Ubuntu Studio 7.10 (Gutsy)
As of the Gutsy release, Ubuntu Studio no longer requires its own repository. This means that all the programs and files you need to install Ubuntu Studio are already available in the official Ubuntu repos! Adding Studio to your existing Ubuntu install is very simple:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt
The previous command will install the complete Ubuntu Studio. If you’re aren’t interested in a certain medium, such as video editing, simply remove ubuntustudio-video from the list.
You’ll have to set the Ubuntu Studio theme and login window artwork manually. This can be easily done with the System > Preferences > Appearance and System > Administration > Login Window dialogs :
Ubuntu Studio 7.04 (Feisty)
The following information is now outdated. Ubuntu Studio no longer requires its own repository. Please use the updated methods above.
If you already have Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) installed you may not be interested in creating a whole new partition to install Ubuntu Studio. The first thing you’ll want to do is add the Ubuntu Studio repository to your sources list with these two commands :
sudo su -c ‘echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list’
wget -q http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
Now that the Ubuntu Studio repository has been added, use Synaptic Package Manager to search for ubuntu studio and download the following packages :
ubuntustudio-audio
ubuntustudio-audio-plugins
ubuntustudio-desktop
ubuntustudio-graphics
ubuntustudio-video
You could also quickly install the Ubuntu Studio packages with a simple apt-get command :
sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video
Don’t worry about the other ubuntustudio packages. All required packages will be installed automatically thanks to the meta-packages above. Once the install is complete you will need to reboot. Ubuntu Studio has now been integrated into your Feisty system.
If you want to use the Ubuntu Studio theme you will need to select it manually from System > Preferences > Themes. If you just want the Ubuntu Studio theme for your Ubuntu desktop, simply download the ubuntustudio-theme package.
One last instruction and then we are done! If you want to get the most speed and performance out of your audio setup, be sure to issue this final command :
sudo su -c ‘echo @audio - rtprio 99 >> /etc/security/limits.conf’
Here we have simply added the line @audio - rtprio 99 to the end of the file limits.conf. This configuration is added by default when installing from the Ubuntu Studio DVD.
