Open the FFADO mixer, wait until it loads the device.<br>
Open QJackctl and change it to firewire<br>
Open Audacity (I haven't tried it in Ardour yet... I wanted to
just see if it works) change it to Jack<br>
Voila! Working as expected.<br>
<br>
So why doesn't it work in plain Ubuntu 14.04? I tried MANY
things, and all of them were useless. Jack works fine with Alsa
but not firewire.<br>
If you like I can later post the output of the errors.<div><div class="h5"><br>

I am having a few issues. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 (not
studio) and I am trying to set up a firewire interface,
and I am having some serious issues getting Jack to
recognize it.<br>
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial
for how to configure qjackctl so use my device. FFADO
Mixer loads the interface just fine, but I cannot seem to
figure out how to configure everything to use it :)<br>
<br>
The other issue is Ubuntu Studio 14.04<br>
I downloaded the 32bit live (DVD) from current yesterday,
and Ubiquity goes fine until the place where I can choose
the packages to install. Then a dialog pops up with a
bunch of ???????? and then the installer hangs up until I
use a TTY to sudo reboot.<br>
I have also tried booting the 64bit beta2 on a Macboot,
and cannot seem to boot into anything useful. I am only
allowed to choose between the EFI boots on the USB, and
none of those work.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help!<span><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>when i migrated my production rig to linux, using a
firewire interface (as well as testing with may other
internal and USB interfaces) these are some helpful tips
that i found made the transition possible.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. work from a live CD. there are several nice live
CD's these days, such as our ubuntustudio live CD. when i
say "live CD", i just refer to the iso image, downloaded
and running from whatever you need.. DVD, USB, whatever..
while testing with the live CD's, you can easily tweak
*any* and *all* configurations, without the fear of
breakage. this is also an easy way to test different
kernel versions and JACK versions with your hardware. i
like to use an ubuntu 12.04, and now, the upcoming 14.04,
as well as AVlinux's live iso</div>
<div>2. what is the issue? is it the firewire? or JACK? or
permissions? or what?</div>
<div>test things as independently as possible. dont land in
a new os, fire up jack, with a piece of firewire hardware
you dont know is supported in linux. start with the
internal audio device, and learn to configure and run JACK
using it. then, you can move forward knowing your JACK
configuration is working or not.</div>
<div>3. the firewire chipset *can* make or break linux
support. you can run "lspci" in a terminal and see what
chipset you have for firewire.. ideally, you have texas
instruments.. if not, i have a few others that work well,
and also, a few that will never work in linux.</div>
<div>4. i have had laptops with IRQ issues relating to
sharing IRQ for firewire with USB ports i was using. you
can check this in the terminal with "cat /proc/interrupts"</div>
<div>5. keep in mind, none of the vendors of any of the
hardware you have have promised you linux support. a team
of experts from many different companies have come
together for years and years to work with each other and
make sure that your hardware works in a different
operating system. you are basically deciding to take that
responsibility on for yourself. </div>
<div>6. temporarily running jack as root (which is not
something i would want to do all the time, continuously)
can help troubleshoot permissions. running "gksudo
qjackctl" allows one to start jack as root.. if jack has
been failing, but runs as root, then, you know that the
hardware configuration in jack works, and that the issue
is more likely to do with permissions.</div>
<div>7. in qjackctl, there is a "messages" button that can
have lots of helpful information.. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>feel free and share any terminal output here for any of
the commands, or the jack GUI error messages.. i suggest
joining the IRC for realtime help.</div>
