can't start ardourvst

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Please, tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Ubuntu 10.10, Jack 1.9.6 from kxstudio repo. Compiled manually ardour2 with VST.
With different wine versions gives me this fault:

Cannot mmap shm segment /jack-1000-0
Map shared memory segments exception -2
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000003 at address 0x7099f54c (thread 0026), starting debugger…

May be I should post a wine bug?

Hi,

are your running a 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu (uname -m in a console should give you the result if you are not sure, x86 ist 32 bit, x86_64 ist 64bit)?
You cannot run Ardourvst in a 64bit environment, at least to my knowledge.

Apart from that, I would not recommend Ardourvst at all, it is mostly unstable, subject to change with every wine version, and it will be hard to impossible to get support for it.

Best

HI rusk,

     With  similar configuration my machines are working fine.

  1)   Ubuntu 10.10  , jack 1.9.5 from repo , ardourVST 2.8.11 compiled from source 

  2)    Ubuntu 10.10 , jack 1.9.5 &  ardourVST 2.8.11 from repository 

             I think Jack from kxstudio repo is  meant for Ubuntu 10.04 and I don't know if it works in 10.10. Try compiling or use repo

BTW, 1.9.6 from kxstudio repo works fine with my 10.04 machine

Cheers.

edit ; WIne is 1.2 1 from repo -in all machines (actually there were no problems under any of the previous ver. of wine)

Benjamin Scherrer, I have 32 bit only CPU and all software is 32 bit. Ardourvst, compiled with ubuntustudio package works fine vith my favorite plugins. All troubles I have are because I want more usability. Some VSTi-s with big sample banks outside of DAW, but insert effects - in place… And all stuff sinchronised, saved and launched together… I will try to compile all these stuff with ubuntustudio.

manmachine, but fst and festige requires wine 1.3… latest fst don’t want to compile with wine 1.2.

rusk said: fst and festige requires wine 1.3… latest fst don’t want to compile with wine 1.2

      I dont think so.   Ubuntu 10.10+wine1.2.1+festige0.8.3 -   just works

I have now worked ardourvst. It runs with jack 1.9.5 and wine 1.3. But cannot start with jackdbus. So I can’t use session managers with ardourvst… May be there are another solutions for quick save/open komplex projects??

Yes, I know that all vst-s I can run with fst and insert via returns. But how can I save all params and reopen next time??

#7

I understand the problem. Ardourvst crashes with jackdbus. If jackd started from qjackctl - ardourvst runs fine!

#8

Thanks for Nedko!

Reducing default value port-max solved my problem!

Now it works perfect with port-max value 128. Default value was 2048.

#9

strange things:
with default value ardour2 works perfect and ardour3-vst works too.
