Summary0008011: Ardour can't connect internal Ardour ports when using Jack.
DescriptionArdour can't connect internal Ardour ports (neither using Audio/Midi Connection Manager nor via Lua scripting) when using Jack Ardour Backend (both with ALSA and Dummy Jack backends), though I'm able to connect non-ardour ports.

When I'm using ALSA Ardour Backend - everything works fine.

At the same time, external patchbays (I tried Catia and Carla) can connect any Jack ports (even Ardour ones).


The strange thing is I have two machines with the same Ubuntu 18.04 64bit version and while everything works on my laptop - on the desktop the issue is 100% reproducible.

Both versions 5.12 (I tried a native build, Ubuntu and KXstudio ones) and 6.0.pre1 are affected.
Steps To ReproducePreparation:
=================
Install ardour

Run ardour with Jack/Dummy backend

Create a project


Patchbay way:
==================

Open Audio Connection Manager (or the midi one)

Try to click on the grid to connect two ports (at least one should be internal Ardour's)

Result:

The green circle doesn't appear and there's no connection


Lua scripting way:
===================

Open "Window->Scripting" window

insert smth like

function factory () return function ()
    
    a = Session:engine()
    sys = a:connect("system:capture_2", "system:playback_1")
    print (sys)

    int = a:connect("ardour:master/audio_out 1", "system:playback_1")
    print (int)
    
end end

push "Run" button

Result:

Two zeroes are printed (looks like everything's fine) but only the first (system) connection apperared

I tried to reproduce it with a clean new user - looks like it works now, sorry for disturbing
