when i run museseq i get the following ouput: JACK: sample rate changed: 48000 cannot set tick on /dev/rtc: Inappropriate ioctl for device precise timer not available Illegal instruction the permissions on /dev/rtc and /dev/misc/rtc crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10, 135 Jul 25 04:44 /dev/misc/rtc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Sep 24 00:42 /dev/rtc -> misc/rtc I am using udev. I am not using devfs. museseq will not start unless it can set the tick rate on /dev/rtc I have get the same error message on versions 7.0 and 6.3 also. Since this bug prevents me from starting the application, I can not further test the application. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install museseq 2.run museseq 3.get error message about /dev/rtc Actual Results: I get the above error message everytime. Expected Results: museseq should be able to set the tick rate on /dev/rtc.

Also i forgot to mention this: I have enhanced rtc compiled as a module and loaded.
fixing proper severity
AFAIK this was due to the request for a higher RTC timing frequency than is the default (1024). upstream is clueless. may be fixed in latest code, will need to investigate.
sorry, the default was not 1024, that is the target value. try sysctl -w dev.rtc.max-user-freq=1024 and let me know if you are able to start museseq then.
please provide the requested information, feel free to reopen if you're about to provide them.
