Xruns with Cadence KXstudio (Linux).

[Loupdidg]

Thank for many answers !

I have tested a few idea. But not concluding... I dont understand. I thinked KXstudio is the best for MAO...

With Bitwig when i record no Xruns. But if I listen my track and I apply an equalize for example i have Xruns with the log of my first message... But not everytime ! It's strange ?!

You think it is bad if i have Xrun but not during the record ?

Last think ! I dont have video card at the moment because is broke. You think it's bad ?

Thanks for reminding me about this, I had set my freq using cpufreq-set but didn't realise that it was reset on each new bootup. I will create a startup script for this. ( I will have to google around a bit as I forget how to run sudo/su commands without the need for password input )

If your distribution uses systemd, then you just need to create systemd service file (/etc/systemd/system/set-cpu-governor.service for example) and add it to autorun:

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=CPU governor setup
After=multi-user.target
 
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/cpupower frequency-set -g performance
 
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Thanks Phantom-one, this is useful info I will get back to let you know how this went... I'm having serious issues with my Ubuntu install mainly EDID monitor related and some random freezes ( which I cannot debug ) I know this is off topic , but hopefully my post on Ubuntuforums gets answered soon, before I pull out my hair

Anyway it's good to see this thread staying alive and I'm sure some of the info provided will help Linux users in some way to make Bitwig run smoothly and just generally all audio apps ...

Hi Miko,

I hope you still have your hair.

I just wanted to check in on how you're coming along. Do you know what video driver you're using ? If it's the nVidia binary driver you may well have undebuggable problems. That driver is a closed-source module, almost nothing can be done at the code level to fix nVidia-related problems. OTOH, I've been using nVidia binary drivers for many years with Linux - I need accelerated 3D for Pure Data with GEM and for the AVSynthesis program - and I've had only a few troubles with my systems, mostly repaired with an up-to-date driver.

If you don't need 3D but you are using the nVidia driver, perhaps you could try using the Nouveau driver instead. Many users report a complete disappearance of video-related problems after switching to Nouveau. Alas, that driver doesn't support 3D acceleration, so if you do need 3D you're probably stuck with nVidia.

Best,

Hi, StudioDave ... the hair is long gone now due to this issue

The driver giving me grief was radeon fglrx. No amount of tweaking, hacking, building, removing etc was truly fixing my issue, so in the end I just backed up my home/user data and did a clean reinstall of Ubuntu-14.04. Now Everything is working as expected and as I am not a gamer I don't really need the accelerated graphics atm.
I guess doing a distro upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 something got broken beyond repair and made any attempt to fix this impossible, and as i build a lot of apps from development branches i could have broken a symlink or just made my system unstable ( as i was getting a lot of system freezes even just on idle , but this is all gone now thank f**k ) I was kind of wrongly blaming Bitwig at the start but that was only because it was the app that was being used the most and these crashes were just random and nothing to do with Bitwig ...anyway thanks for your time

Hi, StudioDave ... the hair is long gone now due to this issue

Well, I'm glad to hear that you got everything sorted out, at only the cost of some sex appeal. A small price to pay, yes ?

Play on !

Best,

haha , was worth it to have a stable system to unleash my sex appeal on Bitwig
