Yes, I do understand the frustrations, and I'm sorry your having them. I am also today! Did you start jack in a terminal? Since I'm using qjackctl, maybe it's running a bit different. qjackctl's terminal says: 1:07:40 Statistics reset. 11:07:43 JACK is being forced... 11:07:43 [killall -9 jackd] 11:07:43 JACK has been forced with exit status=256. 11:07:44 JACK is starting... 11:07:44 [jackd -t 500 -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 44100 -p 64 -n 2] 11:07:44 Statistics reset. 11:07:44 JACK is started with PID=4048 (0xfd0). JACK compiled with System V SHM support loading driver .. open starting engine **** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 3.284 msecs Everything to this point is pretty normal. Last evening when I built Ardour it ran, or at least didn't crash. Today when I start it the main screen pops up for a second, and then goes away. I'm left with the following in my terminal: bash-2.05b$ ardour Ardour/GTK 0.412.0 running with libardour 0.698.0 Loading UI configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rc Loading system configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_system.rc Loading user configuration file /home/mark/.ardour/ardour.rc MIDI: MTC on port hw:0 MMC on port hw:0 Shift = Shift_L Shift = Shift_R Control = Control_L Control = Control_R Mod1 = Alt_L Mod1 = Alt_R ardour: [WARNING]: You have 2 keys bound to "mod1" Mod2 = Num_Lock Mod4 = Super_L Mod4 = Super_R ardour: [WARNING]: You have 2 keys bound to "mod4" 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 571 0 285 570 0 0 571 0 285 570 0 Segmentation fault bash-2.05b$ It also looks to me like they've changed what Ardour is expecting for configuration info. I have not exported anything in my .bashrc file, so it seems to be finding /home/mark/.ardour/ardour.rc by default. I don't know what's going on with this, but since I don't intend to run it I think I'd better drop out. Actually, if your interest is really having to do with CD's and such, I always thought Audacity or ReZound would be better choices. Neither require or even use Jack, I think, so they should be more friendly in this sense. BTW - I don't think this is a Jack issue under Gentoo. I run Jack with alsaplayer, freqtweak, tapiir, ZynAddSubFx and abSynth all the time and have no problems. This is pretty clearly an Ardour issue in my mind. Good luck, and feel free to write on or off list about this stuff. Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
