crash while opening project

Hi All,

I have an Ardour project with several tracks of audio.  All has been going well until today when I was working on it.  Ardour crashed while recording and now Ardour will not open the file.  It just crashes on the "Please wait while Ardour loads your session" screen.
Can someone point me in the right direction to solving this problem and being able to open the file again?
Is there a log file I can look at to diagnose the problem?

Thanks!

If you start Ardour from the command line, then you can see some
diagnostic messages in the window where you start Ardour.

G'luck....

Hi,

Ardour version: ardour-2.3.1-3.fc8

The file was created and has only been used with this version of Ardour.

When I start Ardour from the terminal and try to open the file I get

Reinstall pango and fonts, in this case the dejavu family. Pango can't open that font for whatever reason, one of them possibly being the fact that the path is not the same - in which case you would either copy or symlink.

>> /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

I don't think the problem is with the font since all the other ardour projects I was working on that day still open (presumable with the pango font) and work fine

Hey All,

I'm getting this error again as a project I have invested a lot of time in will no longer open.  Has anyone seen this before?
I have had a few other instances of projects not opening and spitting out his error but they always seem to open after a few attempts.  This time the project just won't open.  Does this give any clue?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
