Hi Roy,
I'm going to assume you're running 24.04. If you're not, you should
upgrade as soon as possible because PipeWire under 22.04 is not supported.
With PipeWire, you shouldn't have to run a2jmidid at all anymore; it
should all "just work". Gone are the times where you have to fiddle with
the command line.
As far as getting things to auto-connect, use RaySession and it will
"automagically" make things re-connect as it somehow remembers MIDI
connections for you. I'm not sure how, but it might remember the device
MAC itself or something, but I'm purely speculating here. It's installed
by default. Yes, it's a session manager, and it treats PipeWire
connections as JACK connections.
Give that a shot. Works for me and manages to reconnect my MIDI
controller every time I power it off/on or even completely disconnect
it. Even this morning, I started RaySession and Ardour and had
everything disconnected. Connected everything, powered-on everything,
and it all connected right where it was supposed to.
Give it a shot!

Dear Team UbuntuStudio,
Is there perhaps something to be done to get the midi device naming
stable? It's like every time my setup starts again the naming is
different so it won't auto connect. Maybe make several connections for
the same but the patchbay is large enough already.
I ask this because i read up on all of pipewire and we made music with
it last week. But i was still running a2jmidid -e -u.
Maybe i should just wait to development to come by, but i hope it
possible as is.
Best regards,
Roy Damen
