another note: jackd -d alsa did not crash, in fact I was able to start ardour and make and play back a simple recording.
At the time of the crash, no firewire audio device was plugged in. I don't actually own any device supported by freebob, I was trying to get the software loaded and configured before I arrange to borrow one... -- [apport] jackd crashed with SIGSEGV in start_thread() https://launchpad.net/bugs/89988 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
