HowTo: BITWIG on Fedora 20

[Renich]

It is easy to install on Fedora!

I promise I will repack on an RPM. It seems it's easy to script.

Anyway; here goes:

Code: Select all

# UPDATE: install dependencies
su -c 'yum -y install xcb-util-wm-0.3.9-3.fc20.x86_64'

# Create a working dir
mkdir bitwig

# Get bitwig
wget -c http://packs.bitwig.com/downloads/bitwig-studio-1.0.2.deb

# Unpack it
dpkg -x bitwig-studio-1.0.2.deb .

# Copy everything to its rightful place
su -c 'rsync -auv ./opt ./usr /'

# Clean up the mess
cd ..
rm -fr bitwig

# Start it (you can also start it by typing: <super> + bitwig)
bitwig-studio

Thank you!

Strange thing; had to install: libxcb-icccm.so.4 with:

Code: Select all

su -c 'yum -y install libxcb-icccm.so.4

Which installs: xcb-util-wm-0.3.9-3.fc20.i686 (32bit)

But it still didn't work. Had to install the 64bit version with:

Code: Select all

su -c 'yum -y install xcb-util-wm-0.3.9-3.fc20.x86_64'

Hi Guys,

just wanna mention to install kernel-tools, it gives you access to set the cpu frequency, to achieve lower latency.

Pianoteq did cause my dsp load to sky-rock before i did istall the kernel-tools package..... but maybe you already know that

Hi Renich, maybe you know a way to make fedora use the highest clock in general ?

i tried to change the governors but it only lasts for maybe one session, so next reboot it´s running defaul settings.. any idea ?

thanks

Hello Beerhunter,

Easy, just install kernel-tools and enable the cpupower service.

Code: Select all

su -
dnf install -y kernel-tools
systemctl enable cpupower.service
systemctl start cpupower.service

Also, you can edit /etc/sysconfig/cpupower, so, when it stops, it sets the clock to whatever you want.

thanks man, but unfortunately the CCRMA Kernel which i use has got trouble with setting the highest clock, but anyway im gonna work with the default one.
