...and confusion reaches the head of great Jack D. and
from his mouth the words were heard:

#>sudo /etc/init.d/jackd restart
 * Starting JACK Daemon ...
 * JACK daemon can't be started! Check logfile: /var/log/jackd.log                                    [ !! ]
 * ERROR: jackd failed to start
[1]    6210 exit 1     sudo /etc/init.d/jackd restart

...but none of his words, which were good and wise in the past, were
written down for those who came after him:

#>ls -l /var/log/jackd.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2015-05-20 18:18 /var/log/jackd.log

And the children - left alone in the dark of this ancient machine -
stared into the empty LED eyes of their grandmaster not knowing
to where to go and whether to flee or stand still...

"Help - Oh help us brotheren of the Gentoo! Help!"
they cried.
