Mpd and JACK - problem with ncmpcpp

I have archlinux with kde installed on my desktop computer, however I was curious and wanted to record sound from movies and games with recordmydesktop. I went with the jack solution, but halfway through the process I ended up with this:
[wyrm88@nbabic ~]$ jackd -d alsa
jackd 0.118.0

JACK compiled with System V SHM support.
loading driver ..
creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit

ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 32bit integer little-endian
ALSA: use 2 periods for capture
ALSA: final selected sample format for playback: 32bit integer little-endian
ALSA: use 2 periods for playback
Now, I'm not sure if it has to stop there or is there anything else supposed to follow after this... Anywho, if I don't do this, i can't start mpd normally. If I do this, mpd starts normally , ncmpcpp also, but I have a conky with covers displaying according to the song, which worked before this all jack-messing, now notify-osd doesn't work at all. This is my conky (first post). Also I have qjackctl and alsa-plugins installed, I unchecked realtime in the setup of qjackctll but jack still isn't working.
Any help appreciated.

Hmm, managed to get mpd start without inputing "jackd -d alsa", had to delete /etc/asound.conf, also got cover showing to work. If anybody has any advice about setting jack I'll be very happy.

  • Headphone jack problem with the zen mi

    Not even 2 months after sending it in to be fixed, and I can't move my head without the sound getting distorted. Why don't they fix the problem not just make it work for a month in a half. Is there anyway to fix this withut sending it in?

    I gathered that a lot of people have experienced headphone jack problems with their players, but I thought that was with the Micros only. I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one. Or maybe I'm not. I dunno.
    Anyway, I sent an e-mail to customer support. My wife bought the unit for me for a Christmas present last year, so it's only a couple of months out of warranty. If nothing else, hopefully Creative will tell me how to ship it back for repairs at my own expense (it's gotta be cheaper than buying a new one).

  • Headphone jack problem with Creative Zen Nomad XTra 3

    My warranty expired a couple of months ago, so, naturally, all problems are showing up now.
    Last night I noticed that my player is no longer deli'vering sound out of the right headphone. I've tried with several different headphones and a pair of external speakers so I've confirmed it's with the device and not the headphones. Since the device is not under warranty anymore, I can't find any information on getting repairs or support.
    Any help out there?

  • Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

    Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
    I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
    Here are the different scenarios.
    -If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
    -If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
    -If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
    -If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
    -If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message  I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
    -If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
    -If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
    What I can do:
    - I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and  it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
    -I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
    -I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message.  I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
    I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
    -If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail.  If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
    I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
    I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

    Another problem that may be related….
    I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message  "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location.   Please choose a different location."  I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard.   I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

    I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1.  Why am I having this problem?

    You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account.  If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup Disk for Time Machine disconnecting itself with the message that I ejected it improperly.. It ejected itself - why?

    I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup drive to Time Machine ejecting itself and so does not automatically backup the way it is meant to do. It is connected with an USB cable to my iMac. What could cause this - malfuntioning drive?

    The "iLife" apps are not part of any Mac operating system install and are a separate purchase.
    Once you get past 10.6.6 you can purchase and download iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie. iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued.
    Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and higher include the App Store application which is what you use to purchase Lion.

    Sorry, that didn't work.  I get no drop down menu from the Hot Sync Manager for the Serial Port.  What comes up often is:  "The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time.  Hot Sync Manager will open the port when it becomes available." 
    Could it be the Norton Antivirus Firewall that is preventing the Hot Sync Manager to open the Serial Port?  Just a thought.  Thanks for your help.

  • Scanner and fax problems with the Officejet 7410 AIO

    Hi
    I have Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate 64 bit and I installed the basic drivers for the network of the Officejet 7410 AIO printer and I checked that all its functions worked properly.
    Now, the functionality of the scanner and fax do not work more as in the "Devices and Printers" not appear more their relative icons. How come? How do I install them manually?
    Thanks

    Hi balubeto,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    Re-install the software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.

    Snow Leopard is a Mac OS X version. You say that it's the version you have in your Mac (10.6.8). Do a back up of your files, format the hard drive (using Disk Utility) and reinstall again

  • Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:M

    )Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:MX Lately, my Vision M is having problems that when I plug it into the USB port on any PC to charge it, it lights up for a moment and then goes blank.
    When I unplug it and reseat the usb cable, nothing happens. When I try to turn it on, it's dead. This happens even though it's not fully depleted of battery energy.
    Pressing the reset button does not do anything. The only thing that I've found that will work is to open it up and unplug the battery. But even that is starting to not work.
    This doesn't happen every time I use it, but it is happening quite a bit. It's gotten to the point today that I can't even charge the battery at all.
    Any suggestions? I don't think it's the battery, as it does charge when I don't have these issues, but I'm not really positi've of that either.

    The connector on the motherboard check it . It may need to be resoldered. The last time I ran into those symptoms that was the solution.

  • Headphone jack problem with Zen Micro

    Hi.
    I bought my zen micro on April 4 and everything was fine until a few weeks ago
    when I got the headphone jack problem. When I touch the plug that is connected
    with the player, it makes a weird noise and the volume decreases and goes back to normal
    and it keeps doing it.
    Can I get a/s for no charge since it's a yr hardware warranty?
    P.S.) I can see there are some ppl who are getting upset by this same problem here.
