I am now no longer running Ubuntustudio 16.04 and have 18.04. Aeolus just
runs with no problem. However, I can not say the same for patchage. When I
try to connect aeolus to my keyboard or an output patchage gives an error
and shows no connection. However, If I then look at connections using
qjackctl, those connections seem to have been made after all.

In truth I had given up on patchage because I had trouble with it crashing
at odd times. In fact that may have been in US 16.04. while there has been
activity in patchage git, the release the package is based on is some
years old (1.0.0 in 2014). It may be that some lib patchage relies on has
changed enough to cause the odd problem but not enough to stop building.
