Ubuntu Studio: "Puppy Edition"

[panzerpuppy]

Turbopup Xtreme is extremely efficient, great for audio as well, but there's one (major) drawback - it's kernel is optimised for single core PCs. With a modern PC which has multiple cores (and hyper threading), you'll only be able to utilise one core / one thread.
For single core machines and old/slow/junk hardware, this is the fastest version of Puppy you can get.
If you have a powerful single core PC (AthlonXP, Athlon64 single core, Sempron X1 or one of the latest Pentium 4's without hyperthreading) you'll be amazed by its extremely low audio latency and performance.

But for modern hardware....you're better off with Ubuntu Studio Puppy Edition

....unless synth finally releases 'Quickie' based on Quirky/Woof

Hey,

Congrats on this release. I'd been dreaming about this kind of OS for a long time,
but not having ever built a .pup or .sfs myself I never undertook it myself. Thanks
for the effort you've put in.

FFADO driver wise: I have an Echo Audiofire (Fully supported by FFADO),
and I'm willing to put time into tests etc I've installed firewire support many times,
so it shouldn't be too hard.

Let me know! Cheers, -Harry

Downloading now!!!!

I think something is wrong with the image, I can't get it to boot from cd or usb stick. It is saying the kernel is not found.

[mrufino1]

Never mind, the first iso wasn't complete, second download worked (I'm typing right now on it, running from a thumb drive). ffado works too, which is great. I had to go to a terminal and modprobe raw1394 though to get it to work. I forget what to do to make that happen on each boot, can someone remind me? Thanks, other than that, ardour and jack are running nice and smooth, and I installed the calf LV2 plugins and invada ladspa stuff (their lv2's had caused me some issues in the past, but they are great sounding). If I can get my linuxdsp plugins running on this I think this system may stay, it does exactly what I want, and quite quickly too. Is it possible to dual boot puppy with ubuntu? I have never had puppy on a machine coexisting before, if it was a full install it was the only OS, otherwise I've been running it from USB.

Sorry mrufino1, I thought it was going to upload quicker! I shouldn't have made the announcement until a little later!

Glad you find it useful.

[mrufino1]

Ha! I still had the purple screen, but then after using the graphics configuration in the menu and installing the ati driver, it was normal. Hopefully upon reboot (I saved the setup to the usb key) it will still be such. It was pretty cool though seeing my firewire mixer run at 2ms of latency, even though I really never need it that low. Great job on this!
Is it possible to get a newer ardour version running on here? They are at 2.8.11, and there were some relatively important fixes after 2.8.6, although so far it was stable for me.

[l0wt3ch]

Ardour 2.8.11, with VST support, is included in 2.1.

I'm glad there was a fix for the "purple screen" problem.

2.0 is out!

xdelta is a time/bandwidth saver and difference calculator for iso. find it in the sub menus of most puppies. </hint> 352MB indeed.

[l0wt3ch]

I think we're ok here, but thanks aarf.

[aarf]

just to be sure, this http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/ ... PE-1.9.iso is Ubuntu Studio: "Puppy Edition" 2.0?

[l0wt3ch]

I've updated the ftp server.

Hey,

To avoid having to "modprobe raw1394", you should put "raw1394" in the auto-loaded modules of your kernel. On debian (and most distros) that's /etc/modules.conf it may be called /etc/modules or similar though.

Cheers, -Harry

[mrufino1]

I think the file is modprobe.conf, do I just type raw1394 or is there something else I should type too? I didn't recognize a lot in that file when I looked, so I didn't want to change it yet.

Sadly the xorg dies when I try to use Spotify but if I am in Quirky then it is possible to set it up so Spotify just works but sadly me don't remember the details of how. It is a hit and miss each time I test a new updated test version.

I seems to have done no wrong because the UbuntuStudio version of Lupu already have Wine in it so not my choice of pet or how to set it up???

Unless one have to tweak each Wine for the kind of machine one use.

I am on Acer now but Spotify do kill Xorg on my HP/Compaq too. I have tested almost all Lupu versions and all of them crash.

Am I alone having this problem?

Hi all,
unfortunately in my fresh install of Ubuntu Studio PE 2.0, VLC hangs (it opens 3 tabs in the application bar), on an IBM Thinkpad R51e with Xorg_High installed!

Thanks in advance for any help...

PS: How to get rid of numlock on at boot? It´s really annoying on a laptop...

Version 2 will not give sound from my Lexicon alpha USB device, got it to work with a M-audio audiophile 24-96 pci card with no problem? Version 1 worked very well with the lexicon USB?
