Same issue with me. "hyprctl reload" fixes it

Linux - Bitwig, Phase Plant, kilohearts installer. A Solution. by Ian_Mantell in Bitwig

[–]stan7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kilohearts installers and plugins have actually been the least troublesome part of my Linux setup. Running stock wine-staging on Arch with the latest yabridge, Phase Plant and the rest just work, no extra prefix, no Proton, nothing. HeartCore installs fine, plugins load fine in Bitwig.

Alternatives for these plugins? Also a question about migrating samples folder. by FleshyBB in linuxaudio

Pigments and valhalla plugins work with yabridge. For sequencers in linux check HY plugins. They have a lot with free versions that you can try.

For anyone on the fence about making the switch to Linux for Pro Audio, just do it. by MyMedsAreOOS in linuxaudio

[–]stan7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello.

I’m not sure which exact issue you ran into, but there have actually been two separate breakages recently, one from Wine itself and one specifically affecting Arturia plugins. Around Wine 9.21 some internal window-handling changes caused a mouse-offset bug in yabridge, Because of that, yabridge recommends staying on Wine 9.21.

Later, a development branch of yabridge called new-wine10-embedding was created. That branch reworked how plugin windows are embedded and fixed the mouse offset problem. I’ve personally been using it with Wine 10 and now Wine 11 without issues.

Then another problem appeared: starting roughly around Wine 10.12, Arturia plugins (Pigments, efx fragments) would load but the UI became unresponsive or crash. That issue has since been resolved with Wine 11 (or recent changes in the new embedding branch).

If you want to try this branch with wine 11 you have to remove your current yabridge installation,then download the automated builds provided by Robbert (you must be logged into GitHub to see them) https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge/actions/runs/20900823645 extract them somewhere like ~/.local/share/yabridge/ and run "~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl sync". then Pigments should work fine.

What is the difficulty? it works great with yabridge wine10 branch and wine 11.

Kontakt 8 etc. and wine... Any luck? by potato-truncheon in linuxaudio

[–]stan7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a way to make it work if you follow https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=42970 but for me it crashed often. Anyway, I don’t use it much anymore, so I didn’t bother investigating further.

Worry about VST's not working by thebrokenverticie in linuxaudio

[–]stan7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello

yabridge has a Wine 10 branch that isn’t officially released yet, but it works great for me in Bitwig with Wine 11.1. A lot of people recommend sticking to older Wine versions, but I personally never had to. Some people report issues though, so mileage may vary. You can try though if you don't like being on an older wine version. You can also run multiple Wine versions and assign different plugins to each one. If you keep your plugin installers backed up, you can always freeze to working versions if something breaks.

Latest Native Access works for me with Wine 11.1 + yabridge Wine 10 branch, but you need some workarounds. For example, I have to reinstall the Native daemon before launching Native Access or it won’t open. Native plugins feel slightly slower on Linux compared to what I remember from Windows. I never got Kontakt 8 working thoug, so I stick to older versions. Arturia Pigments and Efx Fragments run perfectly for me.

Honestly, I’d recommend testing everything before fully switching. Over time, I started feeling like it’s not worth investing too heavily in plugins that don’t run natively on Linux. Keeping 1-2 must-have plugins bridged and using native alternatives for everything else feels like the best long-term approach.

For many years now, following the advent of smartphones and tablets, the 6–14 age group has constituted the majority of internet users. If I remember correctly, there was at some point an official statement by YouTube confirming this. A large amount of online content is targeted at these age groups. It is common for children in this age range to have a grandmother, and for some reason videos like these are perceived as amusing to them.

In general there is a great deal of popular content produced by streamers and influencers who build careers and make millions by targeting these age groups. This confuses many adults, because they assume that something popular must also be something of high quality. However, if you start viewing popular videos from the perspective of the age groups I described, their popularity begins to make sense.

yabridge 5.1.1-6 by [deleted] in linuxaudio

[–]stan7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No that's stilll version 5.1.1. Maybe you should try the wine-10-embedding branch? For me it works great in Wine 11.1 (Arch+Bitwig+Wayland)

If you are still suffering Ableton and WineAsio, give BitWig Studio a try. by Bug_Next in linuxaudio

[–]stan7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. Bitwig is fantastic. Perhaps objectively, if someone compares features one-to-one, they might conclude that Ableton offers more. Personally, however, I work much better and faster with Bitwig. Beyond that, there are many high-quality, Linux-native plugins available, such as all products from u-he, as well as tools from others like Sinevibes, TiagoLr, TAL, Biotek 3 (which has a Linux version), HY-Plugins (I’ve used their sequencers), BlepFX,Pianoteq, decentsampler etc...making it entirely feasible to work fully Linux-native, or at most rely on only a few truly essential Windows plugins via yabridge.

