foobarryits using the same job scheduler and submission scripts10:35
ali1234couldnt you achieve the same thing with some virtual machines?10:37

Need more tests, how the microphone works not only with Raltek sound chip. U-mate 17.04 64. Maybe i should open a bug report on the Ubuntu website about it?
