[09:55] <Batoeh> Hello everyone. I hope you are having a great day. I know I have seen that running virtual machines on ubuntu studio or maybe kxstudio is not officially supported which I totally dig but the thing is I am using the patched kernel that you guys made so awesomely easy to install and I wasn't sure if there was any gotchas I had to worry about other than getting the headers. Gotchas like it flat out
[09:55] <Batoeh> fails to work. VMs would be strictly low resource and used mostly while not using any multimedia creation software.
[12:06] <Batoeh> Also from what I understand DAWs don't really benefit much from being installed on very fast read/write speed SSDs vs a relatively slow msata ssd. My thought process is I install an msata for the OS as I personally do not benefit too much personally with a faster SSD for my OS because how lightweight my setup is and that I would use faster SSDs or my NAS for bulk storage instead(including DAW
[12:06] <Batoeh> recordings). Is my thought process flawed?
[12:06] <Batoeh> Sorry that maybe a too general question
[13:49] <Tom31> Hello together!
[13:49] <Tom31> Can someone tell me if ubuntu studio has a firewall intigrated?
[14:03] <Batoeh> Tom31: I want to say most linux distros including studio have iptables
[14:04] <Batoeh> there are user interfaces like ufw and gufw but unsure if those are installed.
[14:07] <Tom31> Thanks already!
[14:07] <Tom31> First google iptables...'=D
[14:26] <Tom31> extremely much to read about this topic.
[14:26] <Tom31> I think I can not do anything with it in a hurry.
[15:08] <Batoeh> and for the most part they are setup by default to simply block anything trying to get to you but letting you connect to everything.
[15:09] <Batoeh> you should be good Tom31 :) if it comes you check out the man page and some youtube videos. it is actually fairly easy and really useful once you get hang of it
[15:16] <Tom31> Let's see if I'll know my way around at some point, when I'm sufficiently occupied with it.
[15:16] <Tom31> Must now unfortunately dedicate myself to other things again.
[15:16] <Tom31> take care!
[15:16] <Tom31> goodbye!
[16:26] <OvenWerk1> Batoeh: many people use VMs for testing ISOs with no difficulty.
[16:29] <OvenWerk1> Batoeh: the place where VMs fall down is trying to get really low latency (less than 10ms)
[16:29] <OvenWerk1> or running cpu heavy plugins
[16:31] <OvenWerk1> Batoeh: Ardour has been run with as many as 1000 recording tracks on a spinning disk. likely any ssd that can at least keep up with a spinning disk should be fine.
[16:35] <OvenWerk1> Batoeh: the reality is that for many projects much of the audio is already sitting in buffers in RAM, so a good amount of RAM is helpful. Transfer from disk to RAM and back are not real time actions... Or to put it another way, the scheduling is a lot looser than for even medium latency audio.
[16:37] <OvenWerk1> Batoeh: the ubuntu low latency kernel is very close to the generic kernel with some default values changed. I think it is even possible to use the generic kernel with just commandline switches to achieve the same thing.
[16:39] <Batoeh> Awesome OvenWerk1! thank you. That works for me. I wouldn't be using any audio applications while using the VM software anyways. Appreciate your help :)
[18:48] <jazzk4t[m]> Hi all
[18:49] <jazzk4t[m]> any one here can help me with some audio midi problems on ubuntu studio 20.10? I am totally new with this OS.
