Hardware Blacklist (Greylist)

I see a few references to the 1010 in this thread, but does anyone have experience with the Delta-44 interface? The Linux driver on the M-Audio site is 6 years old, which makes be a bit nervous. My plan is to put the 44 into a new Intel i3 box for some home recording. I don't do any gaming, so the onboard video of the i3 seems cost effective. Please let me know if I have overlooked some fatal flaw in this plan... Thanks, -sid

hi, there's my hardware config motherboard: ECS (elitegroup) A780GM-A 1.0 version bios : SMBIOS version 2.5, DMI version 2.5, 64-bit processes, 32-bit processes cpu : AMD Phenom(tm) 9850 Quad-Core Processor memory : 4 X 1G corsair hdd : 500 G sata I've tried to install several versions ( 2.1 and 3.0 ) and the same result is "It won't boot" the installer can't instal libc6 for example, or root filesystem.... for now I've installed on another partition Debian squeeze/sid with Linux debian-64 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10 22:40:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux and it works ! so, what's the matter? incompatibility ? failure ? thanks for all

chipset: GeForce 8100 The Elitegroup GF8100VM-M3 Mobo is just trouble. Not that it doesent work at all.. this would have saved me the trouble of months of pain in the ass. There must be some Problems connect to the Fact that the Graphicsship is Northbridge (and Southbridge?) all in one. So it interfered with my M-Audio Audiophile 2496. Tried it with plain debian Lenny, Ubuntu Studio, 64studio, Arch and even with windows the Sound was bad and with mysterious troubles. Get it to make good sound without Jack, but with jack just crap. Thought maybe the card was defect. At the native resolution of my TFT 1920x1080@60 i head a flicering screen. Bought a GA-M56S-S3 with nforce 560 chipset and a geforce 9400 GT and it was worth the money.. I think it is a good adwice to keep the fingers from these all-in-one wonders.

Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG is not working

I just assumed it would be difficult, but I've installed the 32-bit version of ST64 on an old Thinkpad, and it works very well. I'm surprised, as the thing only has 256 megs of ram. I've turned the caching up quite a bit, so it's nothing like real-time. However, it has run like a top. Mixing 6 channel projects in Ardour, playing with softsynths, etc. is perfectly workable. Wifi is an issue, but I think that's fairly common. The onboard Intel 82801CA-ICH3 card was supported with no post-install tinkering whatsoever. Kudos!

I believe in the mantra if it ain't broke don't throw it out ... yet... I have "played" with 5 different distros based on what they "claim" they can do and I will attest to the fact that 64studio ( I am using 32bit due to my hardware) out of the box is bar-none the best distro for studio work. I still have some tuning to do for the audio side as for latency and such. I have two systems - one geared more for graphics/video/audio-for-video the other geared for audio/sequencing/software synthesis. Now mind your manners these systems are not the worlds fastest (the price was right) but they work for me and get the job done and compared to what I see the windows people have to run to even get the latency of a non-tuned linux system. I just gave myself a few more months for the techno-dust settles on the new stuff out there .. \ System1: P4 3.4Ghz HT 2Gig/Go DDR1 ram 160gig PATA (file system) 1TB SATA ( two 500gig/go drives in raid-0 using mdadm)-installed after filesystem was installed Mia Midi 24/96 card ( works right out of the box) GeForece 5200 Nvidia (AGP) - had to install drivers separately (upgrading to a 7600 agp) System2: AMD Athalon XP 1600 512 DDR1 ram 20gig PATA (file system) 200gig SATA (audio files go here) FA-101 - works right out of the box with minor configuration with JACK 0.103 ATI 7500 AGP ( will get upgraded as soon as I have parts to move around. ( system two is going to be upgraded to the following system ) AMD 64X2 ( speed unknown at the time ( depends on money)) 200gig PATA (file system) 240gig SATA (raid-0 ) 3 port IEEE-1394 FA-101 (x2) (I have two of these) GeForce 5200 (pull from the old system system two is not going to do 3d and such - ok .. maybe a render engine when not doing music on this system) as you can see neither system is state of the art but it works for me and it is bloody fast for me. I have played with JAD and Ubuntu Studio and had a rough time getting the FA-101 and Jack to work properly. The people at 64Studio did a wonderful job on this distro. I do not hook these systems to the internet so I may have a few outdated packages however here is some advice to those that are reading these forums and wondering if you should make the plunge. 1- Down load the 64studio distro and the Debian etch distro ( I will explain later ) 2- Don't worry about setting 64 studio on a raid ( unless you are thinking about raid-1 for your file system. there are many posts on how to set it up personally filesystem and audio/video files on the same physical drive I don't care for ( personal preference) 3 install the 64studio distro 4 update the repositories with the distro from debian 5 install mdadm 6 set up your raid ( pleanty of sources on the web for that) 7 kick back and enjoy !!! again .. thanks for the great system ...

