[Bug 2056697] Re: Ubuntu Studio should prefer realtime kernel
OK, fine, all valid points. I'm not so sure about the "placebo effect", though. I played the same piece a dozen times on my MIDI keyboard in various configurations, with the following results: realtime alsa: xruns 0, 0, 0 realtime jack: xruns 11, 0, 0 lowlatency jack: xruns 25, 5, 5, 6, 8 Admittedly, it was a small test, but I made some effort to actually test it and concluded that I was getting better performance from the realtime kernel. I think some more investigation is required. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056697 Title: Ubuntu Studio should prefer realtime kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/2056697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 2056697] Re: Ubuntu Studio should prefer realtime kernel
Ubuntu Studio lead here. We do not support the realtime kernel for a number of reasons, the biggest of which is that it requires an Ubuntu Pro subscription, which is ambiguous if it even applies to Ubuntu Studio. Therefore, I'm marking this as "Won't Fix" simply because it's outside the scope of the project. Furthermore, the realtime kernel for Ubuntu is meant for embedded applications, not for desktop use which is your use case. Therefore, you're using it in an unsupported fashion anyhow. A realtime kernel is not the silver bullet you think it is, and what you're experiencing is likely a placebo effect. Additionally, the realtime kernel is not available outside of LTS releases (Ubuntu Pro only applies to LTS). Ubuntu Studio makes non-LTS releases. ** Changed in: os-prober (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056697 Title: Ubuntu Studio should prefer realtime kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/2056697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 2056697] Re: Ubuntu Studio should prefer realtime kernel
I'm not suggesting that Ubuntu Studio should ship with the realtime kernel as of yet. I'm suggesting that after "pro enable realtime-kernel", it should be at the top of the boot priority. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056697 Title: Ubuntu Studio should prefer realtime kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/2056697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
