[Bug 454082] Re: ubuntustudio-controls fails to enable NICE

[ttoine]

Eric,

I won't file a separate bug as there is only one bug: "Ubuntu Studio
Controls don't write well the informations in
/etc/security/limits.conf". Or more simply, "Ubuntu Studio Controls
don't work well". It would be better to rename this bug than to open
several others in Launchpad.

This GUI tool should add too the rtprio configuration like that :
@audio - rtprio 99
If it is configured by a script when installing Ubuntu Studio Desktop or
something like that, it is not the better way. Ubuntu Studio Controls
should do it, as not all Ubuntu multimedia users want the Ubuntu Studio
Desktop to be installed. But most of users may consider that Ubuntu
Studio Controls could be a good GUI if it avoid editing configuration
text files at all.

An other bug of the GUI is that nice value is not a percentage, as
indicated. It is just a value... And perhaps, it should be good to have
an explanation about what are max and min values, and that a low value
(under 0) provide "more" real time. With something a simple "?" button,
for example.

In order to close this answer, I remember that the easiest way to get
good right access to raw1394 is to add the user name in "disk" group in
Hardy, and in "video" group in Karmic Beta. Of course, it needs the user
to be member of the "disk" or "video" group. This is perhaps not the
"legacy" way to do it, but it works well. And could be better than
editing a important configuration file with a bad script.

Toine
