So I tried the option of in box control, one is Non X, one is GMPC, One is X system, I tried GMPC, but when I finished the configuration, there is could show the X desktop, but there can not show the GMPC automatic, please help to tell me how to configure it or need install some, thanks! Try to cre...

The prlimit command is part of the util-linux package. I think most of the values set by ulimit are hardcoded in the kernel source files (I am not sure). Ok. Let's try something: Create (if it exists modify) a file "/root/.bashrc" and paste your ulimit commands. Reboot your computer and op...

Hi, I don't have too much time right now, I will be brief. Dynobot, Woaa, nice gear you have :P I was just asking for the hardware running when you executed the ps command. ata_sff -> I suspect your sata controller is running in ide/pata mode not ahci. You can check the bios to confirm. scsi_ehX -> ...

@Walter Thank you for the information and test results. At this point its a fine balancing act. My pleasure :D How do my perceived results compare with your own? I am sure is is system specific to some extent. My perception is when in apply both ulimit -s and -l as unlimited the sound becomes a bit...

Was having issues posting responses yesterday, a couple more: Regarding the questions on the kernel - the specific kernel is 2.6.39-4, and it has the BFS scheduler patches . I'm not sure whether this scheduler contributes to any sound quality perception discussions, but theoretically it sounds like...

Dynobot, I agree with you FIFO should be a better choice. I personally use FIFO for IRQs threads and RR for mpd. I read the link (and others) some time ago and that is why I use RR. I am almost sure mpd is not coded for pure realtime. The FIFO class require some special coding for resources (threads...

To achieve lowest latency with BFS Configure your kernel with 1000Hz, preempt ON and disable dynamic ticks. With the BFS patch schetool cound be used to give MPD top priority. From the mouth of the creator of BFS... "Run your audio and video apps SCHED_ISO: schedtool -I -e amarok This will run...

Regarding the discussion on ulimit - this is starting to sound like a major research project, I'll see what I can find out though - wouldn't be surprised if the defaults are set at compile time for the kernel. I'm pretty sure I don't want to install PAM or any extra background processes to make lim...

I appreciate your insights

Great, just wanted to make it clear

Thanks for the reply Dynobot, MPDPup ships with kernel 2.6.39 # uname -r 2.6.39 # What about uname -a? That is it give any clue if it is a preempt kernel? StudioPuppy has a real time kernel but only supports an old version of MPD 15.4 How is it? Puppy Linux be default only has one user...root. Every...

Hi Idolse,

Do you have an easy way to test a real time kernel?
What is actually the kernel shipped with mpdPup (uname -a). I can't find it and don't have mpdPup installed right now

Did you make progress with nfs support?

Thanks in advance.

I too have been reading and experimenting where to put ulimit command at startup. I tried at the end of my startup script which is last in the init.d list. No luck. Then I tried in the 20.mpd startup right after the renice. Also no luck. The thing that surprises me most is I leave my system on 7x24...

@ldolse It's pretty straightforward: As root: - Create an /etc/samba/credentials file Add username=xxxx Add password=xxxx - chmod 700 /etc/samba/credentials Now only root user can read/modify/execute the file - Mount the share in fstab //server/sharename /mnt/musicfolder cifs credentials=/etc/samba/...

I've seen discussions about several tweaks. I don't know if the package exists for Puppy: rtirq-init (name in Debian). It can address a few of these tweaks (irq threading, priorities...) and you can achieve pretty good defaults/balance for USB Dacs and PCI Cards. An option to activate it in the wizz...

Hi, I am starting to try mpdPup and it looks very promising, congratulations!!! I have one suggestion and two questions. CIFS should use a credential file to store the username and password (chmod 700 it) and uses the credentials option to mount the share. It's more secure and a wider password range...
