One of the annoying things about running qjackctl on a fresh Fedora
install is that you have to remember to edit /etc/security/limits.conf
as per /usr/share/doc/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.102.20/README.Fedora
or else it doesn't work at all. I'm wondering if there's something we
can do to make this easier.
One idea is to wrap qjackctl in a script that essentially parses
limits.conf to see that everything is set up properly for $USER. If
not, it pops up a dialog box explaining the problem and offering to edit
it for $USER. If the user agrees, it runs a consolehelper app to fix up
limits.conf and continues on with qjackctl.
I just can't imagine how a new user gets anything running without
stumbling upon that README.Fedora file or searching for help on the web.
Good idea? Bad idea? Suggestions?
I was about to say "just let the install scripts do the change in the
background, without asking, and be done with it" but then I remembered
you have to specify the user name(s).
So, yeah, good idea, no doubt. Just make sure to distinguish between
installs being performed via an xterm running in an X session, and a
plain-text session via ssh, or via a local text console - the user will
have to be prompted differently in each case.
The question is - should qjackctl do the change, or
jack-audio-connection-kit? I can see arguments leaning each way.
