unable to start a2jmidid automatically

[Lech123]

It seems that "a2jmidid -e &" only works if I type it in manually into a terminal, never as a script. It used to work, but no more, and I have no clue what the problem could be.

Running Fedora 27 with a recent stock kernel.

It doesn't seem to be a Qjackctl issue either because I added the same command the distro's application autostart list and that didn't work either.

Any ideas?

I'm running F27 and qjackctl still launches a2j for me.

In my 'execute script after startup' box I have 'a2jmidid -e &'

Hi guys, I'm still having this issue.

execute scripts after startup:
pactl load-module module-jack-sink channels=2; pactl load-module module-jack-source channels=2; pactl load-module module-jack-sink channels=2; pactl load-module module-jack-source channels=2; pacmd set-default-sink jack_out; /bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/a2jmidid -e" &

I'm not sure if it's a qjackctl problem because the latest version seems capable of running even when JACK is stopped, it just refuses to run as a script from anywhere at all, including the OS' own startup list. It just forces me to type it in manually every time.

Try to start it with:
a2j_control start

Then you might avoid those "put it in the background with &" issues.

Having this problem in 2020. Can only start a2jmidid by typing it in a shell. Debian system.

Just found a solution - try moving the command "a2jmidid -e &" to the "Execute script after Startup" option instead of the first one in Jack. Worked for me.
