Hi all: I'm running an OpenSuSE 10.0 machine with KDE and trying to get JACK .99 / Ardour working. I'm using qtJackctrl to try and start the server. Here's what it outputs: 20:00:46.917 Startup script… 20:00:46.917 artsshell -q terminate unix_connect: can’t connect to server (unix:/tmp/ksocket-user/linux.site-3114-44d6631f) 20:00:47.235 Startup script terminated with exit status=256. 20:00:47.235 JACK is starting… 20:00:47.235 /usr/bin/jackd -R -m -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -H 20:00:47.252 JACK was started with PID=5337 (0x14d9). jackd 0.99.0 Copyright 2001-2003 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details loading driver .. apparent rate = 48000 creating alsa driver … hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|hwmon|swmeter|-|32bit control device hw:0 configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods 20:00:47.262 JACK was stopped successfully. 20:00:49.359 Could not connect to JACK server as client. My soundcard, an SB0410, seems to be properly recognized by SuSE. I tried going into kControl and turning off the KDE sound system, with no effect. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Jack-won%27t-start-on-OpenSuSE-10.0-running-KDE-tf208… Sent from the linux-audio-user forum at Nabble.com.
