!!! WARNING !!! - The system does not seem to have an audio group (audio or jackuser).
We will not attempt to fix this. Please configure your system to allow

!!! WARNING !!! - Your system seems to use frequency scaling.
This can have a serious impact on audio latency. You have two choices:
(1) turn it off, e.g. by chosing the ‘performance’ governor.
(2) Use the HPET clocksource by passing “-c h” to JACK
(this second option only works on relatively recent computers)

When I then attempt to run the program, I receive this message:
Could not launch ‘Ardour-3.0beta5’
Failed to execute child process “/opt/Ardour-3.0beta5_13072/bin/ardour3” (Permission denied)
All of this is a mystery to me. Please help if you can!
