I'm not surprised to hear about crashes and lockups while using qjackctl. I haven't experienced that, but I *have* noticed that jackd has fewer xruns when NOT using qjackctl. I plan on looking into all the command line options and alternative GUIs and documenting them on my pro-audio for Gentoo page. Anyway, qjackctl usually writes to ~/.jackdmp. You can start, when you get to that point, by looking at that file and executing jackd with those options manually.
Best of luck. :-) On 07/07/12 23:40, Derek Shaw wrote: > Damien, > > Precise 12.04 is relatively new and has only been out since the end of > April, that said I am really new to Liquidsoap and have only very > recently come to use it in the last couple of weeks and for a > performance only a few days ago.
