it has been a boon and a blessing
one issue, since upgrading to 17.04, the CALF plugins and instruments no longer work with ARDOUR5
freezes up, makes a weird buzzing noise
never happened before
i have sent error reports, but thought i would give a shout out
otherwise, thank you so much for this distro…

Same issue here. I can’t upgrade to 17.10 due to crashing of Ardour using Calf. I use Calf in all my projects. So I had to downgrade my system back to 16.10….

***ATTENTION***
@shaofu @marcellendi
The crashing of Ardour is apparently caused by calf-ladspa package… removing it fixes the problem.
Terminal Command: sudo apt-get purge calf-ladspa
Advise:
1- Purge(un-install) the whole Calf packages and Ardour
2- Add KXStudio PPA (Instructions on their site)
3- Install calf-plugins-git and Ardour from KXStudio’s repositories(PPA)
They have updated Ardour and Calf plugins.
Also another minor bug:
Youtube videos seems to stop working while jack is enabled, HTML5 playback also is no use.
Disabling jack while browsing fixes it.
