BitwigStudio DAW - v3.x.x OK, v4.x.x crashes

courtage · Post by **courtage** » Mon Apr 04, 2022 8:54 pm

Long shot as I'm a bit unhopeful many people here are using it ...

I've had BitwigStudio v3.x.x running OK on Bionic64 (with @rockedge's realtime kernel )for a while. It ran OK even on my old Dell core2duo+4GB

Upgraded to v4 and it crashes immediately after the splash screen on both the old Dell & my "new" ThinkPad (i7 4 core + 12GB)

Bitwig support said last time when it was on the Dell "oh its probably because of your old hardware & limited ram", but clearly not.

Obviously I'm asking them again but I thought I'd also ask here, because it might be more of a Java thing than a Bitwig thing, judging by the first few lines of the crashlog:

Code: Select all

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x0000000000000000, pid=2475, tid=2476
#
# JRE version:  (16.0+36) (build )
# Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (16+36-2231, mixed mode, tiered, z gc, linux-amd64)

#
# No core dump will be written. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again
#
#

I've tested it with a standard Bionic kernel too & still get the same.

Have we got any JRE gurus around the place who can help?

need to see more of the log......but what is in SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x0000000000000000, pid=2475, tid=2476 the PID?

Possible it is hardware drivers or possible it's a library's version mis-match

also saw a fix like this in the active shell terminal that did something to fix it:

Code: Select all

export LD_BIND_NOW=1

then rerun the program from command line in that terminal

Thanks @rockedge, but that didn't work.

I'm disincline to think it's a hw driver thing as the same error occurs on wildly divergent hardware, or maybe I'm just whistling here.

here's the whole log.

The pid seems to be the command line its trying to run (per the summary)

Himm picking through the installation it seems it isn't touching the regular JRE that I installed but picks up it's own version from a directory under its own install in /opt

SO I'vedone what I should have done in the first place & create a completely clean new install of Bionic & then installed bitwig 4 from scratch

And it works (well it doesn't because it's missing some supporting libs like libxcb, but it doesn't crash before starting)

So it looks like I've got some lib somewhere that their java needs that's broken or missing or incompatible. Which is annoying but not that surprising on a setup like mine that gets all sorts of stuff installed & tried over the years.

sigh.

It might be possible if you find the offending library to fix it with symlink(s)

Using pmap may help identify it. Just simply provide the PID, which you can easily obtain through htop.

It seems that Bitwig fires up it's own java executable from /opt/bitwig-studio/lib/jre/bin/

If I invoke that executable from its location, it crashes immediately on my realtime install, but runs ok if I boot up a fresh bionic64 with no other changes or additions to the system.

I'm not sure if it's ldd I need here, but I ran ldd against the executable and got this:

Bitwig's own libjli.so is different between v3 & v4 but I guess that's to be expected.

All the others *except* libpthread are identical on both my live realtime system & my "clean" bionic64 installation.

So my first guess here is that /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (actually a symlink to libpthread-2.27.so) is involved as part of the problem.
If I install a fresh realtime system using huge-4.19.25-bionicpup64.tar.bz2 (which is what my live system started out as), it turns out that both libpthread files are different on the live and the clean realtime, and what's more on a fresh realtime system, once the strict dependencies are installed for it, Bitwig 4 runs perfectly.

so I guess some package at some stage has installed at least a different libpthread (and if its installed one different lib it'll probably have installed a few others too)

trying to track down where the dependcies have broken and rectifying them is probably more trouble than it's worth.

I think it's probably time I updated to Fossa anyway & I've got your realtime kernels for that. The only thing that was stpping me was the printing issue from vivaldi that I see others have tripped over too.

Thanks for taking the trouble to follow this & offer suggestions anyway.

Well, I looked into this DAW after reading your posts, and I downloaded the deb package from the developer, installed it on fossapup64 (not a clean system, but rather my current system which has some added packages like python3, etc) and unfortunately it disappeared soon after the splash screen.

I may try it on a clean copy of fossa, and also on jackalpup, which is a real-time remaster of fossa, but not tonight.

I have also seen the "disappearing trick".
It's still running but the actual interface has vanished.
Very annoying, though I haven't seen this happen in a while on my systems

I find their support a bit poor (I sent them my crash log and their reply was to ask me questions the answers to which were contained in the crash log), but a lot of people swear by Bitwig .

Not sure how many pros actually use it tho, they all seem to use ableton, but of course bitwig is one of the few that is supposed to run natively on Linux as well as mac & win which is why I run it (that and someone kindly donated me a full key for the 8-track version which is all I really need)

DAWs on Puppy deserve a whole subsection in the forum lol

Post by **rockedge** » Wed Apr 06, 2022 11:21 am

@courtage,
I had the same problem, splash screen okay then disappeared and the program crashed.

