Yup, I made the jump.
So far, all is not good, but it’s kinda OK.
Been having trouble with sound, but after the fix (the old fix for 701 had to be made), and after I cranked up Front-volume etc, it seems ok.
Wifi is also not super good. There’s a fix in the wiki, but I havent bothered yet. Maybe Wifi is ok after all. I don’t know.
Most annoying thing is that Firefox takes for ever to start up! It just waits? Nothing happens, and after a long time, it’s up. Weird.
Also there’s some weird things going on with the update manager. It wants to do partial upgrades all the time.
Besides that? Great:)
Forgot to mention this.
Upgraded my eee to Ubuntu Eee Hardy:) I like it.
Go to the Ubuntu Eee wiki for instructions.
Will try to write a short how to for optimizing it later.
Endelig slipper du formatering/install av nytt OS på din spiller nye PC:)
Multicom har skjønt det.
[EDIT]It’s still super buggy. Managed to record some tracks, but then Jack suddenly got zombified and I got this error message: “cannot read result for request type 7 from server”. Plus something about Broken Pipe. So we’re not quite there yet…[/EDIT]
Yes! I finally got it to work. So now I must write it down…
There may be several steps missing here, I’ve been fiddling around for ages trying to get this one to work. Anyways, here goes:
- You need a Realtime Kernel. Yes, you do. Go here for instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime/Feisty
- Of course, reboot after your new kernel is installed.
- In terminal
sudo modprobe raw1394 (or add to modules for permanent fix)
- Also in terminal
sudo chmod o+rw /dev/raw1394 this one has to be done each time you fire up the firebox..
- Launch qjackctl AS ROOT (then realtime ‘just works’)
- Setup jack. My setup is:
XRealtime, Priority 75, Frames/Period 256, Sample Rate 48000, Periods/Buffer 2, Port Maximum 256, Timeout 500, Interface hw:0, Audio Duplex, Input Channels 10, Output channels 10, Input/output latency both 0, Start Delay 2. And yeah of course: driver freebob.
I’m pretty sure I will tweak these settings later, but leave it like this for now,. it works:)
- Then launch Ardour as root. Start your session. And start recording!
You can change from dual screen to single screen (and vise versa) by using xrandr.
$ xrandr #this will display all available modes
$ xrandr -s 0 #replace zero with any mode that you want to change to
Thanks to Marcele on the Ubuntu Forums
To enable the other screen if the cable was’nt there on boot, I believe you have to:
$ sudo aticonfig –enable-monitor=lvds, tv
And then: Ctrl-Alt-BckSp
I will look into this later on, to see if it works.
Yeah btw, I’ve got an ATI-card
