Ardour works great with pipewire.

Only if you want *Professional-level* audio, are there issues, and only
on the edge of perfection. The setup is perfectly functional and valid,
unless you can't tolerate slight variations in latency. Most users don't
need this kind of accuracy.

Title:
  Ardour on Lunar crashes gnome-shell (for existing user)

Status in ardour package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Thanks for all your work.

  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
