Re: Which ubustu-configuration makes you happy at present?

2009-07-22 Thread Gerhard Lang
Tx to all who made an exciting thread out of my whining, esp. Asmo for
his engagement :)
I'll give 64studio beta3 a try and since i need firewire essentially
i'll try to integrate up-to-date ffado and jack. This weekend i'll free
a partition ...
In the moment for real work I freezed karmic alpha 3 with 2.6.29.6-1-rt
kernel, customized jack 1.9.3 svn, ffado svn. This works stable and
reproducable for my needs: jack-late...@~8ms, hydrogen, rakarrack, wine,
wineasio, reaper with vst-instruments. Vst-host is less performant.
Ardour 2.8...(without vst-support) brings jack earlier to the limits
then wine/reaper!? Til now i had no success compiling ardour beta3. In
Ardour beta3 64bit-version will be no vst support anyway.
Sorry for not giving more input cause I have to do hard work for a
living all the week.
best regards
Gerhard

  They have added own rt-kernel to 64Studio. Use it, not one from Ubuntu's
  repositories if you like to test difference.

 This is correct, use the 64Studio RT kernel.

  One thing that is still missing is ffado, no ffado at all in 64Studio.

 64 Studio 3 is still in beta, and is based on Hardy which also does not
 have FFADO support.  Having said that FFADO will be supported out of the
 box for the final released 3 version.  If you are impatient I believe
 there are some experimental packages for it.  Don't quote me on that,
 since I don't use or care for FFADO.

 FYI: JACK 1.9.3 released

 http://jackaudio.org/node/25

 I try to build that tomorrow for Ubuntu Studio 8.04 and 9.04.

 Best Regards Asmo Koskinen.

Can you please compile it with the -mixed option so that applications like 
EnergyXT (32 bits) will work well with jackd on 64 bits machines ?

Thanks,

/Fabien

Here are my notes (sorry, in finnish) about installing ffado in Ubuntu
8.04, you can do it same way in 64Studio 3.0 Beta 3.

You need change few lines in SConstruct file for ffado. And install new
jackd and ffado in /usr, not in /usr/local.

What you can do is put your name here and then do some testing that 
benefits next version/everyone.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/KarmicTaskList

Next big thing is Karmic Alpha 3.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule


In the meanwhile...

Ubuntu Studio 8.04.1 (Hardy)

This is our recommended release for production critical machines.

Re: Which ubustu-configuration makes you happy at present?

2009-07-18 Thread Izaak Branderhorst
i have a similar setup, but with a TI expresscard firewire interface.  i had
heard that TI worked better than my Thinkpad T61's Ricoh chipset, so i
ordered one specifically.  i also have an FA-101.

as i mentioned in the previous post on this list, i've been able to tune
64-bit jaunty to run quite stably with low latency.  i'll outline that
experience in more detail below.  unfortunately i decided to try 32-bit for
various reasons with the same environment jack crashes every few minutes.
the kernel from ubuntu studio dev ppa solves that but introduces an annoying
keyboard bug.

fyi trying jackdmp always resulted in decreased stability for me.

under the following environment i was able to get my FA-101 running with 128
buffers and 3 periods (8.7ms latency), no xruns and no crashes:

  * 64-bit jaunty
  * jaunty -rt kernel
  * jaunty jackd 0.116.1
  * custom-built ffado 2.0 rc2 - didn't actually experiment much with rc1.
if you'd like i can upload my rc2 debs to a ppa.
  * blacklisted wifi drivers
  * disabled CPU scaling (use performance scaling_governor), slighly
underclocked CPU, and fan at max
  * configured rtirq to give only rtc and firewire interrupts real-time
priority, SCHED_OTHER for everything else
  * /etc/udev/rules.d/99-raw1394.rules: KERNEL==raw1394, GROUP=disk
  * tweak /etc/security/limits.conf as described in ubuntu studio
preparation
  * add your user to disk and audio groups
  * run jack with real-time priority 50 (anything  0 is probably fine)
  * also used x-updates PPA for newer intel graphics drivers, not sure this
was consequential at all.
  * disabled apparmour, pulseaudio

my /etc/default/rtirq (this really made a big difference!)

 -ubuntu version, 32 or 64bit, rt-kernel, ffado/jack versions,

 allways very unstable, lots of crashes, freezings, only randomly
 success. Wasn't able to figure out reproducable circumstances, in google
 I found a disorder of contributions from 2002 to 2008, so I lost track
 and disconsolately didn't report bugs.
