Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#New_upstream_microreleases. Either the "upstream QA process must be documented/demonstrated and linked from the SRU tracking bug" and meet the quality requirements in our policy, or you need to track and verify every bugfix you're trying to land here. ** Changed in: carla (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: In Progress => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to carla in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969798 Title: [SRU] Carla can't find plugins in plugin directories located in the user's home Status in carla package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in carla source package in Jammy: Incomplete Status in carla source package in Kinetic: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Users of Carla are unable to refresh audio plugins when more are installed, i.e. in the user's home directory. Furthermore, this can cause Carla to crash. [Test Plan] * Launch Carla * Click "Add Plugin" * Click "Refresh" * Click "Scan" Expected: Carla will scan for new plugins and find them. Actual: Carla does not scan for plugins, and may crash. [Where problems could occur] * This may simply cause a regression in Carla in which save files may cease to load or other issues with plugins loading, however this is highly unlikely. [Other Info] Originally the plan for this SRU was to upload a patched version of Carla 2.4.2 which did not work as planned. 2.4.3 FTBFS when uploaded to Kinetic, as did 2.4.4 when uploaded to a PPA built against Kinetic. Eventually, it was proven that 2.4.4 would build cleanly in Jammy and introduces essential bugfixes, including this fix as well as fixes Python 3.10 compatibility issues that were merely patched before. It is to be noted that this upstream version does *NOT* introduce any new features, and the upstream developer was aware that any fixes he made in this release could not introduce new features and could only introduce bugfixes. As stated from the changelog, these bugfixes, including the one in this SRU, include: * Fix inaccurate MIDI CC rounding * Fix python3.10 compatibility issues * Fix integration with internal Qt toolbar visibility state From a usability standpoint, these are essential fixes in functionality. It is also to be noted that the upstream developer primarily develops on focal for focal and bionic and was unaware of the primary issue until it was brought to his attention, but could not work it until he had a docker image of jammy in a stable release. It was at that point he discovered the other issues. For that reason, I do apologize for the large diff, and I hope this is a good explanation for that and the bugs fixes covered in the diff. Rather than filing separate bug reports for each of these, I'd rather get it all taken care of with at once here. - Erich Eickmeyer Original bug report as follows: ------ In the LV2 location in my home directory .lv2 I have the following plugin: ➜ ls ~/.lv2 librnnoise_lv2.so ${HOME}/.lv2 is configured in Carla as a search path. In the Add Plugin dialog for Carla if I search for noise nothing shows up. This worked fine previously on 21.10.
