[00:32] Eickmeyer: I'm shocked at that news! brand new ssd, says 6gb/sec! will try to find out if they have faster ones and if I can exchange it. [00:55] sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda: [00:56] Timing cached reads::: 13510 mb in 1.99 seconds = 6775.62 MB/sec [00:57] Timing buffered disk reads :1528 MB in 3.00 seconds = 508.83 MB/sec [01:04] waaaa! I just wanna learn to record music on Linux!!! [03:39] eclectic_bill: The bottleneck is likely not the SSD itself, but your motherboard. It likely just can't handle the I/O. [07:33] Exactly [10:52] I got a free laptop from work and got it all set up and thought I can finally record music after decades of computer & music being separate--probably can't afford a more powerful laptop...maybe I just see if other programs than ardour can work for me. [10:56] audaciy could probably handle a lot of my initial goals, and there must be other programs that could do the job..qtractor? [10:59] thato would not quite make those hardware demands. weird, because the amount of data I was dealing with at failure was tiny, and I'd already made a successful small 4-track recording in the morning, and the comp seems plenty powerful for everything else. Thanks for the insight! [11:01] actually, there was no real amount of data at the point of failure. It recorded in the morning, and refused to record in the afternoon. [13:58] Hello all! Can anyone help with patching, building and packaging a kernel on Ubuntu? I've got an audio interface that misbehaves and a driver was developed on linuxmusicians which I managed to get working on Manjaro following their build toolchain. But what I'd really like to do is run Ubuntu Studio, patch a 5.8.6 kernel with my driver and build [13:58] using the proper toolchain with the proper Ubuntu Studio pataches. [13:58] Can anyone point me in the right direction? [13:59] And 5.8.x AFAIK is required due to the added support for USB implicit feedback [14:13] eclectic_bill: That does sound odd. Could it be something else was happening (SW update) in the background? [14:13] eclectic_bill: I find doing a swapoff then swapon then record sometimes helps [14:15] I have an older laptop using ubuntustudio 18.04 (it is 32bit so 20.04 won't work) and have done recording on it with no problems. I think it only has 2gb of ram [14:15] more than 10 years old. [14:16] * OvenWerks is miffed that there is no longer 32 bit support and is looking at installing debian on that device at least. [14:21] jaymz168: have you looked at the 20.10 kernel? It is 5.8. I do not know if it already includes the module you need or if you would have to add it still. [14:21] but that would be the best starting point. [14:23] jaymz168: also, while not really supported, there are a few other kernals around too that can offer goof performance and at least in my testing, have worked fine with studio. [14:38] jaymz168: anyway, It has been some time since I have built kernels. I would guess start with the kernal source package and go from there. [14:40] OvenWerks: It won't have the patch, it's not upstream and I'm not sure they're trying to push it yet. It was developed for a specific interface but it turns it out it works for an entire family of related hardware so I think more testing is in order. [14:40] OvenWerks: Thanks for lead on 20.10, I'll have a look and see if it's easier to just run unstable and patch that. [14:41] jaymz168: n0o it wouldn't have the patch but if you start from the source package it should be able to be patched and built. [14:41] OvenWerks: Thanks! [14:41] jaymz168: also I have found that most often it does not matter which kernel one uses [14:42] That is using a 20.10 kernel with 20.04 will likely work with no problems [14:43] OvenWerks: That's what I was thinking too. [14:44] I am sure we will get told that any such setup is "Not Supported" [14:46] on the other hand, 20.10 is in reasonable good shape.
