Ah, sounds like you are running jackd and not jackdbus.
I don't think so - I'm pretty sure it's been jackdbus for quite a while.
jackd2 in debian/ubuntu ships with both jackd and jackdbus. Many jack
applications that find no jack server running will start one using jackd
with the temporary flag (we hope). There have been at least some versions
of jackd where this was broken and the started jack server would continue
running. This would block jackdbus from starting. This bug has been fixed
now for over two years. However, ubuntu shipped the buggy version in their
LTS (14.04) and there may be applications that do not bother to set the
temporary flag. Running jackdbus at session start is best practice to
solve this problem. Or use some other method of getting desktop audio into
jack without pulseaudio. On my older system I just did a chmod -x jackd to
solve that... I don't need to any more.
As it happens, I set everything back to the failing situation and rebooted
the laptop.
It now works as it should, with QjackCtl in control. There's no sign of a
pulseaudio
running and yet totem is working?
Cadence running?
