Hi,

everything unwanted and impossible, becomes possible, when running a
Debian based Linux. 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 at moonstudio ~]$ pgrep -a jack
1769 qjackctl
1775 /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:HDSPMx579bcc -r48000 -p256 -n2
[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ jackd -V | head -1
jackdmp 1.9.11
[weremouse at 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 at moonstudio ~]$ ls -hl /usr/bin/jackd* /usr/local/bin/jackd* /opt/jack*
