So i’ve installed Jack and it seems to be running. I added permissions for it according to Unfa’s manjaro setup video. However, I get the following error when I start Ardour. Is there something I need to add to remove that error?
"WARNING: Your system has a limit for maximum amount of locked memory. This might cause Ardour to run out of memory before your system runs out of memory.
You can view the memory limit with ‘ulimit -l’, and it is normally controlled by /etc/security/limits.conf
I’m not an expert with ardour but I think first of all you need to be in the audio group. Enter groups in the terminal and see if audio is one of the groups the user is in.
Then you need to edit the the file /etc/security/limits.conf
Add the following at the bottom before the line # End of file
#audio group @audio - rtprio 95 @audio - memlock unlimited
Hopefully this works for you.
Edit: Should look like this as i can’t seem to get it to space out properly here.
I did log out and reset. I can try setting to a different number as you mentioned. I haven’t yet used the program much, so don’t know if this will cause any issues. I guess I will just leave it for now and come back once I have problems. Thank you very much for your help.