Now I am able to start and run BitwigStudio version 4.2.2 on Fossapup64-9.5

Turns out after studying the errors trying to start it up that this was missing: libxcb-ewmh

So I went to the PPM searched for and found libxcb-ewmh and installed it and the -dev version of it. Started right up after that.

Okay, I downloaded the library @rockedge suggested, and Bitwig's demo is now fired up and running on jackalpup_0.0 (which is fossapup64 re-mastered by @puddlemoon with @rockedge's realtime kernel.) I'm running it on the original jackalpup-0.0, and not @puddlemoon's recent update, as I found Librewolf and Chromium would hang in the updated version of jackalpup, which gave me pause, and I figured it would be easier to try Bitwig on the known stability of the original jackalpup.

So far it looks as if Bitwig is going to be a go. It's currently downloading all of the added packages which I suppose are instruments and plugins. I am a professional musician, and I've used Pro-tools, Reaper, Cubase, Sonar, Pre-Sonus Studio One (fantastic package), and Ardour, which I like. I have no experience with Logic and Ableton. So I'm curious about Bitwig, and I'm going to give it a whirl for a few days and see what it's like, and how it runs on jackalpup, which has jack and most of the stable jack applications installed.

Jackalpup can be found here: viewtopic.php?t=1148

geo_c · Post by **geo_c** » Wed Apr 06, 2022 4:29 pm

And my cursory report goes like this:

I was successful running Bitwig in jackalpup using both straight ALSA as the driver with jack server stopped, and also running Jack server, with Bitwig working equally as well in both. I imported some of my loop tracks and played around, though I have no idea exactly what to do yet in terms of the interface, I will be working with this package. It looks like a blast. Although it may be that once I have constructed a project and bounced instruments to audio, etc, I may still like Ardour for final mixing and mastering.

geo_c · Post by **geo_c** » Thu Apr 07, 2022 1:35 am

MIght be time for a new thread. But I thought I'd just throw this observation in:

I chose the 'download everything' option during the demo version install, and now I'm realizing that my pupsave has a folder in /root/.config/.Bitwig which is called /installed-packages and is 17gigabytes big!

That's a problem! I'm trying to figure out how to relocate all that data! The solution isn't obvious and I should probably head over to the Bitwig forums and find out,

but it may be time for @mikewalsh to do his portable magic on Bitwig.

Apparently Bitwig is written for 'full install' distros!

EDIT: having done a quick search I noticed a 5 year old post suggesting making a symlink to the 'installed packages' folder at my preferred location. I'll give it a shot.

Post by **rockedge** » Thu Apr 07, 2022 2:21 am

@geo_c That's exactly what should work., take the folders containing the plugins (or uninstall them and go with the minimal selection) and move those large directories outside of the save folder and then symlink them back to the where the program expects them.

or something like that

Mostly I am glad you also have it running and that it works!

Yes it works in jackalpup, and because it also works with the stock ALSA driver, I'm pretty certain in will be fine in Fossapup64 proper. That is after installing the missing library: libxcb-ewmh from the ppm.

and the symlink worked just fine! So Bitwig is a mighty nice addition to jackalpup, an already powerful audio distro.

In Jackalpup (and Fossapup) I have also installed Musescore (@mikewalsh's portable version), Lilypond, and Frescobaldi, which are a fantastic combination for creating classic scores and leadsheets. I can do gui editing in Musescore for quick manipulation and playback, then export as a music xml file and import into Frescobaldi which creates a lilypond file. Then I cut and paste my headers and properties into the file and get really nice looking sheet music that's completely consistent from piece to piece.

@geo_c :-

Yes, the sym-link trick works, 999 times out of 1000. I've got a few applications which, as part of normal running/upgrading/operation, have a tendency to generate huge data dumps of various kinds within the system.

So I do the same. Copy the entire thing out to an external location with plenty of space - usually a secondary, though auto-mounted HDD - delete the one in the system, then sym-link the newly-copied item back in its place.

Never known it fail yet!

Mike.

I still say that, for the casual user, 10wt3ch's "Studio 1337" takes some beating. As it's now Bionic64-based, with a 5-series real-time kernel, it's a lot more up-to-date than older versions.

I appreciate that it may not have everything that certain people want - all depending on your specialisation, and requirements, of course - and that some of the items may be getting a wee bit long in the tooth by now. My personal version has just been re-installed, this time to the main SSD; I'd originally had it on a USB stick, but that got re-purposed a while back, and I'd kinda forgotten about it. This discussion has since reminded me about it, so I thought....."Why not?"

Reaper and LMMS have been "upgraded" by the addition of my portable versions. Ditto, Chrome has been added to the mix. I'll be adding MuseScore-portable, too, and possibly some of my portable video-editors.

Curiously, I've discovered that 10wt3ch has set it up with exactly the same "SlicknesS-dark" GTK2 theme that I've recently begun using across the kennels, after discovering it through the Gnome theme database! I'm quite chuffed about that.

