It's the ad industry. It won't settle for less than real time access to your eyeballs ;-P Sarcasm [1] aside, the idea was possibly to enhance your videoconf experience. As far as I understand, rtkit gets told by apps over DBus [2] "hey, I'm important. Gimme some real-time prio". No idea where its config is, but there is an admin front end to it called rtkitctl. That said, it is Poetteringware, so it should come with a decent man page. > How do I prevent this from happening? Tell us when you find out.

There should, yes. > Is there a better way then disabling/removing rtkit-daemon? And how > could I remove/disable it? Which package does it come with? Cheers [1] It always feels queasy when sarcasm and reality are so close together. [2] Phew. No DBus around here. Another bullet dodged :-D -- tomás
