Are you using the realtime kernel?

That is a great question... When it comes to kernels I am an ultra noob. I installed Ubuntu from a magazine, so if they used it in their distro then I think... maybe? How would one find out if real-time kernel-ing is an option or accessed?

Can you give the output of:

uname -a; lsb_release -a

Thanks

It states that there are no lsb mods available... It states that the kernel is only generic...

Thanks returned.

No idea then if you run:

man rtkit-daemon

what does it say it is called?

It doesn't show it exists... Nothing shows that it exists except for a deep find using iname... I tried a whatis but nothing... Used chkroot and rkhunter but it didn't show up in either case. Someone told me I should patch my kernel but unless they are talking about the dude from the fried chicken commercials I am lost. Still I wouldn't mind poking him in the eye...

     Apparently, this moves processes into "Real Time":

http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=237694

     I understand the reference is for Fedora Core and this is Ubuntu, but I find rtkit is at /usr/lib/rtkit in Ubuntu 10.04. Searched for it with "whereis rtkit" and came up with that.
