Jack in running and it works fine with other applications. I'm using the package from extra that is the 2.5 version, I've compiled ardour 2.7 but i got the same error when running it.

Re: Ardour Segmentation Fault

Same problem here, is it possible that a recent update is conflicting with ardour? Since some weeks ago it was working seamlessy.

Does anyone can help? Is it possible to debug a segmentation fault?

Re: Ardour Segmentation Fault

I solved it, I think it's a bug in Ardour, but maybe could be also Arch related (someone wants to try it on other distros?), in fact to get Ardour starting you absolutely need the hostname "localhost" configured in /etc/hosts.

For example this is my currently working /etc/hosts

# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>

#HOSTNAME (the same of rc.conf)
127.0.0.1               arch.localdomain   arch

#ardour workaround
127.0.0.2               localhost.localdomain   localhost

# End of file
