I recently upgraded my ubuntu 7.10 system to 8.04 and found that my trusty Ardour 2.05 is not working anymore (I got an Error message, daying that my harddisk ( 250 GB, one year old) is found too slow. OK, we got a problem here.
I checked here on the Ardour site, figured that 2.4.1 is the way to go and got it from getdeb.net (explicit ubuntu Hardy Heron 32bit version).
After installing, when opening, I get the “Welcome” page (New Project, Open Project, Audio Setup) and a secons window behind, saying
ERROR: AudioSetup value for samplerate is missing data
What am I up against? Where did I go wrong? I still have my trusty 2.0.5 on my notebook (under ubuntu 7.10), but I would prefer to get my main system (a lot more powerful) running Ardour, too.
the release numbers you are all using make no sense at all. there is no version 2.4.1 or 2.05 (mayeb there was a 2.4.1 in 2008 but it is so old as to be absolutely ridiculous)
the current release of ardour 2 is 2.8.16 and there is absolutely no reason for anyone NOT to be using it. please stop wasting your time with ancient versions of this program. we fix bugs for a reason - to make your life better. if you’re not going to bother using the current version, why should we bother?
