The problem I have is that I really need a real-time kernel because too many channels so jack_netsource creates xruns w/ a preempt non-RT kernel.
In the other hand, I can’t find high end video drivers that don’t crash with real-time kernels.
So my idea was to simply run all the audio on a RT machine with X libs but no X running, and put the whole heavy 4 monitors X on a non-RT machine.
By doing this I would also relieve the cpu of the audio machine so X things don’t interfere with the audio processing.
hmmm.
Good news!
Now how can I find out what’s wrong?
If I run ardour with -D all, the last thing I see is “ardour: [INFO]: Your system is configured to limit Ardour to only 8192 open files”.
Then ardour does not stop running, but nothing else comes up.
Did you try some other X client, such as a terminal? What about a browser? Are you actually using the localhost address (127.0.0.1), since that would be extremely wierd…?
