[ubuntu-studio-users] [solved] Jack can´t start

[Ralf Mardorf]

The new qjackctl GUI only provides one button. It will be available for
the next release: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/qjackctl

I have it installed for my Arch Linux.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q qjackctl
qjackctl 0.4.1-2

It's already possible to compile it for Wily and it works even with
Qt5 already, but the repositories still provide the old GUI.

[root at moonstudio ~]# lsb_release -rc;dpkg -l qjackctl|grep ii
Release:	15.10
Codename:	wily
ii  qjackctl       0.4.0-29-g45508a354d-1 amd64        JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface.

At the moment I only have access to the command line of my Ubuntu
install, since I run it in a systemd-nspawn containmer, so I don't know
if there is already just one button for 0.4.0, however, Xenial will
provide 0.4.1 too and most likely it can be compiled for Wily.

I dislike that "Most advanced Setup/Settings are moved into new
Setup/Advanced settings tab" [1], but seemingly the removed button
seems to be an advantage for newbies.

Anyway, I recommend to stay with the current version, since it now
works for you and building it for Wily might not be that easy for a
beginner.
