It works very well. I am also still using Lucid, and don't have any plans to use Maverick, at least not on any machines that I need to do serious work on. Here are the basic steps I take to get the Firepod working, many or all of which you've probably seen in other guides: 1) Make sure you are in the Audio group 2) Use Ubuntu Studio Controls to set the Firewire privelages. *WARNING* Do not use Ubuntu Studio Controls to set anything else! 3) Download the -rt kernel from the archive, or the -realtime kernel from Abogani's PPA (which is a more up-to-date kernel, but you won't be able to use any closed video drivers with it) 4) Make sure your JACK settings are correct. In particular, make sure the 'Realtime' option is set. That should get the thing started. Here are a few troubleshooting tips if you are getting a lot of x-runs: -Make sure you have not adjusted any setting in /etc/security/limits.conf. That is the wrong file, and will cause issues if you do adjustments there (this is the file that Ubuntu Studio Controls incorrectly edits). The correct file is /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf. -Try turning off Network Manager (which will need to be installed in Lucid if you wish to get a wireless connection). Just right-click on the app and uncheck 'enable networking'. Hope some of these things help. -- -Brian David
