I just did (with the "Free/Demo" version), and it works perfectly (with the same session/jack configuration). However, experimenting a bit more... the packaged ardour5 works too. But if I downgrade to 4.7, it will now segfault :-) So I understood what's going on (but now why): if you install the package for version 4 or 5, it will work. But if you upgrade/downgrade from a version 4 to 5 or vice-versa, the folder in /usr/share (e.g. /usr/share/ardour4) will keep its name, with the result that the new version will not find the required files. For instance, I now have a version 4.7 installed with a /usr/share/ardour5 folder (not appearing in the output of "dpkg -L ardour", by the way). Uninstalling and reinstalling the desired version "fixes" the issue. Pietro
