Presonus Firebox on Ubuntu Studio

Hello,


I can run the firebox very well in Ubuntustudio but I have to say, that
it works much better in 64Studio - I have random crashes of freebob
frequently in Ubuntustudio 32bit and not a single xrun even with extreme
load in 64Studio. Last Week I had a 8h-Recordingsession with a band, my
laptop, the firebox and 64Studio and there was a single crash of freebob
while exporting a 30min-Track from a 96KHz-Ardour-Session. All with
settings for 10ms Latency....

I guess, Ubuntustudio 64 would run the same as good as 64Studio but I
have not tested this....

Not recommended - make your user a member of group disk instead...

I do not need to do this - works for me out of the box, since I am in
group disk.

All the same on my laptop.

Qjackctl cannot start with freebob on my laptop either, after starting
jackd in a shellwindow, I can klick start in Qjackctl. It shows "active"
as the status and provides the ports OK in the connections-panel. Works
very much OK for me....
