I prefer to do partitioning before installing
then choose manual install option ('do something else')
because automatic installs can create a different partition layout

there is not usually much difference either way to how partitions are created

I have xfce4-taskmnager that looks similar

but use conky to display CPU information and also temperatures/fan speed on desktop

This is bad news for me; I've just installed Ubuntu Studio last weekend and was about to add the KX repos (and amongst other things I wanted to use Cadence instead of Ubuntu Studio Controls). Do you remember where you read that? Do you have a link maybe? Erich Eickmeyer from Ubuntu Studio has said ...

MXL BCD-1 Polar pattern:Cardioid Sensitivity: -54 dB re 1 V/Pa Impedance: 600 ohms Zoom U22 Input gain: 0 – 43 dB Input impedance: 2.6 k Ω (MIC) 484 k Ω (Hi-Z) Cardioid is more forgiving than a super-cardioid, but still have to keep close and on-axis with this mic -30dB level seems low, but the zoom...

can add any amount of Pulseaudio sink/source connections with 2 basic commands pactl load-module module-jack-sink pactl load-module module-jack-source use command more than once and can have multiple sinks/sources helped a friend on arch-based distro recently to get rid of duplicate sinks/sources wi...

KX Studio developer is on a break until later in the year and there does not appear to have been any updates for KX released since Ubuntu 19.04 came out so for KX packages may be better sticking with 18.04 LTS Ubuntu Studio 19.04 has a new package 'Ubuntu Studio Controls' for JACK appears to be very...

icecast for audio streaming (shoutcast if ok with closed-source and want extra features like auto-dj background player when not on air) you can find some free stream hosting, but most have limitations that may make it difficult to integrate to a website: limited time/bandwidth or inserting their own...

About speaker-test . Calling it without arguments causes my builtin, onboard (it's a Thinkpad laptop) soundcard to kick in. upon which everything works. To actually force ALSA to use USB interface, I have used: speaker-test -D plughw:USB you probably don't need to use 'plughw:' (but it should still...

Ubuntu Studio was nearly dropped as an official Ubuntu flavour after 18.04. is good to see the project rejuvenated and innovating I'm mostly curious about Ubuntu Studio Controls (the reason for this thread, which somehow escaped me before). It looks like a nice user-friendly alternative to Cadence o...

getting JACK to start ok can be tricky first time around but it is usually a one-time thing to find the right settings for your hardware many JACK packages will start JACK when launched but can't cope with Pulseaudio sharing audio devices so it is better to use a JACK manager application before othe...

The Q7 is what most people go for, and it works ok for some voices but the Q8 is a better option Samson Q8 - Supercardioid (2.5 mV/Pa; 50 - 16,000 Hz) SM58 - Cardioid (1.85 mV/Pa; 50 - 15,000 Hz) Shure mics do not push enough millivolts if an audio interface has only about 50dB gain in the preamps T...

Any idea what might be an affordable non-phantom power mic like the Shure SM58? Samson Q7 is very like the SM58 There is also a Q8 (allegedly a copy of Shure Beta 58 but never had the latter to compare) bit more than the Q7 but prefer the sound of it the Samson mics have neodymium elements and are ...

I looked into aj-snapshot before posting this thread. aj-snapshot doesn't do what I want. qjackctl comes with a GUI which I don't want to see at all. I want a daemon that can be run on a headless server. what do you require that is lacking from aj-snapshot? aj-snapshot has a -d or --daemon option a...

No keyboard shortcuts in Patchage

In the Playback tab of the system "sound setting" display I have two volume control sliders 1) identified by a speaker icon and the words "system audio" 2) identified by a firefox icon and the words "audioIPCserver : audiostream [i]on[i] and three choices in a box a) builti...
