high resolution timing source

Which is the reply you don't understand?
Just install the low latency kernel.

thnx cesare BUT please describe in simple' do this then do that ' detail and I will do it !!! best wishes richard

ie what buttons etc do i press to get this installed and working ......................... tnx r

Fire up your Synaptics Package Manager (System->Administration->Synaptics Package Manager)
Search for lowlatency
Select the kernel version that best suits your need (I have no idea, you gave us no clue)
Click apply to install
After installation restart and select the low latency kernel from the boot menu

Cesare ,
                thnx again ....... as for kernel choice .... I am wanting to use applications such as Rosegarden and similar midi /audio sequencers + effects and soft synths. My cpu is AMD64 x2 4400+ 2200mhz with 2 g of 3200 400 ram ......... is this the kind of info that would decide the best kernel for my needs ??? richard

Not really, we need to know what version of Ubuntu you are currently running.
If you want to use your PC mainly for music production, actually you could try ubuntu studio:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio

but thats a complete reinstall.

cesare

               ...that is what i am using > ubuntu studio v.7.04 > so what kernel ??? ( by the way I am completely new to Linux being only schooled in the basics of windows XP and now Vista ....I did mess with ubuntu several years ago but i didn't persevere ) ANYWAY what is a kernel !!!???

                  thnx again richard ( by the way any hints at setting up rosegarden to get any sound out of it ?? )

Can you give this command in a terminal:

uname -a

hi ....... do u mean can i find the terminal window and type that in ? if so i am sure i can ie system admin > terminal .... but why ? richard

ok cesare ......... got it > I no longer get the message so the low latency installs must have worked !!!! great thanks ............ any ideas why i am not getting any sound out of rosegarden ????

Have you hooked it up to a midi player?
Otherwise you need to use something like Jackd (which is included in ubuntu studio).

cesare > how do u 'use ' Jackd ?? richard

cesare , am i to enter the script u gave into terminal ........ if so i just cut and paste it into terminal and it didn't recognise the script ? richard > To: <email address hidden>> From: <email address hidden>> Subject: Re: [Question #10928]: high resolution timing source> Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2007 21:19:42 +0000> > Your question #10928 on rosegarden in ubuntu changed:> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rosegarden/+question/10928> > Status: Open => Answered> > Cesare Tirabassi proposed the following answer:> This is the documentation included with the package which you should> read:> > /usr/share/doc/jackd/FAQ.gz> /usr/share/doc/jackd/README> /usr/share/doc/jackd/README.Debian> /usr/share/doc/jackd/examples/asound.rc> /usr/share/doc/jackd/user-howto.gz> > these are the man pages:> > jack_bufsize> jack_connect> jack_disconnect> jack_freewheel> jack_impulse_grabber> jack_load> jack_lsp> jack_metro> jack_monitor_client> jack_showtime> jack_simple_client> jack_transport> jack_unload> jackd> jackrec> jackstart> > and this is the upstream homepage:> > http://jackaudio.org/> > -- > If this answers your question, please go to the following page to let us> know that it is solved:> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rosegarden/+question/10928/+confirm?answer_id=12> > If you still need help, you can reply to this email or go to the> following page to enter your feedback:> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rosegarden/+question/10928> > You received this question notification because you are a direct> subscriber of the question.
