Ubuntu Studio & Qsampler

[holotone at gmail.com]

So I bit the bullet this weekend and chose Ubuntu Studio for my Gutsy
upgrade and... Wow! Seriously well done..! I can finally feel confident
using Linux as my primary music production OS..!

One question, one gripe, and one solution:

Question: How do I enable realtime in jack? From my understanding, Ubuntu
Studio includes the realtime kernel, but whenever I check the realtime box
in Jack, it won't start - Any ideas?

Gripe: I looooove the theme with a few exceptions, the largest of which is
being able to see the fine lines between devices and apps in qjackctl's
connections panel. Any suggestions for a fix?

Solution: I couldn't for the life of me get Qsampler to work - Kept saying
every time I started it that "Server could not be started". A bit of
research turned up that linuxsampler, the sampler that Qsampler is a GUI
front end for, is not included w/ Ubuntu* due to licensing issues. Some more
digging around turned up these Ubuntu debs for linuxsampler:
http://ubuntu2.cica.es/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/linuxsampler/

One quick double click and qsampler is now working flawlessly! Perhaps there
should be a note about this somewhere? It took me aages to figure out.

Thanks again for putting together a great distro!
