Everything was fine when I had the packages installed from the package manager. I wanted to install guitarix, but for that to work, I had to have Jack2. I’ve removed and manually built and installed Jack and Ardour 2, and now everything works fine except that even when Jack is running, Ardour will not connect to it. The path to the Jack command is right, but whether I start with jack running or not, I get an error saying connection refused. I know the first thing that will be pointed out is the part of the message saying hw0:0 already in use. It’s in use because jack is running- I’ve already rebooted and tried to start ardour without starting jack first and still no go.
I’ve pasted the output below. Thanks a million in advance for any help!
