[12:32] <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?
[12:33] <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
[12:34] <madsvivi> Oh. I see it now, too. Must be my client acting strange, lmao
[12:35] <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)?
[12:36] <cfhowlett> I had a 4gb system.  performance was adequate
[12:36] <madsvivi> aiight, thank you very much!
[12:37] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[19:17] <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
