package install problems on Knoppix 3.3 hd install

[acorn]

I'm very new to Linux. About two weeks ago I got a copy of Knoppix 3.3live cd from my brother, and was hooked right away. I'm building a newhome system, and the *only* reason I wouldn't completely commit to linuxwas multitrack recording software.Currently I'm using n-track studio running on windows xp pro. I wouldreally like to find a replacement, as this is the only app holding meback from going all-linux.

Here is my problem:I ran apt-get install ardour, and got "couldn't find package ardour". Ifinally found on some list that I should apt-get install ardour-gtk.This seemed to work okay, except it doesn't run. Typing "ardour" in abash shell gives me

Ardour/GTK 0.431.1 running with libardour 0.715.0/usr/share/themes/Geramik/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:25: error: unexpected identifier`GtkButton', expected character `}'Loading UI configuration file /etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rcardour: [ERROR]: No JACK server found.client name: ardourKilled

Hmm... I wonder why JACK isn't running? So i typed JACK...

This is jack 2.99.9 (C) 2002 Arne Zellentin <zarne@users.sf.net>Warning: could not open generic device /dev/sgXXX for reading andwriting.Info: matching dir found: ./jack/jack-020d0901Error: could not read CD's TOC. : maybe cdparanoia is not installed?

Cdparanoia? Hmmm.. apt-get install cdparanoia... Now it's installed...but same errors..I apologize for any obvious ignorance, but I would really like an excuseto dump M$ once and for all, so I would appreciate any help/pointers youguys could give me.--acorn

Is this the same error you meant?


Ardour/GTK 0.431.1 running with libardour 0.715.0/usr/share/themes/Geramik/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:25: error: unexpected identifier`GtkButton', expected character `}'Loading UI configuration file /etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rcardour: [ERROR]: No JACK server found.client name: ardourKilled


If so try to open up the file its on about, /usr/share/themes/Geramik/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, and have a look at line 25

I had the same kind of problem when I installed mozilla and all I had to do was add a } to the line, may or maynot be the same thing

Thanks for your reply.. That fixed part of my problem, but I still have the JACK not running error...

Have you tried to run cdparanoia as root? Did you get any problems when installing it?

[acorn]

Wow, it's running now :) I finally figured out that i had to start" jackd" as root rather than just "jack"... Ardour is running now, but i'm having to run it as root... I think i read somewhere that this is normal for Ardour... Thanks for your help!

Its ok you may find that you can set it to run under a normal user, but I'm not sure :)
