"God does not play dice" said Einstein, but the assignment of IRQ's at
boot surely seems to be a bit of a random game (which only proves that
Linus isn't God, I suppose ...)
I would like to automagically increase the priority of the IRQ
associated with my soundcard - peek at "the dice" before placing my bet
so to say - how do I do that?
I used to have:
chrt -f -p 80 `pidof IRQ-20`
.. in rc.local, but sometimes the relevant IRQ changes to 19 (giving
IRQ-20 to something else), which may or may not cause a hanging system.
from (todays) /proc/interrupts:
[...]
19: 49 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1,
uhci_hcd:usb2
20: 8416716 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi firewire_ohci, HDA Intel,
uhci_hcd:usb5
While attemting to install alsa1.0.18a on a system based on Linux2.6.24,
I am stuck with:
alsa-kernel/core/hrtimer.c:29: error: implicit declaration of function
‘hrtimer_forward_now’
This function was introduced with kernel 2.6.25 - which also happens to
be the first kernel where RT-patches breaks for midi.
Anybody has got an idea for a workaround?
Hi :)
I'm double-sorry if a mail some minutes before came through the list,
but while I take a look at my account on the homepage of my provider,
there seems to be something wrong. I take a breather and will read any
mails within the next days, but not today, I also can't reply to the old
thread from were I'm writing now.
I just want to inform, that I repaired Suse 11.0 for JACK, but that
there still is a problem for other people.
If someone will do a YaST2 update for all packages, if a newer version
is available, than only libjack will be upgraded, but not jack and then
their JACKs will be broken, so if people do an update and they have 1.
JACK installed and 2. the Packman repository enabled, at the moment they
need to take care about libjack, they need to manually keep libjack, or
they should disable the Packman repository. Status quo of this was at
around 19:50, then there was no 0.116 jack or jack2 available, but a
libjack 0.116.
Cheers,
Ralf
I'm not banned for some mailing list and some of the recipients are very
kind, but their lists are joined by people who maybe should pay
attention to this.
If you want people to report bugs, than
- don't laugh about them and say that they are the only one with that
problem and they should search the web before they do stupid bug
reports. Be careful, sometimes the user might have more knowledge and
you only think you're right.
- you say they are right, but the bug isn't caused by your software,
package-build, wiki, they should search the web and find out them self
where they have to report bugs. Users might be stupid, but they won't
report a bug for their office suit to ALSA and reporting a bug that has
to do with an audio application, might be reported to ALSA, JACK, the
kernel community, because they all have to do with such a bug
- allow people to report without getting subscribed
I'm suggesting this because I misbehaved, when I asked because of a bug.
Now I'm banned for a forum and a mailing list, but they grant me, that I
have pointed out something that was unknown.
But I wasn't the one who pointed out this bug, the web was full of posts
from other people, before I even noticed this bug. When they try to
report something and been laughed at etc., they don't go on like I did,
they won't be idiots like I'm. They won't be banned.
A lot of people change over to windows, a lot of people report bugs and
nobody cares about, a lot of people won't spend hours in reporting
something, by reading rules how to do this, e.g. I was exhorted to write
the German word "das" correctly, because there are rules, that this word
sometimes must be written "dass" instead of "das".
I often reported bugs to people who than said, they are making music too
and that bug didn't exist, a year later it's noticed in a developer list
and they have long threads about it and they wonder why nobody reported
this before.
People don't try to asked, because they have fear to asked in a wrong
kind, the wrong questions. If you report a bug you often hear use this
distro instead of this distro, if you don't like it, or use Windows
instead of Linux, if you don't like it. But you do like a special
distro, application etc. ...
Things went terrible wrong in the community and it's not a borderline
and dyslexic personality like me ... "normal" people have fear to use
Linux, to ask the community.
If anybody is interested in what I noticed about Linux audio and MIDI,
which bugs I have myself etc., I will go on, because I will stay at
Linux for nearly everything, but I guess I have to find something else
for multimedia. Hints for alternatives to Linux are welcome.
Don't worry, I won't write anything again if I'm unwanted.
Good luck for multimedia Linux!
Hi Gustin :)
it's easy to get named a troll. What should a user do, that has troubles
with JACK?
I like the 64 Studio community, unfortunately the version for the 64
Studio 2.1 stable version is 0.103.
It's silly if a user reports a bug about that version, while the JACK
developers needs statements about 0.116.
There are distros like Suse, that supports 0.116 by community packages,
e.g. for Suse it's the Packman repository.
I had contact to the packager by the Linux Club.
People reported that bug e.g. to the Ardour forums, a long time before I
had this bug. There they say, it's a JACK bug, but this isn't true, it
was a packman bug. http://ardour.org/node/2271
I don't want to talk again about this, because I'm personal involved in
this, maybe someone of those who replied off-list can give other
examples, I won't quote private mails.
Testing of RCs often is unwanted. I tried to make a howto and needed
help and that was unwanted. And people don't report bugs to the right
places, 1. because they don't know the right places and 2. because they
know, that they will get bashed.
When I reported the JACK package bug for Packman I get sarcasms. I was
a troll, who made everything wrong, because I have no knowledge. Nobody
but me should have this bug too, written by the packer, who asserted
that he makes music with the packages from Packman. This must be a lie,
because this package is broken for everyone.
1. If you like to help and write a howto, but you need some help because
you e.g. don't know that compilers differ for several Linux, you need to
add headers for some applications, than you do something that is unwanted.
2. If you report that something don't work, you need help, than you are
a troll, because it's not true.
I'm not the only one. Why can you find bugs in the web, that are not
reported to the right people?
I got mails off-list, with statements similar to "I recently got raked
over the coals by ...".
Which distribution can I use, that is wanted by the developers? How do I
have to report bugs? When I say "Hello, there's a bug" I don't want the
answer, that I'm a noob, nobody has this bug, while the whole community
has got the same bug.
I'm not the "Girl, interrupted" when I reported a bug and I'm not a
individual case. I get crazed, when people are unconvincable, they don't
need to excuse, while people like me get banned.
The only thing users can do, is to report bugs anonymous, in forums
somewhere in the web, instead of talking to the right people.
Misspelling for a user who reports something should be allowed.
Posting a bug that was posted before, should be allowed.
Posting a bug of a front or back end to the back or front end people
should be allowed.
To be stupid should be allowed.
But it isn't.
Cheers,
Ralf
PS: I have a bad conscience because I wrote this troll like stuff. I
also get off-list mails that this will break the work. But I guess it's
a topic, if Linux is also for Users. I never developed anything for
Linux, but I was a developer too. I don't understand the problem with
bug reports. At the moment it looks like I'm not banned in much mailing
lists, as it was written.
Hi :)
I added what I did below chronologically arranged. The first try failed
because of Packman libs. The second try failed because of less Packman
libs too.
I don't know what to install and then how to use ldconfig. When I last
tried to remove the whole studio in the box, by removing or first
install and then removing jack by zypper it failed.
I installed jack by YaST2 from repo-oss.
I don't know what to do. I can't install or remove jack, all because I
upgraded from the repo-oss version 0.109 to the Packman's version 0.116.
Cheers,
Ralf

