Jack and non-root startup

[aplannan]

Hi,

I have been setting up qtractor on tc. Qtractor starts up jack on its own on start up. So far I have been using it as user 'tc', however I get realtime scheduling errors from jack. I tried using 'sudo jackd' in the terminal and it starts up without any errors. If I start qtractor with 'sudo qtractor', i also do not get errors, but qtractor no longer seems to use my config files for qt or qtractor. Can I extend root privleges to tc with regard to jack (actually I'd love to give tc full root privledges)? Or is there any other work around?

I just figured this out on my own. The reason sudo qtractor was ignoring config files was that I change  XDG_CONFIG_HOME in ashrc, but sudo uses bashrc. Qtractor was creating new config files in the default location. I created a symlink between the location I normally use and the /home/tc/.config file and everything works great now as sudo.
