[06:04] <Croran> I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and I can't seem to get jackd working. I had it going great on 16.04 before the upgrade.
[06:05] <Croran> Everything seems fine for the first 5 seconds after I run jack_control start
[06:05] <Croran> normal messages in the log
[06:06] <Croran> then it gives 5 consecutive error lines starting with, "ERROR: JackPosixProcessSync::LockedTimedWait error usec = 5000000 err = Connection timed out"
[06:06] <Croran> I would appreciate any advice

[06:10] <Croran> I just tweaked the period size and number of periods and it seems to be running now. Weird that it worked fine on 16.04 with a lower number of periods and smaller period size.
[06:46] <Croran> I found this 'quickscan' script and I'm attempting to tune the OS to allow me to go back to the period size and number that was stable in 16.04.

[12:42] <Paavi2_0> Croran: are you using lowlatency-kernel? have you set rtprio for your user or audio group in /etc/security/limits.conf?
[14:05] <OvenWerks> Croran: which ubuntu is that?
[18:03] <Eickmeyer[m]> Paavi2_0: Setting rtprio is done automatically when installing Ubuntu Studio or when installing ubuntustudio-performance-tweaks.
[22:43] <Bear_> Hi folks, sorry to disturb you.  I have a HP Pavilion g7-1150.  It has a AMD E-450 APU 8G ram.  I'm wanting to use it for local web development and mainly photography.  How well will ubuntu studio work compared to say linux mint, or peppermint?
[22:44] <Bear_> I've heard a lot of complaints about ubuntu recently.
[22:44] <Bear_> I heard of a distro recently that runs alot of adobe packages using the windows installers, but I can't remember the distro nor if its worth trying.
[22:51] <Eickmeyer> Bear_: Your question is largely based on subjective experiences. In terms of photography, that is one of the use types we target.
[22:52] <Eickmeyer> That said, per your specs, it should run just fine.
[22:53] <Eickmeyer> As for your Adobe question, I couldn't tell you.
