Hi all,
I've had a lot of little problems with my ubuntu recently so i decided to
get it reinstalled.
First I went for the last version but I didn't really like the unity
desktop. Had a lot of little annoying things on my laptop such as not being
able to set a brightness setting that wouldn't be reset at boot. All in
all, i decided to go back to gnome.
As I didn't know what older version to chose and as I was pretty pleased
with my Lucid, I went back to Lucid;
Now my problem is I need a rt or lowlatency kernel (2.6.32 or higher) to
be able to set up my laptop properly because I use some pretty original
settings to make the best out of my machine.
But now I can't find any... :(
I looked in abogani's and falktx's ppas but nothing there.
So my question is simple, which version of ubuntu should I choose to be
able to enjoy a good audio workstation with a corresponding rt or
lowlatency kernel ?
Second question, if I wanna stick with lucid where can I find the
lowlatency or rt kernel (2.6.32 or higher) I'm
looking for ?
Thanks in advance
jy
There is linux 3.0-lowlatency for natty in abogani's PPA and you can select
ubuntu classic (gnome2) in the login screen. This is what I am using.
Admittedly, my computer is not an audio workstation but I sometimes enjoy
guitarix, ardour, etc, without problems.
Also, there is linux 2.6.33-rt for lucid in kxstudio PPA. It is not in the
main PPA but look for "KXstudio team kernels and drivers".
Cheers, Pablo