The only thing I needed to do was to upgrade the NVidia drivers to the latest version. To do this simply;

1) Start in single user mode and log in with root password.
2) apt-get update
3) apt-get install nvidia-glx
4) vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
5) Change the line in xorg.conf Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia" and reboot

This card does not have a Alsa driver yet: waveterminal 192x soundcard made by Egosys ESI Don't buy it before it has a Linux driver. The same manufacturer does have some soundcards, which seem to be working. Make sure you have a possibility to return non-working items to your dealer when making a purchase. If you are considering a soundcard to install to a Linux system, check out this page: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main It will save a lot of grief, not to mention money.

I had to add jumpers to the SATA II drives to get them recognized and work, but this issue was related to the motherboard, not 64 Studio.

Looks ok to me. No obvious red flags. See if the intel graphics works before going out to buy a card. If not, generally the 7900 is a good choice (fast enough not to slow down your system, but still supported natively in 64 Studio 2.1. Let us know your final configuration when you have your system up and running.

Any thoughts on using this as an entry-level 64studio machine? I can't get Jammin to work on my old 750 MHz Duron system. Message says the hard drive can't keep up, but the desktop slows to almost frozen. So... The Price is right on this Dell if I can put 64studio on it.

Woking harware is: C2D 6600 at 2.4GHz on a 680i motherboard Got the Presonus Firebox burning on the first try with Jack and FreeBOB SO I believe my Audio is good Then there is the NVIDIA driver for my 7950 GeForce Vid crd that wont install as per the instructions on their website. I have a desktop stuck in 640x480 on a 46" Samsung HDTV. The TV never has an issue with any video card I throw at it. I have to commend Nividia for at least trying. but I cant tell a Binary from a Hex driver. Some Linux gedit asks me if it is Binary. Well the manual says I dont need to be a Comp Sci major but I am guessing otherwise. Soon I will feel I am insulting my monitor by leaving this co-MACHINE connected to it.

Yes I have my mouse and keyoard on a USB hub and I had to unplug the keyboard from the hub for it to recognise the mouse and then I plugged the keyboard back into the hub. Both are working now. Pat

Try unplugging and replugging the mouse while your system is booted up. Sometimes a usb device just needs to enumerated correctly. Also try another port...

After some research on nvidia's website many complained of the 8000/9000 GPUs not working well with 2D graphics. So I traded the 8600 that would not even load x for a 7950 in another MS pc. With the 7950 after the install I even get a GUI desktop now but the USB mouse NOT working. Maybe after I install the correct nividia driver for my GPU the mouse will work. Then again I am a complete novice with Linux and there may be some other setting I need to. Any help is welcomed. I do know big problems with NIVIDA's 8000/9000 series GPUs and 2D stuff in Linux. Luckily I have a 7950 and it looks promising. Pat

Just got the AMD64 versions working on my laptop. Evidently, the iso does not have the right driver bits for the NVIDIA Quadro, so I got them from the NVIDIA site. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.12.html Since X / Gnome wouldn't start (meaning no GUI or browser), I had to -first copy the binary to my personal website (not sure why) -use wget to bring down the install package -ran the install package Now it seems to work well. Between Blender and Ardour, I won't be getting any sleep tonight. Thanks for your hard work 64studio people. This is really cool.

By Dusty: " Note: MATROX VGA card users---64Studio or Debian does not supply kernel modules for the MATROX 450G dual head on the installation disks. You gan get then from the Debian Driver site but they may not work as in my case.

" Dusty - this site.... http://forum.tuxx-home.at/ is THE place to go if you need support for Matrox dual head graphics under Linux. In fact, it's hosted by the guy who wrote the drivers and I've found him to be enormously helpful. Don't even bother with Matrox themselves. They're utterly useless. A classic case of how indifference and company arrogance have turned a player that was once a world-leading brand into a bunch of also-rans.

Set up 64studio from scratch on a Athlon 64x2 4xxx with 2gig ram, Samsung SATA DL DVD writer 18x, nvidia 7900GT graphics adaptor. Smooth as can be. nVidia worked out of box with the new driver modules - Runs Beryl smoothly without any hitches.

Got myself a very nice deal on the following hardware. Installed 64Studio (64-bit) and everything but my graphics card worked out-of-the-box: OK ASUS A8N-SLI Premium motherboard (NVIDIA nForce4, onboard audio disabled) OK Athlon X2 3800+ processor OK 1.5Gb Ram (DDR 333 - dual channel) OK 1x 160Gb SATA (Western Digital) OK 17" TFT display (AOC) OK Samsung SH-S182M DVD (DL) writer with lightScribe OK M-audio Audiophile 2496 OK Geforce 8500GT PCI-E graphics card (Club3D) after installing latest NVIDIA binaries.

