Ardour 2.8.1 PPC refuses to launch

Ardour 2.8.1 PPC refuses to launch.

I fully deleted Ardour 2.8.
I do not have LADSPA VST Bridge.
Jack os x 0.82 is running.

No problem to launch Ardour 2.8

Thanks in advance for help.

Best regards.

Okay, I’ve had similar problems (Mac OS X 10.4.11, PPC): Installed JackOSX.0.82 and Ardour 2 2.8.1/5337. Ardour would not start—didn’t even register on the console.

…and, yes, the solution was to unpack the Ardour file with StuffIt Expander.

Han

Console window output?

i have the same situation, the odd thing is there’s NO console output.

i believe i have libcurl, or at least these are on my system:
/usr/lib/libcurl.2.dylib
/usr/lib/libcurl.3.0.0.dylib
/usr/lib/libcurl.3.dylib
/usr/lib/libcurl.4.0.0.dylib
/usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib
/usr/lib/libcurl.dylib
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc
etc.

my machine is a dual 450 g4 10.4.11 fully software updated.

i have run earlier versions of ardour2, but have removed the apps and also the config files in my home directory.

Thanks Paul for prompt reply.
Same for me as bsack: NO console output…

Console output means that you open Applications -> Utilities -> Console as described in http://ardour.org/first_time_osx_native

If you see no sign of Ardour there when you try to start it up, then your system is totally broken. If you do see some output relating to Ardour, then that would be useful.

yes, i know what Console is and i am used to seeing some console output when earlier versions of ardour have started.

for instance: this is what console reports when the old version of ardour starts (yes i removed the new one and reinstalled 2.7):

Hmm. I just downloaded Ardour 2.8.1 (Built from 5337) from the website and ran it with Rosetta here and I am getting it to open on OS X 10.5(Of course there are other issues preventing me from doing a more thorough test other than to confirm it appears to be working due to running it via Rosetta)

I believe it gets packaged on 10.4 if memory serves.

Let us try two things just in case. Both in the Terminal. Open up a Terminal.app and move your ardour config directory to the side with this command…

mv .ardour2 .ardour-old

Note the periods before those directory names. Then try to relaunch Ardour and see if it works for you.

If that doesn’t work stay in the terminal and run the following…

open /Applications/Ardour2.app

Assuming of course your Ardour2 is in your applications directory. See if this makes a difference or gives you some output either in the Terminal or on the Console.app

Thanks.

By the way, I should mention both of those suggestions are complete shot in the darks that I don’t really expect to work based off what you have said so far. As Paul said, there is more than likely something fundamentally wrong with your system.

Which also rings a bell, the only other time I have seen something like this there was something ver wrong with the system, but in every case that it happened, which was on 10.4 on PPC, there was one very obvious symptom. Do you have a working Terminal.app in your Applications/Utilities folder?

If you do not, which I am starting to suspect, the issue was no something you did, it was related to a failed update courtesy of Apple. It happened to me a couple of times, and there seemed to be no pattern to it. It also affected OS X’s ability to run any scripts, which if you notice it needs to do to actually start Ardour, the script is what is actually launched in the .app which in turn launches the binary after some setup work.

To Paul:

My system is fully updated and operational. I’m running Logic Pro 8.0.2 + Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 at the same time without problem.

To seablade:

  • As Ardour 2.8.1 doesn’t launch, I obviously have no .ardour folder
  • Trying to open Ardour 2.8.1 via terminal doesn’t help
  • If there is something fundamentally wrong with my system, how can I run Logic Pro 8.0.2, Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2, Photoshop CS3 10.0.1, etc… and even Toast 10.0.2 supposed to work only on Leopard…
    Everything is working fine in my system, including Terminal.app and … Ardour 2.8

- If there is something fundamentally wrong with my system, how can I run Logic Pro 8.0.2, Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2, Photoshop CS3 10.0.1, etc... and even Toast 10.0.2 supposed to work only on Leopard... Everything is working fine in my system, including Terminal.app and ... Ardour 2.8

Unlike the other poster, you at least have output on the console, so it isn’t the same issue.

Besides what I was posting about wouldn’t affect most, if any, of those programs(Other than obviously Terminal.app;)

Are you using Ardour to start Jack? And are you opening a session or creating a new one?

As Ardour 2.8.1 doesn't launch, I obviously have no .ardour folder

You should have one from Ardour 2.8 assuming those messages were from the same system. It gets created automatically by Ardour, and has been for quite some time.

   Seablade

What I did:

  • Launched Jack 0.82 and then Ardour 2.8 creating new session
  • Recorded a piece of audio
  • Saved session
  • Closed Ardour 2.8
  • Closed Jack

fully uninstalled Ardour 2.8 (including .ardour folder) as recommended by Paul in OS X instructions<<

  • Copied Ardour2.app (2.8.1) in Applications folder
  • Launched Jack 0.82 and then Ardour 2.8.1: no success with Ardour 2.8.1

Rgds.

@ptrubert: crazy. Is there a time when we/I can get you on IRC? What timezone are you in?

BTW, please note that the OS X install instructions do not suggest that you uninstall older versions of Ardour, merely the ~/.ardour2 folder that may be used. Because of the current state of the download system, you can’t easily re-download 2.8. Different versions of Ardour are totally independent of each other except for interactions via ~/.ardour2.

@ptrubert: if we can’t get you on IRC, then please paste the output from this command:

otool -L /path/to/where/you/put/Ardour2.app/Contents/MacOS/Ardour2.bin

(substituting for /path/to/where/you/put as appropriate). thanks.

To Paul:

I am sorry, but I am not experienced at all with IRC.

Thanks your last. Unfortunately, I got:

Ardour 2.8.1 executable launched in Terminal (root):

power-mac-g4-de-all-users:~ root# /Applications/Ardour2.app/Contents/MacOS/Ardour2
bash: /Applications/Ardour2.app/Contents/MacOS/Ardour2: Permission denied
power-mac-g4-de-all-users:~ root#

==========================

I repaired permissions 3 times, but still no luck: Ardour 2.8.1 refuses to launch.

To Paul:

I joined Ardour IRC channel. However, I’m leaving home, most probably till monday.

I’m located in France: GMT+2

To Paul:

Thanks to seablade + las on IRC, I could get otool command working (I extracted same from xcode tools with Pacifist).

Here is the result of otool -L:

Here is an old thread: “Ardour 2.6 PPC will not launch” https://ardour.org/node/2153

The same problem solved using another app for unpacking the Ardour file. A little strange maybe !

Kim

Problem solved!

Tanks so much to kimvarde and Han-earl Park.
Unpacking the Ardour .zip file with StuffIt Expander instead of default BOMArchiveHelper makes Ardour 2.8.1 application opening + working ok!

To Paul:
Strange but ok…

To everybody:
thanks all of you for kind cooperation.
