hi everyone!
after some time of job-induced absence from audio work, i have tried to
bring my audio workstation up to date again.
the problem is that i can't get realtime privileges.
arch is x86_64, distro is opensuse 10.0, i'm using the distro kernel,
which is a 2.6.13 with additional patches.
my /etc/security/limits.conf:
@realtime - memlock 128000
@realtime - nice 10
@realtime - rtprio 70
the account i use is member of @realtime.
on login, i get
Jan 6 00:01:38 kleineronkel pam_limits[13812]: unknown limit item 'nice'
Jan 6 00:01:38 kleineronkel pam_limits[13812]: unknown limit item
'rtprio'
and jack tells me it can't get rt scheduling. memlock works, though.
i browsed the kernel source, and it looks like the rlimit patch is there.
pam is recent:
pam-0.80-6
pam_ldap-178-3
pam-modules-10.0-11.2
the bash is not yet rlimits-aware (ulimit does not know about nice and
rtprio), but that should not be a problem, right?
is there a /proc or /sys file associated with the rlimits patch, so that
i can make sure my running kernel has it? or any other command-line
tools that might help to find the problem?
any hints appreciated.
Yes, highly appreciated indeed. I'm on opensuse 10.0 too, and after
realizing that rlimits are not working OTOB I always find myself patching
the original kernel-source with realtime-lsm, over and over again.
AFAICT the question really is _why_ the rlimits is not working on
opensuse10 kernel-2.6.13-15.7 ? pam-0.80 looks to be rtprio ready ...
Anyone else?
