| Summary | 0009622: Opening project fails after a previous segfault crash | ||||
| Description | Background: On my way to analyze a problem that I have with push2 control surface (https://discourse.ardour.org/t/push2-first-looking-good-than-failing/109808), I just "saved as" a project from yesterday, ticking the box "i want it to be empty". Then while trying to setup push, Ardour froze and then crashed with a segfault. Because I thought the instability of push might come from the fact that I have also the ubuntu version of ardour installed, I removed that, then rebooted my machine. But when trying to open the last project now that was open when ardour crashed, I get an error message: Something went seriously wrong. Ardour cannot continue. Here are a few hints at what might be wrong: ERROR: Cannot get existing session information from /path/to/project.ardour | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | I assume that reproducibility also needs the project file I have. I attach it below. Also, I can only reproduce the behavior with this file - I did not try to reproduce crashes that result in such an unloadable session, but I am happy to do that on request if seen as necessary or helpful. As I experienced multiple crashes yesterday, too, I know that in most cases a crash just results in Ardour asking me to recover the last session. But this doesn't happen with my session now. Steps: * start Ardour8 again after a crash, then see the session select dialog. * chose the last session when ardour crashed * see that it looks different then the others - it shows "??" in the sample rate column, and "--" in the file resolution column. * select it and click open * expect it to start the session * instead get this message(project file path changed): Something went seriously wrong. Ardour cannot continue. Here are a few hints at what might be wrong: ERROR: Cannot get existing session information from /path/to/project.ardour | ||||
| Additional Information | I think it's important because even though this is an empty session that I did not record anything into yet, nor any configuration etc, It could have been that I just had setup many channels for routing midi/audio and had put significant work in, that shouldn't get lost. Let me know if I can provide any further information. | ||||

When trying to recover from this problem and continuing my work, I ran into the same problem, but with a newly "saved as" project. What I did: * deleted the unloadable session * loaded the original project that had project data again * chose "save as" and "new project should be empty" * got an error about jack not being started, eve though qjackctl looked running fine * pressed ctrl-s and stopped ardour * restarted jack with qjackctl * started ardour again the new "saved as" session looked different than other sessions, as described above, and it couldn't be loaded. Only in a third run the saved as project could be loaded as expected |
