There's a couple of modest apps I use regularly, being jack-mixer, and jack-keyboard. They're in the standard repos, and have been for some time.
When I go to install them, they're insisting, as part of their dep requirements, that jackd be installed too. I've done a cruise in the interlink, but nothing jumps out as a solution, without displacing pipewire, in favour of "olde" jack.
Has anyone smarter in linux ways than I am, come across this, and how did you solve it?
Or (for the time being) do I have to build from source, and hack the makefile somehow.
Aside from that, the upgrade to 23.1 has been a pleasurable and relatively trouble free experience.
A big thanks to Glen and the MX/AntiX team, for your efforts.
I don't think installing jackd (the daemon part of JACK) is the kiss of death, in fact if you install Qtractor for instance it's going to pull in jackd and libjack2 (the library part of jack) is already installed to help 'old JACK' apps to continue running..
The system is set up to link calls for 'libjack' to pipewire-jack so if you install jack-mixer when it runs it will theoretically work as it always has except it's mixing pipewire-jack... jackd is kind of sitting there as an unused dependency but shouldn't harm or prevent things from working (or at least that is my educated guess)
