I thought I had kept the email, but can't find it now. I Googled, and
tried one method that claimed to work with Debian, but it only produced
a flash drive with an unknown partition table ...
What I'd LIKE to do is be able to boot 64Studio from the flash drive,
install that, then rework the flash drive to similarly install ArtistX.
The CD drive in the target laptop is going bad, and partway through the
install process starts having problems reading from the DVD/CD. My last
attempt left me with a semi-functional 64Studio installation, but I'd
rather do it right ...
Or can you just dd an iso image to a hard drive????
This is all so complex!

Greetings,
In fact, we've had some terrible weather. Yesterday morning we had the
heaviest thunderstorm of the year so far, complete with great dark
rumbling skies and pyrotechnical displays of lightning. Lots and lots of
lightning.
Can you tell where this message is going ?
I like to think I'm not utterly deranged, so as a matter of course I
disconnect the power lines to my gear whenever we have a heavy storm.
And so I did this time, except I didn't unplug the cable modem
connection. Well, live and learn, and so I have, to the combined
expense of one modem, one router, and one laptop. (Sounds kinda like a
John Lee Hooker song). I'm actually happy the damage didn't include the
two desktop boxes also connected to the router.
I'll remember that cable connection next time, I promise.
Grumble...

wondering if someone can illuminate me as to the state of audio via the
expresscard standard?
I Googled and found the Indigo card:
http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/ExpressCard/index.php
has anyone gotten this card working on Linux? issues? problems?
and does anyone know if there are new (re: cheaper) audio expresscards
on the horizon and if this is standard is being adopted by audio
hardware manufacturers?
I know Apple waffled on including it on MBP's...
thanks in advance
Hello All,
I am absolutely new to voice communication via IP but have a requirement to setup a teacher-to-student voice communication
capability in a thin client system. I am currently using K12LTSP 5EL (Centos5) in a development testbed that will eventually be put
into production in a learning lab. I use fl_teachertool to maintain visual contact with the desktop of each connected terminal
client (TC). fl_teachertool also allows me to take control (mouse and keyboard and desktop) of any terminal client if I need to
demonstrate a task or application to a student. What I would like to be able to do is allow the teacher to communicate with any
individual student via headphone and microphone.
Also, I need to keep the system completely self-contained. That is, I can not require the system to depend on any type of outside
switchboard or voip service provider.
Could someone please point me the in proper direction for how to design and build this system?
Regards,
Murrah Boswell
Hello,
I've bought a (el cheapo) midi-usb cable so I can play my musical
keyboard (also el cheapo... but I'm no professional :)). The thing is
that when I try to use it in my laptop (Gigabyte W566U, ArchLinux 64
bits, up to date), it is not reliable. I play the keys and the midi
events are not delivered correctly. I'm using aseqdump to debug. For
example, I press 5 keys and see 5 key down events, but when I releas
them, only 2 o 3 note up events are shown. And if I play too many
notes, it just stops receiving any events from the device, dmesg show
a strange message "urb status -75" and reconnects the usb device. I've
googled about that, but couldn't find anything usefull.
I tested the same cable on my old desktop (Asus A7N8X-X motherboard,
nvidia MX440 graphics card, 5 years of intensive e loyal use,
ArchLinux 32 bits) and it works fine. The difference between the two
seems to be the usb module that handles the device. On the laptop, it
is uhci_hcd, while on the desktop it is ohci_hcd who is loaded. I've
tried by all means I know to use ohci_hcd in the laptop too but I've
failed. Some things I remember to have tried:
1 - force the load order in the 3 possible ways in Arch (rc.conf,
mkinitcpio.conf and modprobe.conf, doesn't affect anything)
3 - disable uhci_hcd from loading (stops recognizing anything usb related)
4 - using a rt enabled kernel (doesn't affect anything, in fact my
desktop is old and the cable works with the default Arch kernel, which
is using CONFIG_NO_HZ=y)
Does anyone has any suggestions on how can I force ohci_hcd to be
loaded before uhci_hcd? Or is it realy the problem? I'm open to any
suggestions.

I have been messing around with the XML of JACK-RACK's patch files (to play with smudge/clean filters in git to store them in my source control system), and noticed something weird:
<channels>2</channels>
<samplerate>48000</samplerate>
Huh? Jack-rack saves the sample rate of a patch? Why?
I wonder what that's for? If I open a patch that I saved when using my internal HDA-Intel card at 48000Hz, then open it when using my FastTrack Pro (only does 44.1Khz), will Jack-Rack waste cycles doing all kinds of crazy sample-rate conversions in order to match what its saved file told it to do?
Perhaps more insanely, do I need to keep separate, parallel versions of all my Jack-Rack patches-- the only difference being the sample rate-- for each of the audio interfaces I use?

Some words of wisdom from a local electronic musician:
http://www.generalfuzz.net/blog/?p=486
He doesn't use Linux, but his point #2 is one of the nice side-effects of Linux being off the beaten path: there isn't the distraction of entirely new synths and plugins coming out every day. So it's easier to focus on the tools that are already there.
Of course, there's another problem replacing it: the potential distraction of endlessly tweaking the system instead of making music on it.
Speaking of which: many thanks to whomever posted the reminder about adding the --initrd flag to make-kpkg. I'd forgotten about that, and my upgrade process was stalled because of that.

Greetings,
I've updated my music page:

No new pieces, just some corrected URLs and a whopping new picture of
myself that must be seen to be believed. :-/

I have a Macbook and a firewire soundcard Edirol FA-66, and I was
wondering if someone else has similar hardware and could help me in
the hunting of the best distro for audio work, right now I'm using
8.04 UbutuStudio and I can't upgrade to 9.04 (freezes + xruns) and I
don't want to be stuck in the past.
