I'm running the version that came with the fedora 12 install. That
system is out in the garage, and I'm in the house right now, but I think
it reported v0.113 or something like that when it started. I'm running
one of the CCRMA kernels, I think the first one, without the PAE.
* What recommendations did you follow for setting
/etc/security/limits.conf? We need to make sure you didn't follow an
advise from a random link from the web. CCRMA's jack2 needs different
settings than Fedora's jack1. CCRMA's jack2 package does the
modifications in /etc/security/limits.conf automatically. Fedora's
jack1 does need some manual tweaking, as specified in
/usr/share/doc/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0/README.Fedora
Again, this is from memory, but it was the recommendation that jack
itself put into the qjackctl 'messages' window. I think it was something
like this:
@audio - rtprio 100
@audio - nice -10

Just the above, along with something about current user not permitted to
run RT options, so I set up the limits as requested, and added myself to
the audio group.

No that was just negative comments I read on the mailinglist. I haven't
any indication that my problems are due to PA, yet. Does fedora use PA?
That was one of the reasons I tried fedora 12, because I heard that Ubuntu
was too entangled with PA.
I recommend joining the CCRMA mailing list, as there are many more
people there to help you. e.g. I can't help you much pulseaudio since
I always remove it from my systems, but there are people at CCRMA who
use it.

Your experience and opinion are important for us since we don't want
the initial set up to be a turndown for new users.
I agree! The planetCCRMA @home web page was easy to follow, up until
the point that it suggested browsing the repository to select packages.
With fedora 13 only days away, why is the ccrma-audio meta-package still
only available for fedora 11?
I also had trouble trying to install jack. qjackctl didn't draw it in,
and yum wouldn't install jack, jackd, or jackdmp. WTF is the package
called??! I finally just launched qjackctl and pressed the 'start'
button, expecting to get a message about 'jack not found' and maybe a
pointer to the proper package. I was quite surprised to see jackd start
up! It must be a part of the default fedora install. But then, I can't
seem to keep it running for more than 30 seconds...
