[00:02] <artisan> rlameiro: still alot of xruns
[00:03] <rlameiro> well, try the rt kernel then
[00:04] <rlameiro> maybe it is something with locking memory
[00:04] <rlameiro> try to fiddle with the memory lock settings on qjackctl and ubuntustudio controls
[00:05] <artisan> rlameiro: k. I will try!
[00:05] <artisan> thx holstein & rlameiro
[00:05] <artisan> cu
[00:05] <rlameiro> np
[01:21] <RPG-Master> Anyone here have experience with using non-wacom tablets with Ubuntu?
[02:45] <Blank__> >.< nvidia won't work with the rt kernel
[02:45] <Blank__> not even running the installer script from the nvidia site
[03:04] <arghh2d2> howdy yall, does anybody remember there was a bash script that would check your system for a bunch of possible optimizations and list urls to wiki's if you needed em?  is that still around?
[03:24] <arghh2d2> ubuntustudio channel is rockin as usual i see
[03:27] <ScottL> RPG-Master, i've only seen one other guy here asking about the wacom tablet
[03:27] <ScottL> you might check ubuntu forums though
[03:29] <RPG-Master> ScottL: nevermind, found a driver package called WizardPen on launchpad :)
[03:29] <RPG-Master> works
[03:30] <ScottL> superb!
[11:02] <artisan> hm, tried -rt, -realtime as well as -lowlatency .. with all of them I get starting jackd, as well as mixxx: "Cannot lock down memory area (Cannot allocate memory)"
[11:03] <artisan> the corresponding settings for @audio are set in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf (and only there, commented them out in /etc/security/limits.conf)
[11:04] <artisan> rtprio     99, memlock    1160659 & nice      -19. the user is in group audio .. I am really running out of ideas :)
[11:11] <artisan> .
[11:14] <astraljava> artisan: I have only one suggestion due to lack of experience: Have you rebooted?
[11:15] <artisan> astraljava: sure, I had to, to test the different kernels :/
[11:16] <artisan> I don't see where things could be wrong ..
[11:16] <astraljava> artisan: Just making sure. :) Like I said, I don't have much experience with realtime (yet), so I can not give further advice. Stick around, and ask again in a few hours, and hopefully someone knowledgeable will come around.
[11:16] <artisan> :)
[11:17] <astraljava> artisan: Alternatively, you can post to ubuntu-studio-users@ or ubuntuforums.org Ubuntu Studio section.
[11:21] <astraljava> artisan: Hmm, wait, this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation suggests @audio - memlock unlimited, you had an integer instead of unlimited.
[11:22] <astraljava> artisan: Also, I believe nice is considered outdated and obsolete re: realtime.
[11:23] <artisan> astraljava: actually it is more clever to give like ~80% of memory to the audio group instead of unlimited.
[11:23] <artisan> hm, what do you mean by nice being outdated? have a pointer to some docs?
[11:24] <astraljava> artisan: I understand. Hmm... let me find a reference.
[11:25] <astraljava> artisan: http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2010/3/5/166445
[11:27] <artisan> astraljava: kool! good to know :)
[11:29] <artisan> hmm, jackd even as root doesn't start with prio RT
[11:29] <artisan> is that common?
[11:36] <astraljava> artisan: I have no idea. What's your jackd start command?
[11:36] <artisan>  /usr/bin/jackd -R -t1000 -dalsa -r48000 -p512 -n3 -D -Chw:1,0 -Phw:1,0
[11:37] <artisan> but I just saw that it complains about acquiring RT privileges as well.
[11:37] <artisan> but what else then editing /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf can one do??
[11:39] <astraljava> JACK 0.117.0 released: jackd now runs in realtime mode by default. the use of -R is no longer necessary. Use -L to run in non-realtime-scheduling
[11:39] <astraljava> artisan: I saw a mention that -R actually reverses the realtime privileges.
[11:39] <astraljava> artisan: But jackaudio.org doesn't support that.
[11:40] <artisan> ok, thats why qjackctl isnt using -R anymore :)
[11:40] <astraljava> artisan: Try leaving it out anyway.
[11:40] <artisan> same result
[11:40] <artisan> no RT prio
[11:40] <artisan> Cannot use real-time scheduling (RR/10)(1: Operation not permitted)
[11:40] <artisan> :/
[11:41] <astraljava> artisan: Which kernel have you booted in currently?
[11:42] <artisan> 2.6.33-1-realtime #1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT  i686
[11:43] <astraljava> Damn. I'm running out of suggestions. Keep trying on this channel, or like holstein would say, go to #opensourcemusicians, there are some pretty educated folks there too. :)
[11:44] <artisan> k, thanx for trying astraljava :)
[11:44] <astraljava> artisan: But if you find help there, or elsewhere, please do post the solution on the forums or the mailing list, spread the word you know. :)
[11:44] <artisan> I will :)
[11:45] <astraljava> Thanks. :)
