Well, I am now dual booting [well... triple booting as I need
MacOSX for my wife's phone :( ]
I use Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu Studio 12.04. It works out of the

ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu
Yes, I do understand this, though Ubuntu Studio is configured for AV
usage much more than Ubuntu is (lowlatency kernel is default, as you
well know)
I didn't have to try anything fancy.
I am using a Presonus Firebox.
i use a presonus firepod
Nice! It is good to know other Presonus devices work well!
I prefer to use only FLOSS and only want to install it rather than
use a liveCD/USB/DVD (unless it is puppy),
the live CD's i suggest *are* FLOSS, and the one you used to install
ubuntustudio will do fine. its so you can tweak and try configurations
and easily get back to a default state without breaking your current
installation
I know they are Libre software... I simply meant that I'd rather install
it than use a Live system. The only thing I am tweaking is QJackCtrl in
order to make it see the FireBox, in 14.04. the presets can be easily
reset, as I have a 'safe' saved preset using alsa and and experimental
preset for firewire
but thanks for your info.
I am in 12.04 right now, but if you need me to run some commands
and post the output I would be glad to. Presonus Firebox is
already on FFADO (which is why I got it).
the presonus firepod works "out of the box" for me in ubuntustudio
12.04 through 14.04
Unfortunately this is not the case with Ubuntu (not Ubuntu Studio). So
that is why I am posting to the Ubuntu Studio list, in order to find out
what is different in Studio, so I can simply configure whatever it is by
hand to work. And I appreciate you spending so much of your time trying
to help me!
I got the interface specifically to use in Ubuntu... but 14.04 is
having issues with it.
presonus doenst officially support linux.. RME does AFAIK
I know, it says that on the FFADO page, but in the comments someone
mentioned that it did actually work 'out of the box' in Ubuntu 12.04, so
I figured I'd get it (12.04 is supported for long enough anyhow)
To enable it in Studio 12.04
there is no "enable" process for the firepod i have from presonus. it
literally just runs when i have proper supported firewire chipsets
hmmm... you don't even need to start the mixer? I may try without
starting the mixer... but surely you need Jack, right?
Mike, I really appreciate all your patience and hard work in helping me
to resolve this issue with 14.04. either way, I am glad to have 12.04
working splendidly with it.
I always enjoy the process of getting some old 'broken' computer and
giving it new life with Ubuntu (or in some cases Debian or Fedora... and
once in a while Puppy).
Thanks for helping me turn this old Mac someone thought was useless into
a recording studio :)
I am not sure I can say thank you enough times, but I do really
appreciate your help!
