Hi
Just loaded the PC linuxCD live and I get the CL,
login as guest,
No KDE
If I use startx I get a screen error
same as if I login as Root.
Do I need to run all the apps from the CL?
Cheers

I.ve had this happen before and not certain what it is...but the X
server crashes each time you try to start it. Try this from the FAQ

Q. When I booted PCLinuxOS all I got was a black screen with a prompt?
A. hwdetect could not determine the correct video driver for your video
card. You might be able to boot my typing livecd xdrv=fbdev at the boot
prompt. fbdev is a generic driver that should work with most video
cards. If this option does not work, log in as root with password root,
type XFdrake to set up your video card. Log out of root by typing exit,
log in as guest with password guest and type startx to load the desktop.

These guys are devs for PCLOS as well.
Did a little research on this RT issue last night...
So using the kernel above, (Im sure you know this already but for the
record)
1./ #rmmod capability
#rmmod commoncap
#modprobe realtime any=1 gid=29
2./ "gid=29" assumes your user is added to group 29. The realtime gid
option can be for any group number.
3./ Set jack to run R/T in either Qjackctl or whatever.
This gave me RT operation with no issues. Had it running at 64 x 2 48000
on my XP 2500+, 1 gig, Delta 1010LT, Alsa 1.09rc2. Only the odd Xrun
when Ardour or some other apps fire up or shut down.
So just a follow up here:
Indeed, PclinuxOS (PCLOS) is up and alive with Thac's splendid sound
packages amongst others. I Just wiped my MDK install from my
production box (Rather an anxious moment) and installed PCLOS from a
single CD. Then after install I fired up APT and added Thac's RPMs
compiled specifically for PCLOS and have all the core audio apps
installed and running on one of Svetjlo's RT kernels with no problems.
hey there russell
i've dowloaded and installed the pclinuxos live cd ... got thac's apt
repo happening ...
had a few troubles getting rid of KDE and switching to Gnome/XFCE4, but
i think i'm about there now ...
however ... which kernel, from which repository, am i supposed to be
using? with the multi-media kernel, i'm able to start jackd realtime,
however it says it can't lock memorly lock the RT thread ... if i use
Thac's pre-empt kernel, i can't seem to be able to get real-time
privileges at all ... it's a bit confusing, since i'm a CCRMAer thru and
thru, but it would be great to get a live cd setup with ardour and
hydrogen and the other apps i use for recording ... (my recording buddy
uses windows, but wants a way to edit the stuff we do on my linux box
without actually installing linux).
can you give me some general tips on what your
alsa/jack/kernel setup is
with pclinuxos, which repositories you have enabled etc ...
help would be much appreciated, and i hope this can be as good as it
sounds :)

Also mentioned the issues I found in installing some apps from Thac's to
Thac via email and IRC. He is looking at those as time permits.
