I`m making my radio station with Icecast. On Windows desktop everything worked perfectly but on my private Ubuntu-based laptop it`s not so easy... I` m using a tutorial here: http://idjc.sourceforge.net/tutorials_icecast.html When I try to run Jack server I get something like this: "Jack is running in realtime mode, but you`re not allowed to use realtime scheduling. Your system has an audio group but you`re not a member of it. Please add yourself to the group by executing as a root: usermod -a -G audio (my username)" I wrote this line in the terminal but all I have now is: usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd try again later. What it is? I`m afraid it may be something from the previous experiments with Icecast- I had uninstalled everything that could be unnecessary but something could stay. I`m an absolute greenhorn in Linux and I feel really unsure in the terminal. Guys, if you have any ideas what`s going on please write me fast. The official premiere of the radio station is planned on Friday and it had been already delayed once - I don`t want to do it again. :( -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Jack-trouble--cannot-lock-etc-passwd-%28Icecast-IDJC%29-tp34004923p34004923.html Sent from the Icecast - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
