Dear Jonas,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
That's interesting. Of course, I have cleaned up the ~/.config/ardour4
and ~/.config/ardour5 directories before submitting the first report,
and it didn't help.
However indeed, when I logged in as another user, ardour started correctly.
I have dumped the whole strace output with : "strace -o
/tmp/ardour_strace.txt ardour5"
And then I've checked what config files are read before the first
access("/usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/widgets/../assets/check-unchecked.png",
F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
The problematic file was:
open("/home/wzab/.gtkrc-2.0", O_RDONLY) = 11
with the following content:
=======================
include "/usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font"
{
font_name="Noto Sans Regular"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="Noto Sans Regular 10"
gtk-theme-name="Breeze"
gtk-icon-theme-name="breeze"
gtk-fallback-icon-theme="gnome"
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-button-images=1
=======================
After I have renamed that file to "/home/wzab/.gtkrc-2.0.deleted" , the
problem disappeared.
So the problem probably indeed is not ardour related (however I don't
know why only ardour suffers from that).
Regards,
Wojtek
PS. Is it possible that
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=874598 is caused by
the same problem?
