Jack audio cannot connect to server socket
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 1:37 am
I've tried to set up Jack audio on a 64-bit Mint 14.1 Mate (3.5.0-17-generic unmodified kernel) system by installing the a bunch of audio things from kxstudio, and a few more jack things. I've searched a bit and found no solution that works for me. When I try to start the server from qjackctl, the following messages are given:
- when I run qjackctl
04:52:39.469 Patchbay deactivated.
04:52:39.483 Statistics reset.
04:52:39.497 ALSA connection change.
04:52:39.515 D-BUS: Service is available (org.jackaudio.service aka jackdbus).
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
04:52:39.524 ALSA connection graph change.
- when I click "Start"
04:52:43.616 D-BUS: JACK server could not be started. Sorry

04:52:46.765 Could not connect to JACK server as client. - Overall operation failed. - Unable to connect to server. Please check the messages window for more info.
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
- when it says "Could not connect to JACK server as client. | - Overall operation failed. | - Unable to connect to server. | Please check the messages window for more info."
This is mostly gibberish to me, so hopefully someone here will be able to read it and instantly figure out what's happening
Here are the contents of the /home/to7m/.config/jack/conf.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
JACK settings, as persisted by D-Bus object.
You probably don't want to edit this because
it will be overwritten next time jackdbus saves.
