Hi all! I'm running Ubuntu 12.10.

Possibly the worst distro (version) for using JACK. There is a bug in PulseAudio in this version of Ubuntu that makes it very hard to use JACK.

Upgrade, downgrade or prepare yourself for a lot of hassle.

Then there is this:

I'm trying to run jackd from a terminal outside of Infinity desktop. (A separate login, I think?) When I run jackd with the parameters I need, I get the following:

Failed to connect to session bus for device reservation Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11

this is a highly specialized use of JACK, and if you want to do this you either need to know and understand a lot more about D-Bus or you need to avoid using a version of jack with d-bus support builtin.
