The following seems to happen: when you start jackd manually, you already
have a graphical environment providing $DISPLAY which is again used by
dbus.
When you start jackd during boot, it will fail if there is no graphical
environment started yet.
Many distros have stock jackd that expects dbus which again is relatively
tightly bound to the desktop.
You can try these things:
-compile jackd without dbus support (if you don't need it for your app)
-start jackd with a startup mechanism that's run by your graphical
environment (after it's ready and $DISPLAY is set)
Indeed that seems like a
reason. I'm SSHing into to Odroid with -X so I
can launch Pd with its GUI, so I tried to SSH without -X and jack
wouldn't start, but then SSHing back with -X made jack start.
I'd rather not compile something since it took me quite some time to
find an image for the Odroid with which I could get descent sound. Since
now the sound is coming out nice, I'd rather keep the software the way
it is. That being said, I'd rather go for your second suggestion.
Can you post an example of how I should start jack with a startup
mechanism that's run by my graphical environment? I'm not really
following there...
I'll
try again. I tried to add 'jack_wait -w' to my script, and again
running manually works fine, but on boot jack_wait waits for ever and
jack never starts.
jack_wait -w actually helped with creating a log file.
