Comment 2 for bug 793798

Great work. Very exciting! I'm posting this using live/failsafe puredyne-1010-gazpacho-DVD-i386-alpha4.iso

This sums up my whole experience:

1. Would only boot failsafe
2. Booted failsafe and saw that qjackctl worked at 2.9ms with xruns every 30 sec or so (not bad for Live??)
3. Installed on HDD partition (with "download updates..." and "mp3" boxes checked) to see if performance improved. Unfortunately, installer crashed near the end at "ready when you are."
4. Booted from new broken partition using Super GRUB2 and attempted RT audio...many XRUNS as if Audio group permissions had not been properly set up. Sure enough, I still had the "lintian" username that is the Live default, and not my own username...couldn't become root user, so no further updates possible. I blame the installer crash--bad install.
5. Booted again to failsafe on live DVD and installed Ardour 2.8.11 from Synaptic Package Manager
6. Running qjackctl at 2.9ms, Ardour defaulted to 1.5ms as it did in Puredyne 9.11 <-----SAME BEHAVIOR DESCRIBED ABOVE!!!!!!!!!

Other unrelated things:
In 9.11, Qsynth/Fluidsynth worked nicely with Rosegarden (also as FluidsynthDSSI within Rosegarden), and in 10.10 Alpha4, all I hear is distorted white noise on any note played. Puredyne needs to be able to do Soundfonts like it used to!! Finally, I think Ingen is one of the most incredible programs in the works out there, and if it's not included with Puredyne I will probably try it from FalkTX's PPA.

Otherwise, this is GREAT, GREAT work. It's definitely going in the right direction: simple improvement, and not overbloat.

Do you know if any of the other ISO files are more stable for HDD install than DVD-i386-alpha4.iso??
