Hi RNC,

1/ base system linux distro: debian (13, Trixie, aka 'testing')

2/ both ardour8 and drumkv1-lv2 come from debian packages. Exact package versions are:

ardour 1:8.6.0+ds-1

drumkv1-lv2 0.9.90-1

3/ ardour sessions are stored in a specific directory under my home, sample filles are all stored in a different directory under my home

4/ unfortunately, I do not see anything special on ardour stdout. I don't see anything related to drumkv1 or the loading of samples (or failure to) from drumkv1

5/ i don't know for other users, i will try to search ardour's forums

I retried with a simple test case (with ardour started from terminal to be able to check stdout/stderr):

• start ardour on a new empty sessions
• add one track with drumkv1
• add a kick, clap, hh, with a simple one bar loop and a few effects from drumkv1
• store the session
• quit ardour
• restart ardour on this session
• all 3 samples lost from drumkv1

Then I go in the session directory to have a look, i see the plugins subdirectory where I assume plugins state are stored. here is the content of that directory:

$ ls -R plugins/
plugins/:
291

plugins/291:
state1  state2  state3  state4

plugins/291/state1:
 manifest.ttl   state.ttl  'VEH1 Hard Kick - 001.wav'

plugins/291/state2:
 manifest.ttl   state.ttl  'VEH1 Closed Hihat - 15.wav'  'VEH1 Hard Kick - 001.wav'  'VEH1 Snares & Claps - 022.wav'

plugins/291/state3:
 manifest.ttl   state.ttl  'VEH1 Closed Hihat - 07.wav'  'VEH1 Hard Kick - 001.wav'  'VEH1 Snares & Claps - 022.wav'

plugins/291/state4:
 manifest.ttl   state.ttl  'VEH1 Closed Hihat - 07.wav'  'VEH1 Hard Kick - 001.wav'  'VEH1 Snares & Claps - 022.wav'

All sound files are actually relative symlinks to other symlinks in the externals directory of the session, which in turn are relative symlinks to the actual files. Eg.:

$ ls -al plugins/291/state4/

I don't know if this information can be useful?
