Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I got a suse 9.3 system with Ardour installed but i can't even start it, it gives the message: 'Ardour could not connect to JACK.,There are several possible teasons:, 1) JACK is not running., 2) JACK is running as another user, perhaps root, 3) There is already another client called "ardour". Please consider possibilities, and perhaps restart JACK.<BR>
Okay what I did is:<BR>
[shell]<BR>
reg@linux:~> ps aux|grep jack<BR>
reg 11609 0.0 0.0 2752 740 pts/1 R+ 16:10 0:00 grep jack<BR>
reg@linux:~> ps aux|grep ardour<BR>
reg 11644 0.0 0.0 2752 740 pts/1 R+ 16:10 0:00 grep ardour<BR>
reg@linux:~> jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 44100 -p 1024 -n 2 &<BR>
