Ardour has crashed twice in about 30 minutes. I just installed AVlinux (debian) yesterday, (switched from ubuntu 9.04 for stability reasons) and it seemed to be working fine in AV then. these are the terminal logs;
the first time;
[ 4530.068212] ardour-2.8[12922]: segfault at 229 ip b6f8bd52 sp b012ac20 error 4 in libjack.so.0.0.28[b6f87000+f000]
the second time;
[ 3054.671323] ardour-2.8[30591]: segfault at 3f800000 ip b759a75c sp bfdf5d10 error 4 in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1400.7[b7529000+398000]
another weird thing is that sometimes ardour will disconnect from jack, but jack will think it is still connected (ardour still shows up on the connections manager). then I have to restart jack to reconnect ardour.
am trying to get some sessions mixed, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
What hardware are you using Ardour with? I would strongly suggest you install and try the 2.6.29-rt1 Kernel and Headers from the “Audio Extras” folder in your home folder. I did a 3hr 8-track straight session tonight using AV Linux 2.0 with a band I’m rehearsing with, We recorded the entire rehearsal then afterward we listened back and did some mixing and later I exported a few tunes…The point is Ardour was up and running for about 5hrs and I didn’t get so much as 1 xrun even running VSTs with FST as a separate host. The debugging data will be invaluable but in the meantime you may want to experiment with the -rt Kernel and see if the segfaults continue.
Gmaq,
I finally managed to get the rt Kernel loaded. Due to a drive partition issue, it had not been showing up on my GRUB menu; In my initial post I had not figured out how to fix this problem, and was hoping for a way to get things functional in the meantime. The -rt kernel does seem to have stabilized the system. I mixed for a couple of hours yesterday and Wednesday, and nothing crashed. Thank you for your help, and for putting together what seems to be a pretty good Linux multimedia package. I will see if I can get the debugging data posted before to long.
