PPA vs. Ubuntu backports vs. getdeb.net vs. ???
ahoy all, like many, i am still running Ubuntu Studio (UBS) 8.04 Hardy waiting for Jaunty and the real time kernel. thanks to everyone for the work/effort to make this distro work. i have been running into some bugs recently that have been fixed in newer versions of the software (e.g. Rosegarden), but i am unsure what is the recommended/safest way to install more recent versions of software. my main concern is making the upgrade to Jaunty smooth as possible when it arrives. i am a bit overwhelmed by the choices, and being new to Ubuntu/Debian packages/etc, looking for some guidance. for installing more recent packages in an older release like Hardy 8.04, one seems to have at least 4 options: + use a PPA, such as the one provided by Khashayar at https://launchpad.net/~khashayar/+archive + enable backports from the Ubuntu, e.g. deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse + simply install deb files from getdeb.net + download/compile each project from source to get latest/greatest in general, i assume backports would be a good thing. unfortunately, they do not contain many UBS-related packages. also, by default it is disabled in apt/sources.list. is this for a reason? after that, PPA makes the most sense, as new updates will be received "automagically". however, i am afraid that may hose the inevitable upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid to Jaunty. any comments/advice/rants/etc greatly appreciated. thanks. -- 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

jack and sound restarting
Hi everyone, I think I already brought this up before (thanks for your patience), but found no real solution to the problem: whenever jack freezes or stops running unexpectedly, after killing it or restarting it, it WONT work any more. I have been forced to restart the PC every time and as you might guess, it is a real problem! So my question is: how can I completely kill and restart the whole sound system without restarting the matchine? I've tried killing jack through the terminal and the device manager. That doesn't do the trick! My guess is I need something that problably restarts ALSA altogether. Any ideas?? Many thanks!

The trouble is, as far as I know, nobody knows if an upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 will work, at least I don't think it's officially supported (anybody else, please enlighten me on this point). If you happen to have a separate home partition, the easiest way to go about, in my opinion, is to do a clean install of 9.04 and use your old home partition. If all else fails, you can always do a complete backup of your home, do a clean install, and then restore your home partition.
