I have now tried to reproduce a failing lock of shared memory (an exact
error message and the exact flags given to jackd would have been very
helpful here).
What exact file is missing?
How do you start jackd? Which terminal emulator, which DE?
What does `prlimit` in the same terminal tell you?
It should be somehow similar to:
RESOURCE DESCRIPTION SOFT HARD UNITS
AS address space limit unlimited unlimited bytes
CORE max core file size unlimited unlimited bytes
CPU CPU time unlimited unlimited
seconds
DATA max data size unlimited unlimited bytes
FSIZE max file size unlimited unlimited bytes
LOCKS max number of file locks held unlimited unlimited locks
MEMLOCK max locked-in-memory address space unlimited unlimited bytes
MSGQUEUE max bytes in POSIX mqueues 819200 819200 bytes
NICE max nice prio allowed to raise 0 0
NOFILE max number of open files 1024 4096 files
NPROC max number of processes 128186 128186
processes
RSS max resident set size unlimited unlimited bytes
RTPRIO max real-time priority 98 98
RTTIME timeout for real-time tasks unlimited unlimited
microsecs
SIGPENDING max number of pending signals 128186 128186
signals
STACK max stack size 8388608 unlimited bytes
I really recommend using the realtime-privileges package and the
realtime group for configuring this.

When you are writing 'locked shared memory isn't working/used', do you
refer to using the '-u' flag to jackd or the memory required for the
implied '-R' flag?
I tried this and without it, but neither jack nor lmms gives me that
error (I ran it verbosely with my internal card, similar to this, with
and without '-u' flag):
/usr/bin/jackd -P80 -p 512 -u -v -d alsa -d hw:PCH,0 -n 2 -p 1024 -r
44100

Yes, that's correct.
Is your issue maybe related to incomplete limits configuration? I can
not reproduce this... sorry.
Best,
David
