Which version of Pd are you running? Try starting Pd without "-rt" on
the commandline or in ~/.pdrc.

Do you have /usr/bin/pd setuid root? If yes, then try to un-setuid it
(chmod -s /usr/bin/pd) and instead use the realtime-lsm module: $
apt-get install realtime-lsm-source module-assistant $
module-assistant (Follow screen instructions to build and install the
realtime-lsm modules.)

Then with this in /etc/default/realtime-lsm: 

  # enable loading of module at startup
  ENABLE=yes
  
  # parameter settings for module
  PARAMETERS="gid=29"

you should be able to run pd with "-realtime" safely. 

Upgrading Pd to the version from CVS might help, too. 

I run Pd on 2.6.11 without and (Pd-related) problems.

Ciao
