It looks as if jack has started just fine.. I'm willing to guess that no client can connect to it, am I right? Judging from the command line for jackd, you've build jack by yourself and installed in /usr/local instead of /usr/ (where the ubuntu/debian package has installed jack). This means that you have two versions of jack installed. This causes huge problems. I suggest you "make uninstall" what you build, and rebuild it using ./configure --prefix=/usr (followed by whatever options you've chosen to use). Sampo
