[PlanetCCRMA] Newbie needs help - Jack

[Roy Vestal]

Well, I sent this to Fernando and for forgot to CC: the group.

Found the problem. I booted into the "stock" FC3 kernel and tried 
running Jack. When that failed as a normal user, I ran it as root via 
sudo. Since Ardour wouldn't work properly, i ran it as root via sudo as 
well. This created my .jackrc file and my .ardour directory in my normal 
user /home to be root:root with 755 permissions.

The fix was quite simple, and frankly I feel a little silly. I rebooted 
into the ccrma core kernel and removed the .jackrc file and .ardour 
directory from my normal user /home dir. I restarted qjackctl as my 
normal user and !voila! It worked!

Hope my rushing through the docs helps someone down the road!

His sillyness,
Roy
