Jack audio not working in Musescore 2.1 on Linuxmint 18.2
Hello, The play button, and other transport functions are grayed out and are not selectable when I select Jack Audio Server in Preferences in Musescore 2.1 on Linuxmint 18.2 64bit. (Interestingly, Jack works within Musescore 2.0.3. on the same system) I was unsuccessful with the Musescore 2.1 appimage and snap versions. Using Qjackctl or Cadence to manage Jack made no difference either. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sam
When I run the following in the terminal:
"env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/musescore_musescore.desktop /snap/bin/musescore.mscore"
I get the following error, even through Jack is running "
Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

Do you have file/folder ownership permissions?

How would I find out? Are you talking about permissions for the appimage or snap version of musescore app itself?
The AppImage build simply doesn't support Jack yet.

That's good to know. I suspect the snap version (via sudo snap install musescore --channel=beta) is the same, too?

I have been learning about this since yesterday:
this error: "Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reaso..." is related to using X Display Server with terminal. Sometimes "su - " is enough.
QT related part is related to SESSIONMANAGER environment. Sometimes, moving the ".cache" of your home directory (eg: "mv .cache .cache-old") can solve the problem.

Let me give this a shot. Running into the same issue no Ubuntu 16.10.

I'm not sure about the snap version; it is still in an experimental phase. It would be great if you would be willing to try it out and report back hint ;)

I already did try out the snap version--same issue, no Jack audio.
