-<h2>Problems with Ardour Packages</h2>

-<dl>
-<dt>What is the problem?</dt>
-<dd>
-<p>
- It is not possible to know whether the current package of Ardour
- released by Ubuntu has been correctly built or not. Ubuntu has a
- history of making packaging errors that lead to crashes, missing
- functionality and odd behaviour that is not present in the
- ready-to-run version of the program that you can get from a
- href="http://ardour.org/download">ardour.org</a> (or in the packages
- released by other distributions)
-</p>
-<dt>Symptoms</dt>
-<dd>
-<p>
- Ardour starts up and basically runs, but you encounter subtle
- problems (for example, with plugin GUIs or with export, or with the
- use of certain specific plugins), or are missing functionality, or
- run into crashes.

-<dt>How to Fix</dt>
-<dd>
-<p>
- Download the ready-to-run version
- from <a href="http://ardour.org/download">ardour.org</a>. Ardour's
- lead developer (and many of the most active members of our user
- community) will not provide support for, and will not investigate
- bugs reported for, Ubuntu's own packages of Ardour. The ardour.org
- packages install along side your distribution versions, and do not
- interfere or interact in anyway other than sharing your own personal
- Ardour settings and configuration choices.

+<h2>Installing Ardour</h2>
+ There may be unintended differences, and even bugs in Ubuntu native
+ packages, as a result of a different building method. For this reason,
+ Ardour developers highly recommend you to install the official
+ ready-to-run version of the program that you can get from <a
+ href="http://ardour.org/download">ardour.org</a>, as Ubuntu native
+ packages are not supported in official Ardour forums or other
+ support channels.
