Hi Carlos This first error means that you didn't compile your kernel with capabilities. It is a two-line patch, and you can find out about it here: http://jackit.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.php#q5 Jack is probably choking becuase you are asking it to run as realtime without this capabilties patch. Running as root would avoid the problem as well. Also, if you run Jack as root, it writes a temporary file in /dev/shm [i think.... can somebody verify?] which prevents subsequent use by a user [permissions error to write to the same file]. deleting the file or rebooting will avoid this problem. but better to recompile with capabilities and avoid all these funny little things ;-) good luck, D.
