For Maverick you can try Alessio's.

Thanks Brian.  

Actually I took the time to look it up myself (cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg)
and found that I have both the -rt kernel and the -preempt kernel
installed.  However, the last time I did any editing in GRUB was before
GRUB 2.x  In GRUB 2.x you have to edit /etc/default/grub NOT the
grub.cfg file.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 

So I found now GRUB looks for a SHIFT key held down during the delay
period (default = 10 secs. )  so now I will checkout using each of the
kernels to see if I can get rid of the few xruns I have. Which is only
about 20 / hour on the generic kernel but I am running 256 frames/period
and 3 periods/buffer. 

Cheers,
Tim

Apologies.  I meant the -preempt kernel.  Not the RT kernel.

Re: Amateurs ???

2010-09-26 Thread Brian David
The Ubuntu Studio meta-packages won't install the rt kernel by default
anymore.  You will need to specifically install the linux-rt package, after
which GRUB will automatically allow you to choose from the kernels.

I'd also recommend looking at this page concerning the various kernels
available for Ubuntu Studio:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel

I'm not sure how it is in Maverick, but in Lucid, the rt kernel is patched
from an older generic kernel, and so it was more or less officially
recommended to use other kernels.  Personally, I've found that the RT kernel
is the only one that gives me the performance I want.

Thanks Mike.  I'll check it out. I'm 'twcook' on freenode.

A question about -rt kernels. 

I went through the Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu Studio (US) upgrade? via the
Synaptic meta package :-)  I now have a US splash screen and I got all
of the apps.

qjackctl flashes the RT about once per second or so.  

But uname -a reports:
Linux mlhim-dell-laptop 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17
20:05:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Do I need to edit GRUB (is GRUB the Ubuntu bootmanager?) in order to
have the RT Kernel boot by default?  Did anyone else experience this?

Thanks,
Tim
