That's why I prefer Arch Linux over Debian and Ubuntu, but Arch Linux requires some knowledge you seem not to have at the moment, so stay with your distro. What output do you get, if you run the following commands? $ pgrep -a jack $ jackd -V | head -1 $ jackdbus $ ls -hl /usr/bin/jackd* /usr/local/bin/jackd* /opt/jack* $ cat /etc/os-release For an Ubuntu install the output here is [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ pgrep -a jack 1769 qjackctl 1775 /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:HDSPMx579bcc -r48000 -p256 -n2 [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ jackd -V | head -1 jackdmp 1.9.11 [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ jackdbus jackdbus should be auto-executed by D-Bus message bus daemon. If you want to run it manually anyway, specify "auto" as only parameter [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ ls -hl /usr/bin/jackd* /usr/local/bin/jackd* /opt/jack* ls: cannot access '/usr/local/bin/jackd*': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '/opt/jack*': No such file or directory -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31K Oct 29 2015 /usr/bin/jackd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 100K Oct 29 2015 /usr/bin/jackdbus [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus)" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS" VERSION_ID="16.04" HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/" SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/" VERSION_CODENAME=xenial UBUNTU_CODENAME=xenial Regards, Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
