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.
I went jack1 and it now seems to work, I was using jack1 elsewhere.
I had not realized apt install jack (maybe jackd) did not install what I
wanted!
Thanks!
