kijjaz, thanks for the instructions on compiling ChucK under Ubuntu 9.10 - I must get around to updating my Ubuntu and installing ChucK on it. How do I update Ubuntu to 9.10?

Inventor: You can upgrade from your Ubuntu 9.04 with update-manager -c but actually I really recommend a clean install from the install CD/DVD. |

Have you used studioubuntu? It's an official release from the ubuntu team, for the purpose of multimedia and audio production. It has a few key features that differentiate it from the usual ubuntu releases. These are largely focused around the kernel: The normal ubuntu release is built with kernel options for a user or server environment. Studioubuntu uses preemptive and low-latency modifications in the kernel (replacing the normal scheduler, adding a few realtime timers, preemptive tasks, etc) that really allow the system to be much more responsive to realtime data, like audio!

Since it tracks the Ubuntu team (as an official release), it is often released at the same time So, there is a 9.10 version available! |

I'm there man, here's my setup: I bought an Acer Aspire netbook and got an Ubuntu release that installed itself in 40MB of the disk (it took 1/4 of the disk for itself, how well behaved!). What's my next move to convert this to Ubuntu Studio?

I'm not sure exactly: clean install is one option. The other option, might be that ubuntu studio might have a different config for the synaptic (apt-get) updater ( so you add the studioubuntu repository url's to synaptic, and then updating the kernel (in particular) to the preemptive one should be an option. I think. |

Clean Install is the best option for me, I want a fresh start. I want Ubuntu to have half of the disk, not one quarter of it. What do I do next?

By 1/4, you mean when the partition editor only uses 1 partition, and it's only 1/4 of the total? Often the editor will make several partitions, which can hide everything that's there:
/ (root)
/home (your stuff here)
/var ( shared stuff, programs you build, compile space, etc)
/swap is special, and needed.
/boot is also impertant, but can be very small.
If you want as much space available without knowing in advance how to split it up, during the install choose to do the partitioning manually. Then create
/swap. (1 or 2x your ram size)
/boot (100mb is large here)
/ (root) (linux will automatically put everything else here. In fact if you don't make boot, it will also end up here. But swap must be seperate. |

Yes. I'm also using the rt kernel that was compiled for lower-latency multimedia use especially for helping Jack running with real-time mode for better CPU with lower latency comparing to a generic kernel.
But maybe I still haven't pushed the CPU that much. When I used real-time mode on generic kernel, it is still often smooth, but yeah the rt kernel is even smoother I can feel.
From Ubuntu clean install, we can install linux-rt for the whole real-time pre-emptive kernel & kernel modules & kernel headers. |
