Help setting up ardour

[Jesse Gibbons]

When I try to setup an ardour project with 'jack" in my profile, I get
the following error:
connect(2) call to /dev/shm/jack-1000/default/jack_0 failed (err=No
such file or directory)

I did a bit of research and found out I need to use qjackctl to
configure jack. When I try to connect to jack using qjackctl I get the
following log:
15:02:50.599 Statistics reset.
15:02:50.601 ALSA connection change.

Since jack and qjackctl try to use something in /dev with jack I think
I would need someting in my system definition. What do I need to add to
my configuration? If there is no service available to help with this,
what would the service do?
