Re: [arch-general] Ardour 5 - Was: What's with Ray Rashif?
Sorry guys, it took a lot of offline time for me to get back on my feet as RL got in the way (detached myself from the outside world while I was writing my thesis). I pushed ardour to testing and will move to extra shortly. The other OOD packages will follow.

Re: [arch-general] Ardour 5 - Was: What's with Ray Rashif?
Oops, I forgot ... Good luck! I hope you get rid of the "full panic mode", since its a counterproductive mode. A bug reported a long time ago to upstream, but upstream seems to be dead. OTOH perhaps upstream is still alive, but doesn't care about bug reports from atheists. If so, an agnostic or believer should report the bug, too.
Re: [arch-general] Ardour 5 - Was: What's with Ray Rashif?
Hi Ray, first I experienced issues with Ardour 5, but when using it again, everything I used worked without issues. I didn't use export and apart from this, I anyway build jack2 from git, so when using jack2, it still might require to build jack2 from git, regarding a freewheel issue. I don't know. At least the issues I experienced seems to be random problems. Regards, Ralf

Ralf, David Thanks guys for all the info you have been sharing, I got sloppy again and went into full panic mode in preparation for my master's thesis and subsequent defense (19th).

I couldn't reproduce this (also because there was a lack of information on what actually happened). Would it be possible to push Ardour 5.5 now? There's plenty of help and updates in the rest of this mail thread. We're nearly a year behind by now. Arch used to be bleeding edge...

IIRC there was an issue with ardour's freewheeling export and jack2. I
don't remember exactly which commit fixed the issue.
I don't know what kuind of issue I've got. Ardour crashed, when testing
my new USB audio interface, so I continued testing with Qtractor. I've
got no time to check why Ardour crashed.

Okay. What kind of issues are those supposed to be though, and what exactly is your issue with ardour + jack2? I have been using this version without any problems on my internal and external hardware with many different clients (amongst them ardour4 and ardour5), which is why I'm wondering. > > [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q jack2 > jack2 1.9.10.r202.gf2ece24-1 Is that jack2-git from AUR? > [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /usr/share/applications/ardour.desktop > [Desktop Entry] > Name=Ardour I'd also be totally up for dropping the version number!

Re: [arch-general] Ardour 5 - Was: What's with Ray Rashif?
PS: My apologies for my short reply, I'm busy at the moment. If I have got more time again, I anyway will try to use Ardour 5 again. Assuming it should be unstable, I perhaps won't spend much time in troubleshooting, but at least would try to find out how to reproduce the crash and at least run Ardour from command line. However, building Ardour is time-consuming, so I unlikely will find time to rebuild it with debug symbols.
