Guitarix error failed to lock memory

Check that you are in the audio
group by bringing up terminal and running the groups
command.
If you do not see audio
listed in the groups, put yourself in it by running:
sudo adduser $USER audio
I didn’t have to do any of these, I did get the error message like you did. But I forgot one important rule: turning it off and on again, or rather logging out and in again to enable the groups that were auto created when installing the software.
That being said, whether you need to add the audio group and permissions to your username, or you do not, restart the computer or log out and in to enable.

Lupen over 5 yearsAdding my user account to the
audio
group and then logging out and in again resolved these errors for me. -
FilBot3 over 3 yearsI did it, and it kind of fixed some issues. Pop!_OS 20.10 seems to be having other issues.
