Awe! Times they are a-changing although Bob Dylan has no D-Business here. The old and cutie gooey for JACK just got one turn around the verge of bit-rotting. This time it brings full JACK D-Bus support, or almost. It also adds D-Bus access for most GUI actions which some might find pretty handy for keyboard shortcut binding from your desktop environment of choice. However, if babies health is your top concern you can just turn this D-Bus thing off and play with the Old times ;) Ahem...
QjackCtl 0.3.6 is now released!

Change-log:
Make sure socket names are unique on each side of the Patchbay (another patch from Dominic Sacre, thanks).
A bunch of primitive D-Bus interface slots have been added, allowing shortcut access to most of main applications actions like toggling Messages, Status, Connections, Patchbay widget pop-ups, reset stats, transport and so on. New bindings are given eg. via dbus-send --system / org.rncbc.qjackctl.
(main
, messages
, status
, connections
, patchbay
, setup
, about
, reset
, rewind
, backward
, play
, pause
, forward
). (from an original idea from Sebastian Gutsfeld, thanks).
Patchbay snapshot now tolerates JACK client port strings that have more than one semi-colon in it, honoring just the first one exactly as everywhere else eg. Connections. (a glitch as reported by Geoff Beasley while using a2jmidid
).
Most modal message dialog boxes (eg. critical errors) are now replaced by system tray icon bubble messages where available (mitigating feature request #2936455).
Comply with jackd >= 0.118.0 which now runs in real-time mode by default; use of -R
is now deprecated from the jackd command line interface options; use -r
to run in non-real-time-scheduling.
A man page has beed added.
Got rid of a pretty old and never really useful "jackd-realtime" server path option--actually, it was only seen available on the now defunct old Mandrake Linux distro.
D-Bus support, as provided by org.jackaudio.service
aka jackdbus, is now being introduced and used wherever available and whenever enabled. Configuring, starting, stopping and logging the JACK back-end server through the "infamous" jackdbus service is now being seamlessly exploited.
Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to disk when Setup dialog changes are accepted and applied.
Server name command line option added (-n
, --server-name
).
Single application instance restriction option added (X11).
Setup for the netjack (slave) "net" driver has now sample-rate and frames per buffer (period size) settings disabled and/or ignored, as those are pretty much auto-detected by default; also, a new "netone" backend driver option has been introduced (as suggested by Torben Hohn).
Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
Fixed some main window keyboard shortcuts. Escape key now closes Connections, Patchbay, Status and Messages widgets as usual (bug #2871548).
Fixed glitch on configure portaudio support, specially when the library is not detected as available.
Cheers && Enjoy.
Comments
Detected bad line in russian translation file.
At the "translations/qjackctl_ru.ts", string 1550:
"alsa" is translated to "ALSA"
This mismatch broke QJackCtl to use alsa driver after other one used (net, netone,...).
It seems there was russian humor... or experiment???
Re: Detected bad line in russian translation file.
Please, report to the russian translator (see TRANSLATORS file).
Cheers
Um, no :)
That should be reported to developer who made localizable things that should not be localizable ;)
Seriously, if it can be broken, then it will be broken :) It's just a matter of time.
Um, wha?
I'm watching you Alex >:)
Thanks for information.
Thanks for information.
Perhaps a bug??
Using latest version from Debian Sid repository, I'm trying to use pre/post script feature tu integrate pulseaudio into jack. When I simply use the Start/Stop button from gui every script stage is nicely esecuted:
Execute script on Startup
Execute script after Startup
..starting the server
Execute script on Shutdown
Execute script after Shutdown
..stopping the server
Rather when I quit the app the 'Execute script after Shutdown' is not executed :-(
Can someone confirm this behaviour??
Re: Perhaps a bug??
What script is this you wish to run after (jackd) shutdown and which version is that of QjackCtl?

