Starting Mixbus sometimes hangs, till I get the open session dialog,... sometimes it comes up after a minute, sometimes not at all.. it s kind of weird.. then Mixbus works normally..

the console sais

Code:

Mixbus3

You could start with various command line options like "--disable-plugins" or ""--no-announcements" (use "-h" to see all options) and see if any of these have an effect.

Try

Code:

GTK2_RC_FILES=/nonexistent Mixbus3

EngineControl:et_state

Another clue. maybe some auto-connect to jack timeout/failure? Can you try to move the existing configuration out of the way

quit mixbus,

Code:

mv ~/.config/mixbus3  ~/.config/mixbus3.bak

restart mixbus.

It s working again! I had to delete .config/Mixbus and start again, and it works again! It s strange that it happened on two machines simultaneously, so maybe it was messed up by a manjaro update somehow..
