Karel: BUG REPORT VePro

[G.R. Baumann]

Hi Karel, It might be useful to communicate with your contact in apple on this. Here is the situation: Logic 9.02 and Main Stage 2.0.1 are affected As Sigurd Foshaug AC Enterprise Support Advisor - EMEIA, confirmed there are reported cases and apple is already looking into it. - THANKS SIGURD! On macs that have VePro installed, Logic will not start mainstage at all, it hangs up on opening jampack manager, or it takes literally 5-10 minutes before it may start. Logic itself spends way too long (sometimes 15-20 seconds) to initialise loop browser on startup. This has been reported to apple on several occaisons now. We temporarily fixed it by using terminal and exchanging the loop browser in the package content of Mainstage, using a 9.0 version as a workaround, and in deed it works for now. If you like to get in contact with Sigurd, send me a PM and I give you his email. Hope that helps Best wishes Georg

Forgot something. Some further information that might be helpful. After quitting all VEPRo applications Activity monitor still shows vsldemon2 (Not responding), on force quitting this task, it will launch itself again. Sigurd could bring you probably in contact with the one who looks into this part I guess. I ran Logic and Mainstage now a few times, and the workaround is good so far. No idea whether it is Logic or VePro, but it looks like all users that reported to apple with that problem had VePro installed.

works fine here. it"hangs" like 15 sec on that jampack manager thingy and then starts fine.

Is this with the last public beta? Installing that version should fix this issue. Thanks for reporting.

[G.R. Baumann]

You're welcome Karel. In my case it is: - OSX 5,8 - Logic 9.02 - Mainstage 2.0.1 - VePro 4.0.4536 As for 15 or more seconds Logic checking on loop browser/ jam pack manager, this shoud not be, it is finished here in 1-2 seconds. Apple had plenty cases such as mine, and only because we were talking on the phone we found out that it will start eventually after 8 minutes or so, but buggy.

[Karel]

You should try using 4.0.4657 instead.

[G.R. Baumann]

HI Karl, Thanks, but I burned my fingers twice with beta releases badly. Not from VSL I might add, but as a result I do not touch betas anymore. If I had a mac around that is not critical to my owrk, I would do it. Just out of curiousity, what is it with that vsldaemon2?

[Paul]

Hi Georg,

vsldaemon2 is exactly what the name suggests - a second vsldaemon.

Best,

Paul

 4.0.4536 IS a public beta.  Why would you hesitate to install 4.0.4657 ?

[G.R. Baumann]

In my User area tw OSX Version are offered, 4657 is listed as public beta.

[Bill]

 Yes, and 4.0.4536 is also a public beta

[G.R. Baumann]

Hi Bill, strange, but I am pretty certain when I bought it, that it was not listed as beta. At the moment the only one in my user area listed as regular is 4416 and of course public beta 4657.

[Bill]

Now that I look back through the builds, I see that I’m mistaken; 4536 was not a beta, but the first update.  4416 was the initial release.  They pulled 4536 off, saying that the betas were more stable than it was.
