Hi Len, I just successfully installed an Artful 1704 VirtualBox VM this afternoon, and installed the daily build of ubuntustudio-controls (https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/autobuild/+build/12643119) to test out the graphical bits.
It is all looking great! Some comments: 1. In the "help", I am not sure of the "if requested" wording for the realtime setting. 2. To test out what might be meant by that, I thought I would fiddle with the realtime setting. But it is no longer there! us-controls tells me that RealTime is enabled. If I fire up QJackCtl, and untick RT there, us-controls does not update its status (with any combination of opening and closing QJackCtl & us-controls). I see from the README that I probably should have logged out. Should the help dialogue mention this? Note: all of this is done without Jack actually started (as I was too lazy to choose higher later latency settings in the VM & to test a reboot). 3. As you can tell, after all this time I am still a bit of a Linux Audio noob. Which brings me to documentation. I assume the README & ROADMAP files need updating. You should probably add yourself to the AUTHORS too! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioControls has needed an update for a long time. There used to be a manpage (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man1/ubuntustudio-controls.1.html) which references https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/SettingsApp which is wildly out of date. I suppose the manpage is only really needed if users might try and run the scripts from the terminal. The us-controls launchpad page has a link to a wiki which doesn't exist (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/UbuntuStudioControls). There is a useful links section at the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/ControlsRedesign which probably contains some documentation to assist with producing a new wiki page. Are there any others? Next I will upgrade the real hardware machine in the basement, and give it a proper spin. I hope others out there reading this might be encouraged to give it a spin. Comments gratefully received. Well done Len! Cheers, Ross
