SSE2 detected Connected to JACK server with client name 'LASH_Server' Opened ALSA sequencer with client ID 128 JACK tmpdir identified as [/dev/shm] SSE2 detected Connected to JACK server with client name 'LASH_Server' JACK tmpdir identified as [/dev/shm] SSE2 detected Connected to JACK server with client name 'LASH_Server' Opened ALSA sequencer with client ID 129 Opened ALSA sequencer with client ID 130 Listening for connections conn_mgr_start: could not create listen socket conn_mgr_start: could not create listen socket loader_run: server closed socket; exiting loader_run: server closed socket; exiting Any ideas? -ken -------------------- On Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 01:18:09AM -0800, Josh Green wrote: > Hello Ken, > > Sounds like a strange issue.
