[07:04] <Travesty> anyone know how I can grep a skype username ip address when resolver isn't working?
[14:45] <holstein> Travesty: you will have to get skype support from the creators of skype.. its not open, so you may not be able to "grep" what you need
[15:24] <celesteh> anybody got experience with a nanokontrol (or other midid faders) and ardour?
[15:24] <holstein> celesteh: should be plug and play
[15:29] <celesteh> how do i map the faders and knobs to fader and pan automation? The buttons are working, at least
[15:30] <holstein> celesteh: i would follow the suggestions las gave in #ardour .. you can also try #opensourcemusicians
[15:33] <celesteh> the suggestions work for the buttons only....
[15:36] <holstein> celesteh: i would fire up "sooperlooper".. it has a nice easy learn function.. i would see if i can get the software working with the hardware, and take note of how the automated learn feature supports it, if it does..
[16:20] <ParadoxGuitarist> I have some questions about the kernel you guys are using. I was under the impression that you guys supplied an RT kernel
[16:20] <ParadoxGuitarist> But I guess it's no longer an rt kernel but a low latency?
[16:32] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: correct
[16:32] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: there are many kernels officially provided in the default ubuntu repos
[16:33] <holstein> there is many generic ones of various versions.. and the lowlatency that ubuntustuduio ships
[16:33] <ParadoxGuitarist> What the difference in how it's compiled compared to the rt kernel?
[16:33] <holstein> one can always, and is welcome to add their own custom RT kernel.. or, use one via PPA, such as falktx's kxstudio PPA
[16:33] <holstein> !ppa
[16:33] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: yes
[16:33] <ParadoxGuitarist> realtime scheduling?
[16:34] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: as far as for the end user, i suggest trying the one that ships.. if you need to go one way or the other, you are welcome to
[16:34] <holstein> i suggest looking at what your latency needs are,and find a balance
[16:34] <holstein> the lowlatency is a nice balance between audio performance, and supporting "normal" desktop use
[16:35] <ParadoxGuitarist> Is there any documentation about what how they're actually compiled differently?
[16:35] <holstein> the need for an RT kernel is becoming less and less all the time, since the main generic kernel is becoming more and more able to support lower latency by default
[16:35] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: im sure there is
[16:35] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: i dont develop, nor compile a kernel.. i dont plan to ever compile a kernel
[16:36] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: i grab the provided tools, and test with my hardware
[16:36] <ParadoxGuitarist> What version of the kernel are you on?
[16:36] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: you can have different outcome based on many variables
[16:36] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: i use the lowlatency that ships with ubuntustuduio 14.04
[16:36] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: in 12.04, i had a generic, and an RT from ppa that i would choose between at boot
[16:37] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: in 10.04, that shipped with the RT kernel from 9.10
[16:37] <ParadoxGuitarist> holstein: I ask because I want compile my own but I don't want to reinvent the wheel on what patches or switches I'm using.
[16:37] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: i find, i get *very* similar results with my well supported ffado firewire device with current lowlantecy kernel and older RT kernels
[16:37] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: i dont think there is any need for you to compile your own kernel
[16:38] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: there are *many* PPA's taht provide an RT kernel should you want to try one
[16:39] <ParadoxGuitarist> I'm glad to hear that ffado is working for you. I have some firewire devices but I'm always too worried to try to get things working on top of JACK that I never bothered.
[16:39] <holstein> either they support linux, or they dont.. my device has support
[16:40] <holstein> i am capable of 1.2 ms latency with the latest stock kernel
[16:40] <holstein> i have different latency settings based on my needs.. different jack profiles
[16:40] <ParadoxGuitarist> holstein: the system I need to run the kernel on isn't Debian based, so I can't just try them out. I just want to know why/how you guys compile your kernel.
[16:41] <ParadoxGuitarist> how many xruns do you get with the 1.2ms ?
[16:41] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: i have a zero xrun policy
[16:41] <ParadoxGuitarist> that's awesome
[16:41] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: i get *no* xruns at 1.2ms with 8 tracks tracked overnight at 24/96
[16:41] <holstein> thats my personal test
[16:42] <holstein> ParadoxGuitarist: i would try a general linux channel.. or a kernel mailing list
[16:44] <ParadoxGuitarist> Well I should be able to get a build file or something I just don't know where to look.
[16:45] <ParadoxGuitarist> Actually, I'll just email Alessio.
[16:45] <ParadoxGuitarist> looks like he's the maintainer.
[16:45] <ParadoxGuitarist> thanks holstein
[16:47] <holstein> was the maintainer..
[22:15] <zequence> holstein: Alessio was never the maintainer of -lowlatency while in the Ubuntu repos (except for the first version)
[22:15] <zequence> I took over that, and have been maintaining those ever since
