Hydrogen plays normally the last used file, but asking for opening a new file it crashes. Here is the ouput:

Hey @lymber ,

Thanks for the log!

Looks like Hydrogen does not have sufficient permissions to create a folder in its user drumkit directory. Strange.

Could you run

ls -la $HOME/.hydrogen/data

and try start up Hydrogen again after running

chown -R $USER $HOME/.hydrogen/data

Or is there by any chance no space left on your hard disk?

[lymber]

Hi there!

I checked permissions and they were reasonable, in the sense that chown suggested below produces no difference in those permissions.

Free disk space? Maybe... I have more than 7GB available on that partition. Is it enough?

Best, lymber

Free disk space? Maybe... I have more than 7GB available on that partition. Is it enough?

Yes. More than enough.

Creating a folder is just requiring a very tiny amount of disk space. And it is not done by Hydrogen itself but the underlying Qt framework. If this fails occasionally, it might be a problem with the host OS.

I tried several things, like changing permissions, removing parent folders etc. But I couldn't reproduce the crash.

Could you check whether it occurs in the latest version as well?

This seems really weird mkdir unable to create directory : /home/lymber/.hydrogen/data/drumkits/AVL-RedZep-5-1.1/drumkit.xml

drumkit.xml is a (supposedly already existing) file so Hydrogen shouldn't try and create a directory with that name.

I would check if there's a newer Debian release of Hydrogen, unless you're comfortable compiling the 1.2.2 source from here https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/releases

Chances are there's either a bug in 1.2.0 or in the patches Debian usually adds to their versions.

drumkit.xml is a (supposedly already existing) file so Hydrogen shouldn't try and create a directory with that name.

Yeah. Back then the code was still in a more ... let's say diverse state with handling of paths to the folder and inluded XML file mixed up and sometimes even bearing the same variable names. I did encounter such errors as well. But it should be fixed in the latest release.

I would check if there's a newer Debian release of Hydrogen, unless you're comfortable compiling the 1.2.2 source from here

Since the 1.2.2 release we also ship AppImage files you can just download, mark them as executable, and run them without installation, compilation or whatsoever.

Hi, all.

The 1.2.2 AppImage runs perfectly here. Debian repos has this version only on experimental branch, which is something I'm not brave enough to try. ;)

I'll report the phenomena here as a bug in Debian system.

Thanks for all the support and kindness. Happy drumming!

Best, Alexandre.

Awesome!

IIRC next version update in the Debian repos will happen somewhere early next year. This should hopefully bring the latest Hydrogen release via your repos.
