[Consortium] Linuxaudio.org and subsites being moved to a new server

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Hi all, Just wanted to let everyone know that the server and accounts are going to be moved in the next 48-72 hours. During this time we'll do a freeze on account access in order to prevent any alterations to the file system in order to ensure accurate syncing of the old and new server data. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The porting of the files will begin tomorrow afternoon (2pm-ish EST) and will continue "until it's done." ;-) (likely no more than 48 hours) The new server will give us better back-up, more bandwidth, and more space. As a result of the move to a dedicated server, we will have to obliterate account passwords, so I will issue new temporary ones to all who are maintaining current sites. We will also streamline user names according to the sub-sites (i.e. lad maintainer will have a login "lad" etc.). This will enable us to easily reassign duties when such an action becomes necessary. I will do my best to seamlessly port the existing MySQL database, but just to be on the safe side I will also generate backups as well as keep the old server unscathed until we know that everything is in working order on the new server. Again, I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you do have any urgent updates to do, please do them before 2pm EST tomorrow (Wednesday, August 30, 2006). Please note that the transition will be seamless and we do not expect any downtime as a result of this (minus the database stuff where we'll have to prevent any further changes in order to ensure accurate data transfer). Many thanks for your patience and understanding!

[Consortium] On vacation

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Greetings all, I will be on vacation and unavailable until July 11. In the meantime, I will do my best to keep up with e-mail, although my Internet access will be rather spotty (I know that I have at least a few e-mail to answer which, time permitting, I'll try to answer asap). Nonetheless, should you happen to have any questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

[Consortium] Macbook Pro + JACKD = incredible latency

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

FWIW, wanted to share some impressive performance I managed to pull off earlier today from my new toy: RECIPE: 1 Macbook Pro 1 Ubuntu Dapper (vanilla 2.6.15-26 kernel) 1 adjustment to rtlimits (total of 2 lines) 1 fglrx driver 1 Xgl with all eye-candy you can get 1 JACK + Qjackctl 1 32 x 3 buffer size Mix it up. Run in realtime. RESULT: xrun-free 2ms latency on a crummy built-in soundcard (2 in, 6 out) plus all the eye-candy goodness you can possibly dream of at approx. 14% CPU. ;-) Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-7047 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/people/faculty/bukvic/

[Consortium] mirror site for ISO?

by richard.bown＠ferventsoftware.com

Hi, We recently made a downloadable demo ISO version of Studio to Go! v1.50 available: http://www.studio-to-go.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=71&It… Would anyone be in the position to offer us a mirror (or point us to a likely source)? It's obviously quite big - around 600MB - so I'm not exactly expecting an avalanche of offers! Some news - Studio to Go! v2.0 is now in development and we'll be announcing features and a beta programme shortly. Rgds, Richard Fervent Software

Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable cd, containing a whole operating system that works straight from boot, without the need to install or change anything on the hard disk. If you like and want to have it on harddisk you can simply copy the /dyne directory on your computer: the simpliest installation ever! Your older system is untouched and comes back booting without CD. Dyne:bolic is user-friendly: recognizes your hardware devices (sound, video, firewire, modem, network and USB) and offers a vast range of software for multimedia production: audio and video manipulation, sound composition and synthesis, 3D modeling, photography, peer2peer filesharing, web browsing, veejaying, desktop publishing, word processing, cd burning, email, encryption, anonymity tools and more. All software is free and there is no market operation behind dyne:bolic, just a communal effort to widen access to modern technology and let people be Free to Create. Dyne:bolic is being developed since more than 5 years and optimized to run also on older machines commonly found in Africa America Asia Europe India and Oceania. It includes code from hundreds of programmers all around the world, with a lively community of artists, teachers and developers who use, distribute and adapt this platform according to their needs and desires. This operating system is a grassroot effort to share independent knowledge, it keeps away from commercial speculations and capitalist corporations, because CREATIONS WANT TO BE FREE. :: EXCLUSIVE RELEASE ON METAMUTE :: http://www.metamute.org/?q=en/Dyne:bolic-2-download-new-exclusive-release :: FOR ACTIVISM IN CRISIS AREAS http://streamtime.org We imagine improvised expressive devices like a CD that turns your PC into an on line streaming studio. Imagine a mob that creates a traffic jam. Think of the religious policeman in London, the konfused kollege kid and the jealous dentist in Baghdad and the jailed blogger blogging on in Cairo. Building autonomous networks in extreme conditions. Streamtime uses old and new media for the production of content and networks in the fields of media, arts, culture and activism in crisis areas, like Iraq. Streamtime offers a diffuse environment for developing do-it-yourself media. We focus on a cultural sense of finding your own way in the quagmire that is Iraq, and its representation in the global media. We should not try to change politics in order to foster cultural change; we should support cultural manifestation in order to force political change. :: THIS IS RASTA SOFTWARE Jah Rastafari Livity bless our Freedom! This is free software, share it for the good of yourself and your people, respect others and let them express, be free and let others be free. Live long and prosper in Peace! But, no Peace without Justice. This software is about Resistence inna Babylon world which tries to control more and more the way we communicate and share information and knowledge. This software is for all those who cannot afford to have the latest expensive hardware to speak out their words of consciousness and good will. This software has a full range of applications for production and not only consumption of information, it's a full multimedia studio, you don't need to buy anything to express yourself. Freedom and sharing of knowledge are solid principles for evolution and that's where this software comes from. Inna babylon, money is the main requirement to make a voice possible to be heard by others. Capitalist and fundamentalist governments all around the world rule with huge TV monopolies spreading their propaganda, silencing all criticism. This is a struggle for Redemption from existing operating systems which always require new expensive hardware for doing the same as ever: give us free players but make us pay for producing our own voices. And the one who protects you rips you off, as the Arabs say. Dyne:bolic is a tool to produce and publish yourself, freely. There is nothing to consume here, there is all you need to create. :: WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE? DHORUBA is a complete rebuild and modular rewrite of the whole system, enhanced for full usability and open for developers to join maintenance. Recent versions of audio and video tools provide a fully featured multimedia studio out of the box, ready for being employed at home, in classrooms and in media centers. === new dyne:II core features: - - it is a multiuser system, user interaction can be secured - - it includes all compiler and development tools needed to build dyne - - you can write modifications in the /usr system and save them - - it has advanced thin client functionality, booting from usb and net - - it's modular, so you can easily add and combine different software - - it's slick and snappy like the preceeding dyne:bolic, even better ;) === updates and fixes in 2.1 - - upgraded to kernel 2.6.17 - - fix to dock and nest on USB storage - - support for LVM and raid volumes - - network file system tools - - new in Audio: Seq24, SooperLooper, Rosegarden, Icecast - - fixes to MuSE (updated to devel version) - - better vga detection - - misc fixes to desktop usability === upgrading from version 1 To upgrade from version 1 to 2 just replace the dyne/ directory with the new one, or run the CD and answer yes when prompted. Before upgrading you have to manually backup the personal contents of your old nest and import them to a new one. Please note that: - - version 2 is not running on XBOX game consoles - - version 2 does not include the OpenMosix clustering system === development history The dyne:II core has been compiled from scratch by Jaromil and Smilzo in 2005. During 2006 Jaromil completed a full rewrite of startup, nesting, docking, configuration and sdk scripts, aided by the experienced testing of Aymeric Antonios and Chun of Goto10. The new foundation of the dyne:II core opens up the development to more people, providing a modular packaging system for software collections and the possibility to customize the liveCD with your favourite applications. So it is born Pure:dyne, as the first dyne:II customization focusing on real time audio/video processing with pure data. Developers Lounge -> http://dev.dynebolic.org === roadmap We salute and support all development done outside the capitalist empire, to produce and distribute low power and affordable computers. We look forward to support chinese dragons and simputers, solid state workstations and all kind of 100$ laptops. In fact, we are there already, the next step in this development will be adoption of a cross-platform build environment to cover all kinds of hardware around. Mantainance of dyne:II core is kept by Jaromil releasing updates for the core part; hackers are welcome to join and take mantainance of modular software collections. :: BIG UP \o/ to DEVELOPERS & FRIENDS First of all salutes and great respects to the many developers who have written software included in dyne:bolic: a long list of names that is impossible to include here, you'll find information about them inside the CD and in the documentation of each software.
