The forum

Here is the script for the version that I have. As more installs become available (either using a disc, download, etc.), we will be able to make any small adjustments to the shortcuts. Other than that, the program will work for sure. This should also work for 64 bit, but I have not tried. I will update when I can.

Here it is:

And here are a few screenshots:

Sweeeeet. Thanks, Pierre.

Also, for the icons, they are all exactly the same as ableton live 8, so if you could just copy the icons/logos from the live 8 folder and stick them in the live 9 folder on your server, then this one should be complete.... for now. :)

Hi DJYoshaBYD,
I validated the script, there's still that GC_DONT_GC=1 that I'm not sure is useful at all though.
Also, I reused the resources from Ableton Live 8 since you didn't provide any...

Cheers,
Pierre.

Ah. I missed that.

I was going to provide more resources, but as stated above, they arent any different except for the screenshots, so I figured why do it again.

Is all of that ok?

I won't remove GC_DONT_GC=1 until I get some feedback that it's really unnecessary.
Beside that if sharing resources with AL8 was the right thing to do, then everything is fine ;)

Ok, cool. Just making sure. Gracias!

Thanks for this!
but i'm just a newbe on linux. can you explain where to put that script, please?
i already installed wine and downloaded the win version of ableton live 9.
thank you! :)

You need to hit Install, and look through the list for it. Its already in the Install windows list.

For more information on installing apps using PlayOnLinux, please refer to the documentation:

http://www.playonmac.com/en/manual.html

ok, thanks :) I downloaded the trial version. in that zip file there is a .msi file.
but playonlinux required me to select a file called "Live Suite 9.exe"
where can i find this file?

Just select the MSI file. It should run it just like with the exe.

"Error in POL_Wine
Wine seems to have crashed"
ok thanks for the patience... i'm not a lucky guy... :)

Not a problem.

Are you trying to run the ableton 9 or ableton 8 script? There really shouldnt be any reason that it doesnt work. Let me check something real quick.

Ok, so, I made a change to the script. Close PlayOnLinux completely, let it re-open, remove the virtual drive for ANY previous ableton installation you did (in the Configure window), and try the Ableton 9 install again, chosing the .MSI file.

i followed your instructions but i have the same log message... Error in POL_Wine.
tomorrow i'll try again :)

In order for us to troubleshoot, please read the stickies about how to get your debug output, as we need that to troubleshoot.

Hello,

I've got the same problem
     "Error in POL_Wine
     Wine seems to have crashed"
when I try to install Ableton Live 9.

Is it possible, that the problem is the x86 architecture in the ableton9 script, since Ableton is a 64bit application? (wild guess..)
Here are some logfiles:
.PlayOnLinux/logs/Ableton\ Live\ 9.log -> http://sprunge.us/PSBI
.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/AbletonLive9/playonlinux.log -> http://sprunge.us/CiTW

regards

Its only compatible with the 32-bit version. That is what I tested it with.

hey DJYoshaBYD, thanks for the script!

live9.1 installed fine on ubuntustudio 13.10, but...
i get lots of xruns in jack and cpu-use doubles if i check multiprocessor support in live prefs.

reaper for example runs xrun free with same buffersize.

do you have any idea?

anybody?

thanks

You cannot use multiprocessor support through wine at this time, to my knowledge. It needs to be the 32-bit version of Ableton, in a 32-bit virtual drive (the script does this by default), and multicpu support on ANY music program through Wine/POL (Reason, Ableton, etc) needs to be disabled. I get great performance when not using multicpu options. My mobilepre usb gets down to 5.5ms (although slightly shaky), but I can run at 6.2ms or so at 192 for the buffer.

Also, it really helps to have real-time access enabled. I believe UbuntuStudio does this by default, but I would still check. Wine and low latency are not perfect, but it gets better and better.

You may also want to try testing Live with a newer version of Wine (installed through POL, changed in the Configure window in POL), as there have been a LOT of releases and TONS of updates, so this issue may actually be corrected in newer versions. :)

Are there any news about Plugins, the new version 9.1.6_32?

I use Linux Mint 17 quiana 64bit.

Whats about the different versions of Ableton Live?

Is it the same installation process?
