changing rtrio to boot sonic pi

 after installing sonic pi, I try to run it, get error:

`You don't appear to have a sane system configuration.`

lol. yeah probably. 

`It is very likely that you encounter xruns.`

no idea what that means. anyway, I take the advice and add 

`  @audio          -       rtprio          99` to `/etc/security/limits.conf`

I note it here beccause I _suspect_ it's going to stop me pushing my volume levels over 100, which will probably baffle and anger me down the line.


update: 


as per my usual reckless approach, I've installed realtime-priveleges package and added my username to the realtime group. no diff

that "sane system" and "realtime scheduling" message comes from jackd. running "jackd -d backend --help" shows it in the terminal. Now I'm thinking it's to do with pulsaudio settings maybe.


did all this: https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/issues/2341#issuecomment-628016039


which feels dumb, because these are big packages I'm adding and I don't know what they do


update:


welp, it still doesn't boot, but a different error this time - no ports available. can't be bothered doing more for now.

no sound in Papers Please

No sound at all, actually. First I installed alsa-utils, checked alsamixer master was not muted. Installed pulseaudio and pavucontrol. This gave me sound on youtube but not the game. Eventually found this tip in the hotline miami AUR comments: On x86_64 I had to install lib32-libpulse to get sound working. Without the package there was that error: ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so AL lib: (EE) alsa_open_playback: Could not open playback device 'default': No such device or address   https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Unmuting_the_channels https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hotlinemiami/

pdf to png/jpg/etc

Not often I learn something at work that I need to put on here. Anyway, imagemagick: convert -density 600 input_file.pdf output_file.png Gives me a lovely hi-def version of the image. Too hi, probs, but at least it's relatively easy to resize (down) once it's in the appropriate image format.

Crunchbang Changes

Added sftp://root@192.168.1.107/media shares  to ~/.gtk-bookmarks  to create a shortcut to pi media centre in the thunar sidebar (shortcut view only). Upon subsequent reboot that has disappeared, which I need to investigate. Added  KERNEL=="dm-*",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1" to  /etc/udev/rules.d/99-dmapper-hide.rules to remove lvm partitions from the thunar sidebar. I was concerned that I'd have to comment this out and reboot if I wanted access to, say, my Arch install's home folder, but no fear: sudo lvdisplay /dev/linuxVG lists the lvm partitions (where lunuxVG is my volume group) sudo mount /dev/linuxVG/OS3-home /mnt/arch_home mounts the volume at a previously created directory. I also want to get rid of the unused Network shortcut, but the only way I've found so far involves recompiling thunar, which I can't be arsed with. Preferable would be to use samba to connect to an actual windows network with, if that's the way to
