Diphone Studio kernel question

gpic · December 9, 2012, 5:43pm

Hello,

I’ve recently bought The Diphone Studio standalone for Mac OSX (version 10.8.2, chipset 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), but I have a problem with Kernels operations, I suppose. The message appears when I run the analysis in Resan and Addan as well. Here’s the error message:

Can’t send command to kernel

I installed the software in another machine (version 10.5.8, chipset 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with an older operating system, because I’ve read about problems with kernels in Mountain Lion, but the error is the same.

Thanks

Hi,

Could you please :

open Resan.
Open “Preferences” panel
click on the “Defaults” button (bottom of the panel)

then retry to perform your analysis and tell if it does solve your issue?

Best,

Charles

Sorry,

You have also to choose the “Environment” tab (inside the Preferences Panel) and set the “Defaults” too.

Best,

Charles

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

I tried changing the prenferences’s settings as you suggested, but it still doesn’t work and gives me the same error.

Greetings,

Giovanni

Hi Giovanni,

Could you please perform a full re-install:

IMPORTANT: re-download the Diphone installer package wich have been updated !
delete Diphone Studio 4.2 from you applications/ folder
delete in System/Library/Frameworks/:

the Diphone.framework

the DiphoneStudio.framework

the SDIF.framework
then open the Disk Image and double-click on the .pkg file.

Once you re-installed everything:

Retry to launch Resan
perform the analysis

tell me how it goes and if it does still report any errors

thanks a lot in advance and sorry for the inconvenience,

best,

Charles

gpic · December 19, 2012, 7:56pm

Hi Charles,

I followed your instructions and did the re-install of Diphone Studio 4.2F but nothing is changed.

In the macosx version 10.5.8 now the message is different:

Snd error: Can’t write file “/Applications/Diphone Studio 4.2/ImpExport/Chant/crotale.temp.aiff”

Kernel return error -1

Thank you again,

Giovanni

picasso · December 20, 2012, 10:04am

Hi Giovanni,

OK that message is now more informative.

Could you please give me the your full Console log so i can see where this error occur during the process.

For that,

relaunch your Resan application
perform the analysis
once done (with the error) goto ResAn Menu > File > Save Console As… and save the text file wich you can open later with a simple TextEdit.app
then give me this file or its content (using copy / paste)

Thanks,

Charles

gpic · December 20, 2012, 4:07pm

Ok,

So here are the entire console messages in the version 10.8.2 wich is not changed:

I hope this will be useful.

Thanks for your abrupt answers,

Giovanni

picasso · December 20, 2012, 4:56pm

OK giovanni,

OK that could be a write access problem.

Could you go to Applications/Diphone Studio 4.2/

Select the ImpExport folder

press Command-I to get the information

look in the ‘permissions panel’

unlock the permissions (click on the lock and give your name/pass)

change all the permissions to “Read & write”

IMPORTANT: apply all those permissions to the included elements (for that click on the little pref icon below close to the ‘+’ and ‘-’ icons.

then launch Resan and try again to do the analysis

Thanks

Charles

gpic · December 21, 2012, 9:22pm

Hi Charles,

I think it’s working now on the 10.5.8 osx but not yet in the other computer (macbook pro 10.8.2) Is that normal?

Anyway, thank you very much for your help.

Best,

Giovanni

picasso · December 24, 2012, 11:44am

Hi Giovanni,

Glad that it solved the issue at least for Mac OS X 10.5.8 !

For 10.8, try to change all permissions on the main Diphone folder.

please report to me if you have still the "Can’t send command to kernel " or a different error.

Happy christmas,

Charles

gpic · December 24, 2012, 2:35pm

Hi Charles,

Yes, the message is still “Can’t send command to kernel”.

Finally I’m “exploring” the Resan program, great stuff!

Thanks and merry christmas!

Giovanni

gvanoni · January 9, 2013, 5:43pm

Hello,

I am having the same problem, I also tried all of the above but nothing worked. I am also on 10.8 (unfortunately came with the laptop) so I guess it’s a Mountain Lion issue?

Any feedback would be appreciated, I am eager to explore this SW… it’s aging well.

Gabriele

picasso · January 10, 2013, 11:59am

Hi Gabriele,

Yes, after few reports and tests, this is sadly a Mountain Lion issue that we are currently investigating. We hope we will have a working solution soon.

Thanks for your patience,

Best,

Charles

johannes · January 18, 2013, 10:17pm

hello there

and sorry for hijacking but i have serious problems to create a new topic here.

i just downloaded diphone.

when i try to analyse a sound with addan (using diphones"create dict. from sound" popup) i get this error message:

SuperVP::Initialization failed: please register an activation key by

using -init_key_file Ircam_Activation_Key.txt Kernel return error 22

(for the whole error message see below)

same error appears when i click validate or run in the analysis window.

did i miss something? i already activate diphone …

btw. iam on osx 10.7.3 running the latest diphone version (4.2)

thanks for help, johannes

Hi Johannes,

You should be able now to get a new key from ForumNet here (Using the “Send me the code” button) :

http://forumnet.ircam.fr/shop/fr/forumnet/46-diphone-studio.html

This new key should fix the activation issue for SuperVP.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience

Best regards,

Hi,

The folder seems to not be created from the Diphone installer.

Could you try to create it inside the your “Diphone Studio 4.2/ImpExport” folder :

/Applications/Diphone Studio 4.2/ImpExport/Fft/ <— create the missing Fft folder

Then retry your operation, that should prevent supervp from crashing.

Best,

Charles

kulpajj · June 11, 2015, 10:07pm

Yes, after few reports and tests, this is sadly a Mountain Lion issue that we are currently investigating. We hope we will have a working solution soon.

Charles,

I am running Mountain Lion til the end of my current musical project. I am trying to run a harmonic analysis in addan, but I am having this same problem even after making sure all permissions on the Diphone 4.2 folder are set to read & write. Currently, my error message just reads:

Kernel aborted

…of if I re-click on the Defaults button in Preferences, and rerun the analysis, I get the old:

Can’t send command to kernel

Did you ever come up with a solution for Mountain Lion users? I am evidently running Addan 3.5. Is there a more current version that fixed this for Mountain Lion?

thank you!

Jon
