Hi everyone. My name is Rafael Gálvez-Cañero. I'm another potential tester. I was willing to just watch the steps followed by Asmo Koskinen, but given that I was mentioned in his answer to the message I'm answering right now and the last question your message does, I'll step in (if you dont mind :)).

My personal area of interest is DAW (Ardour and Jack at least), but in the current 9.04 I experienced a sort of showstopper bug. I think the next two bugs express my issue and are the same one indeed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-rt/+bug/364530 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-rt/+bug/354816 My summary: at some point the rt kernel freeze: under gnome (vanilla ubuntustudio, audio tasksel) it seems to freeze keyboard and mouse, but some things like progress bars continue to be animated; under kde (kubuntu + ubuntustudio-audio) it just freeze. It seems to be relateed to the rt kernel (the -generic kernel is not affected), smp (booting with nosmp seems to solve the inmediate problem) and the network stack (not loading network drivers or just "ifconfig ethX down" for your active networks interfaces seems to solve the problem too). According to the bug reports, different kinds of hardware are involved (including amd and intel processors and different network interfaces). I contacted Asmo to ask about the kernel he is using and his integration with the rest of the ubuntustudio packages, hoping to find a solution or a clue about the above bugs and allowing me at the same time to use Ardour and other audio programs without having to choose another distro (Ubuntu is my distro of choice, but i suppose i can live with studio64 for six months until 9.10, if works). I would like to help testing 9.10 for this reason too. Thanks in advance for any provided advice. Rafa.
