[ubuntu-studio-users] ubuntu-studio-users Digest, Vol 197, Issue 1

Fri Apr 12 10:27:43 UTC 2024

Dear Community,

Which hardware is compatible with the new release?

Are there any specific laptop?

I am thinking about graphics compatibility as most critical issue.

And I am also interested in low-latency-kernel issues.

Thanks!

>     Known Issues
>
>   * Ubuntu Studio’s classic PulseAudio-JACK configuration cannot be used
>     on Ubuntu Desktop (GNOME) due to a known issue with the
>     ubuntu-desktop metapackage. (LP: #2033440
>     <https://launchpad.net/bugs/2033440>)
>   * We now discourage the use of the aforementioned classic
>     PulseAudio-JACK configuration as PulseAudio is becoming deprecated
>     with time in favor of PipeWire. PipeWire’s JACK configuration can be
>     disabled to use JACK2 via QJackCTL for advanced users.
>   * Due to the Ubuntu repositories being in-flux following the time_t
>     transition and xz-utils security issue resolution, some items in the
>     repository are uninstallable or causing other packaging conflicts.
>     The Ubuntu Release Team is working around the clock to help resolve
>     these issues, so patience is required.

>     Frequently Asked Questions
>
> *Q:*Does Ubuntu Studio contain snaps?
> *A:*Yes. Mozilla’s distribution agreement with Canonical changed, and
> Ubuntu was forced to no longer distribute Firefox in a native .deb
> package. We have found that, after numerous improvements, Firefox now
> performs just as well as the native .deb package did.
>
> Thunderbird has become a snap this cycle in order for the maintainers to
> get security patches delivered faster.
>
> Additionally, Freeshow is an Electron-based application. Electron-based
> applications cannot be packaged in the Ubuntu repositories in that they
> cannot be packaged in a traditional Debian source package. While such
> apps do have a build system to create a .deb binary package, it
> circumvents the source package build system in Launchpad, which is
> required when packaging for Ubuntu. However, Electron apps also have a
> facility for creating snaps, which can be uploaded and included.
> Therefore, for Freeshow to be included in Ubuntu Studio, it had to be
> packaged as a snap.
>
> *Q:*If I install this Beta release, will I have to reinstall when the
> final release comes out?
> *A:*No. If you keep it updated, your installation will automatically
> become the final release. However, if Audacity returns to the Ubuntu
> repositories before final release, then you might end-up with a
> double-installation of Audacity. Removal instructions of one or the
> other will be made available in a future post.
>
> *Q*: Will you make an ISO with {my favorite desktop environment}?
> *A:*To do so would require creating an entirely new flavor of Ubuntu,
> which would require going through the Official Ubuntu Flavor application
> process. Since we’re completely volunteer-run, we don’t have the time or
> resources to do this. Instead, we recommend you download theofficial
> flavor for the desktop environment of your choice
> <https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours>and useUbuntu Studio Installer
> <https://ubuntustudio.org/ubuntu-studio-installer>to get Ubuntu Studio –
> which does *not* convert that flavor to Ubuntu Studio but adds its
> benefits.
>
> *Q:*What if I don’t want all these packages installed on my machine?
> *A:*Simply use the*Ubuntu Studio Installer*to remove the features of
> Ubuntu Studio you don’t want or need!
