Gui missing (Ubuntu 22.04)

Hi all,

I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 64-bit.

After installing Ardour 7.1 from Synaptic (adding the Ubuntu Studio ppa), I don’t see the usual plugin gui at the top left (and also the gui at the bottom left).

So I removed the ppa and I installed Ardour 6.9.0 (again from Synaptic), but the problem remains, the gui on the left is missing:

Ardour version:
Ardour 6.9.0~ds0
“After Bach”
(rev 6.9.0~ds0-1build1)
Intel 64-bit

This is the configuration:

I also tried reinstalling it, always from repository.
Maybe I did something wrong?

Thank you,

Do you maybe mean the Editor Mixer strip? If so, check under ‘View’’ in the top menu and see if ‘Show Editor Mixer’ is selected. It can also be toggled using the key command SHIFT+E.

Yes, it works. Thank you.
