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?

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

Status in ardour package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

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
