No, my disks are not full, I just checked them.

I tried it, but no improvement.

But yes, I found this on syslog whenever I try to run ardour: 

May 31 00:40:18 Kubuntu-pc kernel: [19300.148249] ardour-2.8.11[4134]: 
segfault at 50 ip 00007f3d8b788d1c sp 00007fff7c3d4f80 error 4 in libgtk-
x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4[7f3d8b599000+436000]

Could somebody guess what to do with this? Should I try reinstalling 
something?

Also, I just remembered that the day that the problem started with ardour I 
had installed 3 gstreamer plugins that the system notified me to do in order to 
optimize Amarok's performance. It described them as ugly, bad and super bad 
correspondingly as far as I can remember. Do you think that it could have 
something to do with ardour not launching? If yes how can I see which 
particularly plugins I have installed in order to remove them?

Thank you all! Any ideas?  

Alex
