hi, I am getting crazy by trying to get a system into autorun mode for an installation. unfortunately I don´t have internet access at the place where the machine is, so I will type some questions and try out everything later. It is a CCRMA Distro (2.6 kernel) and a hdsp card. I need to have 4 channel in out, midi. I can start the things by hand, but in autostart I think I mixed up the correc order/sequence to start the processes. (at least I think that is the problem...) my first attempt was to load jack, and then pd. the hdsp kept quiet. then I tried to run jack, then the hdsploader/hdspmixer and then pd, still no sound. After some listsearch I think I should do it like: hdsploader, hdspmixer, jack, pd. Does anybody know, if this will work? has someone experience with more sophisticated autostart mechanisms, like, which programs need run as a minimum, how to run hdspmixer from a shell (I would like to run pd in -nogui mode), how to safely unmount the harddrives after booting or no harddrives at all (maintenance by the museum personal is only turning on/off the fuses of the main electric circuit in the morning/evening). I tried many different attempts to this topic, but still no satisfying solution.
thanks, marius.
