jack-audio-connection kit already depends on sys-auth/realtime-base with pam useflag; this means, if you are using pam (most likely case), you can just add your user to the 'realtime' group and be done No, it doesn't "work", because the user has to ignore the generic advice printed by jackd, and showhow find out that on Gentoo he is supposed to use the "realtime" group instead. IOW, the "realtime" group is suitable, but it is not the group that is mentioned by jackd in the help message. Please patch the message. (In reply to Alexander E.

Please patch the message. heh, i guess reading too quickly didn't work here as you already knew about rt group :) Please feel free to provide a patch for this message and I'll add it to our ebuilds. I'm not very convinced of its usefulness though, since only administrators can add people to groups or change limits.conf and realtime-base already tells them to do this; but you're right in the sense that jackd message is at best confusing. |
