Ardour post:
Hi,
I’ve been using ardour off and on for about 4 years, and I just downloaded and built ardour2-beta10 today. I’m running Ubuntu Edgy, and the build process went fine. Additionally, after starting ardour2 up and looking at it, I’ve gone from a casual user to a rabid fan. This is some of the coolest software I’ve used on any platform.
Of course, I’m here to talk about the problems I’m having. First, I can ardour 0.99 to send MMC/MTC to an external hardware device to start a bunch of MIDI sequences rolling when I press “play”. I can’t seem to get that to work with ardour2. I have all the settings at the same values (use MMC, Sync to JACK, etc.) but it won’t work. I’ve used the “trace sequencer MIDI output” option, and nothing appears on stdout like it does when I use the “trace control MIDI output” option. I’m guessing this is just not turned on yet or something?
The other (more serious problem): Although I can start ardour2, record, edit, etc., when I save a session and try to re-open it, ardour2 dies with a segfault. The odd thing is, it seems like I can open a saved project a couple of times before the problem occurs. I’ve tried this with a couple of different projects, and get the same results.
Nothing appears on stdout when I open projects that cause it to crash, other than the “Segmentation fault” error at the end.
Here’s the backtrace I got from running ardour2 in gdb:

This may be a simple compile option issue or something, I don’t know. Any insights would be appreciated. I’m in the process of recording 6 songs for a client, and I’m spoiled now that I’ve used ardour2 and don’t want to go back to the crusty-looking old version.
