | But, we'll take that discussion when it comes up on the mail list, I think | 05:25 |
