Hi
I just installed xubuntu 6.06 on my T41 laptop. When I start jack like
this: "jackstart -R -d alsa -p 64" I get:
jackstart: cannot get realtime capabilities, current capabilities are:
=ep cap_setpcap-e
probably running under a kernel with capabilities disabled,
a suitable kernel would have printed something like "=eip"
This is both with the stock kernel (2.6.15) and a 2.6.17 patched with
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/
Here's something from my .config:
atte@ajstrup:~$ grep PREEMPT /usr/src/linux/.config
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_DESKTOP is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_SOFTIRQS=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_HARDIRQS=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is not set
# CONFIG_CRITICAL_PREEMPT_TIMING is not set
Another thing: Supposed I get the realtime kernel running, one of my usb
keyboards (evolution mk-449c) is not recognized (tried both vanilla
2.6.17 and with the patch applied + the 2.6.17.7 w/wout patch). When I
plug it in I get this in dmesg:
[ 500.792000] usb 2-2.1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 4
[ 500.916000] usb 2-2.1: no configuration chosen from 1 choice
Needless to say, my alsa configuration is exactly the same with all
kernels, here's my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:
