2. With Nautilus as the file manager set up by default to not handle the Desktop a small and light utility called Nitrogen is now utilized for handling that task Nitrogen is very light and easy to use and supports utilizing different wallpapers on dual head display setups An important caveat of using Nitrogen is that it doesn t support displaying the contents of the home USER Desktop on the Desktop itself This means that anything that would normally be visible on the Desktop can only be seen in the Desktop folder of the user s home folder This also means that files launchers etc cannot be dragged and dropped on the Desktop either Of course as usual launchers are available in the Menu on the LXPanel and on the Wbar Dock As an example if a user wanted to copy a registration key for a commercial application like Harrison Mixbus to the Desktop simply copy it to the Desktop folder in your user s home folder Changing the Keyboard Layout for Other Languages To set the keyboard for a different language during a LiveDVD session open a Terminal and use the setxkbmap command with the accompanying 2 letter code for your language The screenshot below shows the command for French setxkbmap Fr Mi tester av5mobile File Edit Tabs Help tester avSmob1le setxkbmap fri To permanently change the keyboard setting in an AV Linux install use the Keyboard setting utilities Found in the System Customization tab
3. In the example below the system has a default onboard Intel HDA which has been selected in the Interface dropdown Generally speaking if your Audio interface shows up in the dropdown list it is supported by ALSA and therefore by JACK as well To use a firewire interface you will need to select Firewire instead of alsa in the Driver dropdown It is very important to make sure that Realtime is checked off under Parameters Another number to look at during setup is the Frames Period figure IF you are experiencing Xruns or audio dropouts then you will need to increase this number conversely if you want to decrease the Latency figure then decrease the Frames Period until Xruns appear IF you are recording directly to a Recording Track then low latency numbers are really not terribly necessary if you are recording through a plugin or other audio application en route to the Recording Track then lower latencies are required To use JACK with Synthesizer and MIDI Plugins it is recommended to increase the Timeout msec value to 2000 miliiseconds or more for better stability Setup JACK Audio Connection Kit settings Options Display Misc Preset Name IntelHDA Delete Serer Server Path fusr binjjackd 7 Name default Driver alsa Parameters wf Realtime Priority default Interface default No Memory Lock Frames Period 256 Dither None Soft Mode i EN i erer 2 Input Device defau
4. Some Things to Keep in Mind When Considering Linux as an OS Platform Linux blurs the line somewhat between the end user and the developer and therefore doesn t shy away From featuring it s basic operational face known as the Console or Terminal Certainly efforts over the past several years have molded Desktop Linux into as user friendly a platform as any but to Fully enjoy all Linux has to offer it is somewhat incumbent on the user to have at least a casual interest in what happens on both sides of the computer screen Although Linux at it s core is a curious symbiotic mixture of Community and Corporate interests For the most part the Linux Multimedia applications within AV Linux are developed by volunteer developers from all over the world Many of these generous and talented people are doing their work out of the purest motive the love of doing it Because the motivation is not primarily Financial end users sometimes have a problem differentiating their personal expectations from those that would be usual when looking at things from a paying customer perspective FLOSS developers are giving the end user something much greater than software they are sharing their most vital asset time It is very easy to take this fact For granted and certainly someone who is showing such generosity should be equally paid back with patience and respect Free doesn t indicate an absence of financial support many projects are in dire need of Financial sup
