There was a recent thread on the LAD-list I believe. Try to install linux-image(versionnumber)-rt instead of linux-rt to avoid the dependency on restricted modules.

You guys know what I do. Sorry Cory - i didn't mean to sound so critical - your hard work is appreciated! Is a .26-rt kernel completely out of the question? I note that there is a .26 based linux-rt package in the archives, but attempting to install results in: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

As of now, the situation is totally up in the air, and somewhat out of our hands. We're trying to get -rt merged into .27 but things are nuts in Ubuntu land as far as the kernel goes. We don't even know yet what will happen. Best case scenario, we ship a .27-rt kernel in line with main Ubuntu or we ship -generic with a SRU to -rt later after release. That's all I know atm. You guys know what I do. -Cory K. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

Without wanting to go back on the discussions that have already happened, staying on Hardy is not a good option for me - as I've been through over a period of months here, and on the forums, and on launchpad, my firewire host card does not work with the Hardy kernel. The issue is fixed as of .26, so in order to avoid several hundred dollars worth of hardware sitting idle in my studio I need a -rt that works on Intrepid. It's an expensive prospect for me, seeing as the A$500 I spent on my Focusrite is almost as much as I earn in a fortnight. Just my $0.05. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

You can actually get GRUB to work around this bug/feature in Windows. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#DOS_002fWindows Again, I strongly recommend an RTFM in this case. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIzOqswRXgH3rKGfMRAkXcAJ99L9MO4xoTgbTrc/AD2xTZD+0r0gCglouS A5dby5fmMGTlr2klct50vo0= =NqP/ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
