(L)ubuntu 16.04 64B, fresh install.
When I try to create a new session I get this "Could not create session in(...)" Hints? TIA

Solved!
For unknown reasons I was not added to the audio group. I saw that info when re-installing Mixbus from scratch via Terminal message. A simple "sudo adduser username audio" fixed it.

Hello There!
Same problem for me except that the provided solution didn't work for me. I'm on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 I just can't create new sessions in Mixbus. What am i messing? Thanks for your help!  (05-24-2016, 05:41 AM)Pedropt Wrote: Solved!

Possibly a silly question, but do you have permissions for the folder/drive where you want to create the session? If it is owned by root and not you then you will not be able to create new sessions. I have used Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and it works beautifully with MB.

Hey
Not a silly question at all. I checked the permissions Code: ls -ld /homeSo apparently everything's ok. Any other idea?

Well it shows ownership as root:root, and I doubt you logged in as root. You probably need to use chown and change ownership and group to yourname:yourgroup. In my case that would be sudo chown -R darrel:darrel /home/code

So I changed the ownership on the whole home folder, but it doesn't solve my problem :/
I don't get it.
/home should be owned by root
/home/Clark (and it's contents) should be owned by Clark mixbus installs in /opt owned by root. I made a link to launch mixbus: # ln -s /opt/Mixbus-3.6.0/bin/mixbus3 /home/me and type mixbus3 in a terminal to launch I would fix your permissions, rename your current mixbus folder, and do a fresh install of mixbus Cheers

Another thing to check...
Recall that you can specify the name of the folder where Mixbus will create all -default- sessions. Additionally, you can specify the name the folder where you might want to create other (non-default) sessions. For example, I specify my default session folder to be: "/home/pburyk/studio/default_sessions". This allows me to quickly startup or continue a scratch or test session. For my "real" sessions, I specify: "/home/pburyk/studio/projects/projectname/sessions/songs/songname" As you can see, this is more complicated than simply using my default session folder, but it is done in the name of organization. The whole point of this is to help explain that there are numerous areas in the specified path that Mixbus will need access to. So, in my case, I assure that Mixbus has read/write/execute permission to -every- folder and file that exist under my "studio" folder. This can be done by group association or using the chown & chmod commands (topics for further discussion). Additionally, some of us have chosen to locate our session areas out on an external HDD or separate file system. This helps protect our project areas from inadvertent harm or being run out of space by non-studio related work on the computer. Both of these cases require that these "detached" areas be "mounted" prior to asking Mixbus to work with them. So... As you can see, there are a number of potential causes (even more beyond what I've provided here) for getting the "can't create" message. All of them are pretty straight forward to trouble shoot and resolve if you know just the basics of Linux. If not, there are many others here who can help you get past this issue. Cheers! Patrick |
