** Also affects: ubuntu-desktop-provision
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- [SRU] Users are not initially configured properly
+ [SRU] Users are not initially configured properly for audio in Ubuntu Studio
** Description changed:
[Impact]
Ubiquity and Calamares used to have a facility to make the first
configured user part of the `audio` group by default. Unfortunately,
with `ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap`, we lost this ability in Ubuntu Studio
and making sure that the users had the proper configuration (memory
limits for the audio group) was an oversight.
Fortunately, the ubuntustudio-installer application, and its included
ubuntustudio-audio-config application, have the facility to do that,
although the script needed a little bit of work and the entire package
was missing a runtime dependency on `polkitd-pkla` to make the whole
system work as expected.
[Test Case]
- * Run Ardour
- * Ardour will complain about limited memory (see screenshot attached)
+ * Run Ardour
+ * Ardour will complain about limited memory (see screenshot attached)
Expected: No complaints from Ardour
[What could go wrong]
The only thing I expect could go wrong is that the systemd user service
fails to launch. The backup for this is to run ubuntustudio-audio-config
from the launcher, which would run everything as expected (setting the
memory limits, adding the user to the `audio` group, and rebooting the
system).
+
+
+ [Other Information]
+
+ What really needs to happen here is that `ubuntu-desktop-provision` or
+ `subiquity` needs to add the initial user to the audio group, or at
+ least provide the facility for Ubuntu Studio to configure the initial
+ user to be added as such similar to how Ubiquity did.
+
+ Additionally, `ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings` (part of ubuntustudio-
+ default-settings) may need to add an `adduser` hook to add new users to
+ the audio group and provide the /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf file.
+ In the meantime, having Audio Configuration fix existing users is a good
+ workaround.
