[Bug]: Crash on startup in Bitwig (CLAP) under Wayland (niri) #70
Description
Activity
This one actually surprises me because my personal machine is Arch with Hyprland (which is also Wayland), and I'm also a Bitwig user, so this is like the setup that's the most tested.
Might be I forgot to list a dependency in the package or something. Did you install from the AUR or the precompiled
.pkg.tar.zstfrom the GitHub release page? Also, does the same thing happen with the VST3?I'm very busy atm, but I might just try to install Niri next weekend and see if I can reproduce it.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, if you used the precompiled package from the GitHub release page or the
dimethoxy-disflux-binpackage from the AUR, you could instead try installing thedimethoxy-disflux-gitpackage from the AUR, which will compile the plugin from scratch on your machine, that might fix the issue.- changed the title

Really sound like it might be a missing dependency issue.
Can you maybe tell me which way you used to install? This project provides:

CLAP not vst3
I got it from the github
Generally I wouldn't recommend the GitHub release on Arch. It's better to use the AUR one, like it says on the release page, because the one from GitHub can't be updated by Arch.
That being said, I don't think that's the issue because I just tried that exact version in a Virtual Machine with a freshly installed CachyOS + Niri and it worked out of the box. The only thing I did on that machine is to install Bitwig kinda like this:
sudo pacman -Syu sudo pacman -S yay yay -S bitwig-studioAnd then add the
Disflux.clapfile into the~/.clapfolder.Does Bitwig show you some sort of error message under:
File -> Show Dashboard -> Settings -> Plugins -> Show Plugin Errorsalr, i will go that way from now on thx, also, what about your name?
actually nvm, i ment dimethoxy and not you sry
Sorry for the late response.

Dimethoxy is basically a hobby project of mine that I work on for fun, with a few friends helping out with things like testing, bug hunting, ideas, and planning, while I write most of the code. The name "Dimethoxy" is really just a pseudo-brand that I came up with so the plugins we build have a somewhat recognizable and cohesive identity.

I should have thought of this sooner, but considering you mentioned other JUCE plugins misbehaving for you as well, it might be worth trying to disable the OpenGL renderer.
In Disflux, this can be done by editing the config file at
.config/Dimethoxy/Disflux/Disflux.configas follows:Find this value:
<VALUE name="General.UseOpenGL" val="1"/>
Set
valto0like this:<VALUE name="General.UseOpenGL" val="0"/>
I would assume other JUCE plugins also allow you to somehow turn it off, so if this works, maybe hit up the docs for other plugins you have issues with if they somehow let you disable the OpenGL renderer.
- Thx, i will try that when i have time and am back with my laptop, will be in a few weeks so thx a lot for now David Hess ***@***.***> schrieb am Do., 11.
