# Help testing ardour was recently updated to v5. The package was updated just before Debian Import Freeze, and had at least one problem - which now is fixed, but not yet uploaded. There may be other problems. So, I'm asking for help with testing ardour and making sure we don't release a half finished package for yakkety.
# Installing the latest ardour Currently, you may only find the latest package in one of our testing PPAs. To add the PPA, do: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntustudio-dev/dev-testing You may test on either yakkety, or xenial (xenial package is currently building, but may fail). In both cases, just add the PPA, do a system upgrade, and start testing ardour. If xenial fails, and you don't have yakkety, here are some options: * Install Ubuntu Studio from a mini iso (will not add RT settings - use ubuntustudio-controls for that) * 64bit http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso * 32bit http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso * Do a full upgrade from xenial to yakkety with the command 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d', then add the PPA and install/upgrade ardour * In xenial, change xenial to yakkety in /etc/apt/sources.list, add the PPA, then install ardour (will mess up your system somewhat - so don't do this if you plan on using it further, but should be ok for testing ardour) # Running ardour If all else fails, run it from the terminal with the command 'ardour5' # Reporting bugs To report a bug, get yourself a launchpad account, if you haven't already. Then, from your system, run the command: ubuntu-bug ardour -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
