I don't think you should need to do that, the default-settings package should have done that as far as I remember. You can check if you type 'groups' in to a terminal. If it lists audio then you are in the group.
The second point is a combination of setting the start on boot option in cadence (choose the claudia session option) and setting up claudia if that's what you want to use. Get a studio set up how you want and then it should all load up when you reboot. In claudia you can also set up rooms which function a lot like you talked about with activities, they are sort of sub studios with their own routing and they can be turned on and off so if you combine that with window rules then you can do pretty much everything you asked for I think, and it means it's not an all or nothing thing, you can have all your apps and routing, then fire up the guitar amp sim when you need it with all fancy routing and then close it when you're finished. Everything else remains and you can save a bit of cpu by only using things when you need them. I think it will work better for audio stuff than suspending activities.
Yeah I guess this is where my next learning area is, which is necessary I think! Get under the hood of Linux a bit more
Bit of another learning curve, only just started using multiple desktops for KXStudio, and been using Activities for little over a couple of days or so!
Am thinking the same way as you - I think as my starting approach was fairly scatter-gun, and I think I was duplicating and mixing tasks.
So If I start simpler - get the desktop and the apps set as I want/need, then within that basic scenario of desktops/activities, I can use the studios/rooms to set up a basic in-out with a mixer and one or two effects.
Then if I can run that painlessly, almost headless, it should then just be a simple process of building on top.
The ultimate aim is to learn this 'system' from the ground up, in pieces. Then build multiple systems.
Desktop PC - Fully functioning AV for recording and performance
Laptop - For taking on the road and playing live - stripped back to only what I need
RaspberryPi modules - any number of them for separate headless guitar or keyboard/synth effects
So once I bottom this out I should be bale to apply it

GOOD NEWS:
* So far when I launch Claudia the 8 Channel audio I/O of the Ultra seems to be there on boot every time
That's an improvement then!

I addressed that above. Should be simple to fix.
That does seem to be now running each time on start up as per the settings, as well as the UltraUSB as the default HW, MIDI,
Although Pulse isn't running.

Can you post a screenshot of catia when you have jack running? Where are things routed to if not the system out?
Even though Jack settings are being saved, and the Ultra is there - I am seeing different things at different boots...
Still no system out, so it seems like it has merged all 8 I/Os of the FastTrack Ultra into 1
I will do a bit more testing and try and get some screen shots - I also have a Scarlett interface - I wonder if I am suffering at some level hardware indiosynchronicities.

should find it and install it.
That's what I tried - unable to find it. I'm still reading up about that at some Ubuntu forums... there is another...
Liquorix - reading about that and an updated Ubuntu kernel...

It's all good, you're learning and you're nearly there!
Thank you! I can take the pain in the name of learning!
