Description of problem ----------------------- If I start ardour, I get an error message telling me that Jack could not be started with 2 hints which basically won't help anyone. See screenshot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Ardour 2.8.12 - 64 bits last version from package manager. How reproducible ----------------- Reproduced every time in my configuration, where I simply installed ardour from package manager. Steps to Reproduce ------------------- 1. Install ardour. 2. Start it. 3. You get a "Session Control" window. Click "Start Audio Engine". 4. Get the error message. Expected result: ardour should run normally out of the box. More ---- ardour.txt has the output when I start from terminal to get more details.

Well this is not a bug only a wrong conf, after this error message you can choose pulseaudio for the sound. But ardour works better with jackit. qjackctl is a wonderful interface for that.
Hi, I was considering this indeed as a configuration issue, which is therefore a distribution bug. But that's just terminology. In any case, I found the reason. The user needed to be in the audio group to be allowed to run jack. Group management is definitely something which should be improved. :-/ Anyway I'll close this ticket.
