Ubuntu 11.10 & KXStudio - Jack Won't Start


I've done some forum and web searches about this, and haven't found anyone with quite this problem. I just built a new system running Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit, with the KXStudio packages. The audio device is onboard audio from an MSI H61M-P23 B3 motherboard.

Here's the output from lspci |grep -i:

Code:
audio00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
Normal audio (Youtube videos, AVIs/MP3s, games, etc.) works fine. Even Hydrogen is OK. However, I can't get any audio from Jack synth apps (ZynAddSubFX, or any virtual keyboards like VMPK). I figured this was a Jack issue, but when I try to start Jack by launching QjackCtl, I get this in the message log:

Code:
21:39:38.921 Patchbay deactivated.
21:39:38.923 Statistics reset.
21:39:38.926 ALSA connection change.
21:39:38.955 D-BUS: Service is available (org.jackaudio.service aka jackdbus).
Cannot connect to server socket err = Connection refused
Cannot connect to server socket
jack server is not running or cannot be started
21:39:38.962 ALSA connection graph change.
When I click Start, I get this error:

Code:
D-BUS: JACK server could not be started.   Sorry
Here's what the message log says:
Code:
21:40:08.185 D-BUS: JACK server could not be started. Sorry

Any thoughts on how I can fix this, and hopefully get software synths working on this system? (I'm running two other PCs with Ubuntu Studio 10.04 and AV Linux 5 - no problems on either of those.)

Hi Zirbert,

(first of all, excuse my broken english...)
I had the same kind of problem, with my "home-made" Ubuntu-studio, based on Ubuntu 11.04 (32 bit).
In my case, the problem was with the Pulseaudio server, wich didn't connect with jack, and thus prevented it to start.
I've found two solutions, one was to use another sound server than Pulseaudio. But in that case, I've read that quite a lot of soft's I use wouldn't work any more "as it". So I didn't try it.
The other solution works perfectly on my laptop: a script (written by a nice guy called Samuel) that links Pulseaudio and Jack. But I do not use RT kernel, and I don't know if it works well with RT kernels.
You will find some more explanations in french on : http://www.linuxmao.org/tikiwiki/tik...ght=pulseaudio

Here we are:

Create a new directory, for exemple: /home/your_user_name/scripts . Create (with gedit, kedit, ...) a new file named: jack_startup .
Write in the following lines:
Code:
#load pulseaudio jack modules
#!/bin/bash

pactl load-module module-jack-sink 
pactl load-module module-jack-source

echo "set-default-sink jack_out" | pacmd
echo "set-default-source jack_in" | pacmd
Save, close, and right click on it. In Properties, authorise it to be "executable".

Then launch qjackctl, and in Settings, Options,
authorise to execute the script after lauching:

/home/your_user_name/scripts/jack_startup

In the parameters tab, put a timeout between 1000 and 5000 ms.
Start jack (with qjackctl), and you should see Pulseaudio linked in the Connections tab.
Works nicely with me.

Hope it will help you!

Bruno
