Hello,

Could you please be more specific on what is missing in Ubuntu Studio to get 
that level of setup?

This what I know already :

 - Ubuntu Studio already automatically configure the 
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf  by adding the lines :

         @audio   -  rtprio     95
         @audio   -  memlock    unlimited

You just have to add yourself in the 'audio' group manually. 

  - However, there seem to be a problem if you use a generic kernel in Ubuntu 
10.10, because in Ubuntu 10.10 the "RT_GROUP-SCHED" option in the kernel is 
activated. As far as I understand, this means that doing the previous 
manipulation (ie configuring the /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf and adding 
yourself in the audio group) won't allow real-time erformance for JAck...

"The RT_GROUP_SCHED option overrides everything that may have been configured 
in limits.conf and makes it very complex for regular users to get access to the 
realtime scheduling that JACK works best with. "

This comes from Jack-audio-connection-kit FAQ 
http://jackaudio.org/linux_group_sched

Ok so the only option is to use a precompiled real-time kernel, or a preemnt 
kernel having that RT_GROUP_SCHED option disabled (for example in Alessio 
Bogani's ppa), (or a "home-compiled" kernel, which is what i'm doing), or use 
other solutions like it is said in the jack FAQ page I mentioned .

- The rtirq-init script has to be used; 

Is there something else in Ubuntu Studio that has to be set up?

Thank you very much.

Victor
