Kernel Panic - Cubase Studio 4, OSX Leopard 10.5.7

Hello, I recently have been having Kernal Panic failure when attempting to close Cubase. My set up is in my signature. I’ve done some research on the internet, but haven’t found a whole lot that I can do besides cleaning everything and starting fresh, which I don’t want to have to do.

I updated the new 4.5.2 on the steinberg download updates. At first this seemed to help. But after I opened up an older project and then closed and attempted to shut down cubase, the kernal panic happened again.

I haven’t had it happen in the middle of a session, but if I leave the computer idle for a while, it will happen.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

just to be clear - what happens when you get your “kernal Panic” ? is just cubase crashing? or does your mac crash too, forcing you to restart?

a kernal panic is a system wide crash and often, not always, means a hardware issue. hard drives failing, ram ( most likely if its new - you got a bad stick or the seller sent you the incorrect ram) are likely culprits.

you need to supply more information to diagnos the issue. is there any particular steps that consistently reproduce the crash? have you installed any new software, or hardware lately?

if its just cubase and everything else is running fine then you could post the crash report here.

you said you just upgraded to c 4.52 from what version of cubase?

im running c4.52 on 10.5.8 on two machines and its very solid.

Thanks for the reply phidelity!

The whole mac crashes. When I try to close out cubase the screen turns grey and it tells me that I need to force a shut down by holding in the power button.

I haven’t installed any new hardware and was running just fine for almost 2 years.

I have recently installed Logic Express 8 in addition to some plug-ins. I actually noticed the issue shortly after doing so. Since, I have tried to uninstall/eliminate both Logic and the additional plugins I installed. Not sure I got everything out though as the uninstall was just a drag of those files to the trash.

Funny you ask about c4.52. I was actually running 4.52 and when I went to the cubase updates page, the 4.52 update was there, so I just installed it again. As I mentioned, things seemed to start working again as I was able to successfully close Cubase two times. But then I opened up an old project and when I attempted to close it out, I got the same error message.

Is a clean install of everything my best bet at getting back to normal again?

before you do a clean install can you run the mac hardware test from the installer cd? its not the end all of tests but it can help you with diagnosing some hardware issues. if the machine passes that then your hardware is less likely to be a candidate. there is a good 3rd party software that tests hard drives thoroughly … cant remember the name right now.

so you definitely have a kernal panic … the only 2x time i have experienced those the first was a failing system drive on an old g4 and the second was a combination of a bad ram stick on my g5 quad ( that machine was really picky with its ram) and that machine was power pig and it took a while to realize that there was an appliance that was on the same circuit which when it turned on would compete for the ac supply and mess with the machine. in both cases once i sorted the problem out i was fine again. in fact the old g4 is still an office machine now.

i would make sure your system drive is completely backed up before doing anything. then run the hardware tests.

are you still under applecare?

did you do any system maintenance after doing all of your recent upgrades? does any of the other software cause a kernal panic?

can you list what additional pluggins you have recently added - were they only logic au pluggs or any vst pluggs?

when you did your cubase upgrade did you check to make sure the elicenser is up to date?

lastly how much space is left on your system drive? if you are under 10% remaining from the total capacity of the drive lots of squirrelly things can go on.

I ended up just doing a clean install. I wanted to be sure that I had Logic and the additional plugins that I installed completely eliminated from my system. The plugins were purchased from some guy on craigslist. I should have known better.

So, now my initial problem has been resolved, but I’ve got a different issue now and it seems to definitely be with Cubase. I reinstalled everything (OSX Leopard 10.5.6, Lynx AES16, and Cubase Studio 4). I initially tried to open a recent project I was working on and it said it wouldn’t open because it was a newer version of Cubase (4.2.5). So, I downloaded the update from the Steinberg page. My project then loaded, but it is missing both Roomworks plugins.

I go to play the project and everything else seems ok, but then cubase shuts down on me. No more Kernal Panic, strictly Cubase shutting down.

So, I updated OSX to see if that was the issue. Still the same thing, Cubase shutting down unexpectedly.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Ok. So here’s where I’m at. I did some further research and thanks to maxhorwath on the archive forum (subject: Cubase Studio 4 update problem “missing file”). Noriofili had a similar issue as me with missing the roomworks plugin. I followed maxhorwath’s instructions to drag the defaults preference file to the desktop and relaunch cubase.

hd>users>your login name>library>preferences?cubase 4

This worked for getting back my roomworks program. I was hoping this would correct my other issue of Cubase closing unexpectedly, but is has not. I am still dealing with this issue and hoping someone has as easy a fix as max did for the other issue.

I can post the error log if it will help. It’s long. Maybe if there’s a specific section of this report that will help.

I appreciate anything anyone can do here. Thank you

to be clear cubase is still crashing but you no longer have kernal panics?

if so definitely post the crash report and any steps that recreate the problem.

