hi everyone! after some time of job-induced absence from audio work, i have tried to bring my audio workstation up to date again. the problem is that i can't get realtime privileges. arch is x86_64, distro is opensuse 10.0, i'm using the distro kernel, which is a 2.6.13 with additional patches. my /etc/security/limits.conf: @realtime - memlock 128000 @realtime - nice 10 @realtime - rtprio 70 the account i use is member of @realtime. on login, i get Jan 6 00:01:38 kleineronkel pam_limits[13812]: unknown limit item 'nice' Jan 6 00:01:38 kleineronkel pam_limits[13812]: unknown limit item 'rtprio' and jack tells me it can't get rt scheduling. memlock works, though. i browsed the kernel source, and it looks like the rlimit patch is there. pam is recent: pam-0.80-6 pam_ldap-178-3 pam-modules-10.0-11.2 the bash is not yet rlimits-aware (ulimit does not know about nice and rtprio), but that should not be a problem, right? is there a /proc or /sys file associated with the rlimits patch, so that i can make sure my running kernel has it? or any other command-line tools that might help to find the problem? any hints appreciated. best, j?rn ps: i'm aware of the jacklab effort, but i don't want to use realtime-lsm, and since this is a 64bit box, their packages don't buy me much. -- j?rn nettingsmeier home://germany/45128 essen/lortzingstr. 11/ http://spunk.dnsalias.org phone://+49/201/491621 if you are a free (as in "free speech") software developer and you happen to be travelling near my home, drop me a line and come round for a free (as in "free beer") beer. :-D
