| balleyne | I have a firewire audio interface, and have to chmod /dev/raw1394 every time I boot up. Is there a way to make these permissions permanent? | 06:48 |
|---|---|---|
| ailo | balleyne: What system are you on? | 06:58 |
| balleyne | ailo, I'm running Ubuntu Studio 10.04.3 LTS | 06:59 |
| ailo | balleyne: Ok. So, you're running the old firewire stack I believe. Have you tried ubuntustudio-controls? | 07:00 |
| ailo | It's not doing what it's supposed to though | 07:01 |
| balleyne | ailo, hmm, when I open ubuntustudio-controls, it has 'Enable raw1394 access' checked already | 07:02 |
| ailo | balleyne: I can't remember whether the user needs to be in audio or video group in Lucid | 07:03 |
| ailo | For firewire to work with the old stack, that is | 07:04 |
| ailo | balleyne: Did you mess around with the other settings on ubuntustudio-controls? | 07:05 |
| balleyne | ailo, well, my user is in the audio and video group, but /dev/raw1394 is owned by root:root | 07:05 |
| balleyne | ailo, other settings, nice percentage, I messed around with a year or two back to get the right balance, but haven't touched recently | 07:06 |
| balleyne | ailo, memlock is off | 07:06 |
| ailo | balleyne: Those will edit the wrong file btw | 07:06 |
| ailo | ubuntustudio-controls is buggy in this way | 07:06 |
| ailo | jackd should install a file in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf | 07:07 |
| ailo | While ubuntustudio-controls edits a file called /etc/security/limits.conf (if I remember correctly) | 07:07 |
| ailo | Make sure to remove any lines for @audio in /etc/security/limits.conf, and edit /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf manually | 07:08 |
| balleyne | ailo, ok, thanks. I've got things set in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf already, pretty sure I set them before ubuntustudio-controls was around (I started off maybe with 9.04 or 8.10, adjusted as I've upgraded, etc.). Things work fine on my system, it's just a bit annoying to chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394 every time I boot up, wondering if there's a way to make that automatic or to have it persist beyond reboots | 07:09 |
| ailo | balleyne: Yea, but if you used ubuntustudio-controls to edit memory amount, you will have edited the wrong file | 07:11 |
| ailo | In which case audio.conf is overruled | 07:11 |
| balleyne | ailo, ok | 07:11 |
| ailo | balleyne: So, just remove the @audio lines from the /etc/security/limits.conf file if you got them | 07:12 |
| ailo | balleyne: There should be a file.. /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw1394.rules for firewire devices | 07:13 |
| ailo | This should add firewire devices to audio group | 07:13 |
| balleyne | ailo, yep, removing those @audio lines now | 07:13 |
| ailo | balleyne: But, the 1394 rules will only work if you're running the old stack | 07:14 |
| ailo | Which you must be of course | 07:15 |
| balleyne | ailo, so, my /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw1394.rules file says: KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="audio" | 07:15 |
| ailo | Right | 07:15 |
| ailo | I think that should be it | 07:15 |
| balleyne | yet the group is clearly root when I `ls -l /dev/raw1394` | 07:15 |
| balleyne | ailo, how can I tell if I'm running the old stack or the new stack? I do remember some things changing with upgrades a while back, but I am still on 10.04... | 07:16 |
| ailo | 1394 is the old stack | 07:16 |
| ailo | I think 10.04 uses the old stack by default | 07:17 |
| balleyne | ailo, ah, ok, yeah, definitely still 1394 then, I was thinking of the freebob / ffado driver change I think | 07:18 |
| ailo | balleyne: I can't help double check since I don't have my own firewire device at home. holstein, when active is the guy to ask | 07:19 |
| ailo | He's on Lucid, and uses a firewire device. | 07:20 |
| balleyne | ailo, ok, cool, thanks. I'll just chmod for now. :) | 07:21 |

| misterxyz | Hi. I want the PulseAudio output to appear in qjackctr as e.g. ardour or audacious. Is there any possibility ? | 18:37 |
