JACK2 error: DBus exception: org.jackaudio.Error.Generic:

I try to follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/JA … ection_Kit
to work with JACK2 D-Bus but I get:

$ jack_control start
--- start
DBus exception: org.jackaudio.Error.Generic: Failed to open server

I have consulted this thread without results.
When I open qjackctl and attempt to start the server I get:

01:56:11.937 Patchbay deactivated.
01:56:11.943 Statistics reset.
01:56:11.945 ALSA connection change.
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
01:56:11.954 ALSA connection graph change.
01:56:20.676 JACK is starting...
01:56:20.676 jackd -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p1024 -n2
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
01:56:20.680 Could not start JACK. Sorry.
01:56:22.012 JACK was stopped

Any ideas?

PS: There are no relevant messages in dmesg and my /etc/pulse/client.conf is:

Re: JACK2 error: DBus exception: org.jackaudio.Error.Generic:

Is a bit old issue, but today I had the same issue.

My problem was that the line in the file start_jack.sh:

jack_control dps device hw:HD2

Is an example. The wiki says that you can see your sound card names with:

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xfebf8000 irq 29
 1 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xfe87c000 irq 17
$

So, I changed the line by:

jack_control dps device hw:Intel

and the issue was solved.
