The Ubuntu Studio team is very pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu Studio 12.04 LTS (Long-Term Support), Codenamed Precise Pangolin. Ubuntu Studio, the Ubuntu flavour designed with content creation in mind for creative individuals. This release is produced as a live DVD image that can also be converted to an USB stick and will be supported for 3 years. Due to overwhelming improvements during this development cycle, the The Ubuntu Studio Team is very proud and excited to have users experience Ubuntu Studio 12.04 LTS. New features include: * Live-DVD * GUI-based installation * lowlatency kernel installed by default * i386 images use the lowlatency-pae kernel * XFCE is default desktop environment * Pulse Audio - JACK bridging enabled by default * New theme, icons, and default font * New LightDM and Desktop background/backdrop images * Documented work flows/new application choices provide better user support * Menu restructured for better work flow support * ARandR included for improved multi-monitor functionality * mudita24 replaces envycontrol24 for ice1712 chip audio interfaces * Long Term Support release (3 years) Lastly, the Ubuntu Studio website is currently under complete development and is expected to be release within weeks. Please bear with our current website until then.

There are issues with bridging and they get worse as the latency goes down. At -p 1024 there don't seem to be any problems. By -p 128 the bridge uses the same cpu % that jack uses. (on my machine jack is 5% at idle, with the PA-jack bridge 11%) By -p 32 the PA bridge uses double the cpu % that jack does. (jack at about 12%, jack with bridge 30% +) Our next trick will be to enable switching it off and on. PA uses very little cpu with bridging turned off. The main use (as I see) for PA-jack bridging is for recording the output of apps that are PA only. For example recording a phone interview on skype (I have heard a number of podcasts done like that). Any other use is really not needed. If one is watching youtube... they really don't need jack running at all. PA is just fine for that. In some ways it would be nicer to have it off by default and only turn it on when needed. My other comment is that the few times PA-jack is needed, it can probably be run at a higher latency anyway. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
Re: Screensaver in Quantal
Le 26/04/2012 03:27, Benjamin Kerensa a écrit : I was wondering if anyone had given thought to re-implementing Screensaver in Quantal. I know that there was at one point a spec to re-implement Screensaver for Gnome 3. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-screensaver It seems to me that this could have been a potentially good feature to have shipped in Precise but going forward is this something that Ubuntu will offer to the end user? Hi, We would like really much to get that feature back, it has not made on the schedule previous cycles simply because we had higher priority things on our list, which is likely going to be the case again next cycle. If somebody is interested to work on that and need guidance feel free to step in and contact us though, we can probably help and we will be happy to do reviews and include it in the desktop once it's ready. -- Sebastien Bacher -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
Re: upstart beyond Ubuntu 12.04

The decision at the time was to stick with upstart through 12.04, and revisit the question after that. Some new functionality indeed depends on it (GDM multi seat). Other than that the idea is more about interfaces, though that might cause difficulties (e.g. if not communicated well what is depended upon like the timezone stuff). A switch to systemd would mean a whole new round of distribution integration bugs to keep us occupied between now and 14.04. [..] Sticking with upstart presents its own set of challenges; if other distributions adopt native systemd units for starting services, we will be less able to share work with those distributions. That would be unfortunate, but compared with destabilizing the core of Ubuntu for several cycles while we shake out a new set of bugs, this certainly seems the lesser evil. Nod. The Ubuntu Foundations team has committed to supporting upstart going forward beyond 12.04, and working to ensure it meets the needs of Ubuntu and flavors on desktops, servers and beyond. I look forward to talking with folks at UDS next month about this topic. I'm interested to know if: - Upstart will stay forever - Upstart vs systemd will be decided again in e.g. 6 months time or a multiple of that - What would make systemd acceptable? - If decided that systemd is possibly ok, what help is needed (e.g. expertise, knowledge in Debian, etc)? To be clear: I don't really care about systemd vs upstart. My slight preference for systemd as it could allow to remove some GNOME code (in gnome-session) and because Mageia uses it. -- Regards, Olav (not an Ubuntu developer) -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

I look forward to talking with folks at UDS next month about this topic. I'm interested to know if: - Upstart will stay forever Nothing in software is forever, but this is not a decision that we plan to revisit. We believe, as we have since its first deployment, that upstart is the right boot architecture for Linux both now and in the future. And contrary to the hype, upstart has a significant head start on systemd now in terms of real-world burn-in, which isn't going away. If there are no compelling reasons to switch to systemd now, I don't think it's realistic to think that's going to change in the future. - Upstart vs systemd will be decided again in e.g. 6 months time or a multiple of that It would be a very large multiple.
