Re: [LAU] Scripting jackd connections

Normally it is jackd that gets started by some jack app and then qjackctl can no longer start jackdbus which is pretty normal. Does your version of jack happen to be from 2014ish? It was buggy and when an app started jackd in temporay mode it did not exit when the app closed. qjackctl can only control an instance of jackd it starts itself. However, I can start jackdbus with jack_control and use qjackcontrol to stop and then restart with different parameters. If perhaps you are thinking that you often find "jackdbus auto" running using ps x or something like that, do try jack_control status If it says: --- status stopped jackdbus is not the problem.... probably jackd is also running... try killall -9 jackd and see if qjackctl starts working as you expect. You either need a working jackd or you can chmod -x /usr/bin/jackd if you don't want to do that. (I ran with jackd chmod -x for two years waiting for the repos to catch up with no harm. BTW, jackdbus can do pretty much anything jackd can using jack_control. Try it in a terminal with no parameter for a help list as there is no man page :P -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
