Hi all, I received the following from Alessio regarding the Low latency kernel. Please test and write to the kernel team so we can have this in lucid and make ubuntu studio better!<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-----------------------------</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">I would like to remind you how large the advantages are to have a<br>-lowlatency kernel flavour.<br>
<br>Providing a lowlatency kernel allows us to have a kernel that is _very_ stable (like -generic because it is the same code without modifications and<br>only with a different configuration) but with very good performance<br>
out of the box.<br>Moreover, to have it in the form of a kernel flavour means that it keeps up <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(80, 0, 80); ">to date with the -generic kernel without our intervention.</span><br>
In this way we can avoid recomending kernel-rt to most of our users thus avoid<br>it's bugs and its continual trailing version of the generic kernel.<div class="im" style="color: rgb(80, 0, 80); "><br><br>What you can do for help?<br>
<br>1) Test the kernel ( <a href="http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~abogani/">http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~abogani/</a> ) and write an email to <a href="mailto:kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(87, 151, 176); ">kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br>
</div>with your comments (I hope that they are enthusiastic) (the packages will work on both karmic and lucid, however closed source graphics drivers will not be available)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">2) Write to email to the above requesting this kernel flavour<br>
3) Write directly to Tim Gardner endorsing it<div class="im" style="color: rgb(80, 0, 80); "><br><br>In short we could also use it as default kernel!<br><br>P.s.<br></div>If you need of some background:<div class="im" style="color: rgb(80, 0, 80); ">
