Re: [PD] OT : Ubuntu/Fedora opinions (relative to Pd, of course)

Many on this list are software specialists, so please don't look down on someone who doesn't want to follow 3 pages of instructions of how to make pulse audio work 'on top of' ALSA - especially if there are follow-ups on the relevant forums that they still don't have any signal output. My laptop currently runs F9 (or WinXP) and works is an mp3 player, full stop. From posts on the fedora list I understand that my situation is even better than many others who don't even get that to work. My question is, how does Ubuntu studio compare to Fedora? Before I start doctoring with my laptop and install Ubuntu 9.04 instead of F9 I'm scratching my head. Thanks for any comments. you can download an ubuntu iso and burn it on cd and start it safely from there. you will quickly see, how well your soundcard and card configuration in your laptop is supported. personally, i don't have any experience with fedora, but i'd say for ubuntu at least it is difficult to make general statement. of course, the ubuntu dev team is eager to fix as many problems as possible, but still in most cases it is simply a matter of whether the included alsa version supports a certain card/configuration or not. i've made very different experiences in terms of sound working out of the box, altough most of the time it works without tweaking. i found, that the jack audioserver is a lot easier to setup and integrates much better in more recent versions of ubuntu. after starting jack (e.g. with qjackctl), it's even possible to launch pulseaudio automatically, so that it uses jack as the backend. this means, that even non-jack capable applications can be captured by puredata, for instance. i mention jack, because i found, that puredata runs quite stable with jack and has only little dropouts. it sometimes it still works well with jack, eventough you get a lot of 'tried but couldn't sync A/D/A' messages and crackling noises with alsa. before doctoring around, i really would only test your setup from a live-cd - just to check, if you can get a workable setup in one session. if not, and if you dislike tinkering around, then let it be, i'd say. in order to test, if puredata audio works for you, you need to perform the following steps (after you launched the live-cd): - enable the multiverse repository: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enable-the-universe-and-multiverse-repositories-in-ubuntu-804-hardy.html - update your apt cache: sudo aptitude update - install pd and jack audio server: sudo aptitude install puredata qjackctl - start jack: qjackctl - start puredata: pd -jack -channels 2 if you come that far within a reasonable amount of time, ubuntu might be an option for you. let us know your progess. roman Hi, I've tried FC but I've been a happy Ubuntu Studio 8.04 user for, well, about a year now. I used to run Debian sid, but compiling a RT-kernel was such a pain and such a time-consuming process (not to talk about the nVidia proprietary driver that made me mad a couple of time every year) that I was glad to switch to Ubuntu. The only drawxback: no Hardy Studio live CD. But it's very stable with Pd+Jack+Ardour+ Edirol UA25, 8ms delay on a Dell Laptop, easy to install, easy to maintain. I even installed it on my older Shuttle running an old 1.3ghz AMD, and it runs like a charm. ++ OH Here is my sources.list: cat /etc/apt/sources.list # # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Studio 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423.1)]/ hardy main multiverse restricted universe #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Studio 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423.1)]/ hardy main multiverse restricted universe # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution. deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted deb-src http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the ## distribution. deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted deb-src http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team, and may not be under a free licence.

Should all of the build farm machines have libv4l-dev installed? yep. though i seem to remember that there were some problems with older versions of libv4l (no idea, which exact version though; might be very early versions, like 0.1). for the future, libv4l is definitely the way to go on linux.
