Continuous Crashes

#1

I am facing many crashes while running Ardour 6.5.0 on a single day. Ardour works fine for 15 mins and it crashes then I have to restart my computer to open Ardour and vice versa. I’m using Manjaro i5 8th gen 16gb ram and 1tb hdd
How can I come across this problem

First things first:

Second, and related to #1, Where did Ardour come from? What plugins are you running? Is there any output on the console when the crash does happen?

From official Website (making payment) I run surge and Carla rack . The crash occurs after using more that 30 min or 15 min and zynfusion no sound is coming when using midi keyboard

#4

Does it Crash (Ardour dissappears completely and closes) or does it stop processing audio? Is Zyn run as a plugin within Ardour or as a standalone program? What audio backend are you using, ALSA or Jack?

The system gets hang and I have to restart to get normal zynfusion runs within Ardour and as well as using Carla rack and I use Jack 2 (cadence)

This is unusual.
So something changes over time. Perhaps a memory leak, it accumulates and finally Ardour bails, but with 16GB RAM that’d need to be a flood, not a leak :slight_smile:

Let’s try to narrow this down a bit…

  • Does it also happen when you just start Ardour and let it sit there (no plugins)
  • just load zynfusion (no surge at first)

See is memory usage increases. e.g. via htop

Either swap storm, or perhaps graphics card related.

Do you have a nvidia card and use the nouveau driver? If so showing multiple plugin windows might cause this.
