Request to correct conflicting information

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

before I unsubscribe from this list, a last request.

Could somebody please be so kind and at least edit one little thing on
the below mentioned help page?

I noticed that there's no chance to edit the Wiki. The "Applied for
membership" list didn't change within one day. I had a long off-list
discussion with the Ubuntu Studio project lead, but nothing happens. I
gave much more hints, but the below issue is one of the most disgusting
and confusing "information".

Upstream already recommends to not use Ubuntu packages:

http://lists.ardour.org/pipermail/ardour-users-ardour.org/2016-August/028013.html

It's understandable, if you take a look at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu
there's contradictorily information, that claims to follow the same
upstream FAQ:

It's barely possible to make information more worse than this:

"[snip]
Configure the /etc/security/limits.conf file to take full advantage of
the real-time kernel. Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file:

gksudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf

and make sure it says:

@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - memlock unlimited

These value are suggested by the JACK FAQ page
< http://jackaudio.org/faq/ >.

[snip]

All you have to do for this is give your audio group permissions to
access the rtprio, nice, and memlock limits. To do this, you just need
to run these commands, which will add some lines to the
file /etc/security/limits.conf:

 sudo su -c 'echo @audio - rtprio 99 >> /etc/security/limits.conf'
 sudo su -c 'echo @audio - nice -10 >> /etc/security/limits.conf'
 sudo su -c 'echo @audio - memlock unlimited
>> /etc/security/limits.conf'

These value are suggested by http://jackaudio.org/faq.
[snip]"

This is conflicting information and apart from this I at least would
expect "sudo sh -c" instead of "su".

Fortunately the nice value has got no impact and "su" works too, but
it's not good to write something different, than what is explained by
the provided upstream link.

However, could somebody with access to the Wiki please at least remove
the second part with the nice value and only keep the above part
without the nice value?

Regards,
Ralf
