Isn't that cool? There s a new mechanism which allows starting servers
like jackd or lashd if they are needed. It is meant to help beginners
who don't know how to automate via scripts and don't know about all
the different dependencies of the apps and servers.
And the only way to make that work is to set a variable either on the
console or by editing hidden files in your file-manager. And it
involves knowing about shell-scripts.
You just gotta love that!

Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich

where i can
find out how to set the "LASH_START_SERVER" variable?
type something
like
export LASH_START_SERVER=1
or place in /etc/profile or such.

Well, distributions could take care of that.
But ... do you have any suggestion on how to solve this problem otherwise?

If it is a server that can and should be startet without any
additional arguments, than just start it by default.
If it is good to have certain parameters set (like with jackd) than
try the autostarting if a standard-config is available (via a file)
but don't start it if not. And let there be some ways to define the
standard-config by a gui-only way.
Depending on ENV-Variables is a bad thing imho, because either the
user has to deal with it, which is bad for beginners or the
distribution has to deal with it system-wide, wich is bad for pro's...
Have a nice day,
Arnold

You can override environment variables from /etc/profile in your
own .bashrc.

Okay, there are different meanings of a pro:
A) The professional linux-user. For him its no problem to set (or
unset) a variable in .profile/.bashrc/.<etc>
B) The professional musician. Probably switching from Windows or Mac
to Linux. You can explain the dependencies of jack/etc to him and he
will understand it and make use of it. But if it comes to
non-gui-tools and commandline-interfaces and ENV-variables he switches
right back to his old proprietary system...
C) There are certainly many more pro's, but these are the ones
on-topic for LA[DU]...

The LASH_START_SERVER thing was meant to help _me_ not have to start
lashd manually or have it running all the time from boot. Helping
beginners is a side effect.
I'm all for making autostarting all necessary daemons the default
behaviour though.
