Bug Description

I did a fresh install of ubuntu lucid lynx.

I install ubuntustudio-audio metapackage, which installs jackd and many others

jackd_0.118+svn3796-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
ubuntustudio-audio_0.70_i386.deb
ubuntustudio-controls_0.4.7_all.deb

jackd postinst script writes:

@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - memlock unlimited
#@audio - nice -19
in
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf

This should deprecate the script rtprio.py in the ubuntustudio-audio package,
which writes:

@audio - rtprio 99
in
/etc/security/limits.conf

In addition, changes made for memlock and nice values in ubuntustudio-controls
affect /etc/security/limits.conf

imho, ubuntustudio-controls should be revised and ubuntustudio-audio script removed.
jackd postinst script seems more adequate to achive the needed privileges that jackd needs.

You're right. This should be fixed, but I don't think it will be in time for release

Usage of the rtprio.py has been disabled, and the settings are set elsewhere. One final bug regarding preinst of the package was corrected in the version 0.98.

This was fixed in the latest versions of Ubuntu Studio Controls, and since the versions of Ubuntu referenced in this bug report are long since EOL, I'm marking this as Fix Released.
