Hi Rick,

You can start by reading this page in the FLOSS manual, especially the last paragraphs. Once you get how it works, it's no big deal start Pd from a command line with all the settings you need.

Cheers,

Pierre.

Hi,

I would like to set up my system to set up my patch automatically with jack and all the right connections when the system boots. I am using Ubuntu studio at the moment.

I currently have it set so that qjackctl starts when I log in, and I set qjackctl to automatically start up jack server when it opens, and then to open my pd file after it starts.

I have a few problems to overcome.

First, every time pd starts, I need to go into the "Media" menu and change from "Default MIDI" to "Alsa MIDI" Why do I have to change this every time? Shouldn't this setting be saved?

Second problem: After pd opens, I always need to go back to qjackctl, open up the the "connections" and change the MIDI connections. Can't I save this as a patchbay setting somehow? I tried that, but it doesn't work because the patchbay settings need to load AFTER pd starts otherwise the pd connections are not available.

Are there any good documentation somewhere that discusses automating all this kind of stuff?

Thanks! Rick
