Hi Michael :) "Problems with a dual core on 64studio stable"
The killall jackd issue has nothing to do with the distro, I'm using Suse too and some other people are using Arch, Sidux and other distros too. > Still, this is not the main problem. Just changing the CPU shouldn't > break jackd. I wonder, if there's something wrong with the CPU or the > motherboard. On the other hand, I haven't experienced any problems > with other applicaions such as Thunderbird or Firefox. You, a lot of other people and I have that killall jackd problem. Independent if they are using "good" Intel only stuff or like me a "bad" ASUS M2A-VM HDMI" with an "AMD BE-2350 (Socket AM2, Athlon X2 Dual-Core)" or stuff like that. All that is reported well by several people to the "right" people. Some other Linux people and me, we are still using Linux for all day work, but we have given up Linux multimedia and we are fine with Windows XP pro for multimedia. The only thing I can imagine, that might solve the trouble for you, is to take a look if there was a problem by your BIOS for your new CPU. Maybe there is an update for your BIOS that solved this. The Mozilla applications, OOo, GIMP and lots of other stuff is fine for me too, I "only" get this killall jackd too. I wasn't able to solve this from April 2008 to December 2008 and before I had other Linux multimedia troubles from November 2003 to April 2008 with another mobo and another CPU. Since January 2009 I'm using Windows for multimedia and I don't have any serious troubles. The only trouble I have is, that I sometimes have to restart my sequencer, because recorded MIDI data will have delay, if I won't do this. Anything else is fine and also the quality of Reverbs and Synth is much better, latencies are smaller etc. ... and no crashes. I guess you should use your old CPU again, if you like to go on with Linux for multimedia. If you were fine with it, why did you changed it? There seems to be a high risk, that if hardware that's fine with Linux completely wrecked, you won't get new hardware, that will be fine with Linux for multimedia too. I hope that some day that "killall jackd" problem will be taken serious by the Linux community. I couldn't notice that for the last month. Cheers, Ralf
