Hi, You are correct - it is a known issue and has been discussed that jackd, caed, and anything else using Jack all need to be running under the same user ID or else things won't see Jack and vice-versa.
One option to ensure that caed and jackd run under the same user is to allow the Rivendell startup handle the starting of jackd. This can be done via rdadmin --> Manage Hosts --> Jack Settings Of course, you won't see jack connections show up in stuff like qjackctl unless you are running jackd and caed as the user logged in and also running qjackctl. This is why it is sometimes necessary to not use the jack startup option in Rivendell but rather to start up Jack and then start caed under the same user logged in to start Jack. For sure it can be confusing to figure out and such. Lorne Tyndale > > > I just installed the CentOS appliance CD. Jack wouldn't start when > starting the default rivendell service.
