"Ardour" vs "Ardour4"

Looks like the name/id does not match. (e.g Ardour starts as "ardour" but announces itself as "Ardour4")

Is that Ardour from ardour.org or from some distribution?

Some distros rename the binary. We've introduced an environment variable ARDOUR_SELF
(see the ardour startup script) with the hope to address this. Known variants include "ardour", "ardour4", "Ardour" and "Ardour4".

Do you have means to investigate this issue?

If so, could you try to edit the startup script (/usr/local/bin/Ardour or /usr/bin/ardour,.. ) and change the export ARDOUR_SELF="$0" line to

   export ARDOUR_SELF="`basename $0`"

or even

    export ARDOUR_SELF="Ardour4"
(or whatever the command is on your system)


Alternatively symlink the startup script e.g. sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ardour /usr/local/bin/Ardour4 and start it as "Ardour4" the first time.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm using an official binary downloaded from ardour.org.

  export ARDOUR_SELF="`basename $0`"
  export ARDOUR_SELF="Ardour4"

Both work perfectly. Many thanks!
