I've ingestigated this issue now and you're not going to like what I found (neither do I). In short, the behaviour you get is the expected behaviour. query_on_start/-Q, as well as a number of other options, are defined as "toggles". What this means is that when you put "query_on_start" in your ~/.jack3rc, you toggle the value on. But when you then also add the -Q option, the value is toggled again - and changed to no. I think it doesn't make any sense for jack to set query_on_start to "no" when you specify -Q on the command line, regardless of the config file. I think something like --no-<var> would make more sense to turn an option off that has been specified in the config file. However, I'm not the author of jack, so I cannot make this behavioural change, and unfortunately the author of jack hasn't touched the code in several years. As far as I know, the rationale behind the way toggles work is that it allows you to turn an option off that has been turned on via the config file (useful if you don't like what's in /etc/jackrc). For now, you can either drop the -Q from the command line, or remove query_on_start from your config file and specify -Q on the command line. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
