Holger: Thank you once again for your excellent additional information. I really do like to know (or have a good guess of) why things don't work.
It gives me more clues of how to make it work, if in the future there is some case where I need to do so. I generally don't resort to manual changes in configuration files (unless it's something I desperately need), because experience has shown me that I forget what I did, and in a future release, can't remember what I did months before to fix it, and can't find the e-mails I used to learn how to fix it. - Aere On 04/05/2014 10:51 AM, Holger Marzen wrote: > On Sat, 5 Apr 2014, Aere Greenway wrote: > >> Using Lubuntu (all levels up to current), with PulseAudio installed (which I >> need for other reasons), I have never gotten Audacity to work while JACK >> (qjackctl) is running.
