Re: [LAU] jackd in realtime as user: a no-go in spite of modifying limits.conf

I seem to be having the same difficulties here on Natty. /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf is correctly set up. ulimits -l -r tells me I have unlimited memory and max priority of 95 I am definately a member of the Audio group. Firewire is working correctly (will start without realtime, alsa backend fails to get realtime also) and yet starting jackd will yeild the following. jackd -d firewire jackdmp 1.9.7 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others.