Hi Susan, In 64 Studio, kernel upgrades are handled like any other package, and installed automatically if you do a 'Mark all upgrades' in Synaptic. The only difference is that you have to reboot for the new kernel to be used. There's no particular reason to install a new kernel if the current one is working for you, unless you want to help with testing - for example, checking for regressions. After your band has given the machine a try, let's hear some of your music :-)

Here's my setup, and so far, all is well: AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800 + cpu Gigabyte S-Series Socket AM2 mobo, with firewire, PCI and PCI express and USB 2 Presonus Firepod nVidia PCI Express video card (some el cheapo 3D thing, sorry, I threw the box out, so I don't know what it is exactly) 2 GB Corsair DDR2 PC3200 667 RAM Seagate 100 GB IDE hard drive Seagate 300 GB 3Gb/s SATA hard drive Seagate 750 GB 3Gb/s SATA hard drive 2 SATA DVD/CD drives - one with Writemaster, which I don't know how to use yet A floppy drive Antec Solo case Corsair HX520W modular power supply Thermaltake Silent 939K8 cpu cooler with heatpipes S-Flex SFF21E rear case fan The Firepod works fine, the only thing that I had to do to get it to work was follow the directions at http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/FreeBoB_on_Debian_GNU/Linux - this link was in the freebob README file. Out of that, the only thing I actually had to do was load the raw1394 driver - modprobe raw1394 I included all the specs for the case, power supply, fans, etc., because this machine is whisper quiet. I have the Firepod hooked up to an Allen and Heath mixer. I'm using the testing version of 64 bit 64 Studio, but I'm still using the 2.6.19-1-multimedia-amd64 kernel which came with 1.4, because I really don't know how to do kernel upgrades, and this one works. Now I just need to get my band over here to really give the thing a proper workout!

Motherboard: Intel DP965LT Processor: Core Duo 2.4Ghz Memory: 2Gbyte DDR2 6400 Graphics: Nvidia 7300 running with two monitors Sound Card: Maudio 24/96 PCI Audiofile Disk: Maxstore Diamondmax 21 250G SATA DVD writer: SATA nondescript 64Studio 2 rc1 64bit is running happily. Initially, I had an ATA DVD RW installed and whilst the insallation DVD would boot, the booted kernel could not then read the ATA DVD. I purchase the SATA DVD RW and installation went ok. I like it.

I've got a low end machine from Fry's on their low end amd6 box special. I was using the maudio quattro which only works right under windows. I gave that away and got a Novation Xiosynth. The midi works great, the audio drivers work great, and I have full duplex. I usually run 44100 16 bits, as everything eventually goes to CD. The usb midi and audio drivers work great, and rosegarden treats the Xiosynth's synth as a hardware soundcard synth, and everything works with low latency and full duplex, unlike the quattro, which could only handle halfplex.

hey everyone I have been meaning to do this for some time now. OK my desktop is my 64 bit system consisting of an asus K8V-MX motherboard athalon 300+ ATI 9200LE video card 1 gig of kingston RAM PC2100 IDE drives LG CED-8120B CD-RW M-audio Revolution 7.1 sound card Photon x25 USB sound card and MIDI controller All ran on 1.0.0 right out of the box only needed to re configure xorg for screen resolution but got superior audio performance with it. OK now on my laptop it's a 32 bit system I don't recall All the specs on it but will give what i can. Compaq Presario C551NR is model to look up specs. 1.8 MHZ celeron M 512 MB RAM INTEL 950 graphics Integrated sound (typical AC 97) IDE drive Compaq/HP didn't give alot of info on it. I got the laptop as a gift recently 64studio installed ok however didn't boot until you disabled SATA support in the BIOS. I also use the Photon x25 on this as well and it also performs wonderfully. however it does need a little memory boost to get the single digit latency on Jack with no Xruns on 9 tracks of audio on ardour and a few soft synths running but can get 5.8 msecs of latency with 9 tracks of ardour regularly. Q: What's the difference between a pizza and a musician? A: The pizza can feed a family of four. Soultion: That's why 64studio makes so much sense:D.

My ASUS P5LD2 MoBo doesn't like the second SATA-harddrive for some mystic reason. Can't find a sdb1.

From what I can gather it is an absolute nightmare to get any decent performance out of the Intel HDA sound cards, especially ones built into laptops. Any experiences (good or bad) and if good, how did you achieve it? Also some 64studio users have Mboxes laying about. Has anyone entertained the idea of running one of these off 64studio? Anyone succeed? Cheers

If I do not do this, the system is unable to start. I didn't tried however with the latest 2.0 rc1 ISO). I also installed the visual theme of UbuntuStudio instead of the 64Studio one. Also, I replaced Jack with Jackdmp because after a while, the sound was distorted and the only cure was to close and open again Jack. With Jackdmp, I have only a couple of xruns when I start or stop some audio applications (no problems when they run). I run steadily at 64 samples.
