JACK keeps me frustrated

[Tomas Valusek]

Hello,

I'm playing with Ubuntu Studio 8.10. I like restore points since they 
are created before software installs (here either by Add/Remove applet, 
manual apt invoking or using Synaptic) and they helped me much on 
Windows since I could easily remember when my system worked fine and 
could choose this "random" point, as you say.

My soundcard is SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS PCI. Now I'm about to restar 
installing Ubuntu Studio from scratch, losing all tweaks I've already 
performed.

Thanks for your patience, since messing with partially known apps is 
always dangerous and I still cannot understand JACK well - and maybe 
some apps I would never suspect interfere with it - maybe Bluetooth 
Manager, maybe OpenOffice, maybe Sun JRE 6.10, maybe OpenOffice 2.4.1, 
maybe even Gnome games - BTW, I tried "mother" Ubuntu Interpid distro 
and JACK was unable to start after I installed ubuntu-studio-audio and 
ubuntu-studio-audio-plugins metapackages.
