Noel,
   How are you starting Jack? I'm having some problems here.

   I agree that it doesn't seem to be able to start Jack on its own.
In my case I don't have a real-time kernel and Ardour3 always seems to
want to use real-time unless I turn it off by hand after getting into
the initial GUI. However once I tried to start the main app, after
selecting the session name and other options, it complained about
broken pipes talking to Jack.

   For Paul or anyone: Does Ardour3 have any command line help clues?
ardour3 --help or ardour3 -h just complains. If there's a command line
option to not start up in real-time mode I'd like to find out about
it.

   No rush on responding as I won't be able to try again for maybe 6-8 hours.

Thanks,
Mark
