[06:48] <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?
[06:58] <ailo> balleyne: What system are you on?
[06:59] <balleyne> ailo, I'm running Ubuntu Studio 10.04.3 LTS
[07:00] <ailo> balleyne: Ok. So, you're running the old firewire stack I believe. Have you tried ubuntustudio-controls?
[07:01] <ailo> It's not doing what it's supposed to though
[07:02] <balleyne> ailo, hmm, when I open ubuntustudio-controls, it has 'Enable raw1394 access' checked already
[07:03] <ailo> balleyne: I can't remember whether the user needs to be in audio or video group in Lucid
[07:04] <ailo> For firewire to work with the old stack, that is
[07:05] <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
[07:06] <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
[07:07] <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)
[07:08] <ailo> Make sure to remove any lines for @audio in /etc/security/limits.conf, and edit /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf manually
[07:09] <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
[07:11] <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
[07:12] <ailo> balleyne: So, just remove the @audio lines from the /etc/security/limits.conf file if you got them
[07:13] <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
[07:14] <ailo> balleyne: But, the 1394 rules will only work if you're running the old stack
[07:15] <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`
[07:16] <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
[07:17] <ailo> I think 10.04 uses the old stack by default
[07:18] <balleyne> ailo, ah, ok, yeah, definitely still 1394 then, I was thinking of the freebob / ffado driver change I think
[07:19] <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
[07:20] <ailo> He's on Lucid, and uses a firewire device.
[07:21] <balleyne> ailo, ok, cool, thanks. I'll just chmod for now. :)

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