I have an older Compaq dx2200-MT with a Intel socket 775 Pentium which runs IDJC reasonably well, and homebrew PC with a Biostar A68N-5000 mobo and an AMD A4-5000 that simply will not launch the program. The Compaq only has 1 MB of RAM so, things run a bit sketchy; the Biostar PC has 8MB of RAM. Both are running 18.04 LTS. My Linux skills are minimal, but I sure would like to get IDJC on the AMD box. Thoughts?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Is there any error message when you run IDJC from the terminal on the
AMD box?
Cheers!

It is certainly bad when the computer says "giving up," but I don't plan to!

So jackd has some problems, which is stopping idjc from starting. First
check that the user running idjc is a member of the audio group in
/etc/group like so:
less /etc/group|grep audio
If not, add them with:
usermod -a -G audio yourusername
where 'yourusername' is the user running idjc. Then log out, log in and
try again.
If that does not apply to you or doesn't make any difference, check to
see if pulseaudio is blocking jackd from starting.
Cheers!

hi bob
idjc on it's own will struggle to start JACK properly
I use an additional application to control JACK called QjackCtl
there is also another application called Cadence, one of the KXstudio tools
Can see how Qjackctl works using Ubuntu Studio on Live USB stick,
only usually need to set the correct audio device, everything else is already configured to start JACK and deal with Pulseaudio connections
IDJC of course will not run too good from a USB stick,
but should be enough for you to see how to add it to your installed Ubuntu

Have you tried to instal respository of kxstudio. That wil help a lot http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Repositories
I think we ARE dealing with a jack vs. pulseaudio issue. Still not getting things to work, but I'll keep at it.
