Summary0004083: Installer cannot detect audio settings
DescriptionInstaller says that my system does not have 'audio' group or user, but 'addgroup tanner audio' says that tanner is already a member of audio group.

Also, installer says that my system is not set up to let unprivileged users do realtime things. Sure I have a 100% functional limits.conf, and when opening session, Ardour launches jackd with 'realtime' option ('/usr/bin/jackd -T -ndefault -p 128 -R -P 60 -T -d alsa -n 2 -r 48000 -p 1024 -d hw:1,0') and I can do recording & playback.

Also, at the end of the install Ardour did not start until I fixed permissions on ardour3 and ardour-3.0 files from 0644 to 0755.
Additional InformationDebian testing. 'uname -a' says: 'Linux ibmpc 2.6.33.7-rt29 #2 SMP PREEMPT RT Sat Aug 21 02:30:51 ChST 2010 i686 GNU/Linux'

Jackd2 version 1.9.7.

Installer was launched by unpriveleged user 'tanner'.

/etc/sudoers had a 'tanner ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL' line.

/etc/security/limits.conf:

@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - nice -20
@audio - memlock unlimited
@audio soft nofile 8192
@audio hard nofile 8192

Well, just rechecked this with alpha7, and after a dosen of various attempts I realized that it's a bug in my homebrewed NAS, not in Ardour installer. Shame on me.

In short, when the installer is run from smbfs-mounted volume, it creates temporary files on the same volume, and then my misconfigured samba server messes up with their permissions so the further installation process shows such a weird errors. When the entire setup process goes on local filesystem, everything is fine, no errors.

I think this issue should be closed.
