[LAU] Fw: Latest -rt kernel with working nvidia

by Norval Watson

Might have spoken too soon re 2.6.26-5-rt9 kernel.. Yesterday "seemed to be OK" Today definitely not OK - - midi connection probs - apps crashing and freezing and then resisting all attempts to "kill" and "killall" Maybe due to this issue Esben Stein pointed out on this list recently http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Removing_the_Big_Kernel_Lock UbuntuStudio has released (maybe unofficially) 2.6.26.1 rt kernel http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-kernel-team/152269-ubuntu-studio-rt-2-6… So again I wonder what is the latest rt kernel that works with audio ie. jack, midi etc and can be compiled with nvidia's driver? Otherwise I go back to 2.6.23, grab old pkgs from somewhere and recompile - but I hate going backwards! Cheers Norv Make the switch to the world's best email.

[LAU] USB soundcard for stereo mic 3.5" jack

by Florian Schmidt

Hi, i'm shopping for a soundcard to do rehearsal recordings with my stereo mic (audio technica pro 24).. It has a 3.5" stereo mini plug and has its own battery if power is not supplied by the jack. I guess most USB soundcards would work with the small problem that a line in (which is stereo) has a too small gain (and maybe impedance problems).. So is there a USB device that would work with this mic? Thanks and Regards, Flo -- Palimm Palimm! http://tapas.affenbande.org

[LAU] Compiling Rubber Band (sorta) revisited

by Darren Landrum

This one has me flummoxed, as it's turned out to be essentially un-googlable: In trying to get Rubber Band compiled on my new Kubuntu load, I ran ./configure with the settings to I found from before to ignore the Vamp stuff: ----- ./configure Vamp_CFLAGS=no Vamp_LIBS=no ----- Configure runs fine, everything checks out, then I run make, and get this error: ----- g++ -DHAVE_FFTW3 -DFFTW_DOUBLE_ONLY -DNO_THREAD_CHECKS -g -O2 -fPIC -Wall no -Irubberband -Isrc -c -o src/ConstantAudioCurve.o src/ConstantAudioCurve.cpp g++: no: No such file or directory make: *** [src/ConstantAudioCurve.o] Error 1 ----- Searching for "g++: no: No such file or directory" turns up absolutely nothing that helped. Maybe someone here can nudge me in the right direction? Thanks! Regards, Darren Landrum

[LAU] Customizing Kubuntu for music?

by Darren Landrum

I'd rather run Kubuntu rather then Ubuntu Studio 64 for my system. I was wondering how hard it might be to install Kubuntu 64 then maybe enable the Ubuntu Studio 64 repositories in order to grab their RT kernel and get it working? From there, I would compile the music apps (and some of the libs) that I want myself, so I can stay nice and up to date, a complaint I've brought up in the past. Possible? Would I be biting off more than is worth chewing? * AMD64 X2 6000+ (3.1ghz) * 2GB DDR2-800 RAM * NVidia NForce chipset Thanks! Regards, Darren Landrum

[LAU] Latest -rt kernel with working nvidia

by Norval Watson

I wonder what is the latest -rt kernel that works with the nvidia 3D drivers? I had 2.6.23.11-rt14 working great with Debian's auto-install nvidia until a recent update from sid repository. But now it's broken and I got no 3D :( So if I compile a new -rt kernel to work with nvidia which one should I get? Norval Watson Make the switch to the world's best email.
