Hi all, Here's an update fixing some of the worst bugs in 3.3-alpha1. Grub and cdd-config bugs are fixed, for a smoother installation experience.
Features: Real-time Linux kernel 2.6.31 (or 2.6.33 later) JACK 1.9.5 or later FFADO 2.0 or later LXDE in place of GNOME EXT4 file system by default GRUB 2 prerelease by default wicd in place of gnome-network-manager The return of Debian-style root user accounts! Iso images (379MB) for CD-R or DVD-R installation are available here: http://pdk.64studio.com/projects/64studio/karmic/images/ There is also documentation for installing from a USB memory stick here: http://pdk.64studio.com/projects/64studio/karmic/install_from_usb_stick.txt As this is an alpha release, expect breakage - this version is not for production use. Here are some of the known bugs you will encounter: 0. The amd64 version has not been tested yet (for a change). i386 version is now tested and known to work. 1. The installer asks a question about setting up jackd for realtime use. Answer yes here, of course. You may also see a question about downloading extra language packages. 2. After install, the gdm session defaults to xterm - select lxde from the drop-down menu on the lower right instead. 3. Your user account must be added to the audio group in /etc/group manually, before you log in and start JACK. For example, open an xterm with a right click on the LXDE desktop, su to root and enter the command: adduser myusername audio Otherwise you won't be able to lock memory or get real-time scheduling. 4. A 64 Studio apt repo is set up on the distro, but of course there is no stable source yet, so apt-get update will result in a 404 error unless you comment out this source. 5. amSynth is installed but shows up on the Other menu instead of the Sound & Video menu. 6. amSynth has a menu item under Utils -> Virtual Keyboard which does not seem compatible with vmpk, the replacement for vkeybd.
