I am seeing lots of hard lock ups with Ubuntu Studio 9.04 too
I have seen it on two my computers and two of my sons. These machines are all
different ages and have different hardware.
We tried to debug it for a little while, but since it was happening on such a
wide variety of hardware *and* since it was happening soon after boot up (i.e.
no heavy processing, sometimes even before starting jack) we gave up
In fact, we are giving Arch Linux a try. We figure that if we have more
control over the configuration that maybe we can (finally) get a stable /
flexible Linux audio box
Dont get me wrong we are big fans of Linux audio
but we want to spend some time making music too

yes, my sons locked up too, but it happened as soon as i tried to insert the iso-CD!
;-)
cheers!
(please do report about your progress with ARCH -- i'm looking seriously at that
distro now too)

I love this statement!
Don’t get me wrong – we are big fans of Linux audio…
but we want to spend “some” time making music too…
We solve these problems
Thank you

I do feel the need to keep pointing out that on my machine, the lock-ups
were also happening under Fedora Core 10, and even happened while
running memtest86. Ubuntu Studio might have some issues right now, but
for me, the problem is hardware.

My machine was freezing with Ubuntu Studio 9.04 (rt kernel with nvidia card).
It seems to me that one have to be pragmatic when it comes to distros and test
diffrent ones in order to make it work on a system.
Finally, I ended up using Fedora Core 10 with CCRMA, and now, the good old
stability I had one year ago is back. Libs and apps in the repos are quite new
too, so I don't need to compile every sound related app like crazy in order to
have a new, stable (and "modern") system.
I have to admit that it took long time before i was willing to go from Ubuntu
to something different, but after 2 evenings, my systems heart (Ardour,
Rosegarden, Linuxsampler (Fantasia) and jack is working as it should.
It's good to finally have time to make some music again ;-)

I had some problems with Ubuntu 9.04 also, and have run ArtistX 0.7 for
months now and it's been completely stable and functional:

Seems like a small community, but I've been posting as much assistance
to the forum as possible. It's an exceptionally complete distro - an
approx 9.8GB install supporting audio, video, and graphics right out of
"the box."
