Thanks, Arnold, for the heads-up on this particular kernel. I found it to hang on two occasions (and I haven't had it for that long either). I'm not too familiar with PPAs... (am reading up right now). I assume you meant that I should follow the instructions on this page: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/ppa and then choose the right realtime kernel package from synaptic, or command line. Am I correct? Jörn, my apologies, I realised that I haven't answered all your questions - my frames/period is 256, periods/buffer is 2, sample rate is 44100, giving me a latency of 11.6 sec. While typing this, I noticed a parameter 'Timeout', which is currently 500 msec. The only "error" message says something about timeout and linuxsampler - so I was wondering whether I can change this parameter to a 'safer' level. What does this 'timeout' parameter mean? The qjackctl popup says "Set client timeout in milliseconds", but I didn't quite follow. What happens if this parameter is too high, or too low? Also, I've noticed that the realtime kernel + Icewm option *does* reduce the crash frequency by a huge margin, something which I did not make clear in my last mail. However, the realtime kernel hung twice on one occasion (before a live perfomance), forcing me to switch to the generic kernel, and the crash happened during the performance (does not help increase my fanbase.. :(). On the whole, I cannot confidently rely on the linux setup until there is some failsafe in place, and I'm convinced that it is very, very unlikely for a crash to happen during a live performance. Looking forward to suggestions/pointers/questions. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Guru Arnold Krille wrote: > On Monday 19 October 2009 13:10:15 Guru Prasad B.
