Friday July 15, 2011. I don't know enough yet to feel 'comfortable' messing around with Linux code. I'm using Ubuntu Studio v10.04 LTS 64 bit. IDJC still freezes with "doodle" and "Python" both taking turns randomly, yet with no predictability as to when they're going to use 100% CPU.
To be fair, I've noticed IDJC on sourceforge.net has an upgraded version out now. I just bought a used Dell with 2.8 Ghz, 1 GB (4-256 MB RAM cards), Western Digital 80 GB HD for $225 US. I guess it had some version of Windows. Don't care. First thing I did was pop open the tower to see what it had for hardware. Found a phone modem. Took that out. Found an old NVIDIA graphics card. I googled it. Had 32 MB video RAM. That HAD TO GO. I replaced with a ATI Radion 512 MB video RAM card that I'd bought from Dell years, before I got educated on Graphics Cards. Also took an old Dell, i'd paid $1400 for, that I gut for parts, pulled its WD 80 GB HD out. Figured out the used Dell's IDE cable out. Said HD 1 and HD 2 on the cable. I thought hmm.... I wonder if?... I took my ($1400) Dell's 80 GB drive. Made sure i left the jumper pin set to CS. No jumper pin on the other 80 GB drive. Hooked up both drives to IDE cable. Turned on PC, error came up, which I expected. Went into CMOS and set everything to what I thought it would want. Next, took old v5.1 Knoppix CD LIVE Run to use GParted. Why? Because GParted in v5.1 lets you do anything you want. Deleted all 10 partitions between the 2 drives. Later, put in Ubuntu Studio v11.04 LTS 64 bit CD. Told the (installation wizard, assuming for newbies) to Partition the 2nd drive 100% ext4. Then went back and let Ubuntu 'decide' to partition 1st HD. It put 79 GB Linux native ext4 and 1 GB Linux Swap. Formatted both drives, saved changes. Then after a few screens had gone by, I noticed it wanted you to pick from 5 selections. It didn't have a HELP button or explain the difference, so I picked the 1st choice. Video Production (or something to that affect). Did about 150 updates it wanted. Next Project: Going to attempt to install IDJC/JACK. Curious if it'll run on limited RAM of 1 GB. I was surprised it didn't download and install ATI's software to tweak graphics card settings. Ubuntu's historically been great about installing NVIDIA and ATI's software. It showed something ATI had installed in Synaptic Package Manager but I look everywhere, including EDIT MENUS in case it hadn't 'checked' a box to force it to show up in Main Menu. Hmm. Guess I'll have to find in Synaptic and install, if i want to see what mischief ATI is up to. More post in a couple months after I've installed IDJC/JACK and possibly purchased more RAM and a different sound card. Because, the 'installed' sound card is junk! I will test and observe 'doodle' and 'Python' processes and note it here.
