Upgrading from kxstudio 14.* to 18.* is a massive upgrade on many levels. It might be fine but it might not be. Telling someone to install something that is soon not going to be supported is not much different than telling them to install an old version of windows, any security flaws that come to light could be exploited and targeted in the same way. Of course, it could be said if you just need an audio workstation without internet it is fine and will probably work for many years but this isn't a very likely scenario and goes further than just personal taste.Luc wrote:April 2019 still gives you four months. Good enough for anyone to get started then upgrade when the new one comes.
I use plain Debian with KXStudio repositories and I don't even like Ubuntu, but it's just a matter of personal taste and I don't see any problem with support ending in April.

Re: KXStudio --> to install or not to install? --> Better Options
Personal taste is just why I don't like Ubuntu. No connection with the rest of the topic.
I still think that four months is fine. He can upgrade then or even a month later. No big deal. What else is he supposed to do until then?

Re: KXStudio --> to install or not to install? --> Better Options
It is a big deal though, KDE alone between those versions is a huge difference, not to mention the substantial system program differences. Lots of ubuntu users don't even recommend upgrading from one major version to another, let alone two versions. It's not something to take lightly.Luc wrote:He can upgrade then or even a month later. No big deal.
Like I said, install Neon and add the repo. You would get an up to date ubuntu base, very up to date and rolling version of KDE, and the kxstudio stuff you know and love. Except for theming it shouldn't be any different to what the new iso will be. The kxstudio package that sets audio settings will still work (can't remember the name of it now, default settings or something?) so it's a pretty simple process.Luc wrote:What else is he supposed to do until then?

Re: KXStudio --> to install or not to install? --> Better Options
Just to clear this up : you don't get KX repos for Arch. Arch has three main repos : Core, Extra and Community. There is a lot of audio software available in the Community repo, pre-compiled and ready to install with pacman. Here is a list.sysrqer wrote: Unless something has changed recently you have to compile all the packages and add them individually and you are still lacking in some places (such as if you use the official ardour package from ardour some plugins will not show their gui, again unless this has changed recently).
To me the heart of KX Studio was Cadence, and you can get that. Ardour works well so far.

Re: KXStudio --> to install or not to install? --> Better Options
Hi all,
due to your tips and the fact that my second monitor, which is connected via Displayport, was not recognized in KXStudio 14.04, I have now installed the following software in the following order:
1. Kubuntu 18.04
2. Added the KXRepositories
3. Cadence installed
4. libffado2, ffado-tools, ffado-mixer-qt4, jackd, jackd2, jackd2-firewire installed
Unfortunately, when I open Youtube for example, there is no sound to be heard yet, i.e. it seems that I still have to change something in the configuration of my audio interface (RME Fireface 800) (in Cadence?).
When I installed KXStudio 14.04. on my old computer, the Fireface worked immediately without any problems. Do you have a hint what exactly I need to set in Cadence to make Fireface work again?
Many greetings
Daniel

Re: KXStudio --> to install or not to install? --> Better Options
Hi,
after a hard night of trying and crying i have the following problems:
In cadence i cannot start ALSA Audio. When i click on the Start button nothing happens (it remains stopped).
Bridge type is ALSA->Loop->Jack.
Is it possible that ALSA is not installed at all? I thought this would be installed with Cadence... how can I install ALSA?
In Catia i onyl see my fireface devices but i have no jack2alsa and alsa2jack connectors to connect.
Could this be related to the problem described above (no ALSA installed)?
I have then installed GIT and executed a realtimeConfigQucikScan
The scan says:
== GUI-enabled checks ==
Checking if you are root... no - good
Checking filesystem 'noatime' parameter... 4.15.0 kernel - good
(relatime is default since 2.6.30)

Set CPU Governors to 'performance' with 'cpufreq-set -c <cpunr> -g performance'
See also: http://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=844

For more information, see http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_ ... sysctlconf
I did this but have not restarted yet...hopefully it works after restart

I have created the nuew file 40-timer-permissions.rules in the directory "/etc/udev/rules.d/"

The "increase max_user_watches by adding 'fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288'" I find confusing. For a newcomer, perhaps even more confusing.
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_ ... sysctlconf
viewtopic.php?p=93108#p93108There are references on the net on adjusting the fs.inotify.max_user_watches value also for enhanced performance. But it remains very unclear where these references come from and if adjusting this value actually does anything at all. The max_user_watches parameter sets the maximum number of files your system can monitor with inotify (which is part of the kernel) for changes. Setting this parameter too low results in inotify failing. Setting it too high can make inotify needlessly consume memory. Best is to not touch the default settings as setting this parameter is unrelated to performance in an audio context.

Re: KXStudio --> to install or not to install? --> Better Options
OK, now it seems that the system is working.
When i start PulseAudio in Cadence the System Sounds (like Youtube, etc.) work.
In Harrison Mixbus 32C (which i use for Mixing) Playback works (Using the Jack Driver.
Is it anyway important to solve the last three Problems:
1. RealTimeTest-Result:
"Checking access to the high precision event timer... not readable - not good
/dev/hpet found, but not readable.
make /dev/hpet readable by the 'audio' group"
and
"Checking access to the real-time clock... not readable - not good
/dev/rtc found, but not readable.
make /dev/rtc readable by the 'audio' group"
But how can i make them readable?
The explanation on "http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_ ... are_timers" I don't understand... ;-(
Can someone explain it easier?
2.
I still have not changed the kernel because i just don't know
- if this is really necessary. As said, now i can playback System Sound and Sound out of my Mixbus App.
- Which of the kernels is the one to be chosen? If you write "you can use every kernel and test it" i anyway don't know which one is the right one ;-(
My current Kernel is 4.8.15 Generic.
3.
ALSA can still not be started -> Maybe this is related to the (not realtime-) Kernel? Can i test, if ALSA is installed?
Do i need ALSA?

- Which of the kernels is the one to be chosen? If you write "you can use every kernel and test it" i anyway don't know which one is the right one ;-(
My current Kernel is 4.8.15 Generic.
3.
ALSA can still not be started -> Maybe this is related to the (not realtime-) Kernel? Can i test, if ALSA is installed?
Do i need ALSA?

I don't think you want jackd and jackd2 at the same time.basementmedia wrote:4. libffado2, ffado-tools, ffado-mixer-qt4, jackd, jackd2, jackd2-firewire installed
Have you installed kxstudio-default-settings ?
You can install KX meta packages : https://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Documen ... a-Packages

You can install the low-latency kernel, you should find the linux-lowlatency package easily.

The one that works best. With Nvidia graphics card a low latency kernel, otherwise an RT kernel.basementmedia wrote:- Which of the kernels is the one to be chosen? If you write "you can use every kernel and test it" i anyway don't know which one is the right one ;-(
Very important entry:

echo "@audio - rtprio 90" >> /etc/security/limits.conf && echo "@audio - memlock unlimited" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
ALSA - your sound card driver - is in the kernel. You would have to uninstall the kernel to remove ALSA.basementmedia wrote:ALSA can still not be started -> Maybe this is related to the (not realtime-) Kernel? Can i test, if ALSA is installed?
Do i need ALSA?

To get alsa aloop working, make sure snd-aloop module is installed. sudo modprobe snd-aloop
To do this permanently, add snd-aloop to /etc/modules or similar (/etc/modules.d/alsa-snd-aloop.conf)
Also check /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf or similar for the memory unlock stuff. I dont' have it to hand, but ask on kxstudio forum.

Not all Arch distributions require building KX packages from AUR
KX packages are available from Manjaro community repository
AVLinux has KX repositories already added, probably best choice alternative to KX ISO at this time
