Thank you all for your help. I made a simple script than i launch via a GNOME (or whatever, i'm in ubuntu) launcher and it works just fine. That's the kind of very simple tricks that make life easier. That made my day.
@IOhannes : yes, i know that there should be a way of using HID without being root, i need to take some time to figure it out. What's pd-ot? "Off-topic"?

Pd>=0.43 should automatically start jack if needed. afair, the relevant code is also in PdX
And is there a way i can start both as root? (I need to use HID) I'm
why do you need to be root to use HID? i suggest reading the documentation on unix groups and udev. btw, this is a recurring topic on this list, so you might have luck using the mail-archives.
assuming this would be quite a big breach though.
security wise: yes. script wise, it would be rather simple.
And now, totally off topic, are we allowed to start conversations about topics that aren't in any way related to Pd at all? You 're about the
only
group of highly computer-literate people that i know, and there 's
always a
question or two that i'd like to ask about the directions the digital
world
is aiming at.
well, there is the pd-ot list, which is meant for this kind of talk. otoh, there are not so many pd-ot subscribers as there are pd-list subscribers.
however, you should follow the netiquette and not mix unrelated questions ;-)
