PA has no business here! I wonder that it's part of Ubuntu Studio, because it only will cause pain. For Envy24 cards you need to edit the same file you need to edit, if you'll make two Envy24 cards one virtual device. I never tested if it's possible to make them a virtual device, when there's PA. OT: I switched to Maverick, while 2.6.33.7.2-rt30 is ok for Lucid, the nvidia driver and all other kernels get the module by the repositories, this doesn't work for 2.6.33.7.2-rt30 + the generic kernel for Maverick, OTOH building initrd don't need a hack anymore. Such things should be kept in order by a 'studio' distro as, e.g. 64 Studio does, unfortunately 64 Studio is outdated, I guess they only care about OEM now. Ubuntu Studio Lucid is completely useless for audio and MIDI productions on my computer, I hope I'll be able to fix Maverick. > I have seen this particular interface working > perfectly well under Debian, 64Studio, Suse and even Gentoo... Suse, Fedora (Planet CCRMA), Arch, AV Linux etc. might be better choices if the computer only should be a DAW. At the moment I only keep Ubuntu, regarding to Edubuntu, but perhaps I'll switch back to my Suse and 64 Studio installs and add educational software there. Unfortunately I only know a 'good' Wiki about educational software by the Ubuntu community and I guess averaged social pedagogue are unable to understand software for children without lengthy texts and especially this species of humans needs lengthy texts to believe that educational software on Linux is reputable ;D. I try to make an install that will add educational and studio applications, so that I could install it to computers of social pedagogues, daycare facility for children etc.. But again, for a DAW only IMO Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio are the most worse distros. It needs a distro like 64 Studio, based on Ubuntu, but with tweaks to get a stable DAW, to use Ubuntu. 2 Cents, Ralf -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
