Hi Karsten,

I've done all of that, and checked multiple times.  I'll try again
with your values, but I'm anticipating the same problem.

Thanks,

Grant

with linux for

own, with help
*>* of internet discussion of course, but I can't seem to get this one.
*>*

*>*
*>* I followed the instructions for a full install of pure:dyne; fresh debian
*>* install, updated repositories, updated apt, downloaded the realtime kernel
*>* (2.6.29.3-rt14-pure-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT), booted into it and
uninstalled the
*>* standard kernel, and proceeded to install all of the pure:dyne standard
*>* packages.
*>*
*>* Once that was done I thought I'd try to start up jack in realtime and play
*>* around a bit to make sure things worked.  However when I try to start jack I
*>* get this error message (the same as on the other machine with a realtime
*>* kernel, these are kernels I did NOT compile myself, but downloaded from
*>* repositories):
*>*
*>* JACK compiled with System V SHM support.
*>* cannot use real-time scheduling (FIFO at priority 10) [for thread

"Edit your /etc

I've done this,
*>* and it doesn't help.  I think it has something to do with memory,
and not the

*>* with the realtime_lsm module, which I tried building for this kernel, but it
*>* didn't work.  So I'm really unsure of what to do here.  When I run
modprobe, I
*>* don't get any results for a realtime module of any kind.  But why
wouldn't the
*>* pure:dyne kernel be compiled correctly to support realtime?  I
just don't get
*>* it.  Perhaps its a simple permissions problem (something to do
with /dev/shm?)
*>* but I can't figure it out.  If anyone has any insights or advice,
please let me
