Hi people!
I finally got pam rt rlimits working, using pam 0.78 + rlimits patch on
a gentoo system. Jack starts fine in realtime. rt-lsm not loaded.
But there are some questions i'd like to ask, well.. one that is. And i
think this might also be the issue mentioned here.
all docs around the net tell that one has to set following in
limits.conf:
@audio - memlock 250000
@audio - nice -10
@audio - rtprio 100
..or @audio whatever. now i also got that unknown item 'rtprio' on
login from pam.
looking at the patch i found the following:
[...]
now even i'm not a coder, rtprio is infact called
rt_priority! that
seems dokumented wrong in limits.conf on opensuse
[...]
Maybe that helps some people here! If i got something wrong please
excuse and correct me. At least here it now all seems to work out fine
and also audio apps can now use more than 15% cpu, which is set as
default value in the patch.
Best regards
Tom
I was under the impression that the developers of pam changed this when
they merged in the patch. So yes, with the patch it is rt_priority (and
that is what I am still using and what works), but with pam > 0.80 it
should be rtprio. (You can browse the source code at sourceforge to
convince yourself.) Why this does not work on Suse (which has pam
= .80, to the best of my knowledge) I don't know.
