Package: ardour Version: 1:9.7.0+ds-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Some plugins, such as yoshimi, will fail to run in ardour under Wayland. The only real workaround for this is to force ardour to run in Xwayland under a wayland session by passing FLTK_BACKEND=x11 in the Exec= line. The only side-effect this has is that the application will no longer scale with Wayland, but ardour does its own scaling anyhow so this shouldn't be a factor.
