Hi,
I was happyly using ardour2 for a while (version packaged by ubuntu studio). But it stopped opening sessions, whether new or recent.
I tried fiddling around the .ardour file but it did not lead to anything.
A few observations :
- I found that one of the wav files in my_session/interchange/my_session/ became empty (size 0) and this is a mystery to me.
- When try to open a NEW session from a shell, I get the following error messages :
Ardour/GTK 2.0

what is going on ???
I booted my PC a couple times, restarted jack and so on. Ardour refuses to cooperate any longer … and that’s a shame, I really enjoy this program (when it works !
I hope someone can give me a hint.
For information, my system is :
Mobo : Intel DG965SS
Proc : Core 2 Duo E6600 (2 x 2.4 GHz)
RAM : 4 x 1G (some Kingston PC6400)
HDD1 : Samsung Spinpoint P80 (for the OS)
HDD2 : Western Digital WD5000KS-22M (for data)
Sound: M-Audio Delta-1010LT
OS : Ubuntu Studio
Kernel : 2.6.22-9-rt (realtime ubuntu kernel)
Using jackd realtime, -p 64 -n 2
So, everything was working fine until it started behaving so (I cannot say that I did anything strange, it just happened suddenly).
Thanks again for tips.
T.
