| madsvivi | Hey, I'm looking to install Ubuntu Studio 16.10 on a laptop that I intend to use exclusively for music production. The System Requirements section here: (https://ubuntustudio.org/download/) says that I should probably have "at least 4GB [of RAM], as some applications us up a lot of [it]." The laptop in question has 3.8GiB of RAM. (The conventions around notating different sizes of "gigabytes" go over my head, so sorry if | 12:32 |
|---|---|---|
| madsvivi | the way the unit's written doesn't actually matter.) If I use it for audio alone, and am careful not to have too many processes running at once, will I be alright with just the 3.8GiB? Or should I be looking for some extra RAM? | 12:32 |
| madsvivi | The first part of that got trimmed I guess? | 12:32 |
| cfhowlett | madsvivi, max ram is always a safe bet | 12:33 |
| madsvivi | "I'm looking to install US 16.10 on an old laptop that I will use exclusively for music production." | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | you *can* run production with 4gb | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | we say | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | we saw | 12:33 |
| madsvivi | Oh. I see it now, too. Must be my client acting strange, lmao | 12:34 |
| madsvivi | So basically, I'd have an easier time if I bought some extra RAM, but if I went ahead as is it's (my funeral/probably fine)? | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | I had a 4gb system. performance was adequate | 12:36 |
| madsvivi | aiight, thank you very much! | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! | 12:37 |
| drmacro | I have three different PCs running UBS 16.04. jack (via qjackctl) runs fine on 2 of the three. The 3rd is a laptop and (though it did work at one point) now when I select the onboard sound and hit the start button in qjackctl the message window dumps a lot if info and then qjackctl hangs. The only way to get it out of this state is to use kill -9. (If I then restart it, it shows the connections, but, any sound is in slow-mo.) To try again have to kill -9 | 19:17 |
