The ability for all users to run jack with realtime scheduling is "added" when you install the Planet CCRMA jack package. That thread talks about some security problems that could arise with the use of realtime scheduling, that is definitely not the source of your problems. > a few more observations since my last post: > > 'desktop' audio isn't working either.

I wonder if > that is causing the lock-ups of jackd and Ardour? Most probably (as I state in another email). You have to first go back to testing very basic stuff. Hmmm.... I don't know what would be best.... For starters tell us which soundcard you have, that could help ("cat /proc/asound/cards"). Do you have a .wav file handy? You could try playing that using aplay. That is, in a terminal type "aplay NAME_OF_WAV_FILE.wav". Do you get sound? Any errors? Is the level up? (there should be a small "speaker" icon in your top panel, use it to bring up the level). If there is no sound and no errors what is it that happens? > The fedora12 installation didn't detect the other OS installs on the > system, and it over-wrote the MBR, so right now I haven't figured out how > to boot into either my kubuntu 7.10 or Ubuntustudio 10.04 systems.

AFAIK fc12 uses the "normal" grub? I'm not sure. _Some_ distro had switched to grub2 but I don't know which.
