Public bug reported:
[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)
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).
