Hi,<br>
<br>
As I heard from the Debian jackd maintainer:<br>
In Debian testing/ squeeze and very likely in Ubuntu lucid, it's not<br>
neccesary anymore to manual edit /etc/security/limits.conf! It's been<br>
automatically done by jackd in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf and it<br>
will conflict with /etc/security/limits.conf.<br></blockquote><div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Such things are good to know if you're member of the LAU community, and<br>
I feel communication is lacking often with these kind of things...<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Thank you. I have just installed lucid daily
build. I had already added the "rtprio 99" and "memlock unlimited" lines to /etc/security/limits.conf even if, surprisingly for me, jackd does start with the -R option. I will undo it before I restart the computer. <br>

I wonder about the nice value. It is there but commented out. <a href="http://jackaudio.org">jackaudio.org</a> don't even mention it. What is it for?<br><br><br>Cheers! Pablo<br></div><div><br> </div></div><br><br>
