For the life of me, I can't figure this one out. I've removed and reinstalled Ardour5 via apt 3 or 4 times now, and it does this every time. It keeps crashing when I start the app because it can't find the color definitions files.

Note - if I do a complete unistall, and apt purge/clean all the leftovers out, and install Ardour5.12.0-x86_64.run from their website, it runs correctly. However, if I install it while the apt version is installed, it does the same thing the apt version does.

If I do a full removal of all and any associated files, then reinstall the apt version, it still donks out.

I've tried strace-ing it, and nothing makes sense. When it stats the files, it reports that they're all there. However, when it attempts to open any of the files, it reports that the file is missing.

If I change the reference of which color profile to use. inside default_ui_config:

# dir: /etc/ardour5/default_ui_config

# and change this:

<Option name="color-file" value="dark"/>

# to this (which is another available theme):

<Option name="color-file" value="Blueberry Milk"/>

Then Ardour5 will pull through and start a window. But a very odd window. It will open WITHOUT a color profile. Let me explain this - because I think it smells of being important. So, the original theme; "dark" references the file dark-ardour.colors while the new value: "Blueberry Milk" references the file blueberry_milk-ardour.colors
There is, absolutely zero differences between these two files. They both have the same owner/group, and they're both set 644. They're in the exact same location and the xml formation within each is identical to the other aside from the values.

That all being the case. When default_ui_config is set to use "dark" nothing loads and the file "dark-ardour.color" cannot be found - BUT - when default_ui_config is set to use "Blueberry Milk", Ardour will spawn a window - BUT, strace insists that even thought the window's running, /usr/share/ardour5/themes/blueberry_milk-ardour.colors CANNOT be found. Let that sink in for a second. Nothing about anything that is happening is making any sense.

Now, when we are set to use blueberry_milk, the window that spawns is in a very unique mode of operation, which the Ardour developers tell me, is called: "Harley Quinn Debug" mode. There is no color profile - each element that derives its color from the theme is a randomly chosen super bright color that changes whenever the element is interacted with. This is so not ideal.

Here's a side-note that might be important - but could very well simply be circumstantial. This started happening after I installed the Ubuntu Studio's new KDE/Plasma desktop they've been touting for their release of 18.10.

It did not work - Plasma kept crashing and having all sorts of issues. So now I'm back with XFCE. So my quite possibly wrong guess is that this has something to do with GTK2 and/or something having to do with my attempt to get KDE running.

Is this happening to anybody else? If so - how did you manage to fix it? I am at a total and utter loss.

Here is the readout when simply trying to run Ardour5 cli:

and it just hangs there, so I have to eventually ctrl+z. The one thing that's noteworthy are these two lines:

Color shuttle bg not found

ardour: [INFO]: Loading color file /usr/share/ardour5/themes/dark-ardour.colors

"shuttle bg" is a setting in each of the *ardour.colors files. And it exists perfectly in each of these perfectly accessible files:

[Sun Feb 10:18:20:08]

ender@GLITCH:/usr/share/ardour5/themes[$]grep 'shuttle bg' ./*

./blueberry_milk-ardour.colors:    <ColorAlias name="shuttle bg" alias="color 4"/>

./caineville-ardour.colors:    <ColorAlias name="shuttle bg" alias="color 4"/>

./cubasish-ardour.colors:    <ColorAlias name="shuttle bg" alias="color 4"/>

./dark-ardour.colors:    <ColorAlias name="shuttle bg" alias="color 4"/>

./unastudia-ardour.colors:      <ColorAlias name="shuttle bg" alias="color 4"/>

which is also quite well defined within each of these files:

[Sun Feb 10:18:22:17]

ender@GLITCH:/usr/share/ardour5/themes[$]grep 'name="color 4"' ./*

./blueberry_milk-ardour.colors:    <Color name="color 4" value="0x717171ff"/>

./caineville-ardour.colors:    <Color name="color 4" value="0x000000ff"/>

./clear_gray-ardour.colors:    <Color name="color 4" value="0x000000ff"/>

./cubasish-ardour.colors:    <Color name="color 4" value="0x000000ff"/>

./dark-ardour.colors:    <Color name="color 4" value="0x000000ff"/>

./unastudia-ardour.colors:      <Color name="color 4" value="0x000000ff"/>

So, I've picked through (rather laboriously) the strace of this mess. The most significant find - and I'm so far from being a strace expert - but where things seem to choke up starts here. It looks like it gets the pixmap theme engine, and starts running through elements from the Breeze theme. It rolls through every element (though I didn't post that mess here) doesn't find it in directory A, but gets it from directory B. And then it rolls this little bit (I am so sorry for the length, I trimmed it down as much as I could without getting rid of something I wasn't sure about)
