[SOLVED] How to start JACK with KDE 4? (and which JACK should I use?)

Hi again
I'm using KDE 4, and I've just installed JACK again, and since I can't find any decent documentation on this, I'm having a bit of a problem.
Currently I have jack from [extra] installed, rather than jack2. When I try starting jack as the ArchWiki suggests, i.e. by typing "jackd -d alsa", I get the following error:
$ jackd -d alsa
jackd 0.120.1
Copyright 2001-2009 Paul Davis, Stephane Letz, Jack O'Quinn, Torben Hohn and others.

control device hw:0
the playback device "hw:0" is already in use. Please stop the application using it and run JACK again
cannot load driver module alsa
I've also tried jack2 from [community], and after starting it with "jack_control start", I get this...
$ jack_control start
--- start
DBus exception: org.jackaudio.Error.Generic: Failed to start server
So how do I start it? I'm guessing jack doesn't want to start because some other KDE application grabbed alsa before jackd (but I've been wrong before), and I don't have the slightest idea what jack2 is about with that "generic" error. If anyone would help me shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it a lot.
Thanks in advance!

@schivmeister thanks that one worked
Yes, it was knotify4. So now this part works. I've switched to jack2 and it works flawlessly when starting it with jackd
So this part is solved... now, would you be so kind (if you know) as to point me to some tutorials or howtos (or proper documentation, cos I can't find much of that either) on how to connect various ALSA channels with JACK?
Basically, I want to route my PCM channel and the Mic channel into Capture 1 (or one to Capture 1 and other to Capture 2), since my Intel HDA audio card doesn't have the "Mix" or "What-U-Hear" or whatever as an available capture source. Any leads on that? (or do I have to open another thread for it?)
TIA

  • [Solved] How to start wpa_gui with the acpid

    I have written a script, which start my wlan.
    #!/bin/bash
    #/usr/local/bin/wlan
    function wlan_start {
    # a workaround. reload the module
    modprobe -r iwlagn
    modprobe iwlagn
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    dhcpcd -b -q -t 0 wlan0
    wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -B
    wpa_gui &
    function wlan_stop {
    dhcpcd -q -x wlan0
    killall wpa_supplicant
    ifconfig wlan0 down
    case "$1" in
    start) wlan_start ;;
    stop) wlan_stop ;;
    esac
    If I run it from a console (sudo /usr/local/bin/wlan start) the wpa_gui pops up.
    I have installed it into the handler.sh from acpi. The script is correctly executed, if fn+f5 is pressed, but wpa_gui does not pop up.
    What should I change, that it the gui pops up whith fn+f5?
    Edit:
    The problem was, that I forgot the access restriction of X.
    Adding following code helps:
    export DISPLAY=:0.0
    export XAUTHORITY=/root/.Xauthority
    Remark: /root/.Xauthority is a link to the file of the notebook user.

    Mahesh,
    In the post installation document, under Creating User XISUPER,
    I see the following,
    1.You must now log on to the Integration server host with the user XISUPER, to switch the initial password to a valid password.
    2.You must restart the J2EE engine to transfer the user creation to the J2EE immediately.
    I am unable to proceed here.Can you please help me to resume the post installation steps ?
    Thanks,

  • Which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX

    Dear experts!
    Thank you for your attention!
    I am confused with text item (TATX).
    which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX????
    Someone told me that the text item is dummy and should be used as a manual of certain standard item. But the manual may be a book or several papers and it also takes up some inventory not a dummy.
    So, could some body tell me what the text item (TATX) exact is and what function it has.
    Best regard!
    Tangdark

    Hi,
    you can use TATX if you like to enter a text and to print some information between the item lines.

    Hi,
    best hint to give is to start interviewing the product owner
    http://ireport.sourceforge.net/cap3.html
    Note that this is an open source project. Once you know which libraries you need, create a project in JDeveloper and double click on the project node. There is a Library node that allows you to import libraries to be used in your code.
    Under Tools --> Manage Libraries you can configure JSP tag libraries if required

  • My Mac Book Pro starts up with gray bars and instructs me to restart the sy

    I started having problems with my Mac Book Pro last night. It crashed, and instructed me to restart the computer. I've tried the following with the install CD inside the CD ROM Drive:
    1) Restarted it with the OPTION key pressed down
    2) Restarted it with the C key pressed down
    3) Restarted it with the D key pressed down
    The extensive Hard Drive test did not detect any problems. I cannot boot from the main HD or the Install CD. I cannot enter safe mode.
    On a regular boot up the computer starts up with gray bars and the gray bars fill the screen, the spinning gear appears and more gray bars on the screen. The screen then turns black and then I get the restart message.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Like BSteely, I am curious as to how you ran hard drive tests if you can't boot from the Installer disc? Do you have another bootable hard drive attached?
    You might want to try pulling and reseating the RAM and hard drive along with performing an SMC reset. Disconnect any external USB and FireWire devices. You're getting kernel panics during startup which usually indicate a hardware issue.

  • I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

    I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all?  I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
    I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
    When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one.  I did not think there could be a difference.
    Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
    How to proceed??? 
    I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI.  Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
    Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
    As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870.  That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    The Hatter,
    I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can.  From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance.  The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs.  Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
    You said I have the 4000 for CUDA.  I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it. 
    A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000.  Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected?  I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
    Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
    So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
    I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are.  I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4.  Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

  • I got a new iphone 5c for Xmas and my laptop is registered with my iphone 4, which I no longer use or have hence the new phone lol. How do I remove the old info and register my new phone? Will it let me?

    I got a new iphone 5c for Xmas and my laptop is registered with my iphone 4, which I no longer use or have hence the new phone lol. How do I remove the old info and register my new phone? Will it let me?

    You do not register the phone with the laptop. If you are using the same Apple ID on the new phone as the old, you will have no trouble. Connect the phone and you can restore from a backup of the old phone, or just sync your new phone if it is already set up, with the laptop, managing your content in iTunes.

    how should i proceed ?

    Thanks Thomas & Srimanta for the quick response.
    When I checked EKKN table by entering PO there is no asset no. in anln1 field.