BTW is there any reason that you have not uprgraded to 10.5.8? - it could be unrelated but i’m wondering if there may be some issue with the elicencer version and os version … just a shot in the dark.

Phidelity, thanks for keeping with me here. I actually am at 10.5.8, so I tried to change the subject line to reflect things accurately. Sorry for the confusion.

So what’s happening now is that only Cubase is crashing, or as it says “closing unexpectedly.” All other applications seem to be fine (although i don’t have much else on this mac) and the mac is not telling me to manually force a shut down by holding in the power button. I have tried relaunching Cubase when asked and it almost instantly “closes unexpectedly” again.

I found some interesting info in some additional research about setting up an additional administrator user and launching Cubase under the new user. The guy stated that he needed to move some files around to make it work, but didn’t say which files? I think I’m going to give this a go and see what happens.

Here’s the error report that Cubase gives me:

have you tried removing all third party pluggins that you have from your pluggin folder? just put them on the desktop and try relaunching cubase … if it opens fine then one by one add your plugs back in.

also try and remove your plugins blacklist text file — i thinks its n the USER->LIBRARY->PREFERENCES->CUBASE you can open it up and see if any plugins are blacklisted and you can chuck it. actually during this process drag your prefernces folder to the desktop … cubase will rebuild it but you will loose key commands and stuff of the like that you can replace later

this could be a pluggin version issue that has shown itself when you did your last update

also if you go to the old forum there are a number of posts that you can search through that have helped users with these kinds of issues. a lot of the replies are by members with stronger trouble shooting knowledge in this area. im away from my desk alot in the next few days so that may be faster for you

you didnt mention whether you checked to make sure you have the latest elicenser for your dongle … this little app can make things go sideways too

BTW im not very knowledgeable in deciphering the crash logs but some of the other senior users can hopefully help

one last thing when you do start up cubase what is the last few items the display in the splash screen? when i have had trouble - most recently it was a pluggin version that was incompatible with C4 which turned out to be a bug and its name was the one of the last things displayed.

I don’t have any third party plugins. Wiped them all out with my clean install. I will have to look into the elicenser point closer.

I tried the new admin user and that didn’t work. It actually slowed the tempo of older projects and then closed cubase anyway. So frustrating!!

yeah i hear you

definitely try removing the preferences folder then

and have you done system maintenance ie - repair disk permissions - something you should do after every time u instal any new software.

just to check you installed the original version of cubase then followed the upgrade directions - i seem to remember that was important for cubase 4 …? check the knowledge base on that one

Ok, so I repaired the disk permissions and then updated the elicenser. This seemed to work. I have now opened and edited several existing projects without any crashes from “closing unexpectedly.”

I do however have an issue with opening my Lynx Mixer. When I try to open it I get the following error message:

“Can not find a Lynx TWO/L22/AES16 card”

This is strange because the audio card is obviously working or I wouldn’t be hearing anything. I haven’t attempted recording any new tracks. I intend to do so later this week when I return from a trip.

Any thoughts on this error?

Thanks for all your help thus far Phidelity!!

Just bumping this thread to see if there are any recommendations on the new error. Maybe I need to check with Lynx?

i thought about this during the last round but forgot to mention it … is it possible you have a driver issue with the lynx? perhaps the version you are using is not compatible or there is a bug.

alternatively ,the message you received makes me wonder if there is a firewire buss issue? have you noticed any times when the device losses connectivity, even for a moment. maybe the firewire connection is intermittent (ie the solder on the port is developed a weak spot). or devices that are not playing well together … are there any other devices on the FW buss? when you get the message check the system profiler and see if the device is still showing up there.

just thinking out loud.


hth

I was on the Lynx support page and found some info on fixing the missing Lynx mixer issue. Couldn’t find anything specific to my issue, but followed the instructions to update the firmware. Ended up just having to use the driver uninstall package offered by lynx. Then reinstall the new edition of the driver.

This fixed me. I did have to remap all of my busses and it looks a tad bit different in that the ASIO driver actually calls out the slot it’s in.

I had a successful tracking session yesterday with no crashes, kernel panics, etc.

Phidelity, I sincerely appreciate all of your suggestions and support through this issue!!

So an overall summary of what I needed to do is as follows when kernal panics started upon closing Cubase:
Reinstall clean OSX, Cubase, Lynx Driver.

  • This caused Cubase to be a problem in that only cubase was crashing, not the entire Mac
    Updated OSX and Cubase to newest versions
  • Issue remained
    Updated the Cubase Elicenser
  • Fixed the Cubase only crash issue at this point
    New issue showed is face in that the Lynx Mixer wasn’t opening (couldn’t be found)
    From the Lynx site - Deinstall Lynx Firmware Driver and update to newest available.

FIXED!

fantastic

your welcome … compound problems can really be tricky and honestly most of the tips i shared with you i learned from more experienced users here so i am happy i could pass on the info.

nothing like a good system crash to get a better handle on trouble shooting :wink:
