Re: [LAU] X Runs at Exactly 10 Minute Intervals

by Martin Lynch

As I write this, Qjackctl shows 14:35 since the last X Run!!! I don't have this completely narrowed down as to the offending program(s), however what I did was open the System Monitor and began stopping programs I thought were either likely offenders or simply unnecessary. One thing I didn't realize was that Evolution (linux mail client), despite not being my default mail client and not being active still had 4 programs running - remains to be seen if that's the culprit. Here's what I currently have stopped: ntpd evolution-alarm-notifier evolution-data-server-1.10 evolution-exchange-storage evolution freshclam update-notifier gnome-screensaver getty (there were 6 instances of this running, all showing the identical amount of memory being used - I left one on and stopped the other 5 - no idea what this is - will research it further - but doubt this has anything to do with the X run issue, since one is still running) FYI: I'm now at over 22 mins without an X run, still at my 2ms latency setting and I happen to be watching an HD movie at the same time! (and no, it didn't take me 8 mins to write this - had to have a pillsbury turnover break for fortitude ; - ) I'd really like to thank everyone that helped me with this issue - one of the best things about switching to linux has been the community - thanks guys!!!

HDSP doesn't remember sample rate setting after cold reboot

by tim

Hello list, When I set the sample rate for the hdsp multiface using hdspconf to 96000Hz everything is fine. When I reboot the computer everything is still fine. When however I turn of the computer and unplug the power to the multiface and the computer, plug it back in and boot up, then the sample rate changes randomly, sometimes it starts up in 48kHz, sometimes 32kHz, sometimes 88..., but never 96000Hz. I can't find any information about how to force the sample rate to 96000. I tried "sudo alsactl store 0" but that doesn't work either. Any help much appreciated. Tim

It installs fine for me under current wine from git (roughly wine-0.9.46), so you shouldn't have to futz around with unpacking it some other way. Still doesn't play on Wine, though, even though I have timidity installed and working.

getting jack 0.107 working with cclients compiled against earlier versions

by Robert Persson

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have just built jack 0.107 from svn. I had to install it over the jack installed from the ubuntu repository, which made me a bit uncomfortable, but it got Ingen working, and it should get the latest ardour from svn working with its midi editor, so I could live with that. It broke qjackctl, but that gave me the opportunity to build a newer version with jack midi support, so I could live with that too. However it seems to have broken a whole lot of other jack apps, such as hydrogen and alsaplayer, and I definitely can't live with that. Is there a way to get 0.107 working with clients compiled against older versions of jack? Failing that, would I be able to get all these apps to work again against the new version of jack if I simply build my own packages from source debs, or would I run into further trouble?

[ANN] Snd-ls V0.9.8.2

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Snd-ls v0.9.8.2 =============== Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND. Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up. Snd-ls also serves as base code for the San-Dysth softsynth (http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/sandysth/) and the Snd-rt music programming language (http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/snd-rt) Changes 0.9.7.12 -> 0.9.8.2 --------------------------- -The rt_readin_tag startup bug is finally fixed. Thanks to Josh Lawrence, Luke Hammon, Martin Rumori and Renick Bell for helping me finding it. -Improved the build system a bit. -Guile >=1.8.0 is now required to build and run Snd-ls. -Fixed bug that caused snd to fail starting if no previously used soundfile was opened during startup. -Updated Snd from 8.4/12.9.2006 to 9.3/30.7.2007. Many important fixes. Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/

phasex dies after x amount of time

by Dave Phillips

Greetings, Yesterday I was playing around with the excellent Phasex synth. I wrote some long looping tracks for "infinite" playback a la Eno's Music For Airports, everything played nicely for about 40 minutes, then Phasex just disappeared. I hadn't launched it from the prompt so I have no relevant error messages, but I wonder if anyone else has had trouble running the synth for long periods of time. Great-sounding synth, btw. Best, dp

X Runs at Exactly 10 Minute Intervals

by Martin Lynch

Hoping someone can help me figure out what's causing X runs at precisely 10 minute intervals - not 9:59, not 10:01 but exactly 10 mins. My setup: AMD 64 X2 2 GB DDR2 800 mhz M-Audio Firewire Solo using Freebob Sample rate: 96,000 Periods: 3 Frames: 64 Latency: 2 ms Realtime checked in Qjackctl Priority = 89 Qjackctl 0.2.21 # ps -C jackd -cmL shows: PID LWP CLS PRI TTY TIME CMD 24142 - - - ? 00:14:40 jackd - 24142 TS 20 - 00:00:00 - - 24143 TS 24 - 00:00:00 - - 24144 TS 24 - 00:00:00 - - 24145 TS 24 - 00:00:00 - - 24146 FF 139 - 00:00:00 - - 24147 FF 129 - 00:05:51 - - 24148 FF 132 - 00:00:00 - - 24149 FF 132 - 00:00:00 - - 29990 FF 139 - 00:00:00 - - 29991 FF 133 - 00:00:25 - As I understand it, the FF indicates realtime. Messages from JACK: Load = 6.0202 max usecs: 44.000, spare = 622.000 LibFreeBoB ERR: SLAVE XMT : Buffer underrun! 64 (0 / 256) (0 / 0 ) 17:34:51.873 XRUN callback (2).

FreeBoB MSG: xrun detected load = 4.4270 max usecs: 26.000, spare = 640.000 Note that in the first instance it's an underrun; 2nd instance an overrun, which seems odd to me (ie I'd think with the X runs happening on such a precise schedule it would show the same problem each time). I've tried using System Manager to track down any processes which might be scheduled to run every 10 mins and can't pin down anything. I also tried stopping ntpd but the problem continued. Other programs which run simultaneously: - Beryl - Mythtv backend Using Ardour neither increases the X runs nor eliminates them - they still pop up at 10 min intervals. Any ideas or suggestions? Could Freebob be the problem? Are there system processes known to run at 10 min intervals that could be interfering? Also, not sure this has anything whatsoever to do with my X runs, but Qjackctl also reports a whole series of: QTextCursor::gotoParagraph Index: 49 out of range load = 4.1724 max usecs: 26.000, spare = 640.000 load = 4.0381 max usecs: 26.000, spare = 640.000 load = 3.9710 max usecs: 26.000, spare = 640.000 QTextCursor::gotoParagraph Index: 49 out of range QTextCursor::gotoParagraph Index: 49 out of range I also tried running JACK from console, with the same results. Driving me nuts as every time I need to do a take, I have to wait until an X run hits, then I have a 10 min window to record, which leaves me thinking about the impending X run, rather than the part I'm playing! Many thanks!
