[Ardour-Users] Ardour 2 + Ubuntu segfault

[Hakan Koseoglu]

Hi all,

I have an interesting problem here.

I have an (slightly) modified Kubuntu laptop (64 bit, 11.04) where 
ardour2 segfaults immediately at startup. Funnily enough I thought I had 
the same problem on an other Kubuntu laptop here (which is a lot less 
modified with no extra PPAs), well that was crashing as well but with a 
different issue which was resolved after uninstalling 
libcanberra-gtk-module.

It looks like it doesn't like something in the lv2 stack but I haven't 
managed to figure out yet!

Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

dmesg snippet:
[ 8581.989666] ardour-2.8.11[14694]: segfault at 8 ip 00007fadf6869730
sp 00007fff78248030 error 4 in libslv2.so.9.2.0[7fadf6861000+c000]

I ran it through valgrind and here's the bit where it falls over:
