Re: [arch-proaudio] arch-proaudio Digest, Vol 31, Issue 3

19 Jan 2022

      Bill,

Agordejo does not start even after I have removed raysession. As you
pointed out that 3.1 is the latest version, and both pamac and pacman are
listing 3.0 -1 as the latest. I agree the issue must have something to do
with my current system not necessarily with agordejo itself. If my packages
are out of date then perhaps my system is in a partially updated state.
I'll try out the triage of all third party software. I forgot about the
linuxaudio lists/forums, I'll take this issue over there.

Thanks for all your help,

Hello Nils and Bill,
Pamac manager lists Agordejo 0.3.0-1 as the latest release. It also has no
entries for agordejo-git in the AUR. Both of which are not true and
peculiar, maybe an issue with my mirrorlist. I tried refreshing and ranking
for speed and sync. I suspect this is the root of the problem, and I'm
still investigating. In the meantime, the output from the commands Nils
suggested:

Sudo produces identical output for the above commands.
It's worth mentioning I installed raysession from the AUR as an alternative
because agordejo was already crashing before. Specifically the line:
"*[nsmd] ../src/nsmd.cpp:703 launch(): ERROR:engine.start:Caught crash in
execpthook. Trying too execute atexit anyway*"
~has been present before and after installing raysession. I did try
uninstalling raysession and tried to start agordejo:

several other important related packages were upgraded at the
same time as the latest agordejo (eg: jack2,
new-session-manager, jack2-dbus)
agordejo also crashed for me when i first upgraded it - i then
restarted the system, and agordejo does not crash now
note:
...
Permission denied: '/usr/bin/ray-jack_checker_daemon'*
per that error message, you may also want to look at
/usr/bin/ray-jack_checker_daemon - that is a foreign file, which
does not exist in a clean arch system, and could cause many
sorts of problems - the fact that it is the subject of a fatal
error message is indicative of something abnormal; but there
is not necessarily anything which the arch maintainers have done,
or could do about it
# pkgfile /usr/bin/ray-jack_checker_daemon
if that is the cause of your crash, then it is not a bug for
arch to handle - it may be an upstream bug, but it is not a bug
within the context of "the arch system" - in that case, this is
not a bug report; but a support request, for advice maintaining a
"franken-system"
if a simple reboot does not help, then the path toward a
solution, would be to firstly, remove all non-arch software from
your system (retaining only  mainline arch packages), then
determine if the bug is still present - _then_ and only then, it
would be a problem for the arch maintainers to address - in
order to address that problem properly, the first triage step,
which anyone would _need_ to do, would be to try reproducing the
problem on a clean system if the problem can not be reproduced
on a clean system, then it is not a bug - it is more likely a
conflict caused by mixing unsupported third-party software into
the protected main system

Hello Kevin,
could you please provide the output of:
agordejo --version
ls -la /usr/bin/ray-jack_checker_daemon
file /usr/bin/ray-jack_checker_daemon
lsattr /usr/bin/ray-jack_checker_daemon
And please tell if any of the above commands fail because of a permission
error and then what the sudo version of the command reported.
If Agordejo is below version 0.3.1 please update first. The new arch
community package came out on Saturday.
Nils

as a follow-up, i believe that i found a reproducible procedure
to isolate the bug
my crash yesterday was probably not due to the upgraded
release; but due to a peculiar environment quirk - namely, i had
/root/.gem/ruby/3.0.0/bin/ in the shell PATH; which was not
the case after i rebooted
agordejo starts properly:
$ PATH=$PATH:/etc/any-thing-works agordejo
agordejo crashes:
$ PATH=$PATH:/root/any-thing-fails agordejo
curiously, /root does not induce the crash:
$ PATH=$PATH:/etc/any-thing-works agordejo

that is the latest version; but when reporting bugs, only the
'pacman' package manager and the true
/etc/pacman.{conf,d/mirrorlist} should be considered - like
raysession, pamac is unsupported software - bug reports should
be directed toward the AUR maintainers; because only they can
address them in any way
i am not certain if this list is appropriate - is this list
intended for general pro-audio tech support (eg: including
third-party software)? - or is third-party software off-topic on
this list? - perhaps i am over-emphasizing that distinction
(that this thread may be entirely unrelated to any standard arch
software) - the linuxaudio lists/forum/IRC/etc are much more
used/popular for such tech support questions, no? - that is why
ive assumed this list had an intention, more special than as
another general computer music forum

the above strongly implicates the unsupported raysession and/or
pamac software, as the source of the problem; which was my
previous speculation
if this were my problem (the first triage step), i would
uninstall raysession, pamac, and all software which was ever
installed by pamac (or simulate that state in a VM), to
demonstrate that removing one or the other of raysession/pamac,
resolves the problem (allows agordejo to start)
demonstrating so, would strongly absolve agordejo (and all other
arch software) as the culprits - then, at least it would be more
obvious which people/forum would be best for this discussion
does agordejo start, when that raysession package is not
installed?
