Hi Shayne,
I'm using "kernel-multimedia-2.6.10-3.mm.22mdk#1-1mdk" from Thac's. If
you added Thac's repository into APT and saw this and the other MDK
kernels, you have the right ones. He didn't change the names but did in
fact recompile them for PCLOS.

So as for getting Realtime-LSM working right, that is one of the things
I noticed too...(First, you as root, need to rmmod capability & rmmod
commoncap then modprobe realtime /with options) In Qjackctl messages, it
tells me "Cannot lock down memory for R/T" or whatever it is. There are
several ways to get this and my usual method in MDK 10.1 was to do
modprobe realtime gid=29. this after adding a group 29 and adding my
user to that group. It always worked fine. I have done that on this
kernel but dont seem to be making jackd happy. That said, I dont see
any, or at best, very few Xruns either.
This kernel should have Alsa 1.09rc2 built in. Jack is the latest
version I believe.

There are some rough edges now and probably for awhile. Make sure you apply all the
upgrades Texstar is putting out. I'm sure you have noticed that it is responsive,
light in footprint and quite "snappy" to boot! :) If it's not quite there
yet, I'm convinced it will be before too long. I need to test out the mklivecd scripts
and test them for myself. Check the IRC channel too. #pclinuxos (not listed) Thac is on
there from time to time as is Texstar. Most of the guys are cool and easy to deal with.
Good luck and keep me posted on your successes / failures / thoughts / etc.
Cheers.

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 :)