Re: Perhaps a bug??
please, try enabling message file logging (see Setup.../Options/Logging) then show here that last portion of the written log just when you quit qjackctl.
seeya
Re: Perhaps a bug??
Ok, with log feature I discovered one interesting thing...
Quitting the application, qjackctl executes a pre-shutdown script before jackd stop, and a pre-shutdown script after too!! I don't know if this issue is only on qjackctl from debian sid.
Using start/stop from gui, every script works well.
I'm also doing italian translation for the gui, could you include it?
Thank you
Re: Perhaps a bug??
Now, are you sure that "Post-shutdown scripts..." is never seen on the logs when you quit? You say that "Shutdown script..." which is about the pre-shutdown one, appear twice?? Weird.
Re. regarding (it) translation, you're welcome! Send me your "qjackctl_it.ts" file in a email attachment and I'll be pleased to add it to the source code repository ASAP.

Re: Perhaps a bug??
Yes, as you describe I've 2 pre-shutdown scripts in the log:

I don't know if this problem is debian related.
My translation isn't finished yet. I'll send you as soon as I complete it! I think in a few of days..
Re: Perhaps a bug??
May you try with your pre-shutdown script in stub mode, that is doing nothing but printing its invocation mode ?
I suspect you're bringing the jackd server down with pulseaudio, while on the pre-stop case and that just sounds like a race condition is lurking in there, as qjackctl will try to terminate jackd once again, right after the pre-shutdown script returns.
Seeya
Re: Perhaps a bug??
I think no, jackd is not killed by pre-stop script.

13:20:34.596 Post-shutdown script terminated successfully.
Everything works well doing start/stop.
The problem is when I start and quit the app, behaviour that can be seen on my previous post.
What do you mean with "stub"? Something like "execute the scripts separately in a shell"?
Thank you
P.S.: this captcha is driving me crazy!! too difficult!!
Re. What do you mean with "stub"?
Re. What do you mean with "stub"?
erm, just printing a "post-stop" line would be fine, but don't take any other actions besides that.
Re. captcha is driving me crazy
if you register you'll get rid of the captcha :) even with that crazyness there's spam sneaking in, so i won't make it any easier :) sorry.
[UPDATE] Would you mind checking out from current SVN TRUNK (qjackctl 0.3.6.1+) and test whether things are any different?
Cheers

Re: I can't find ./configure script.
you need to create the configure script, following the instructions:
make -f Makefile.svn

