Ah, got caught by a stale refresh of the page (after a crash). This bug is not Ardour's and not really pipewire's, it's Ubuntu's. You have a desktop program crashing the desktop. If it were Ardour crashing that would be one thing; if it were pipewire that would be another. Here *gnome-shell* aka the login session crashes. That's not supposed to happen.
Is there no way to sandbox the session, to catch the crash of a session by a user app? ~adrian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to ardour in Ubuntu.

I am running ardour with a low-latency kernel and via the command: pw-jack ardour which has been working in kinetic and ardour6. After upgrade to lunar and ardour7, this causes a crash of gnome-shell (aka the display) for my user but not for a new user. Recently, I upgraded to lunar from a partition that has been updated from hirsuite. I also installed lunar from scratch (iso) on another partition. (I have done this on 2 separate machines, both lenovo tiny, one m710q the other m720q.) If I create a new, empty user. I can run ardour without issues. However, when I try to run ardour from my home directory (with lots of legacy) which is mounted on another partition, when ardour runs, it takes down gnome-shell. Crash, then presented a login screen. There should be an automated submission of gnome-shell crashes for a machine with the characteristics of this machine (lenovo tiny) in the auto-submitted pool. I have tried, without success: rm /etc/ardour* rm /usr/share/ardour* rm .config/ardour* pw-jack ardour also I tried apt purge ardour ardour-data ardour-lv2-plugins ardour-video-timeline apt install ardour ardour-data ardour-lv2-plugins ardour-video-timeline pw-jack ardour but the problem persists. I would be glad to provide more info, but don't know how to catch gnome-shell as it crashes in a gdb session or some such. cheers, ~adrian ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 23.04 Package: ardour 1:7.3.0+ds0-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.2.0-1003.3-lowlatency 6.2.6 Uname: Linux 6.2.0-1003-lowlatency x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.26.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Apr 22 12:01:46 2023 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-11-14 (524 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" - Release amd64 (20210420) SourcePackage: ardour UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ardour/+bug/2017355/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs Post to : ubuntustudio-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
