There’s an annoying problem in Ubuntu 9.04 that if you have set your machine to automatically login, but have a password on gnome keyring manager, then it will prompt you for the password before wireless is enabled. There is a bug about it here<\/a> on launchpad. And as usual the Ubuntu guys doesn’t seem to want to take responsibility for the software they are providing. Reminds me of this thrashing bug<\/a> reported over 3 years ago and it’s still open. It’s actiually the first result on google (out of 544.000) if you search for thrashing hell \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Another thing I noticed was that I was looking through the system messages and found the following wierd message.<\/p>\n

Jul 17 16:46:35 arj-laptop pulseaudio[3290]: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time and\/or high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary privileges:<\/p>\n

Jul 17 16:46:35 arj-laptop pulseaudio[3290]: main.c: We are not in group ‘pulse-rt’, PolicyKit refuse to grant us the requested privileges and we have no increase RLIMIT_NICE\/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits.<\/p>\n

Jul 17 16:46:35 arj-laptop pulseaudio[3290]: main.c: For enabling real-time\/high-priority scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit privileges, or become a member of ‘pulse-rt’, or increase the RLIMIT_NICE\/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which was easy enough for me to fix (sudo addgroup arj pulse-rt), though it still would have been nice if this was done properly. This might help some people who has been getting skipping music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
