I have installed the Jack audio connection kit from [URL] The two listed dependencies, libsndfile and libsamplerate are installed and everything seemed to go well, except it's not listed in the KDE menus. But that's Ok. I can start it from /usr/bin/jackd But no I can't because I get these error messages:

I have installed windows server 2003 on my computer, and i can surf the internet with my gui-based web browsers.
I have also installed vmware workstation 6.5 on the same computer, and successfully installed fedora 12 in vmware, with network is bridged.
I can successfully ping websites at the command line, e.g., ping [url], it did get replies with time and ttl, but i can't open the websites with firefox or conquerer browsers.
I installed ardour on my F11 box, and both jack1 (0.xx, in /usr/bin) and jack2( 1.9.5, in /usr/local/bin/). Now when I try to start ardour, it balks about being unable to start jack. On the ardour settings page, I tried changing the JACK server path field from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin, to no avail.
On the cmdline, here's what I get when I run, manually jack1 and jack2:
JACK1:

That prompts me to think that JACK1 is fine... but still ardour won't start up.
I am a simple musician who bought a laptop that didn't have windows, nor can I afford a Windows license (being a proper poor musician and all). I have an M-Audio KeyRig 49 midi controller that I would like to get some sound out of. How might I do this? I have jack, qjackctl, qsynth, et al but forget qsynth... I can't even get jack to start! I just need to hook this thing up to a piano sample and I'll be happy as anything. I understand that system information can be useful so here goes: Running F14... here are the jack messages (btw, ctrl C does not work when trying to copy from the jack messages window, despite the contextual menu saying it should. That sucks. where do I submit a bug?)

I have already seen the Fedora Musician's Guide [URL] which is long on theory but short on practical how-to documentation. Is there a better doc I can look at? Do I need to download some special drivers to get this midi interface working? If I plug this thing in to my friend's Mac and run GarageBand, it 'just works' (though GB's piano samples are fairly horrific considering how expensive macs are.) I already own some decent soundfonts but without working jack it seems they aren't much use.
Every time I log in, I get the following notification from Phonon: The audio playback device does not work. Falling back to RV635 Audio device [Radeon HD 3600 Series] Digital Stereo (HDMI) and of course, I get no sound.
Sound is integrated Intel HD "82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller" (courtesy of lshw), and it did work before, it just seems to have appeared suddenly out of nowhere, I can't even tell when and whether it's connected to any updates or other configuration changes.
When booting up my IBM Thinkpad Ubuntu stalls giving the following messages:
Cannot open root device "uuid=58a5831c-5757-49f8.....
Kernal Panic - not syncing: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block
Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly.
I am or was using Hardy.
It seems to me that the program is telling me it can't find the hard drive or the partition where the OS resides. I have my drive partitioned with into sections for booting, the OS and my Home directory.
Under KDE (3.5) in Lenny, whenever I "safely remove" a SD card, I get the following message
"The device was successfully unmounted, but could not be ejected"
The message is obviously ridiculous, and the crashing windows error sound that accompanies it very annoying.
I have our own C written program code which is communicating with a third party C++ written program code to run a moving device. We have successfully communicated with the third party code with wrapper functions. (Thanks to member in LQ that helped me solved this.)Now, we tried to run some functions to move the device. I think it is better for me to attach the related code first. pro.c (The source code we used to run the device)
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include "wrapper.h"

I just bought a new TrendNet TEW-423PI for my ubuntu box (10.04) and have not been able to get it to start. This has the RealTek RTL-8185. I first tried starting up out with the stock install with the built in r8180 drivers. No luck. The board is seen (visible in lshw -C network), but the network device (eth1, or wlan0) never gets created. I googled and got the suggestion that I should install the RealTek r8185 drivers. I did that. I still have the same problem. Looks like something is going wrong in the drivers. Here's what I see in lshw:

I'm new to ubuntu but i do have a basic understanding of programming, but nothing too serious. The reason I am mentioning this is because I have a little project. Currently I use JACK to control the transport of all the aps i use to make music with ardour, hydrogen and rosegarden mainly. I also have an external midi drum machine that I sometimes hook up into the mix via midi in/out, my drum machine (yamaha ry to be exact can send and receive midi data. My question is can I use the transport controls on my external drum machine to control JACK's transport controls? If there is already am app that does something like that, excellent!

I cannot get the jack control window to open. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice and no change. I have sound but would like to get Rosegarden running with Qsynth.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed the libffado from Slackbuilds.org yesterday on my -current box, and followed the instructions in the README for configuration. After I did that jack wouldn't start at all, insisting that there were no recognized drivers, even when I had the alsa driver selected (alsa is working fine, by the way... I have sound). After doing some more research I uninstalled jack and built Jack2 (1.9.6) from source with the following configure options:
Code:
./waf configure --firewire --alsa --dbus --enable-pkg-config-dbus-service-dir
Now when I try to launch jack (regardless of selected driver) I get the following message

Got a little problem after the install of Fedora 12. First there was not problem in opening the raid-device, after i tryed to automount it with crypttab and fstab im not longer able to open it.
Here some outputs code...
I just finished installing Fedora 12 on a rack mount server. I was modifying the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file to use a static IP address, but now nothing works. The device does not boot on start up or anything.Currently, ifcfg-eth0 looks like:
Quote:
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none[code].....
The eth0 device does not start on boot; the server does not get the IP address, is not reachable over the network, and will not connect to the internet....
I installed jack but it won't start either on real, nonrealtime, terminal or qjackctl.It starts a loop of alsa driver xruns until I stop it.

I have avi, mpeg etc files associated with SMplayer. When I double click a file SMplayer DOES lunch but it never starts the playback. Not even the play key is active, and the seek bar and volume bar are frozen. If I go Open-->File and chose a file, everything works great.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to playback a sound file in aucadity just after having played one in rhythmbox or totem or vlc (or presumably any other media player), I get the following message :
"Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate."
When I try again 2 or 3 seconds later, playback works fine. In fact if I wait 2 or 3 seconds after having stopped playback in rhythmbox or totem before starting playback in audacity, audacity doesn't give me the error message at all. Just wondering what causes this delay (as there are no delays when I go from rhythmbox to totem or vlc or anything else).
I am unable to get any audio to play. I configured alsa and checked to make sure nothing was muted. I think the problem might be KDE related but I'm not sure. Also when I restart the computer I get this error. "the audio playback device HDA intel (ALC887 Analog) does not work".

At the bottom it also says: "...if Jack was started check if it was started as the same user as Muse". This might be the issue. But how can I check this? BTW: Jackd has been installed and I am a Member of the Audio Group.
I am new to Ubuntu and don't know how to fix this. I got this Notebook for free, because my Brother wanted to dispose it as it didn't worked properly after he reinstalled xp. Only the dvd-drive is broken, the rest is in really good condition for such an old thing. After a lot of trial and error I could finally install Natty from USB.

I have a Dell xps with a dual core, 8 gigs ram, a primary hard drive with vista on it, and a secondary with linux in its future. It starts loading vmlinuz but ends up with the kernel panic before anything else. I am able to install earlier cores (5-8) and vista recognizes the ram just fine.
I'm running Fedora 15, and am trying to run a program that uses gsoap/soapcpp2 2.7.17 to communicate with different parts of the program. As far as I know everything has compiled correctly and I am using the same versions of the required libraries as several working installations. However, every single time the program tries to open a port, the program is unable to do so. This happens no matter what port I specify.
if there is anything in fedora that would limit or disable the ability of the program to open a port to start communicating. I have tried disabling the firewall with no change to the behaviour.
