This is a packaging problem on Ubuntu's part. Apparently their version of 2.7.1 also does this as well so they still haven't fixed it. At any rate recently someone found a working version of 2.7.1 on getdeb that worked MUCH better, I suggest going there. Sadly until whoever maintains the package on Ubuntu's repos fixes the problem(There has been a bug report in on it for some time) this is probably your best option.<br>

Ardour users,<br><br>I've just installed UbuntoStudio in my laptop, that includs Ardour. However, I can't open an audio file on it (Ardour 2.5, built from revision 3525) because it seems that there is no way to do it!<br>
I supposed that I should open a sound file in the Session menu. In this menu there is an option called Import (Alt I), I think it is the only option to open an existing sound file (at least in this Session Menu I have). When I clic on it, a window opens with some strange layout offering no option to choose any sound file in the computer or elsewhere. I guess there is a bug.<br>
I wonder if someone knows how to fix this in order for this program to be able to open a sound file.<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br><br>Amaro Borges<br>Santa Maria, RS - Brasil<br><br><br><br></td></tr></tbody></table><br>
