Have to force shutdown

If I go to my web browser and browse for a while with Ardour open and then return to the project it wont play or respond except to allow the close dialog. When I try to close it I get this message " Application “ardour” is not responding
You tried to close window “bricked - Ardour” from application “ardour” (Process ID: 47698) but the application is not responding.
Do you want to terminate this application?
Warning: Terminating the application will close all of its child windows. Any unsaved data will be lost.
Standard Ubuntu force quit lingo. How can I prevent the lock up?

Where did you get Ardour from?

What version of Ubuntu is this?

Which audio/MIDI backend selection did you make inside Ardour?

I got Ardour from the Ardour website as I am a supporter and have access. I have been waiting for a stable release of Ardour 7* and decided that by 7.3 most issues have been worked out. I emailed you previously and you suggested I do not install 7.0 and to wait for the bugs to be worked out, so I did. I was anxious to try the new features so when 7.3 came out I downloaded it and installed ,keeping 6.9 for safety. My Ubuntu is 22.04 studio LTS. I think not sure but ALSA is my midi back-end. I might have to open it again to be sure. This has happened on multiple occasions or I would not have mentioned it. I can live with this issue so it’s not a big deal to me . I just thought you might want to know what is happening. I do use Jack. I also would like to thank you for your dedication to the project.

I think I already posted this but, I got Ardour 6.9 with Ubuntu studio 22.04 . I got 7.3 from the Ardour website. I chose jack backend.

I haven’t experienced this since we’ll before V6 & 7. In the past, I would avoid switching from a JACK based app to Firefox and back but Ardour and Firefox seem to be coexisting on my current install (Kubuntu 22.04.2, KXStudio repos, JACK, Ardour 7.2). Is there a JACK add-on for your browser? I know there is for VLC, Audacious and Audacity, for example.

Does it also hang when you do not use JACK?

Just to rule out that this is is not the glibc 2.35 issue that some other Linux distros had in 2022: Ardour hanging at shutdown - #26 by x42

To answer your question I couldn’t say, I have never not used jack as I thought that it was the only option. The first part of the problem is the app won’t play. That’s why the shutdown is requested . Then the hang happens. So Ardour hangs when when left idle for a while. Then I shutdown.

That is exactly the case . I went browsing and came back to my project. Hope this info helps developers.
