Ubuntu Studio. A Multimedia editing derivative of Ubuntu, currently being planned. This page is the starting point for these plans.

Ubuntu Studio is aimed at the linux audio, video and graphic enthusiast as well as professional. Someone who is already familiar with the Ubuntu-Gnome environment.

Ultimate Goal

To build a solid multimedia editing distro based on Ubuntu-Gnome by Feisty Fawn.

Get Involved

NOTICE!

  • Our new main URL is: http://ubuntustudio.org This will eventually become the main source for info on Ubuntu Studio

  • Please try to sign your comments. Though, with the addition of concrete info, it isnt needed.

Status

The plan at the moment is:

  • Multiple metapackages. ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-live, ubuntustudio-desktop, ubuntustudio-desktop-settings, and ubuntustudio-artwork will be the base. Then on top that can be added: ubuntustudio-audio, ubuntustudio-video and ubuntustudio-graphics, further divided if necessary. Perhaps divide each one by universe+main and multiverse, and that would be sufficient.
  • Use only packages in official Ubuntu repositories
  • Use the best kernel Feisty Fawn provides.
  • Use Gnome

Input has come from LaserJock on the best approach to this process.

Test Disks & New Repo

We now have a TESTING repo up with our metas based on Edgy. We will soon have our metas in the Feisty repos. You MUST open up your Universe and Multiverse repos.

Heres the lines for your sources.list:BR deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio edgy main BR deb-src http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio edgy main

The packages are: ubuntustudio-audio, ubuntustudio-plugins, ubuntustudio-video and ubuntustudio-graphics.

These packages are just metas. The actual packages for the apps come right from Ubuntu repos.

I will make feedback on the wiki with photos and translate some sound-engineers comments about how it works; tests will be made in parallel with a pro-tools solution to compare.

Project Goals

UbuntuStudio/ProjectGoals is the pace to go to see what we need help with.

Art & Themes

UbuntuStudio/ArtProposal - Guide and info on the "look and feel" for Ubuntu Studio.

Ubuntu Studio Metapackages Breakdown

UbuntuStudio/MetapackagesBreakdown - A page for the structure of the metapackages and disks.

Latest ALSA driver install

Some pages are beeing writen at the moment to help install some hardware, like soundcards, etc... You will more and more useful links here :

As said above we are currently on #ubuntustudio on Freenode if you want help with THIS ALSA FAQ.

Shouldn't that be posted in the community docs section, with the rest of the sound help documentation? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound

Current Questions

Comments

- I will put a quotation of one of my sound engineer friend : "no matter what it looks, if you can work a day on, if it is fonctionnal, and if it sounds great". Do you think it is possible with Ubuntu (or Ubuntu Studio)? - ttoineBR

- I was wondering whether your efforts were tied in with the Automatix project who are planning Automatix Graphics Design + Automatix Advanced A/V ?- have you considered the download route as opposed to CD/DVD install? I was also wondering what the main obstacle to offering a KDE version is ? are their particular packages that don't work with KDE?BR

  • -- We are in no way tied in with Automatix or have plans to use it. We only use packages from the Ubuntu repos. Gnome was picked because its what we know works. The metas are structured in such a way that they can be used in any dirivitave. At this time its untested though. -Cory

- One of the audio/video based live CD distributions, Dynebolic (I think), has openmosix built into the kernel. I haven't been able to try this out, but it is something I think would be very useful in mubuntu. For instance that would mean that I could install the mubuntu kernel package on the machine running mainstream Ubuntu upstairs in the living room and use it as a mubuntu cluster node without compromising its value as an entertainment centre etc. RobertPersson2BR

  • -- OpenMosix does not seem suitable for Linux 2.6 and therefore can't be used in Ubuntu Studio. - ["DanielTChen"]
