The current beta segfaults on startup. I have an up to date arch linux 64bit system. The same version ran about a month ago. Is there a log file somewhere that might provide more info?

Code: Select all

terminate called without an active exception

In Windows 10 it's
c:\users\yourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Tracktion\Waveform\Temporary\Waveform9Log.txt

Which may point you in its general direction.
[W10-64, T5/6/7/W8/9/10/11/12/13, 32(to W8)&64 all, Spike],[W7-32, T5/6/7/W8, Gina16] everything underused.

yes, similar in linux:
/home/yourUserName/.config/Tracktion/Waveform/Temporary/Waveform9Log.txt

On Linux mint the log file resides in .config/Tracktion/Waveform/Temporary/Waveform9Log.txt

If you believe that it may be the case of an Edit became corrupted ( usually by a plugin etc ) and you had Waveform set to open the last project , then modify the file .config/Tracktion/waveform/CurrentUserSettings.trksettings and change the value for "reloadEdits" to "0" and restart Waveform.

Thanks fo the quick replies. I tried it on two different computers with the same OS. Both crash. So it is probably not a corrupt project or setting.

This is my log file but the crash happens at an "unknown location"

Starting waveform like this:

Code: Select all

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3 tracktion-waveform-beta
Seems to work
Top

Post

I don't understand why you have to preload libcurl.
Is there some OS setting that stops dlopen from finding libcurl, libcurl.so.4 or libcurl.so.3? We look for them in that order.
Top

Post

There shouldn't be anything stopping the app from finding a library within /usr/lib... But I just realized that I might have been to quick to think that this was it. I only did a test on my work PC and there the app loaded with the preload but crashed without it. (only tried once though) On my home pc the app crashes either way though...

Post

Oh ok... I just got that that launching with Waveform9 instead of tracktion-waveform-beta works. I did not realize before that /usr/bin/tracktion-waveform-beat is actually a shell script that adds "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.4.0" before launching Waveform9. so solved then. thanks

Where did "tracktion-waveform-beta" come from?
Top

Post

not sure. I think it gets created by the MAKEPKG. But I dont know where the LD_PRELOAD is coming from.
Top

Post

It's just that I've never written anything like "tracktion-waveform-beta" so I'm wondering how this has been installed if it's causing problems. How are you obtaining Waveform? The only place it should be available is from our main downloads page.
Top

Post

This is from the main downloads page. But on arch it is common practice to provide aur helpers to help install third party software. these are scripts that for example convert the deb format to something installable or provide workarounds if necessary. so my guess is that at one point the preload was necessary for the software to run thus the maintainer added a launcher shell script.

Ok, it's just that things that are outside of our standard workflows, it's very difficult to debug as there can be all sorts of things going on which we have no way of knowing about.
Top

Post

Yes of course. That is why I also investigated the issue in the aur community.

I see it as a nice bonus that this software runs at all on a technically non supported linux distro.
