Michal, as Guenter Geiger pointed out on the PD list a little while ago, Jack has gone through a lot of changes in the past few months. one of them is this shm thing. the no-running-as-root thing is Demudi specific. so, as the old sayin' says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! i guess this shouldn't be much of problem if you compile all your jack-aware apps yourself, and haven't gone for any really new versions. but maybe the latest CVS versions of PD would need this new Jack. dunno know for sure, as i am not a devloper :-) derek Michal Seta wrote: >On Wed, 23 Apr 2003 00:04:57 +0200 >derek wrote: > > > >>3) add the following line to /etc/fstab: >>none /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0 >>[this is a virtual file system which Jack uses. you will run Jack as >>user, not as root. if you run it as root, it will make a logfile in >>/dev/shm that will jam up everything, and you will have to remove this >>file to continue.] >> >> > >hmm, funny, I don't have this problem. I'm not 'running' demudi, only a few items including the kernel (2.4.18-586-demudi installed _long_ time ago) but things like alsa + jack and many others I compile myself. I run jack as root (it doesn't allow me run with -R) and /dev/shm in fact gets filled with some stuff but it cleans up afterwards... Maybe I didn't run it long enough? What am I doing wrong? :) > >jack version 0.67.2. > > >
