1. That clears that up. I have another problem then. I didn't know about real time as root.
2. I'll check the tmpfs. My Gentoo is setup with whatever is standard and I don't remember what's in tmpfs right now.
I used the .9x build in portage. I was going to use CVS but it shows up as a .6x version. The ebuild may fetch the most recent version but I haven't found out yet.
Thanks again.

Brett, I'm not running Ardour these days, but I have used it a lot. Most of

Mark1. Shouldn't I be able to run jack as a user or can I start it as root and let it run. Will it service any users who need it then?
Jack can run as either root or brett. All Jack applications must run as
the same user, either root or brett. Jack will not service all users.
A couple of things about Jack. It now uses tmpfs, so you need that
loaded in fstab I think. On my Gentoo box it seems to be there, but
mounted at /dev/shm. I don't know what Jack thinks of that, but it works
for me. On my PlanetCCRMA system it's mounted at /var/lib/jack/tmp,
which I'm sure is what the developers intended. Maybe you can make more
sense out of this than me!
A second thing about Jack is that it will only run with real-time
scheduling (not really required, but advantageous) if you run as root,
not as brett. This should not be required for testing. You'll just get
more xruns if you don't use it.
2. Why is ardour not seeing jack when it's running - my understanding is that Jack runs as root and then ardour will make a connection to it.
If Ardour runs as root, then yet.
3. Any ideas on why ardour might lockup so badly. I haven't been able to get any data since I have to use the hardware reset.
Depends on which version you are running. There was a release early this
week that locked up, but then that was supposedly fixed.
Are you using an ebuild or building from CVS?
