That's what I find challenging. I find Cadence and Catia to be more user-friendly than qjackctl, but even with that it's a pain. I find that class-compliant USB audio interfaces tend to work fine, but most of my friends also want their laptop sound cards to work, and that's a huge pain. It never "just works," and the steps that make it "work" seem to be different for every laptop, if I ever figure it out at all. I had by now assumed that there just is no one-size-fits-all configuration so that JACK works out-of-the-box for any given sound card. However, it sounds like you have had a good experience with Ubuntu Studio. If you can confirm that Ubuntu Studio works even with your laptop sound card, I would be very interested to understand and copy their default configuration. > If I could help with finding some configuration files from Ubuntu > Studio, I think that would be doable. Does anyone have a sense of what > files are needed to be looked at? First, can you tell me the output of the following commands? You only need to bother with the last two if it turns out the pulseaudio isn't installed. $ apt policy jackd1 | grep Installed $ apt policy jackd2 | grep Installed $ apt policy pulseaudio | grep Installed $ grep Exec /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop $ apt policy firefox Then, I have a few questions. (1) What version of Ubuntu Studio are you running? There are three supported versions right now: 18.04, 18.10, and 19.04. I am most interested in 18.04 since that's Trisquel 9's upstream. (2) What graphical frontend are you using for JACK? This is important, since it could have it's own configuration files separate from JACK and pulseaudio. KXStudio uses Cadence for configuring and Catia for routing, but as far as I can tell those packages are not present in Ubuntu. I know of a few other frontends (qjackctrl, patchage, patchmatrix) and it would be helpful to know what Ubuntu Studio uses. (3) If it's not too much trouble, can you also run $ ubuntustudio-controls and share some screenshots of whatever pops up? It seems like this might include a JACK front end, but I can't find any detailed information online. (4) This isn't important to answer right now, but start thinking about what audio programs you use frequently and if there are any for which it is important to you to have a newer version than that in Ubuntu 18.04, to help get an idea of which packages might be worth backporting. When I have more time I'll download an Ubuntu Studio ISO and mess around with a live session. For now though, if you can quickly check/answer the things I list above, that will give a good idea of what sort of approach Ubuntu Studio have taken. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ubuntu Studio As Base for Next Trisquel? Trisquelize for Ubuntu Studio?
I really like this. Thanks for putting it together. I'm definitely not very comfortable configuring all these things myself. I tiried with Trisquel 8 and I could get something working but then it would break. I ended up getting very frustrated and would give up. I think because of this I probably lost years of productiviity with my creative projects. This make me a bit sad and I really wish I could have been able to make a stable audio production system, at this point I just want to be creative. I am currently freeing myself as I go with Ubuntu Studio. If I could help with finding some configuration files from Ubuntu Studio, I think that would be doable. Does anyone have a sense of what files are needed to be looked at? publickey - davidpgil@protonmail.com - 0x01EB3346.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ubuntu Studio As Base for Next Trisquel? Trisquelize for Ubuntu Studio?
> I think due to Trisquels popularity amoung the Free Software > community, it should start incorporating more installtion options that > allow for a multimedia workspace situation. Here's a possible roadmap in three stages, each of which could be beneficial even if we don't make it to the next stage. (1a) Backport to Trisquel 9 any widely-used multimedia programs from Ubuntu Studio's backports PPA for 18.04. (1b) Bring in Cadence and Catia (unless you know of some better graphical frontends to JACK) and maybe some plugins, from KXStudio's repository. At this point Trisquel 9 will be reasonably well suited for multimedia production for users who are comfortable configuring it themselves. (2a) Study and copy Ubuntu Studio's default audio configuration (2b) Decide on a desktop environment (2c) Decide on default programs (2d) Make all of this installable with a "trisquel-studio" metapackage. At this point Trisquel 9 users can install the "trisquel-studio" metapackage to have a preconfigured multimedia system. (3) If trisquel-studio reaches a point where it seems polished enough could be made an official flavor with it's on ISO. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: [Trisquel-users] Partitioning for average end user.
A quick update, I haven't had the system freeze with a blank screen again since I set up the swap file, even though I've been leaving it unattended for a few hours at a time. The plural of anecdote is not data, but this does seem to support my contention that Trisquel is able to hibernate to and resume from a swap file (maybe only on SSDs?). Magic banana: > If you find out the rationale for the default [partition scheme in Trisquel installer], please tell it here. Willdo, although anyone from the Trisquel dev team could share this with us if they have time.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel on Arm? Pinebook Pro running Trisquel? Trisquel Touch?
This is kinda off-topic, but i'm running Trisquel on a Acer Aspire 5315 and it really surprised me that the laptop's wifi-thing just worked right away. I'm not saying that you should go buy one of these, but I'm not saying that you shouldn't either.

Thanks for the tip, Narcis. I installed it but I'm not sure how to use it for this purpose. I will try to find some tutorials for it.
