Subject: RE: Bristol segfaults when run
onreal-timekernelwhile works

Hi Glen,
I've found that using the -jack option with any other option while jack is
running is what causes both './startBristol: line 188: [: too many
arguments' and the program choosing port 0 by default. When running in the
non-RT kernel, where Bristol works as expected, gives './startBristol:
line 188: [: too many arguments' when jack is running and -jack with any
other option is used, though selects the correct default port and works
fine.
This may be an issue with the RT options? If jack is not running when you
start bristol then the jack API will start it using the current user ID and
permissions, and the bristol engine can connect to it. If the daemon is
already running then you need sufficient privileges to connect, and you may
have differences between the RT and non-RT systems. If the engine fails to
connect then it will exit gracefully, and, in the release you have, if the
brighton GUI fals to connect to bristol it exits rather ungracefully. This
exit is now a little nicer, but the issue remains the failure of bristol to
link to jack, I think.
What happens if you start bristol as root? I will look into the error
message on line 188, I don't think it is the cause, just a syntax error in
the wrapper script.
Regards,
Nick.
Thanks for the reply.
I always use the RT kernel as root as I have not got realtime-lsm installed
for user real-time, so I was starting both jack and bristol in a terminal as
root to find the results. The same segfault happens when logged in as a user
on that kernel. I wonder what it could be?
Glen
