In August of this year I'm going to build a dedicated linux audio computer. I have been using ubuntu studio on my cheapo dell optiplex to learn linux and to get used to different programs and see which ones I need.

Lubuntu seems to use less cpu than ubuntu studio for the same program. I don't want any other programs on my system part from ardour, jack and a few misc MP3 players. All audio. It says that ubuntu studio is a low latency program, does this mean that Lubuntu isn't low latency? It seems that Lubuntu is running the program easier but I'm nervous to go with it because I fear it may be missing certain components to keep it less needy of cpu power.
What are your thoughts on this.

hey folks,

I always wonder why many programs from these operating systems are not cross platform? I mean, all three are using a linux kernel.

Sometimes I would like to run a gnu/linux program on an android/chromebook device and an android/chromebook program on gnu/linux. There are a few cross platform programs that I can think of like: Firefox, google chrome browser, and Netflix.

I know very little about android's and the chromebook os's inner workings, but I do know that both have many close source apps and proprietary software and drivers.

What else is on android and the chromebook os that makes it different from gnu/linux? And why do certain companies prefer to port programs to android and the chromebook os over gnu/linux?

Booting to CentOS Linux problem. I have an HP desktop PC with an AMD CPU and win8.1 installed on it with UEFI as the boot process. The CentOS7 DVD indicates that I have installed the CentOS successfully. When I boot the PC it does take me to a menu offering CentOS and Win8. Win 8 will boot correctly. However, when I try to boot to CentOS I get a screen that says “Kernel not found”. The boot loading process continues until it ultimately brings up a terminal login screen. When I try to login with my password and usr name it tells me that they are wrong. I suspect the Kernel not found is the real problem but I can't get into the CentOS program to see if GRUB or any of the other programs are missing or defective. So far I have not disabled the UEFI since I didn't think I needed to. Any suggestions?

Hi.

Running Suse 10.1 on an x86_64 machine. Trying to install a program and having some difficulty. The program is codeco 3.3. It's a format conversion program used for converting seismic waveforms such that they can be analysed by different analysis packages.

http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/products/s...3/codeco3.html

My debugging skills aren't up to much and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with the error. The steps involved in the installation of the package a

1. Download, gunzip and untar.

2. make config
> jp@linux:/usr/local/codeco> make config
(cd src; ./conf.csh)
found system Linux
found compiler

...this is ok, but

3. make
>jp@linux:/usr/local/codeco> make
(cd src; make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/codeco/src'
o ../bin/codeco codecomain.f gse_io.f codecoutil.f compdecomp.f sacsub.f sac_io.f mseed_io.f css_io. today.f utmepo.f epoutm.f
make[1]: o: Command not found
make[1]: [codeco] Error 127 (ignored)
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/codeco/src'

The src code itself is written in fortran and I'm using the Intel fortran compiler version 9.0.031.

I'm at a loss as to the meaning of the above error...my knowledge of linux and software installation still not very good!

Thanks

Hi everybody!

I have visited this forum a lot in the last years to learn information about Linux, so above all thank you very much to the linuxquestions.org community for building this valuable resource!

Now my question:

I have a brand new Nvidia GTX750 graphics card. Nouveau does not work correctly with this card (very low resolution and red dots all around the screen appear), so I need to install propietary drivers.

I have coped with this when installing distros in my hard drive, I just install the propietary drivers following the reccomended user guidelines and that's all, but I'm now starting to work with Tails (amnesic Linux distribution) and 'unfortunately' as it's an amnesic system I'll have to install them everytime I boot.

I was wondering if there's a way to install them permanently on my Live CD/USB so I am ready to work as soon as I boot. I have not really any clue on how a LiveUSB is composed, and as far as I have searched on the Internet I have not found any information about this matter.

Sorry for the bad grammatics, I have a pretty bad level of English

TL;DR: How can I permanently install Nvidia propietary drivers on an amnesic Linux Live CD/USB?

Looking for a program that can save my programs and preferences so that when i
do reinstall i don't have to individually configure each program with it's preferences.


much appreciated.

I am using the ubuntu studio Distro and one of the pro music programs is called ardour. When the program is loaded there is no way to get access to the other programs. The dock doesn't function and the ubuntu sign has disappeared. I can't even log off or see my name in the top right hand of the screen. My only option is to quit the program. There aren't any workspaces visible and no matter where I put the mouse clicker nothing appears. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's not just ardour that does this.

Hello Everyone! I'm somewhat new to linux, and getting my feet wet by building my first linux server.

So what i have is an application that moves/sorts files. Another program that catalogs them.

The problem is that each app uses it's own user. So my question is if there is any way that files owned by prog1user can be read by prog2user?

I have tried doing a chmod -R 755 Directory and that has allowed the second program to see the files, but I'm guessing this has certain security risks (although I'm not so worried about the files in this directory).

Anyways I was wondering if there was a proper way to do this? OS is debian wheezy.

Cheers!

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening

As my subject line states I am trying to upgrade the MOBO/CPU/RAM on a system that has Mandrake 9.2 as the OS. Everything is terribly outdated on it, but unfortunately the OS is running a custom program that I did not develop and talking to the developer seems to be an impossible task. I have no working knowledge of any Linux based OS, so I am trying to get pointed in the right direction on possible troubleshooting that may occur. The system is not connected to the internet so it wont be able to automatically update the necessary drivers that I already know. I haven't gone forward with the upgrades as of yet, one because I am waiting on the CPU to arrive and two because my lack of knowledge makes me hesitant. I know that someone is thinking why not just upgrade the OS, the reason behind that is because I am unsure on if the custom software will even run on it. Any help would be appreciated.

tl;dr
Will I be able to just plug and play the new hardware as long I have the correct drivers?
