 Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2012 5:03 pm Post subject: [SOLVED-ISH] Firewire with jack, permissions issues |
 |
|
I hope this is in the right place, but I am trying to use a device (/dev/fw0, I believe) on firewire. I have it being set up by JACK with
| Code: | | jackd -R -d firewire |
This works when run as root, but when I run it as a normal user I get this error:
| Code: | matt@matt-PC ~ $ jackd -R --verbose -d firewire
jackd 0.121.3

It's clearly some kind of permissions issue, but I don't really know where to look. Can anyone help me out?

Umm, maybe I should clarify?
I set up the following files from Googling (I really have no idea what they do, some help there would be appreciated):
/etc/security/limits.d/90-jack.conf
| Code: | ### START FILE ###
# Planet CCRMA, jack-audio-connection-kit
#
# Allow processes access to rt priority and memory locking
# without limits, needed by the rt kernel and jackd
* - rtprio 99
* - memlock 4194304
* - nice -10
### END FILE ###
|
/etc/security/limits.d/40-realtime-base.conf (not sure if this one has been adjusted)
| Code: | # Start of 40-realtime-base.conf from realtime-base-0.1
@realtime - rtprio 99
@realtime - memlock unlimited
# End of 40-realtime-base.conf from realtime-base-0.1
|
etc/udev/rules.d/50-raw-firewire.rules
| Code: | KERNEL=="raw1394", NAME="raw1394", GROUP="audio"
|
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-fw.rules
| Code: | # firewire rule for raw1394 device permissions
KERNEL=="raw1394",NAME="%k",GROUP="audio"
|
So I really don't know what these do, but I created them after reading a bunch of things on Google, to no avail. Maybe something in them needs to be changed? |

If there's anything else I can post to help, just ask.
Is this in the wrong forum? |

| Ok, I guess I'll have to take this somewhere else. |

Have you checked if you are part of the audio group as a normal user?

same problem here, solved it right now with this
| Code: | blackknight ~ # cat /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - memlock unlimited |
(that is, changed 500000 to unlimited)
you might also try adding your user to the realtime group, now that I see there is a preconfigured group for that.
if you get positive results by running
| Code: | | jackd -r -d firewire -n 3 -p 2048 |
that is, DISABLING the standard (-R) realtime feature, your problem lies within realtime permissions for your user. you don't need to change udev rules anymore, then. (they define what nodes/symlinks in /dev get created when a new device gets found, and their permissions. your setup looks good to me...)
check as a user to verify the above config files do apply. Remember you have to logout and login for changes to take effect.
PAM may be at fault, look for something like this if ulimit does not reflect the changes to your files.
| Code: | blackknight ~ # grep -r pam_limits /etc/pam.d/*
/etc/pam.d/system-auth:session required pam_limits.so
/etc/pam.d/system-services:session required pam_limits.so |
(maybe you're using some alternate login manager...)
let me know how you're doing, I am doing my first tests with a Saffire 24 and I need it to work on 2nd of Nov ;-> |

My Gentoo install was destroyed in a freak fdisk accident (along with my Windows install as well). I've installed Arch in it's place in order to try it out. I may move back eventually, but for now I've solved the same problem on Arch at the very least.
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-fw.rules
| Code: |
# firewire rule for raw1394 device permissions
KERNEL=="fw0",NAME="fw0",GROUP="audio" |
is the only udev rule I have and it seems to work.The difference is that I now use fw0 instead of raw1394. I didn't have raw1394, possibly because I have 2 firewire ports, or maybe raw1394 was deprecated and I didn't even know. Whatever, at least it works by some means. |

interesting. my saffire is currently not here at my box, but I do have /dev/fw0 and I do not have raw1394. raw1394 seems to be from the old firewire stack, the new one does not seem to provide it.
however, if there's only /dev/fw0, I don't have to change permissions for it, as I do not have any rule saying so. so at least on this gentoo setup, I am able to work with the interface without any special udev rule whatsoever, it seems...
(some realtime scheduling improvement howtos say it might be wise to do the following:
| Code: | KERNEL=="rtc", GROUP="audio", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="hpet", GROUP="audio", MODE="0660" |
I don't know whether it changes anything)
I successfully recorded 7 tracks 24bit/44100Hz for ~90mins without an xrun on my saffire. I used ecasound and ecasignalview as ardour was a little too instable when testing beforehand.
all the best!
