Re: Linux/Musix/Debian on a UMPC

Please add XFCE and LXDE as lighter desktop environments, too. (Although I do like OpenBox.) KDE4 can be a hefty load to have on a music distro.

Thanks for your kind words, Grazie Nicola.

Musix v3 is based comes with KDE 4, we're tweaking it to match our particular desktop. But we don't forget other lighter desktop enviroments as in previous versions, so we have at least IceWM and Openbox (I myself am working on it because it is perfect for save resources for live playing on the UMPC).

Ciao.

    Hi Carlos, really great news about musix, thank you!
    I use Ubuntu Studio 10.04 and i'd like to move to Musix in the
    future...(to reach my free/libre voices inside)

    Many thanks to Musix community for their efforts,
    Will Musix 3 come out with Kde still or you're considering another DE ?
    Free as in freedom

        Hi, Ronald!

            hi

            Our samsung Q1 ultra works well and stable since 2.1... not
            much HW around these days so we moved on to Indamixx2 which
            has ported nicely with RC3 thanks to Gabriel Beddingfield.

            Indamixx2 on sale for $549.00
            http://www.indamixx.com/shop-130.html


        I wasn't up to date with Indamixx news and... what a surprise
        and nice cool product that Transmission 5!
        Is it an iPad/Galaxy tab alike tablet? Which one is it?
        Really appealing. I take mental note of that for anyone I can
        give a piece of advice.

        Is just that being in the Musix team, well, I would like to make
        this work :). Anyway, this Viliv just ended up in my hands, and
        now that I have it for testing I would like to make something
        useful of it for portable music.

            We do have customers who have hacked on their own mods of
            transmission 2.1 on the samsung q1 ultra and have come up
            with some nice results.

            I have the viliv products here for years as they gave me one
            of each to test on for Indamixx 2 back in 2009 but I passed
            until something had more CPU and better quality build.  The
            Viliv had the Z Atom chip and the build waas really
            flimsy... certainly not DJ duty or ready for a road gig :)


        I didn't notice that this Viliv had a less CPU than Samsung, but
        I think is robust, at least is quite heavy. Besides this
        hardware problems, I've been able to use it as a looper, multiFX
        and recording tool at the same time. Trying to be like a
        one-man-band doing drums with Hydrogen or with my hands, bass
        with FX or the guitar itself, jamming along and things like that.
            If I remember correctly Free had to hack Xorg and do some
            cool tweaks to get the touch running correctly and not
            wonky.  It seems like wonky comes up a lot in touch on the
            tablets but we are reporting good results on Indamixx2
            albeit beta still and RC3 which I think is totally
            acceptable for a lil audio droid that has a lot of features
            for music production.

Would love any contact or extended information that can guide me
        just a little. Been trying many things and also googling for
        more but no luck.

            Thank you

            Ronald Stewart
            Indamixx


        Thanks to you, Ronald, and good luck with the new Indamixx
        adventure.

                               I've been doing some testing with Musix 3
                        beta (based on Debian
                               Squeeze)


                           Where did you get Musix 3 Beta? I can't find
                        anything higher than
                           2.1 at their site.

                        We're working on it right now, there some
                        testing versions here:
                        http://wiki.musix.es/index.
                        php?title=Categor%C3%ADa:
                        Versiones_de_prueba_de_Musix
                        <http://wiki.musix.es/index.php?title=Categor%C3%ADa:Versiones_de_prueba_de_Musix>

                        That wiki page is new for people who wants to
                        colaborate that is not in the
                        collaborator/developer's list. There wasn't such
                        a list before. Sorry but no english version yet,
                        but soon I hope.

                        We've been developing version 3 for some time
                        now, and the reports have been quite favorable,
                        but we'd like to work on it some more. I myself
                        hope to include some basic apps I've developed,
                        and take the opportunity to release them on
                        Github or similar. But as always... time is what
                        is needed :).

                        Regards.

                    Ah, thanks for the news and the link. I like Musix,
                    even though the last one that worked on my musicbox
                    was a beta of Musix 2. The production version of 2
                    somehow lost the ability to work with the boring old
                    Intel video hardware that the beta knew how to work
                    with.

                    Anyway, I look forward to testing Musix 3!
