Low latency kernel

Hi, everyone!
I started this thread hoping that there are people here interested in audio production on Linux, specifically, on Linux Lite. I know there are targeted distros, but I am interested as said above, in a “Linux Lite Studio" flavor.
Thus, the title “Linux Lite Studio”.
Maybe they can help (or get help!).
Since the beginning is a kernel mattter, and then lots of specific applications, I suppose there are many here who can help find solutions and improvements.
From this perspective, a basic requirement is a lowlatency kernel.
Searching in Linux Lite’s kernel list (Lite Tweaks —>Kernel Install), I found only generic kernels.
Since nothing else is specified, the only alternative left, was Synaptic.
On a standard installation, the System Info App, reports “Linux 5.15.0.89-generic”.
So, I figured out I need to find its counter-part, “Linux 5.15.0.89-lowlatency”.
I found the kernel, installed it, and now (after reboot) is loaded.
The System Info App, reports “Linux 5.15.0.89-lowlatency”.
While in theory a “generic” kernel should be usable, in fact, there are specific settings at kernel level that need to be active, such as “threadirqs”.
While this is relative simple to solve, for the “-generic” kernel, there are specific settings that are unavailable in this type of kernel. That makes things go sideways when speaking of latency and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) long chains: DAW setup, many tracks, many plugins.
In order to make JACK work properly, I ndeed to have those kernel options.
Here is a common message issued by JACK:
“Cannot create RT messagebuffer thread: Operation not permitted (1)”.
There are others also.
Although JACK runs, the problem is that I got xruns (frame droppings) with the “-generic” kernel.
Main problem here, is the latency. Since latency is a huge story, I’ll skip the details and say that each and every piece of “something”, where “something” means both hardware and software, has a specific latency. The bad thing is that this is additive so the longer the DSP chain, the greater the lateny hence, the more xruns.
The lower the latency, the better are the results in the audio process (recording, playing, mastering).
The kernel options needed, i.e., are the following:
CONFIG_HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_LATENCYTOP=y
This is possible only with the said type of kernel.
Those settings, are needed to use a latency monitoring tool, called “LatencyTOP”, which is very similar with “Top” and “Htop”, except it is specifically designed for pro-audio use.

Since the problem occures often and I had it many times, after finding a way out of this, I thought it would be useful to share it.

If the Indicator Plugin is missing from your list, you can install it with the following:

I would like to make this a topic that covers most of the basic grub problems and how to repair them

Your GRUB loader might have broken for a couple of reasons:
  • You messed with the boot partition
  • You installed Windows after GNU/Linux
  • Or something else...

Fortunately grub is easy to fix and it's not very complex. If you follow these simple steps it should be fixed in no more than 30 minutes(including USB loading):

First of all boot from a Linux Lite image to live mode.

Then open terminal and type:
Code:
sudo fdisk -l
Now you need to note down two things. First the disk directory "/dev/sd[letter]" and then the Linux partition "/dev/sd[letter][number]"
Example:
/dev/sda - Disk
/dev/sda4 - Partition
Next you need to create a temporary directory
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/lnx
Now mount the partition to that directory:
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/lnx

Now for the final part:
Code:
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/lnx /dev/sda

In case you broke grub by using Daz Windows Loader (im not promoting illegal stuff here) just make sure you check "Preserve boot code" and repatch.

I used part of this thread: link
and if you want to learn more about --root-directory option: link

Let me know if i missed something. Also comment if you have some other tips.

What would you recommend I do to make this happen? Yes, my plan after it is installed, I would then run Microsoft's Visual Studio, because, unlike the two c++ compilers, this software actually works right out of the box.

I've been noticing that people don't seem to be using the WYSIWYG editor's toolbar when creating/opening a new thread, and more often than not, their posts include text in some particular format, i.e. output from a terminal's command. But they do so by copying/pasting the text in plain without using the appropriate tag, which might make difficult for other users to read, more so if it is a long text.

The toolbar serves as a "shortcut" for these; just hit/click the corresponding icon/button to apply the desired tag to use.

For example, if bold text is to be used, click/hit the B icon/button, alternatively, press Ctrl + b which has the same result.

[Image: gqgpHff.png]

Likewise, I or pressing Ctrl + i will make the text italicized, Ctrl + u for underscore or click the U, the next button is for Strikethrough(hotkey is Ctrl + s, but most browsers use the same for Save as).

The next icons/buttons are for text alignment; preformatted text, left, center and right respectively. 

[Image: hOYZk3L.png]


Then we have the menu for fonts; font type(Font Face), Font Size and Change(font)Color, these are drop-down menus, just click in the "arrow head" to expand, and select one of the options to apply. 

[Image: E7DwjoX.png]

The next section can be very helpful, as they allow performing several actions in your posts, you can check what each one does by hovering the mouse over them.

[Image: HL8CI0M.png]

From left to right:
Insert: image, hyperlink, email, ftp link, glow, shadow,  marquee, superscript, subscript, teletype, table, code, quote, unordered list, ordered list, rule, remove formatting and finally toggle view.

So, for example, if you plan to include some output from terminal, hit the insert code icon/button, these [ code ] [ /code ]  will appear, just paste the output between the two, hit preview or post, and your code looks good
Code:
sudo apt update
Instead of just sudo apt update. Emojis are self-explanatory.

