  informing me whenever I launched ardour.
 
 Right, I'm no GTK expert, so I asked from the bug squad for some
 assistance. Looks like you should file a bug against libcanberra. But the
 squad wants to know, is this an amd64 or i386 machine?
 
 Thanks for the info! Hope you have patience still to help us resolve the
 issue.

Hello!

My machine is amd64. However I noticed the following message of Ardour 
regarding the canberra-gtk-module when I launch it from the terminal (in bold 
relative with the specific module): 

alex@Kubuntu-pc:~$ ardour2

As it is mentioned, Ardour tries to load it but can' find it since I have 
uninstalled it. But if I try to install it, then Ardour will not launch at 
all. 

So, I can' figure out what is happening here, but since I can work with Ardour 
then this is not a big deal! If you have any more information on this, I would 
love to hear it! If you need any more information, I am at your disposal. 
Thank you once again!

Goodmorning,

I made a memtest all night but it found no errors to my memories.

Also there are these files in the /dev/shm folder. Could you explain why should 
I remove all pusle files? Do they cause any conflict with the programm?  

alex@Kubuntu-pc:/dev/shm$ ls

pulse-shm-949059306

Furthermore, I get this on my terminal when I run qjack and it runs perfectly. 
Can you find something suspicious here?

Is your disk full?  df -h should tell you.

You may also want to remove the .deb that is cached in
/var/cache/apt/archive before you reinstall.

Is there anything in /var/log/syslog that shows up at the same time
you try to run ardour?

You wouldn't happen to be over-clocking this computer would you?

 Goodmorning,
 
 I made a memtest all night but it found no errors to my memories.

That's why I mentioned to check the RAMs by trail and error, disassemble
and mount back again, one after the other.

I've got 4GB RAM on a 2.1 dual-core machine, I need to run the test 24
hours or longer, just running it some hours I'll might get just a few
passes.

Did you upgrade packages for plugins? Perhaps a plugin is broken?

I would launch ardour2 and jackd (not qjackctl) in separated terminal
emulations.

And again a '...fault' is better than just an app that quits without a
'...fault', because you can get a core dump.

I don't remember what exactley to do, fortunetly I didn't need it for a
lng time, AFAIR you need to run

sudo ulimit -c [some value]

and then

gdm ardour2 [something_else]

but I might be completely wrong ;), please google yourself, I'm short in
time, sorry.

Hth,

Ralf

Re: Ardour Segmentation fault- won't start at all!

2011-05-30 Thread Alexandros Bitoulas
Allright guys, 

I have just fixed the problem...with a trial and error method! 

I started unistalling one-by-one the packages that I have installed the last 3 
days and I kept testing if ardour could launch each time I uninstalled 
something.

When I uninstalled pavucontrol ardour launched perfectly!! I also 
uninstalled with autoremove libcanberra-gtk-module and libcanberra-gtk0 
that pavucontrol automatically installed and which might caused the problem in 
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4, as syslog was informing me whenever I launched 
ardour.

Thank you all for your help and time!

Best regards,

Alex

  No, my disks are not full, I just checked them.
  
   You may also want to remove the .deb that is cached in

  I tried it, but no improvement.
  
   Is there anything in /var/log/syslog that shows up at the same time

  But yes, I found this on syslog whenever I try to run ardour:

  can I see which particularly plugins I have installed in order to remove

I have no clue. If I'm not mistaken, none of the packages that provide that file
has changed recently.

To make sure, could you:

$ dpkg -S libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4

...and then run `ls -l full_path_to_each_occurences' and post the results
here. For example, here's what my system shows:

jaska@ardbeg 02:12:21 ~$ dpkg -S libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4
libgtk2.0-0: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4
ia32-libs: /usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4
jaska@ardbeg 02:12:44 ~$ ll /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4461064 2011-04-14 21:15

 Thank you all! Any ideas?  

I have no idea how those plugins might have affected such a library, but better
safe than sorry. You can check your dpkg log at: /var/log/dpkg.log

It should be quite obvious if you start from the bottom end, you should see the
latest installed packages.

Might even give us a look, unless you have anything you don't wanna share with
us :) by:

$ tail -20 /var/log/dpkg.log

try reinstalling ardour... there should be an .ardour2 directory in your

How did you do the reinstall?  Try purging the current install and
then reinstall Ardour.

I had similar issues with Ardour once that turned out to be a bad
stick of RAM.  You may want to consider running memtest on your
computer.

I just did:

sudo apt-get remove ardour and then sudo apt-get autoremove for removing. 

After that I did sudo apt-get install ardour.

How can I purge the current install? With which command? :)

Thanks,

Then you could try running strace on the application.

$ strace ardour2

It should show what system call ends up crashing the application.

 I will try a memtest... 

That's a good thing too, but if you do not have problems elsewhere, might give
strace a shot first. Though, as Gustin implied, his RAM problem appeared only on
using ardour, so... Who knows. :)

Hi,

Also, take a look at /dev/shm

ls -l /dev/shm

You might need a

rm -f /dev/shm/pulse*

 I had similar issues with Ardour once that turned out to be a bad
 stick of RAM.  You may want to consider running memtest on your

+1 if you can't find any software issue,

but don't run memtest, disassemble and mount the RAMs again. If you've
got several RAMs, remove just one after the other. It could be that for
non-audio work most of your RAM isn't needed, but audio streams might
need much more RAM.

Do you get any additional output, when you launch ardour2 and jackd in a
terminal emulation?

A core dump might be useful too, if you get a segfault.
