What a unhelpful error message! can't they at least include information
on the value that was supposed to be used?
same here, but the audio group has also the rights for /dev/rtc
We need the permissions of the actual device file (/dev/rtc0) , _not_
the link since the link permission only describes who is allowed to
follow the link.
But still I get the message when launching Oostudio
(openoctave /
oom).
You might have your settings for the maximum value set too low. What does
the following show:
$ cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq
On older kernels that should be:
$ cat /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
Also relevant:
$ cat /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
You can set these values like this:
$ sudo echo 2048 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq
$ sudo echo 2048 > /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
or set them in /etc/sysctl.conf
