| falktx | 4Gb RAM on the laptop. 8Gb RAM on the desktop | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| alex-EU | falktx: so we need to find enough bigger libs to push you past 4GB on the desktop, and see if K falls over for lack of memory. :) | 00:03 |
| falktx | I think I can create an app that fills 3Gb of RAM with garbage | 00:04 |

| alex-EU | falktx: if that's in gig format, you can convert it in K. | 00:05 |
| falktx | there was the symphonic orchestra nki | 00:06 |
| alex-EU | falktx: that's probably the best free piano out there. | 00:06 |
| alex-EU | falktx: symphony orchestra nki? | 00:07 |

| LAbot | Title: bigcat Instruments: Sonatina Symphony Orchestra for Kontakt (at bigcatinstruments.blogspot.pt) | 00:07 |
| alex-EU | falktx: aah, yes. | 00:09 |
| falktx | I can't find a zip with all nkis | 00:10 |
| falktx | alex-EU: btw, what do you think of pianoteq? | 00:10 |
| falktx | all links http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Paste/repo/QfV1j | 00:15 |
| alex-EU | falktx: never tried pianoteq. I have a couple of big pianos already. | 00:19 |
| falktx | alex-EU: anyway, let's review the list of issues using kontakt... | 00:22 |
| falktx | alex-EU: did it always start? (no more timeouts) | 00:23 |
| alex-EU | falktx: almost. If i load a big strings lib (about 15GB of ram), then just occasionally it would time out. I haven't seen that recently though. | 00:25 |
| falktx | alex-EU: but during startup or when it was loaded? | 00:25 |
| alex-EU | falktx: startup from an already existing prject file, or intial K plugin load? | 00:26 |
| falktx | initial plugin load | 00:26 |
| falktx | I'm interested if it failed to start, as in adding plugin | 00:26 |
| alex-EU | falktx: it used to, with lots of osc failure messages. | 00:27 |
| alex-EU | falktx: with this latest carla, the plugins load ok to begin with. | 00:27 |
| falktx | ah damn it. kontakt wants the service center, and the sc auto-updates... | 00:28 |
| falktx | which means it stops working | 00:28 |
| alex-EU | falktx: yep. | 00:28 |
| alex-EU | falktx: stick with the version you have. :) | 00:29 |
| falktx | but I need it to activate something. otherwise all instruments appear as demo | 00:29 |
| falktx | I guess I'll do with the alternative package, no way around this | 00:30 |
| alex-EU | falktx: right. | 00:34 |
| falktx | while it downloads I'll play with this a bit. need to get some nice midi files now | 00:35 |
| falktx | alex-EU: how many instruments do you load per K instance? | 00:35 |
| falktx | alex-EU: the sample quality is really nice :) | 00:39 |
| falktx | well, it has built-in fx. errm those cheaters | 00:40 |
| alex-EU | falktx: hehe | 00:41 |
| alex-EU | falktx: depends on the instance. Standalone, i can fill 64 instruments slots. VST is the same if 4 midi input ports can be routed to the loaded instance. | 00:42 |
| falktx | hm, got a timeout when doing UI stuff | 00:42 |
| falktx | ah, all those CarlaRingBuffer::tryWrite() errors are because of the time out | 00:43 |
| falktx | it writes data but the other side never reads it (timed out, auto-closed) | 00:44 |
| falktx | it shouldn't auto-close, but neither should it time out. I already give it 5 seconds | 00:44 |
| falktx | blocking the audio for +5 secs is a lot of xruns | 00:45 |
| alex-EU | falktx: yep, i get those too. | 00:45 |
| falktx | alex-EU: I'll make it so that it doesn't auto-close. it's useful to debug for me, as I need to know why/what is blocking. but not so much for others | 00:46 |
| alex-EU | falktx: ok. | 00:49 |

| falktx | hmm eh | 01:28 |
| falktx | no xruns. too good to be true | 01:43 |
| falktx | ah, got some now. kontakt seems more cpu friendly than most synths | 01:45 |

| falktx | the laptop is really reaching its limits | 22:22 |
| falktx | now when I power it on it displays a message about "imminent failure", backup stuff and run diagnostics etc | 22:23 |
| falktx | I think I'll do that.... | 22:23 |
| JackWinter1 | falktx: sounds like possibly a smart (hdd) problem? | 22:51 |
| falktx | yes | 22:52 |
| falktx | JackWinter1: did that happened to you? | 22:54 |
| JackWinter1 | no, i never got any msg from smart until it was too late :) but i've had disks that appeared to work, to turn out to miss data and finally to die. | 22:56 |
| JackWinter1 | but i think there is a smartctl package that allows you to run tests on the disk, and they'll tell you if it's fucked | 22:56 |
| JackWinter1 | better save what you can from it, run tests, and then replace the disk... | 22:57 |
| JackWinter1 | if needed i guess | 22:57 |
| falktx | I believe the issue is the extreme cold | 22:58 |
| JackWinter1 | on arch ir appears to be called smartmontools | 22:58 |
| falktx | the disk makes buzzing noises when I start the laptop. but let it rest for a while (warming up) and it works good again | 22:58 |
| falktx | JackWinter1: the laptop has tools built-in in bios for testing | 22:58 |
| falktx | I prefer that since It won't be using the hdd while testing (ie, no OS loaded) | 22:59 |
| JackWinter1 | yeah, but this is a gui utility that might help you. in any case back up your source code if it's only on the laptop | 22:59 |
| JackWinter1 | and one trick to recover disks is to put them in the freezer as many problems are heat related | 23:00 |
| falktx | but this one fails because of the cold... | 23:01 |
| falktx | wound't that make it worse? | 23:01 |
| JackWinter1 | smart drives relocate bad sectors and tries to move the content to good sectors | 23:01 |
| JackWinter1 | i don't know. all i can tell you is that you'd better get the important stuff backed up | 23:01 |
| falktx | just some pieces of code. I formatted the laptop and did backups recently | 23:02 |
| JackWinter1 | and don't overwrite good backups with potentially bad ones..! | 23:02 |
| JackWinter1 | well, it's your laptop, but personally i'd use smartmontools to get an idea about what's going on, and possibly replace the drive if it's needed | 23:03 |
| JackWinter1 | in any case not a very nice surprise... i sincerely hope that ymmv and that it's nothing bad | 23:04 |
| falktx | I'll do some tests | 23:04 |
| falktx | hmm, better save the bookmarks too | 23:05 |
| JackWinter1 | think smartmontools allows you to run 2 tests, one takes about 2mins, and the other one several hours. but already just starting it reads diagnostics off the drive and might already give you an idea | 23:06 |
| falktx | I think this might just be the cold | 23:06 |
| falktx | it's really cold in my room... :( | 23:07 |
| falktx | ok, running tests, bbl | 23:10 |
| *** falktx has quit IRC | 23:10 | |
| * distrozapper prays for falktx staying able to post a smartctl -a /dev/sda protocol somewhere ;) | 23:43 | |