how to enter guid? (device order)
Hi, I'm trying to enter a guid string in the Interface field in qjackctl settings for the purpose of controlling the order of my 2 Audiofire12 sound cards (for reference http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=49A866F5.1010402...). I've tried entering the string "guid:0x1234567890;guid:0x0987654321" (for example) but it doesn't work. I've tried with quotes around it, without quotes, etc. still doesn't like it. However, it generates the command jackd -R -dfirewire -d "guid:0x1234567890;guid:0x0987654321" -r96000 -p16 n3 (again for example) in the log window and if copied and pasted into a terminal works fine. So I'm just wondering if you could tell me if there is a way to enter it in qjackctl?
Thanks!
Trev
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
Re: Any ideas?
I'm afraid I have none. Should you try with current SVN TRUNK (qjackctl 0.3.6.6) ? There has been a unrelated change that might affect this issue, but I doubt and can't really tell. I have no firewire device experience, nor had I when it was freebob. Have you asked on the FFADO fora?
Cheers
next qjackctl feature
When i start the PC, alsa changes the correlation of sound cards:
example:
Boot 1:
hw:0 E-MU 0404 | USB
hw:1 UM-1
hw:2 HDA ATI SB
Boot 2:
hw:0 UM-1
hw:1 HDA ATI SB
hw:2 E-MU 0404 | USB
QJackCtl always starts the last used device by hw:number.
Can you make it start the device by name instead of by hw:number or can we choose between the two?
There is a solution for that problem by change the configuration files of linux, but a user space solution is better.
Re: next qjackctl feature
that's an ALSA configuration issue and can be fixed for good at the kernel module loading time. ie. something that you can make quite deterministically at
/etc/modprobe.conf
or/etc/modprobe.d
or else depending on your distro.just make sure each one of the ALSA kernel modules get a proper
index
number when modprobe'd and from that moment after it will get always the samehw:
number forever ;)for example, if you wish that your USB soundcard to always always addressed as
hw:2
, no matter which boot you're at, you should make for pre-loading the corresponding kernel module like this:modprobe snd-usb-audio index=2
or, as should be inscribed in modprobe.conf style:
options snd-usb-audio index=2
cheers
Hardware cards indexes
> options snd-usb-audio index=2
-Since the cards do have a name, is there a way to ensure that jackd is using the right card ?
-In plain humans terms, that would be tell qjackctl "please, tell jackd to only use this sound card. And if it's not there for some reason, don't fall back on anything, insult me until I plug [MySoundCard] in" can I talk to him like that ? Is that a bit rude ? ;)
Right now pulse audio is yelling away in the logs, and I'm starting to think of an exclusive setup : [PCintelSoundCard] and [pulse] OR [MySoundCard] and [jackd]
pulseaudio[22353]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="2" name="usb-Novation_DMS_XStation-00-XStation" card_name="alsa_card.usb-Novation_DMS_XStation-00-XStation" tsched=no ignore_dB=no card_properties="module-udev-detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.
Well it sures is confused with names too :)
(I unplugged/plugged things for testing, I'm just saying)
But for that I have to know how to make sure that the worlds won't collide, I really hope that this PCM name thing is reliable...
I mean, it works, it works if I just :
jackd -d alsa -d hw:XStation
jackdmp 1.9.6
(...)
Acquire audio card Audio2
creating alsa driver ... hw:XStation|hw:XStation|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit
(...)
and then
jackd -d alsa -d hw:Intel
jackdmp 1.9.6
(...)
Acquire audio card Audio0
creating alsa driver ... hw:Intel|hw:Intel|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit
-How can I make sure to retain this all along my audio session ? It seems that qjackctl, at some point, translates this name into the corresponding index, puts it in its
vars or in .jackdrc, and then the magic is broken :(InDevice=hw:N
OutDevice=hw:N
EDIT Using the "Preset Name" feature, it works ; I'm not sure about the soundcard waltz but at least my other settings are retained.
-To what files, or settings, do those labels correspond ?
[Presets]
DefPreset=STUDIO
Preset1=STUDIO
Say I want to export this whole config to another machine, patchbay and everything, how will this "STUDIO" be carried along ?
Re: Hardware cards indexes
you can of course write it literally as
hw:Intel
orhw:XStation
or whatever your card small-name is (the name between brackets as listed by/proc/asound/cards
) in qjackctl/Setup.../Settings/Parameters Interface, Input Device or Output Device; you don't have to stick with thehw:
N identification scheme whatsoever.seeya
qjackctl regression
Hi,
The latest qjackctl that comes with Ubuntu Lucid has bugs related to saving the application settings. Previous versions never lost my configuration, but I've now lost my full configuration multiple times with the new version. I setup my firewire audio settings, alsa settings, pre and post scripts, etc., and then it forgets it all randomly and reverts to the defaults. Incredibly annoying. I'm not sure if this is because of something they've done with Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio, or if there have been changes in qjackctl itself.
I've got a request too, which is that qjackctl should recognize if another instance is already running, and not start two instances. I'd like to have it startup, minimized and with jack off, every time I login, but it often starts two instances, one because it is setup as a startup application, and the second because it was remembered in the session.
Oh, and why can't the connections, and messages windows get regular window close buttons? Having only minimize and maximize is super annoying when the main gui window is minimized. It would also be nice if we could turn off the auto-popup of the messages window. I do a lot of messing around with jack during development, and these constant message windows and red icons get annoying.
Thanks a lot for the app though! I use it daily, and this criticism is only from many, many hours of use, so your tool has been very handy.
Cheers,
Jeff
Re: qjackctl regression
Well, what can I say? It all looks like the ubuntu supplied qjackctl packages are utterly broken--my bet is that they have been built against an ancient libqt4 version and then delivered with a new one--just plain annoying business as usual Ubuntu SNAFU :)
Have you (re)tried with my debs (see above) ?
Byee
