Hello, my session crashed and this time I’m not able to fix it by myself.
I cannot seem to figure out how to safe this session again (which would be nice since my last backup is missing a lot of hours of work).
I’ve also tried to delete the peaks and analysis content. And there is no error message that some file in the .ardour might be problematic.
I have a lot of tracks in this session and a lot of recorded samples that have been cut.
The session suddenly crashed out of nowhere.
now when i try to start the session, i just get a core dumped error. So I’m clueless.
I’m glad for any support for rescuing my session.
…
Ardour: [INFO]: Loading bindings from /home/NAME/.config/ardour8/ardour.keys
Loading ui configuration file /etc/ardour8/clearlooks.rc
Found nothing along /home/NAME/.config/ardour8/templates:/usr/share/ardour8/templates
Bus error (core dumped) ardour8
And actually it happened again.
I’ve kept working on a backup file and now started to use more snapshots. But after it crashed with the newest version, all previous Snapshots don’t work anymore.
Can anyone help me?
I think the error occured while zooming out.
Thanks
Ok, I’ve no clue why this worked. But I’ve removed all audiofiles. Opened the session and loaded it with skipping them all.
Afterwards I’ve closed ardour and put all audiofiles back.
And then this at least worked with the 2nd currupted version, which was a backup version.
With my original corrupted version, I’ve tried the same approach but I’ve realized that I’ve had to remove some audiofiles to make it load again. And the only way to figure out which audiofiles i had to put back in was by trial and error.
There were 400+ audiofiles in the folder, so it was quite a bit of trial and error.
Well. I feel like Ardour is crashing a lot in general and often the session becomes corrupt out of nowhere. But the more I work with Ardour more knowledge of how to get a file back running again seem to develop. Anyhow I’m really not satisfied that this keeps happening.
That sounds similar to problems some people have when using software which attempts to continuously sync local files with cloud backup. Do you have anything like that running?
Are you using one of the standard Linux filesystems, or do you have audio projects on something like a FAT32 volume because it is shared with Windows?
No, just plain and simple Arch Linux. Nothing fancy.
I run Jack:
jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -p 256
And my ardour sessions have a lot of recordings and im cutting a lot.
Now my Ardour crashed once again after i made a cut of a sample.
The main sources for crashes and then sometimes corruption of the file is after a cut of a sample or after zooming.
Should not be, Ardour 9 is at release candidate 2 stage, and the developers have explicitly requested that distributions do not package release candidates. Ardour 9 should only be used if you want to test a particular feature or behavior, or if you want to help test/debug to prepare for release.
