Version update from 10.10 to 11.04 - Is it better to re-build the kernel-rt?

2011-05-04 Thread Ralf
After a version upgrade, would it be better to re-build the kernel-rt or is using the kernels I build with Maverick ok? What's about a self-build jackd from svn etc.? Hm? 495 new packages? Order of packages isn't sorted by the alphabet, hence it's hard to check for issues. The proprietary nvidia

Natty and the Real Time Kernel

2011-05-04 Thread Giuliano Braglia
I've been browsing through old threads but i haven't been able to understand... In natty (but also in maeverik, and I guess also in future upgrades) there is no rt kernel available. Would they work even without it? In Lucid I tried to start without rtkernel and I had a lot of Xruns in Jack. --

There are PPA's available with real time kernels available and I would expect even for Natty. I believe Falktx's PPA is one of these and well maintained at that. I don't know what a PPA is :p Would they work even without it? In Lucid I tried to start without rtkernel and I had a lot

At the very least you should recompile the kernel as the version of GCC changes with each release. This can cause issues if you need to compile a module against your kernel or if you use binary driver blobs. No idea about the rest. On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 6:23 AM, Ralf ralf.mard...@alice-dsl.net

[OT] tar command

2011-05-04 Thread Ralf
Does anybody know something about tar? Very interesting, I deleted a broken Maverick-Natty-Upgrade-Install by # rm -r *, then I copied a backup archive and restored Maverick from the backup by tar xzf *, restoring Maverick takes between 3 and 4 minutes only. How is this possible? The restored

tar has been around for as long as *ux. So it's had plenty of time to mature. As with many of the vintage *ux cammand line utilities it can be cryptic and not necessarily intuitive to use. Mac On Thu, 2011-05-05 at 01:44 +0200, Ralf wrote: Does anybody know something about tar? Very
