What version am I running and why is Ardour not loading....

Hi, I followed the instructions (or so I thought ;-)) to upgrade to the latest stable release, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I am running beta 3.0. Here is output from a couple of commands: music@64studio:~$ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.21-1-multimedia-amd64 (Debian 2.6.21-2) (waldi@debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Fri Jun 22 00:00:33 UTC 2007 music@64studio:~$ cat /etc/issue Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 \n \l music@64studio:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny) Release: 5.0 Codename: lenny So it looks like Lenny to me. Can someone confirm what I am running? Ardour does not seem to be here and when I try and install the 'etch' version in Synaptics I get the following error message: Depends: liblo0 but it is not going to be installed And if I try and uninstall liblo0 it wants to uninstall tons of software I want to keep. Can someone point me in the right direction to get ardour to load. I'm not bothered about a bleeding edge test version of 64studio, so if its 'easy' enough to get back to a stable release (if I'm not already on it) that would be preferable. Thanks, Steve

You hit the nail on the head - the mist has now cleared and I understand where I went wrong! a definite PICNIC error (Problem in Chair, not in Computer). Thanks, Steve

Going back

Check your repositories... it probably has "stable" in stead of "etch" somewhere... So it upgraded to lenny. Going back is very hard. Make a backup of your home folder and other important files and install 2.1 again. Check repositories and make sure "etch" is in there, and not "stable" 3.0 is taking a bit longer to release because of OEM work. Cheers, Quentin
