I want to use PulseAudio on top of jack, so I've turned pulse off and now want to start jack using qjackctl. However, this results in the following error log:

(Several messages were in German, I did my best translating them)



The pulseaudio process is defenitely not running.



I use Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit with an NVIDIA audio card.

Group membership is only updated on login, so you need to log out and in again (or just reboot).
