Its not hostile - its powerfull.

THis example is errmmm... not perfectly the right choice for the average sound-card: - - Force 16bit should not be needed - - Selecting different devices for in/out should not be needed Choosing hw:00 as in/out in full duplex should do for more or less every modern soundcard Selecting 3 periods/buffer often helps with cheapo-soundcards and is recommended for all fiewire and usb devices > > The worst - I don't know how to return to previous working state other > from completely reinstall Ubuntu Studio from scratch ...

Users long for Bug No1 in launchpad because the concept of making a backup and restore it if needed could be "too complicated" for Bob and Rosie?? whoooaaahhh -- scary messages scrolling by }:-] > I absolutely don't know what now, how to return JACK to its previous > working state. Can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance. To set jackd in its initial (working) state you only need to do as follows: 1.) open you filemanager and make it show hidden files 2.) search for .qt/qjackctlrc and .jackdrc 3.) make sure neither qjackctl nor jackd are running and delete them Starting qjackctl afterwards should give the same result as if you had a new-installed system. This is a the simple trick for making "restore points": store all files and folders in your home-dir starting with a dot and store /etc completely. whenever you want to return to a previous state, restore these files, first those in you /home if this is not enough the /etc-stuff also. You should be carefull about the /etc-files if you install new software or do other config-stuff as root. If you like the results, make a fresh backup. If not uninstall the unwanted software and undo the configs. Only if one of the latter 2 fails, restore the /etc-files immediately. good luck ;-) HZN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJE2Nl1Aecwva1SWMRAkG7AJ4ubnxs1Tkzb4YOJnHzbZR+R3j6twCfSjY9 IUJWC7Dbz7WbE25Ds3EFhxg= =lpm8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
