[Linuxsampler-devel] Possible Bug report - LinuxSampler Windows, latest weekly build

[Graham G. <ggo...@gm...>]

I recently released a jOrgan - LinuxSampler Theatre Pipe Organ sample
set to some Alpha testers, and we have an issue with LinuxSampler
standalone crashing.

Lynn Walls describes it as follows:

I conducted some more experiments on this problem. The sequence is as follows:
1. Start linuxsampler back-end.
2. Start "client" and run the Barton ASIO4ALL .lscp script
3. Shutdown "client".
4. Re-launch "client" and run the script again on the same
    running instance of the linuxsampler back-end.
5. Some kind of crash occurs immediately after all the
    "Freeing..." messages have displayed (likely as a result
    of the RESET command).  Something in what happens AFTER
    the RESET seems to cause the crash...but no indicative
    messages appear in either the back-end or the "client".

Here are the test results specific to each "client":

   "Client"   Test Results
-----------  ---------------------------------------------------
jOrgan       back-end crashes and/or jOrgan crashes and system
              hangs; System must be re-booted after physical
              power-off.

QSampler     QSampler crashes, but back-end may be terminated
              with Ctrl-C, and system continues to run normally
              (does not hang/freeze).

JSampler     System hangs/freezes...no messages or dialog boxes;
              system must be re-booted after physical power-off.

The freeze/hang of the whole computer bothers me in terms of whether
or not this is a
wholly a linuxsampler problem or a combination of linuxsampler and a
MIDI open/close
problem.  I have seen other situations where a catastrophic crash or
hang of a program
that has opened one or more MIDI devices with hang/freeze the whole
system.  Sometimes the system instance can be saved, using taskmanager
to kill the offending apps, and sometimes nothing but a re-boot works.

-----------------------------

Is there a log file that we could load to see what is happening? Or
something else that would help find out what is happening?

Kind regards,
