Ok. Thanks for the Info. Seems that I have to live with it.

Hi, ater a regular update last week, I get the following errormessage in Ardour: [ERROR]: LV2: Failed to instantiate plugin http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/eq5 [ERROR]: Found a reference to a plugin ("http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/eq5") that is unknown. The plugins are still ther...

I'm gonna have a look on LXDE-Qt, when it is ready.

It looks promising to me.

No need to apologize.
Thanks for doing all that for us.

I think it is also a matter of taste. I prefer KDE. On laptop and desktop. I think it's the most flexible DE.

Maybe you shoud try kxstudio. kxstudio.sourceforge.net I think you can also inatall the repos in Mint

I like it!

Search for 'gitedit' in muon package manager. Not in software catalogue. It should be there

What I heard: the gui is on cairo canvas now.

Good pictures! Thanks for sharing.

I'm working with 4.0 Beta. No crashes in Midi 'til now. Everything is much more stable.

You also don't need pulseaudio in the first place.
Maybe make a simple check. Start a simple jackaware player (e.g. audacious) an connect the outputs with your system outsputs (use catia).
start some mp3 in the player. Can you hear anything?

You dont't need claudia in the first place (until your problems are solved).
An easy way to make your audo setup is the tool 'cadence'. (Or maybe qjackctl)
Go to cadence:
Is jack running? You can see this in the upper right corner. If not start it.

Check the following:
Go to Cadence --> config: See if jack is started with the correct soundcard.
Go to terminal and type 'alsmixer' --> Check if all output faders are up.

Check what is the jack-transport master. Ardour or Hydrogen. Not both.
Try what is better in your case. Let Ardour be tranport-master or hydrogen.