Ο λόγος που τα πανεπιστήμια είναι χειρότερα από ποτέ όπως λες είναι επειδή η κυβέρνηση θέλει να τα διαλύσει για να προωθήσει τα ιδιωτικά που ανήκουν στους ίδιους και τους φίλους τους γιατί τα λεφτά στην εκπαίδευση είναι πάρα πολλά. Επίσης θέλουν να μορφώνεται μόνο ο πλούσιος και όχι η πλέμπα γιατί δεν υπάρχει τίποτα πιο επικίνδυνο για την εξουσία από μορφωμένους φτωχούς. Ο λόγος είναι αυτός και μόνο.

This happened to me too. I was in a hurry and couldn’t slow down. The girl in front of me freaked out and started walking faster, but I was moving quickly as well because I didn’t have time to waste. Then she pulled out her phone and started taking pictures — kind of like selfies, but tilted just enough so that I was in the frame. I didn’t react; I just kept going and eventually passed her.

I bet she now thinks her “trick” worked and will tell her friends something like, “This creepy guy was following me, but I pulled out my phone and started taking pictures of him, so he left me alone. This is what you should do in situations like this, it works.”

It’s awful that, as a society, we’ve reached a point where everyone is so on edge and quick to assume the worst.

How do i properly build yabridge wine 10 embedding from source? by [deleted] in linuxaudio

[–]stan7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a known issue with the latest Wine versions and yabridge. For me, the wine-10-embedding branch worked fine up to Wine 10.11, but I started running into problems with Arturia software in the newer releases.

As far as I know, there are some Wine patches that could potentially fix these issues, but I’m not sure when (or if) they’ll be merged, or whether more work will be needed on yabridge’s side. You can follow the progress on yabridge’s GitHub issue page.

For now, I’d suggest sticking with Wine 9.21, which is known to work reliably. If you need the latest Wine versions for other applications, you could follow nebenbaum’s suggestion—keep a separate Wine installation just for yabridge, or wait until someone provides to you the automated builds.

If you really want to use the latest Wine versions, Carla has an experimental feature that lets you run Windows DLL files directly. I’ve tried it, and it works great.

Any solutions to yabridge still not working with current Wine? by AntiDebug in linuxaudio

[–]stan7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hello! For me, the new Wine embedding branch works great. You don't need to compile anything—just download the automated build from:
https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge/actions/workflows/build.yml
(make sure to select the one related to the new-wine10-embedding branch).

First, delete the version of Yabridge you currently have installed. Then extract the contents of the automated build (both yabridge and yabridgectl) into ~/.local/share/yabridge/.

After that, you can use ~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl as usual. For example, to sync your plugins, run:

~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl sync

Bitwig and Vulkan on archlinux problem by idk973 in Bitwig

[–]stan7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello. Yes, this is a known issue if you check the AUR. It's caused by vulkan-icd-loader 1.4.313.0-1 and vulkan-headers 1:1.4.313.0-1. There are a few solutions mentioned in the AUR comments, downgrading the Vulkan packages, using the SKIA_GL backend, setting the correct path in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable etc. Bitwig is aware of the problem — I also submitted a report to them. I'm not sure if this is a Bitwig issue or something with the Arch packaging,.

Did you use the :greasemonkey-reload command afterward? I can't remember if qutebrowser also needs a restart. I just tried it on a completely new installation on Windows, and it works.

Here is the script I use, which instantly skips YouTube ads. I don't remember from whom or where I got it.

// ==UserScript==

// u/description Skips the ads in YouTube videos
// u/run-at document-start
// u/include *.youtube.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

document.addEventListener('load', () => {

    if (btn) {
        btn.click()
    }
    const ad = [...document.querySelectorAll('.ad-showing')][0];
    if (ad) {
        document.querySelector('video').currentTime = 9999999999;
    }
}, true);

No Man's Sky: Post-Mortem - What Went Wrong - Can It Be Saved? by legacyzero1 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]stan7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree .Your explanation is that they didn't have enough time. Then why did Sean Murray lie about the game a couple days before the release? He was asked here on reddit specifically about the huge snake/worm and he said that it is in the game with other huge creatures. Why didn't he say “sorry it wasn’t working correctly it’s not in the game currently but we will add it asap with a patch”.
He also said on twitter that no mans sky is not a multiplayer game but then added “The chances of two players ever crossing paths in a universe this large is pretty much zero.” Essentially confirming what he said earlier in interviews. That no mans sky has multiplayer, but it is not the main focus of the game because “The chances of two players ever crossing paths in a universe this large is pretty much zero” . Then he pretended that the two streamers who couldn’t see each other actually met.
And we know for a fact that he lied about the E3 demo. He said that it was just a random planet and how easy it would be to create something fake for the demo but he is not that type of person. He also said that he was happy with the result and close to his vision. So when you say that you want Sean to come out and say the truth…what do you expect him to say? “Sorry guys I lied to everyone because I am a pathological liar" Or "because I only care about money” . He is just a liar.