Hi :)
I'm searching the following headers by http://www.rpmseek.com/index.html:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cerrno>
Does anybody know where I can find them for Suse 11.1 RC? RPM Seek now
is searching for more than 200 seconds ;).
I wish to have a howto on German, to make a audio workstation for Suse
11.1, that's why I started a thread for the release candidate on
English, but I failed with doing this.
I can't build a kernel for Suse, I once patched without trouble for 64
Studio 2.1.
Any help at
http://forums.opensuse.org/pre-release-beta/401422-enable-realtime-audio-mi…
is welcome.
Cheers,
Ralf
Sorry to the lists, please ignore this mail, it's a test if my mails
come through the list.
@ Oc2pus:
That's strange. I'm member at jack-dev list. I haven't written to
Packman, because of the troubles we had at Linux-Club.
Maybe mirroring failed for the server I have jackd from. I can't change
to Suse right now. If you can write me were the script is, with the
information for the YaST2 and zypper servers, I can take a look from my
Lenny and than we should first diff if the package is equal to that of
another server.
The only other thing I can imagine is, that VideoLAN might cause a
conflict, even if YaST2 says that the dependencies aren't inconsistent.

Simple reason: because I won't subscribe to all available mailing-lists for
every package I maintain ...
and the jack-devel list answers me for every post:
Your mail to 'Jack-Devel' with the subject

The reason it is being held:
