[09:49] <BrianHechinger[m> How would I go about building the kernel for US? Is the config somewhere that I could snag and just build from that? I'd like to play with some kernel stuff.
[13:41] <OvenWerks> BrianHechinger[m: I don't remember where right now, but the config for the current kernel is included in /usr/include/
[13:46] <OvenWerks> BrianHechinger[m: maybe /usr/src/<latest-kernel>
[14:31] <BrianHechinger[m> is it any different than the out of the box lowlatency kernel you get building from the ubuntu patched kernel sources?
[14:33] <OvenWerks> BrianHechinger[m: I am not sure what you mean by that. I have not built a kernel really since modules came out in the late 1990s  :)
[14:34] <BrianHechinger[m> Yeah, me either
[14:35] <BrianHechinger[m> which is why I no longer know wtf I'm talking about. :)
[14:35] <BrianHechinger[m> If I follow the directions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel
[14:35] <BrianHechinger[m> would I end up with a kernel the same as what comes from apt?
[14:36] <OvenWerks> BrianHechinger[m: what are you trying to achieve by building?
[14:36] <BrianHechinger[m> I'm curious why liquorix can run the audiofire lower than 64/3 but the stock lowlatency kernel can't
[14:37] <BrianHechinger[m> so I'd like to poke around
[14:37] <OvenWerks> I really don't know. I think you probably would if it uses the same config
[14:37] <BrianHechinger[m> ok, i'll have a play and see what I get
[14:37] <OvenWerks> Ah so you just want to play with the config
[14:37] <BrianHechinger[m> and maybe see about applying the zen patches to see if those are relevant at all
[14:38] <OvenWerks> you should be able to install liquorix along side and compare configs
[14:38] <BrianHechinger[m> the real big difference between the two kernels as far as I can tell is the zen patches and the scheduler.
[14:39] <OvenWerks> Possibly. The idea with the lowlatency kernel is to remain close enough to the generic so that all the graphics blobs still work and run
[14:39] <BrianHechinger[m> MuQSS doesn't play nice with threadirqs though so I'd like to take that out of the equation and get as close to stock as I can with my changes.
[14:40] <OvenWerks> BrianHechinger[m: I have gotten my audiofire12 to run at 16/2 with the stock lowlatency kernel
[14:40] <BrianHechinger[m> so did I when I was on 20.04 and the other hardware
[14:40] <OvenWerks> (using the ffado modules of course)
[14:41] <BrianHechinger[m> I really need to get a 20.04 install so I can rule that out and see if maybe it isn't the hardware
[14:43] <BrianHechinger[m> But I need another disk to do that, so I should get on that. :-D
[14:45] <OvenWerks> Run from a usb stick?
[14:45] <BrianHechinger[m> You know, that's a pretty good idea that I failed to think of. :-D
[14:46] <BrianHechinger[m> I had trouble booting from a USB stick after messing ubuntu up but that may have been related to the stick itself.
[14:46] <OvenWerks> loads slower but once running, everything is in memory
[14:47] <BrianHechinger[m> and/or I don't think the result of unetbootin is EFI compatible
[14:47] <OvenWerks> I use dd
[14:48] <OvenWerks> dd if=some.iso of=/dev/sd10
[14:48] <OvenWerks> replace 10 with what you want to use
[14:48] <OvenWerks> I think mine is sdd these days
[14:49] <BrianHechinger[m> I was on a mac so I could have done that. Hmmm.
[14:53] <BrianHechinger[m> `Make sure to set your BIOS to boot from USB.`
[14:53] <BrianHechinger[m> well, that would have been it then
[14:54] <OvenWerks> on mine I just hit F8 duing reboot and choose then.
[14:54] <BrianHechinger[m> Yeah, it wasn't showing up
[14:54] <BrianHechinger[m> because my motherboard is set to only boot EFI
[14:56] <BrianHechinger[m> oh, possibly a unetbootin issue
[14:56] <BrianHechinger[m> because it looks like rufus can create efi bootable thumb drives and ubuntu had efi built into the iso since 14.02
