Amarok/Archives/HowToDj

To DJ for it, perform the following steps. You'll need to obtain the password and permission of Harald Sitter.

• most likely you need a kernel with realtime patch or at least tuned to low latancy
  • on kubuntu:

sudo apt-get install linux-image-lowlatency
sudo su -c 'echo @audio - rtprio 99 >> /etc/security/limits.conf'
sudo su -c 'echo @audio - memlock 250000 >> /etc/security/limits.conf'
sudo su -c 'echo @audio - nice -10 >> /etc/security/limits.conf'
don't forget to install restricted modules if necessary!!!!

• reboot
• install idjc and it's deps
  • on kubuntu:

sudo echo "deb http://aplg.kollide.net/ubuntu feisty main" > /etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://aplg.kollide.net/ubuntu/apachelogger-repo.gpg
sudo apt-key add apachelogger-repo.gpg
rm apachelogger-repo.gpg
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install idjc

• on gentoo, you can emerge idjc and qjackctl from the ProAudioOverlay.

• start qjackctl
• /usr/bin/jackd -v -R -dalsa -r44100
  • if this doesn't work out for you... use qjackctl to tune the settings
• start idjc
• click the server button
