[jazzplusplus-devel] Notes about linux kernel latency issues

[D.B. M. <db...@ho...>]

Greetings,


For breakfast, I decided to check this out a bit further,
mostly prompted by Pete's report on Ubuntu 7.10, (and
I think Robert reported a similar thing..) Remember, Ubuntu
8.series release is imminent, so this may become out of date
overnight as it were....

Debian:  Apparently, the deb '64studio' release (still in testing)
has the correct linux kernel makeup for RT/lowlatency operations.

http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/

Whether these images work in other Debian releases is unknown,
maybe they will (maybe I'll try later)


Ubuntu : (list quote)  [you are] "better off using UbuntuStudio 
which offers everything of Ubuntu + multimedia production...
so not much to loose and loads to get"


So it would seem Ubuntu plan to follow Debian's lead with a
multimedia production specific release....that said...

(quote)

"Lowlatency kernel is in standard ubuntu repositories,
just run: sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency

Then reboot and select that kernel from the GRUB list.

It should have no detrimental effects at all on normal usage.


Hope this helps some...


Regards,


Donald B
