Well no it doesn't. You've changed the order of the words and that changes the meaning. > If it had changed the priority it should say that, but it doesn't. There's a rather unwieldy noun phrase "thread 2534 of process 2507 (/usr/bin/gnome-shell) owned by '1000'" which identifies a particular thread. Let's call that THREAD. Then what the log says is: rtkit-daemon[132284]: Successfully made THREAD RT at priority 20. rtkit-daemon[132284]: Successfully made THREAD high priority at nice level 0. rtkit-daemon[132284]: Successfully made THREAD RT at priority 20. rtkit-daemon[132284]: Successfully made THREAD high priority at nice level 0. So the log is telling you something about changes to the priority and real-time nature of that particular THREAD. I've no idea what they actually mean.
