Hi Hartmut,
nice to know other openSuse users.
Which version are you on? Probably 12.1?
11.3 actually, on a T60 Laptop.
Unfortunately many pro-audio packges are not that easy to find in the
Suse-Repos anymore. So many apps like guitarix and others are best build
from source.
The build-environment and devel-packages provided by the repos is
working quite sufficient whatsoever.
Had no luck with jack2 and pulseaudio on Ubuntu (that is probably due too
my disability to understand how to set it up correctly).
Same here first but the KXStudio-Overlay solved all this automagically ;-)
Falk TX is indeed top-notch. His packages and his own tools(Catia,
Cadence etc) work as it should be:

Hi everyone,
after many years of studio work using the openSuse distro with the
kernel-rt from Jan Engelhard it seems that he no longer continues his
great
work on rt kernels.
This made me somewhat puzzeled too until I tried the kernel desktop for
Suse to find out, that it delivers real good.
I have virtually the same results on the same machine. The only difference
is, that the desktop-kernel is not the same as solid if Jack is set for
very low latency (such as: lower than 5ms). For the reall-world day to day
work with big Ardour-projects, I cannot find any difference regarding xruns.
Being more on the recording engineer side of things and not a Linux expert
(user yes, expert no) I really fret at the thought of patching and
compiling my own kernel package.
I would like to hear your opinions on what distro is solid for audio work
and has a reliable rt kernel.
Also I would appreciate if you could explain the degree of difficulty and
learning curve of the specific distro.
My system:
Intel i7 950
Gigabyte motherboard
6 Gb ram
Rme HDSP 9652 audio interface
Appreciate your answers.
Moshe
P.S. I tried to use Ubuntu on the same machine I use openSuse 11.2 on and
got pretty bad results regarding latency and x runs on jack 2.
Ubuntu works OK for me here but is indeed not as solid and powerful as
Suses desktop-kernel. At the other hand I tend to use it anyway. There are
more xruns but not too many (about 2-3/h under serious load), it is quite
stable and forgiving(not a single case of jackd crashed or frozen) and the
best: it is the most comfortable distro I ever had. Listening to
youtube-videos or using any sound-source imaginable while Ardour is up and
running whithout even the need to think about how this happens is kind of
nice methinks ;-)
