[PD] .43.4 and ubuntu 10.04 error / wont launch gui

[Rick T]

Here's what comes back with no GUI

vmpd at vmpd-desktop:~$ pd-extended

Memory locking is unlimited - this is dangerous. You should probably
alter the line:
     @audio   -  memlock    unlimited
in your /etc/limits.conf to read:
     @audio   -  memlock    2273067

One thing I noticed is that the limits.conf for 10.04 is located in
etc/security/ but the message is tell me to change the file in etc/

Thanks