Well, I hope this helps and encourages people to use the editor's toolbar or the hotkeys when available in their writings, and by doing so they'll be helping us to helping them; the better their thread/post reads, the better our understanding of the situation their post/thread is about. Smile]]>

Quote:iNet Wireless Daemon (iwd) project aims to provide a comprehensive Wi-Fi connectivity solution for Linux based devices. The core goal of the project is to optimize resource utilization: storage, runtime memory and link-time costs. This is accomplished by not depending on any external libraries and utilizes features provided by the Linux Kernel to the maximum extent possible. The result is a self-contained environment that only depends on the Linux Kernel and the runtime C library.

I installed it and must say it's working really great; my Wi-Fi seems to be more stable, keeping a constant speed.  To install just launch a terminal and run

I've seen many post from people asking how to reduce/improve startup time, more often than not, to give any kind of advice, they're asked to provide the output of
Code:
systemd-analyze
and according to that, troubleshoot and narrow down the possible solutions, i.e. disable some service. So, I wrote a simple script which runs that command on startup and display the output in the desktop in a gtk box using zenity.
Code:
#!/bin/bash

#Creator: Moltke
#Date: August 2020

#Summary
#Runs systemd-analyze at startup and displays a gtk message box using zenity with the output of the command
#place this script at «/usr/local/bin», make it executable and add it to your startup session, please refer to your
#desktop environment or windows manager's documentation to know how to do that, i.e in XFCE4 go to:
#startup & session, click on «startup applications» tab, next click the «add» button, browse to the script's
#location, select it and click on «close». Now on every boot you should see the message box indicating
#systemd-analyze command output in the center of your desktop.

#These variables define «width» and «height» values of the zenity gtk box, uncomment as per your convenience
#and/or add your own values if none of these work for you.

#Width: The width of the gtk box, default is 400
#width="100"
#width="200"
#width="300"
width="400"
#width="500"

#Height: The height of the gtk box, default is 160
#height="100"
#height="150"
height="160"
#height="200"
#height="250"
#height="300"
#height="350"
#height="400"

#The code
#here runs the code; once the desktop's started the script waits 5s before running
sleep 5 &
#after 5s has passed, systemd-analyze is run and its output is piped/redirected to zenity command which
#results in a gtk message box, showing how much time took your system to start displayed in the center of your screen.
#click «ok» to close.
systemd-analyze |zenity --text-info \
--title=" " \                 #set the title to whatever you want; Startup Time, Boot Time, etc, etc ...
--width="$width" \
--height="$height"

Copy/paste to a file and name it whatever you want, i.e. start_up_time.sh, make it executable
Code:
chmod +x start_up_time.sh
and move/copy it to /usr/local/bin.
Code:
sudo cp start_up_time.sh /usr/local/bin
  Go to: startup & session, select startup applications tab, next click the add button, browse to the script's location, select it and click on close. Now on every boot you should see the message box indicating systemd-analyze's command output in the center of your desktop. Like this:

I've seen many post from people asking how to reduce/improve startup time, more often than not, to give any kind of advice, they're asked to provide the output of
Code:
systemd-analyze
and according to that, troubleshoot and narrow down the possible solutions, i.e. disable some service. So, I wrote a simple script which runs that command on startup and display the output in the desktop in a gtk box using zenity.
Code:
#!/bin/bash

#Creator: Moltke
#Date: August 2020

#Summary
#Runs systemd-analyze at startup and displays a gtk message box using zenity with the output of the command
#place this script at «/usr/local/bin», make it executable and add it to your startup session, please refer to your
#desktop environment or windows manager's documentation to know how to do that, i.e in XFCE4 go to:
#startup & session, click on «startup applications» tab, next click the «add» button, browse to the script's
#location, select it and click on «close». Now on every boot you should see the message box indicating
#systemd-analyze command output in the center of your desktop.

#These variables define «width» and «height» values of the zenity gtk box, uncomment as per your convenience
#and/or add your own values if none of these work for you.

#Width: The width of the gtk box, default is 400
#width="100"
#width="200"
#width="300"
width="400"
#width="500"

#Height: The height of the gtk box, default is 160
#height="100"
#height="150"
height="160"
#height="200"
#height="250"
#height="300"
#height="350"
#height="400"

#The code
#here runs the code; once the desktop's started the script waits 5s before running
sleep 5 &
#after 5s has passed, systemd-analyze is run and its output is piped/redirected to zenity command which
#results in a gtk message box, showing how much time took your system to start displayed in the center of your screen.
#click «ok» to close.
systemd-analyze |zenity --text-info \
--title=" " \                 #set the title to whatever you want; Startup Time, Boot Time, etc, etc ...
--width="$width" \
--height="$height"

Copy/paste to a file and name it whatever you want, i.e. start_up_time.sh, make it executable
Code:
chmod +x start_up_time.sh
and move/copy it to /usr/local/bin.
Code:
sudo cp start_up_time.sh /usr/local/bin
  Go to: startup & session, select startup applications tab, next click the add button, browse to the script's location, select it and click on close. Now on every boot you should see the message box indicating systemd-analyze's command output in the center of your desktop. Like this:
