Re: Cadence 0.9.0 release and KXStudio 18.04 preparations
Hi.
I'am happy to see these good news.
However, I currently use Neon 16.04 + KxStudio packages. I allow myself to cast a doubt whit the choice to use Neon as base for KxStudio.
I explain:
Neon gives a lot and a lot of updates, with its fresh features and its bugs, and I've seen a lot, generally quickly fixed that's right, but I am not sure that user focused on audio programs will be happy whit so many updates on KDE programs.
The Neon LTS edition has been abandoned, but KDE will continue to give LTS versions of plasma. Would it be more careful to base kxstudio on a distribution with a LTS version of plasma ? I think that allmost users won't care about fresh (and sometimes not really ready) plasma features.

Ok, I probably misunderstood this news, if repos are still here. However, you didn't precise if KxStudio will take LTS repos or not. It changes nothing now, but it will at plasma 5.13 release (June 2018 probably).hmm where did you read that Neon LTS was abandoned?
I know it is not their focus, but the repositories for it are still up - even if authors dont make ISO releases of it anymore.
Anyway, I said that thinking to newbies, system works great at home with Neon + KxStudio packages, so there are no reason to not work well for kxstudio distribution.

I thought I posted this yesterday but apparently not - https://blog.neon.kde.org/index.php/201 ... ts-edition
I will be very happy that it's based on neon, it's the perfect base for me. I've not experienced many bugs, certainly not serious ones, so I wouldn't say it's anything to be too concerned about.
I wonder if something is wrong with my repos at the moment, I don't have the kxstudio-desktop-neon package (or zyn git).

As a KDE Neon user, I'm very happy with this direction.
What's Breezy-dark? Is that different from Breeze-dark (which is what I use as my theme).
What does the kxstudio-desktop-neon package actually do for someone already on KDE Neon?

Hi falkTX,
I set up my PC with Debian 9 and added the KX repositories. Pretty cool, almost everything works already (thanks to khz! )
I installed the RT debian kernel. In cadence there's a warning symbol next to the kernel, what does that mean?
Also, it is possible to get dark theme for the carla tools back?

I'm sure falktx will weigh in, but briefly:
Cadence probably needs to recognize that RT kernel and currently only recognizes low-latency kernels…
Cadence still uses system themes fine. It's dark on my KDE Neon install where system theme is breeze-dark.

It should warn you that you are NOT using a Linux kernel recommended for low latency audio production. But in your particular case, the app for some reason failed to acknowledge it. It shouldn't affect your performance nevertheless. You are fine Lilith.lilith wrote: In cadence there's a warning symbol next to the kernel, what does that mean?
FYI there is and easy check for if you choose an appropriate Linux kernel. Its simple as opening a terminal and type:
Code: Select all
uname -a
If you have PREEMPT RT, you are perfect. (The notorious "realtime" Linux kernel)
Happy hacking,
