dear list,

I had the arduino-test patch running with firmata on the board - vereything worked out fine.

Then something happened to my arduino board and now everytime I start Pd-extended (actual version on mac os x 10.7) it crashes on startup.

Strategies to solve which did not help:

1. opening the files with older pd version, deleting everything so they are empty and then open them up with pd-extended again; the files are empty - pd-extended still crashes

2. searching for some pd-lock file which I did not find (wanted to remove it)

3. remove the corrupt files entirely from the list so pd-extended can't find them when it tries to open them

4. open a well-known working other pd-file and open it with the "open with pd-extended" function in the contextual menu of the mouse - still pd-extended wants to open the corrupted other files - and, guess what, crashes.

5. do a clean install of pd-extended - same behaviour as above...

none of this 5 strategies hat any effect besides eating my time

3 Questions:
Why does pd-extended want to open the corrupt files?
How to stop pd-extended to open corrupt files?
How to start pd-extended with "do not open anything - just start up naked"?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Yours sincerely
Wolki

Now I started Pd-extended on the command line (and unplugged the Arduino) - the message is:

$ ./Pd-extended
tk scaling is 0.999016715831
Pt_Start() called
bind: Address already in use (48)
pd: exiting
Bus error: 10

Could somebody make clear how to recover from this error please?
THX in advance.
Wolki

Solving strategy to open with command-line option -noprefs also does not work

Thanks to all the people who read over this:

After deleting ALL my PD-installs (not only PD-extended, also PD-40something and others) PD-extended opened again without crash.

I also did a reboot in between as suggested by a windows user - and wow: this Windoze-like strategy somehow automagically worked out
Please do not ask why - I have no idea!

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but since I found this with a search, I figured other people may do the same.

The problem is with Lion saving the application's state. So what you need to do is to clear the save state. Easiest way I found was to follow the instructions on here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/17/delete-specific-application-saved-states-from-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-resume/
and delete "org.puredata.pd.wish.savedState"

If you want a terminal command, this should work:

rm -R ~Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.puredata.pd.wish.savedState

You may need to prepend sudo to it.

Hope this helps

I think you mean:

rm -R ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.puredata.pd.wish.savedState

with a / between the ~ and the Library

I made a GUI plugin to delete and disable the Lion saved states. Copy-n-paste this code and save it to a file called ~/Library/Pd/lion-saved-state-crash-fix-plugin.tcl

if {$::windowingsystem eq "aqua"} {
    ::pdwindow::debug "Removing Mac OS X Lion Saved State and disabling it"

    set savedstatedir "$::env(HOME)/Library/Saved Application State/org.puredata.pd.wish.savedState"

    # unlock the folder to delete the contents
    exec /usr/bin/chflags nouchg "$savedstatedir"
    
    # delete the contents
    file delete [glob -directory $savedstatedir -type f -- *.*]

    # lock the folder so nothing can be written to it
    exec /usr/bin/chflags uchg "$savedstatedir"
}

thanks guys, you saved my life

tried this one though no results

I was thinking that there might be some incompatibility issue with the new xcode tolls update i made to lion, I don't know what else might be the problem

Attached is my crash report
Some help would be really appreciated

http://www.pdpatchrepo.info/hurleur/crash-report.rtf

The beta release should work much better on Lion and newer:
https://puredata.info/downloads/pd-extended/releases/0.43.4

Hi, Hans and thank you very much,
unfortunately this version crashes as well at start up.
Maybe it has to do with some system files, I can't find any other reason.
Did you checked the crash report?
Maybe there's assigned the problem.

I'm at the end of my tether here... I've done literally EVERYTHING suggested on multiple websites, I've deleted preference and saved application state data from the user library, deleted preferences from the volume library, saved hans' GUI plugin, deleted Pd-extended and installed the beta, restarted my mac, and it still won't work. PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried posting to the pd-list?

I just posted. I think I'm having the same problem like Jamestocher. This is frustrating, as I just started getting the hang of this.

A combination of http://puredata.info/docs/tutorials/HowToTurnOffResumeWindowsForPDOnMacOSX107Lion

and understanding libraries a little more fixed this problem for me.

EDIT: In that regard, what meant "understanding libraries"? i tried any of the afore mentioned methods, read through all the tricks in various threads and still couldn't make PD-extended 0.43.4 to stop crashing on startup.

WATCH THAT HOSTS FILE!
And make sure it is in the right location: /private/etc/hosts

My system log on ox 10.7.5 read upon first startup
"defaults: The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/../org.puredata.pdextended.default, verbose) does not exist"

after that and when attempting to start PD again
"com.apple.launchd.peruser.501: ([0x0-0x3d03d].org.puredata.pd.wish[2277]) Exited with code: 3"

The Terminal command "/Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -stderr" got me "WARNING: connect to pd failed, retrying port localhost:5402."
until i quit the process. in the meantime PDs icon in the dock flashes. Port number varies, starting from 5400.

Here i finally guessed, that my hosts file, which had the correct entries, was not in the right position. But at least i also found out, that Lion requires it's own structure within the hosts file: If you customize it, then put your own entries BEFORE the the standard 127.0.0.1 block. Read more about this here: http://thecoredump.org/2011/09/editing-the-hosts-file-in-mac-os-x-lion/
