Please read this and then give a good reason why you think it would be valid to break our updates policy in this case.

https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy

4.7 (or later)  will be in Mageia 6.

Sorry Marja,

Next time I will give the reason to upgrade. ;-)

I can wait for mageia 6. I just tought it would be nice to have it on mageia 5.

Comment 4 Ezequiel Partida 2016-03-14 18:06:05 CET

BTW,

I always get a window that shows error: Jack can't use real-time scheduling (RR/5).

I am new to the whole audio scene, and i'm still not quite sure what jack actually does or why. The info found on google doesn't seem to apply to mageia.

I can't seem to find etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf


And a "solution" (Link Below) -> Can you please attach /etc/security/limits.conf and confirm that this user in in the audio groups.

Link: -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/1422682

Does't seem to work or I don't know how to do it since I don't see any groups called Audio.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Jack in Mageia 5 is not configured for real time scheduling, it will be in Mageia 6.

There will be a short instruction displayed during installation of Ardour explaining how to add yourself to the audio and realtime groups.

There will be nothing more to do.

I would advise that you wait for Mageia 6 or even test the release candidates when they are released.

Comment 6 Ezequiel Partida 2016-03-15 08:20:03 CET

Thank you Barry for the recommendation

My friend will have to wait for Mageia 6 to be released to be able to use Ardour 4.

I already have Mageia 6 on my laptop. ;-)

You guys are amazing.

Regards,
