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?

Hmmm, there is a process:
bill 2051 0.0 0.0 24432 592 ? S 09:46 0:00
/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/im-launch
/usr/bin/cadence-session-start --system-start-by-x11-startup
cinnamon-session-cinnamon
but not an explicit cadence process. It would seem that firing up
cadence once has set something and that is enough.
I'm able to run Qjackctl with any problems, and get sounds from totem etc.
Once again, many thanks for guidance and advice!
Bill
