[ardour-users] JACKD problem on Debian KDE system

[woweepratt at comcast.net]

Okay the fun has begun! I still have a problem though, probably easy to fix.

I've got JACKD, Ardour and even Rosegarden4 working with no problems...

as long as I'm logged in as root.

If I log in as my ordinary user qjackctl gives me s**t and says it can't connect. 

Is this a simple problem to fix?

FYI. I'm using Simply Mepis with a debian 2.6.10 kernal again. I fouund that my installation problems with Jackd adn Ardour disappered if I removed the unstable repositories from my synaptic list.

Yup, I'm a noob!
