[00:26] <Aloiece> Hei folks, does anynody have recent experience with an RT-kernel on ubustu?
[00:36] <oerheks> standard would be the lowlatency kernel, so no?
[00:41] <Eickmeyer> Aloiece: Doing anything with Ubuntu (Studio) outside of what is in the repositories is completely unsupported.
[00:45] <Eickmeyer> !rt
[00:45] <ubottu> the RT kernel is the Linux kernel with a realtime preemption patch applied. It is not available in Ubuntu. See also !lowlatency
[00:46] <Eickmeyer> !lowlatency | Aloiece
[00:46] <ubottu> Aloiece: The lowlatency kernel is a special Ubuntu kernel build with modifications for systems which require low latency when communicating with some hardware, such as some Audio devices. Included with Ubuntu Studio by default.
[01:07] <Aloiece> ubottu: yes, in the past it lacked the ability to interfere with ibte
[01:07] <ubottu> Aloiece: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[01:07] <Aloiece> Interupt priorities
[01:23] <Eickmeyer> Aloiece: That's no longer the case. RT kernels are really only for embeded systems anymore, such as mixers utilizing the Linux kernel for their interface.
[01:24] <Eickmeyer> Aloiece: Additionally, RT kernels are bad for security. They can allow an attacker to compromise a machine by taking realtime access to the machine locking-out everything else (GUI, command line, etc.). For this reason alone, you will never see Ubuntu contain an RT kernel.
[01:24] <Eickmeyer> Aloiece: So, like I said, unsupported here and not up for discussion.
[01:25] <Eickmeyer> Aloiece: Also, ubottu is merely a bot that told you what I told it to tell you.
[01:45] <oerheks>  real-time kernel. -rt kernel - is based on the Ubuntu kernel source tree with Ingo Molnar maintained PREEMPT_RT patch applied to it
[01:47] <oerheks> not really a bennefit for ubuntu/music/video/networking, nor vaapi or the kernel patches that cripples hyperthreading
[01:48] <oerheks> so lowlatency is a "realtime" kernel enough
[01:48] <oerheks> have fun!
[03:47] <s\schizoid> Hey everyone, how're you travelling?
[03:57] <s\schizoid> hey circuitbone
[04:03] <circuitbone> Hi s\schizoid
[04:04] <s\schizoid> How're you travelling?
[04:05] <circuitbone> On hols, waiting to board. Gearing up for some Xmas time to learn new stuff ( music , tech )
[04:10] <s\schizoid> How good! I'm looking to install US on a desktop I've got handy over the next couple of days, preparing for pretty much the same thing. I'm interested to see what people are using it for really; if I weren't reliant on VSTs with questionable compatibility I'd get it up and running on this system
[04:16] <circuitbone> Have you also tried lmms yet s\schizoid ? Keen to see it as well
[04:21] <s\schizoid> I haven't, looks pretty handy for writing electronic music-- Ardour's a bit of a pain for that so I'll definitely check it out when I'm up and running
[04:26] <circuitbone> Yeah I need to try ardour again as well
[04:43] <s\schizoid> It's incredibly powerful. I'm using Harrison Mixbus32C as my main DAW, which is a heavily modified version of Ardour... It's a weapon
[07:37] <circuitbone> Nice sounds like a tidy unit
[07:52] <s\schizoid> It is, it's also damn cheap for a proprietary DAW. Ticks all my boxes, the mixer emulation thing clicked with me really quickly.
[08:50] <circuitbone> Better give that a crack as well.

[21:01] <Kelvinohara> Joy and peace to all
[21:02] <Kelvinohara> Above all, don't get frustrated if your middle button on your mouse scrolls really really slowly :)
[22:02] <bliter> Use slider bar ^^
[22:04] <bliter> On terminal irc client use page up and page down buttons :-P
[22:16] <Kelvinohara> Hey bliter, that's exactly what I'm doing, thanks pal hahahaha :)
