Topic: Jack not starting (no connection as client to Jack-Server)

Hi,

since I updated from Ubuntu 18.04. to Ubunto 20.04, I somehow can't get Jack to run.

I have already uninstalled all applications (are there further applications i should uninstall)

sudo apt-get remove libffado2 ffado-tools ffado-mixer-qt4 jackd jackd2 jackd2-firewire

Then i installed everything with

sudo apt-get install libffado2 ffado-tools ffado-mixer-qt4 jackd jackd2 jackd2-firewire

But as soon as I try to start Jack the following messages appear

19:30:23.423 Statistik zurückgesetzt.

Re: Jack not starting (no connection as client to Jack-Server)

Have you ever solved this?  I keep having issues with other hardware with Jack and Ffado. I will be able to see the hardware it just does not seem to want to allow the use of inputs. I have not tried with RME hardware as they are on the new system. 

I have looked at Pipewave and seems interesting that it uses the throughout pro audio needs albeit it’s being set up for consumer use.  I’m using OpenSuse so that itself is ilarge difficult obsracle.

Just wondering about your issue as it pertains to RME with the same drivers I will have to work with soon.
