[openob-users] Re: A jackd issue as well

Mike, Several of the Jack2 packages are compiled with dbus enabled. This shouldn't be a problem, but on some systems dbus doesn't get started unless you are running X. I've run into this on Ubuntu/Debian systems quite a bit. Jack doesn't actually need X to run, it is possible to compile it without dbus. Sometimes work around this and run jackd2 by doing a dbus-launch to get the dbus daemon started. An alternate is to try Jack1 as you've indicated. Admittedly for a few reasons I often prefer Jack2, but for what you're doing it really doesn't matter which you use.
