Hi, I finally got the rlimits patch working here. Thanks to Jack O'Quin who helped me. I idiot have just forgotten to apply the pam patch. But soon after having this little success I had to determine that audacity is not working with the rlimits patch. I can start audacity but as soon as I press the record or play button audacity chrashes. (Do not wonder but I usually start audacity with 'LC_ALL=en_US audacity' because I have a UTF-8 locale and amarok would chrash with this) > LC_ALL=en_US audacity > > (audacity:19169): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text() > PaHost_WatchDogProc: cannot set watch dog priority! > PaHost_WatchDogProc: killing hung audio thread! > Get?tet With the same kernel (2.6.11.8) without the rlimits patch audacity works fine.
