Hi!
I have bitched the Mandrake-team for shipping a version/config of jack
that cannot work. It appears like it might be the jack-team that is (at
least partially) to blame ... (?)
I said that they (Mandrake) set up jack to have its sockets on /tmp,
which cannot work when /tmp is part of journaling file-system.
After that, I have had a look at various options that are available in a
clickedeclick style after install. One of them is to empty /tmp on
reboot.
At first I thought that this option would do
# rm /tmp/*
.. or some such. Apparently not because when i do df:
-------------------------------------------------------
[jens@elephant jens]$ df
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 3,4G 2,2G 1,1G 69% /
/dev/hda7 4,3G 2,0G 2,3G 47% /home
none 126M 0 126M 0% /mnt/ramfs
/dev/hda1 1,6G 1,4G 207M 87% /mnt/windows
none 126M 68K 126M 1% /tmp
-------------------------------------------------------
... , it should be clear that /tmp is now similar to /mnt/ramfs (which
is the one I created from the guidelines in the jack source-
distribution.)
The jackd included with mdk10.1 still sounds "funny". How is that?
I have no clue, do not know the answer, but if I do:
[jens@elephant jens]$ /usr/bin/jackd --version
jackd version 0.98.1
default tmp directory: /tmp
... and:
[jens@elephant jens]$ /usr/local/bin/jackd --version
jackd version 0.99.0 tmpdir /mnt/ramfs protocol 13
... , then I get the impression that something very positive happened
between jackd_0.98.1 and jackd_0.99.0
Comments?

Appropriately configured, of course. ;-) Jack has been distributed with Mandrake 10.1
without the realtime
module. So it only runs as root by default here, and then still being
severely disturbed by the underlying journaling filesystem.
We are trying to get the realtime LSM in the kernel so this won't be an
issue in the future. Once it's in the kernel, we only have to get the
distros to configure it correctly :-P and JACK should "just work" out of
the box as a normal user.
