[PD] Bugs in Pd-Extended in Ubuntu LTS

[katja]

Hi Pierre,

I'm on Xubuntu 12.04 with Pd-extended 0.44 and have experienced big
troubles with Jack too. I only use Jack for complex routings like
Skype to Pd or Kdenlive to Pd via PulseAudio+Jack. I got a lot of
jackdbus-errors initially, and jack wouldn't restart. Don't know if
it's the same issue which you're experiencing. Anyway, it seems that
this was about jackd2 writing config files to different places, which
can be out of sync under certain conditions. Not sure if this is a
correct description but it is my interpretation. Looking at running
processes in command htop, I always noticed a jackdbus processing
still running when the dbus error was given. Killing the jackdbus
process sometimes helped. But in the course of time I've somehow
learned how to avoid it at all, by carefully considering the right
order of operations when starting processes. I have PulseAudio
disabled by default, so I can start Jack first, then the Jack clients,
of which PulseAudio may be one. Then eventually the PulseAudio
clients. When killing processes, everything in reverse order. I don't
like this hocus pocus, but well, I'm happy if it works at all. On
Kubuntu I couldn't get PulseAudio to cooperate with Jack.
