This is worst-case scenario.  I'm quite sure that you haven't lost any data, since your symptoms sound identical to mine.  At any rate, 'hope someone can help you figure out the cause, so you don't have to resort to a backup->bare metal recovery!</blockquote></blockquote><div>  I do not remember saying that.  I have my /home folder backed up to an external drive.  I am not sure about how to use it in a new system. I have since made room for a clean install of the 64-bit version (goodbye 64 Studio and Musix) and have successfully installed it. I kept the old installation and I can boot both of them. Now suddenly the Ardour sessions on my Firewire audio drive don't open because I don't have the right permissions; efforts to change permissions, using the file browser a root, have been unsuccessful. My next step is to attempt it with command line tools, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Strangely, my old install also can't open them, with exactly the same errors, even though I did the original recordings with it.  I tested some just before installing the new system--they worked (through the cruddy onboard sound), now they don't. A Rosegarden session on the same drive loads fine; I didn't try recording anything. Other than not accessing most of my previous Ardour sessions, the new install works much better.  I can see my MIDI keyboard in JACK's ALSA tab, which I couldn't before.  I haven't gotten around to installing sound fonts to check out Q-synth yet. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Luis S?nchez de Posada wrote: Subject: Re: many problems after upgrade to Hardy (Luis SP) >AMD 64 2800+, 1GB, M-Audio Ozone Academic (USB keyboard/MIDI/audio >interface, originally bundled with Pro Tools M-Powered Academic bundle. >Kernel support added for this device in the main kernel tree, late 2007, >then integrated into the Hardy kernel) You should take a look to: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=148467" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=148467</a> I finally got my m-audio ozone working in hardy</blockquote><div> LOL I am *very* familiar with that thread.   I think we have met there; I post as Aurora on Ubuntu forums.  My first post on that thread was a year ago. The device works out-of-the-box with Hardy.  I haven't really tested it on this box, but on the MacBook I have recorded some MIDI with Rosegarden, just as a test. There are still realtime issues I have to fix before it is usable. --Paul </div></div> </div>
