I've got realtime working on Etch, with a realtime kernel from the musix repo, along with rtirq, and schedutils as a dependency to rtirq. Saying that, rtirq doesn't appear to be running, but the chrt tool in schedutils has worked around the problem, and I have my soundcard set up with a prio of 90, and no, or nearly no xruns. Just one every 6m 25secs, and only of 0.250 msecs.
Moving on to Lenny, and after a bit of googling, schedutils appears to now be merged into util-linux. I have util-linux installed, but looking at the installed files for it in synaptic, I don't see chrt, which is one of the old schedutils tools that I need to be able to set realtime priorities for the soundcard. In Etch chrt is in /usr/bin. Looking in Lenny, it doesn't exist. I copied rtirq from Etch into /var/cache/apt/archives on Lenny, then ran dpkg -i on that directory. Output as below. dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rtirq: rtirq depends on schedutils; however: Package schedutils is not installed. Pretty obvious really, as schedutils is no longer available for Lenny. So, just how can I get a realtime kernel running on Lenny now that schedutils is no longer available? I'm not overly bothered, just a bit annoyed that I've had to spend quite a bit of time getting realtime running on Etch using schedutils, only to find that schedutils has been removed on Lenny, so am back to square one. Any comments/suggestions anyone? Nigel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
