[packman] [PM] ardour2 2.0 (openSUSE 10.2/i586)

[Terje J. Hanssen]

Hello,

I just wonder if this might be a built problem or something known you've
experienced?

Ardour2 won't start after installing it on my older K7 running openSUSE
10.2 i586.
It has 512MB RAM and a working Creative SB0312 Audigy LS sound card (#
0, driver snd-ca0106).
After the YaST>Add program installation, I verified that among other the
following packages are installed

* ardour2-2.0-0.pm.1
* jack-0.103.0-142.pm.1

A launcher for Ardour2 became available on the program menu's
Multimedia>Record
But Ardour2 wouldn't start up (nothing visible happened).

Some more information became available using a Gome terminal as root:

# /usr/bin/ardour2

JACK compiled with POSIX SHM support.
/dev/shm/jack-0 already exists, but is not a directory!

The following widget was displayet right afterwards (at the end) of this
list:

Looking into a process list I could neither that JACK (jackd) was
running!!??

Tried the memory command:

# ulimit -l
32

Looked at the content of the referred file
/etc/security/limits.conf

but couldn't find that any lock memory was set (just uncommented lines #)

The IDE DMA settings are

*UltraDMA/44 5T060H6 disk /dev/hda
*UltraDMA/33 DVD Writer 100 CD-ROM /dev/hdc 


At last I also tried to install the previous Ardour version
* ardour-0.99.3-0.pm.2

Neither this one would start.

Any ideas?