We'll see how it goes. I may even try BitWig, though that $400 a year subscription won't be getting a look in; the built-in Ardour should do for what I want, along with Qtractor.....

Thanks, everybody, for reminding me about it.

Mike.

I wasn't aware that Studio 1337 was still getting some maintenance and updates. I recently deleted it from one of my partitions because I hadn't booted it up in over a year. Jackalpup is one of my finely tweaked OSs at this point, but I have a fondness for Studio 1337 because I was an early adopter of 10wt3ch's work, and it helped me view Linux as a viable audio production system, whereas I had tried earlier versions of Ubuntu Studio that didn't cut the mustard at all, at least not on my available hardware. Puppy-Studio actually worked!

Bitwig is taking the subscription approach, as is Ardour, but at this point I am pleased that there are professional grade software packages that run OOTB on puppy. I want to encourage that. So if I believe I can utilize the capabilities of Bitwig, I may at some point bite the bullet.

Post by **mikewalsh** » Fri Apr 08, 2022 3:59 pm

@geo_c :-

In my case, the difference between this rig & my old one is like that between night & day.

The old one was 2005-vintage; the CPU was 'so-so'; RAM was limited; the onboard GPU was basic (and the single PCI-e slot was broken, and the ancient 1.0a standard even if it HAD worked).....stuff like that.

The new one has a far more capable CPU; I have so much RAM & storage (32GB RAM, 6TB+ of storage) that I can't ever see me being able to use it all - honest! - and Puppy runs so fast on here its paws just don't touch the ground. When I got it, it came with just 4 GB; 4 became 8 almost immediately, then 8 became 16, and finally 16 morphed into 32 after finding an incredibly good deal on Crucial RAM at Amazon. I don't really need the Asus GeForce GT710, but it's the first 'discrete' GPU I've ever owned, and I just wanted one. Equivalent to the onboard UHD610's performance, and has its own VRAM so I don't need to borrow any from the system.....and Puppy uses so little that it's basically all available for me to use myself, for MY projects.

So it makes no difference if I have a specialist Puppy installed that I only fire-up very occasionally. In terms of available space, it uses so little I barely even notice it's there.

Nice to have the shoe on the other foot for a change!

As far as I'm aware, 10wt3ch used to make some pocket money on the side by selling pre-assembled flash drives with Studio 1337 already on them, for a very modest price. But he eventually gave up on this, and made the final release, v3.3, publicly available.

I've got both the ISO & the unzip-to-flash drive tarball of Studio 1337 v3.3 available, if anybody's interested in them.

I still use Studio 1337 with great success. In reality the OS packs a punch and I have 3 local Punk Rock bands using it in their "studios" actually pumping out material that are as well put together as the pro's do it with much more costly software and equipment. I introduced one guy to it and the word spread around the area that one could get a whole studio on a stick.

Throw in these additions we're getting to run and wow.....makes me want to be a musician.

Please do make the ISO's available! I think there are others that once discovered, will really be impressed.

Cool thing is with these programs that when such a package works well, it doesn't need to be constantly updated.

This is the beauty of Linux in general, but puppy in particular. If a given set of software works with a given set of hardware, it works forever. The only real exceptions being browser/web based stuff that constantly has to keep up with the latest updates. When it comes to things an 'operating system' is supposed to do, like interface hardware to software, a machine with working a hardware/software combination is good until the hardware actually craps out, and that's the way it's supposed to be!

I uploaded my copy to drive, HERE
I actually paid to download this when it was still only for sale but since it's been released for free shortly after should be no offence.

Perhaps @ally might like to upload it, being the archivist

I purhased the very first copy of Studio4 on a usb stick! I actually have Studio 1337.v3.3 as an iso. That's the one I recently deleted. But now you guys have got me interested again.

I think I'll copy it over to my SG2D stick.

@puddlemoon :- I can't for the life of me remember where I downloaded mine from! Where did you get yours? (EDIT:- I remember; 10wt3ch actually posted about it here on the Forum shortly after the pandemic kicked-in with a vengeance, didn't he? Don't the links point to some musician's forum, or something like that?)

@mikewalsh the paid version did send you to his website iirc, the freebie pointed to a google drive folder which is now 404. it does belong in ally's archive.org collection in my humble opinion.

I never got to using it as is so much cause I got busy changing it right away... (hence jackalpup)

@puddlemoon :-

Definitely have to agree with you on that score (couldn't resist that! ) Yep; it does belong @ archive.org. I may drop ally a PM....

Heh. Well, having made them publicly available for free, he's now in no position to complain any longer, is he?

Puddlemoon's made his copies available. I'll put mine up, too. The more, the merrier...

There is a copy on archive.org. I found it last night. Maybe I can find it again. Here it is, https://archive.org/details/studio_1337-dvd-64bit, I think. May not be the version you've been talking about.

all of the copies I have were downloaded straight off the net, not behind a paywall, I refer to my previous statement
