Mac OS Sierra

hatfab

Hi, anyone knows about Mac OS Sierra compatibility ?

Skulpture

I've been running it for a week or two with no issues.

hatfab

Ok, thanks !

Armando

Yes no issues for now

So, I updated to macOS Sierra. Now Isadora is launching incredibly slooooooowwwly. The color wheel is rolling for teen number of seconds. Not a big deal because at least it works but it doesn't seems safe :((

hatfab

Here is what exactly append :

When I launch Isadora the startup window opens. If freeze on **_Networking : Initialising_** for 15 sec, then the process continue, freezing a bit on **_Midi : initializing_****,** then startup window disappear and the **color wheel roll during 45 sec** before the soft get ready. Next, when **I launch my patch, it takes 40 sec** to open the window with all my connection.

At this point, I have to tell that this don't append on the iMac 27 but only on the Macbook Pro. The iMac also ride a macOS Sierra but in this case all works fine.

Has anybody a way to explore ?

Thank you very much

If someone is interested with the console log file, here are the last lines that tells about BUG:

Focus on the time, it takes near 1 min to achieve the start process !

Hello everyone,

Izzy is displaying quite a significant lag when I place actors in workspace (actor does not follow mouse smoothly). Framerate drops to under 10fps during this process as well. Hopefully this screen capture will demonstrate my problem. Any ideas?

Many thanks

Hi ! Anyone knows about this ? :

BUG in libdispatch client: kevent[EVFILT_MACHPORT] monitored resource vanished before the source cancel handler was invoked

Thanks !

Dear All,

I'll be testing with Mac OS Sierra starting tonight and report back. (I hadn't upgraded yet.)

Best Wishes,

Mark

Dear All,

I've done some work on @Paz 's problem, and have a build that I am willing to give out if you've 1) experienced this slow drawing issue and 2) are willing to try a relatively unstable build so I can get some feedback.

If you're willing to give it a go, please PM me.

@hatfab: were you disconnected from the Internet entirely when you saw this long delay? I cannot recreate this problem, and as least a couple of people indicated above, they've been running Sierra without any difficulty. @hatfab, please file a formal bug report with the team so that we can get your Isadora file in case that's part of the problem.

Has anyone else seen delays of this nature when starting up or opening a patch?

Best Wishes,

Mark

Hi Mark !

What is a formal bug report ? Is there a form somewhere ?

I've installed a clean macOS Sierra on an erased Hard Disk on a Mac Book Pro :

- MacBook Pro (Retina, mi-2012)

- 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7

- 16 Go 1600 MHz DDR3

- NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 Mo / Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 Mo

- Monitor 15,4 pouces (2880 x 1800)

**All that append is discribed here :**

When I launch Isadora the startup window opens. If freeze on Networking : Initialising for 15 sec, then the process continue, freezing a bit on Midi : initializing, then startup window disappear and the **color wheel roll during 45 sec** before the soft get ready. Next, when **I launch my patch, it takes 40 sec** to open the window with all my connection.

At this point, I have to tell that this don't append on the iMac 27 but only on the Macbook Pro. The iMac also ride a macOS Sierra but in this case all works fine.

Help please !

Thank you

you can find the link in my signature.

@hatfab

Since the machine has 2 video cards, are you able to define (usually in the nvidia control panel) for Isadora (the application) to only use the nVidia card.

This may solve a common problem caused by a power saving feature, where the video card used is swapped back and forth to save power.

Just a thought.

@Michel

What do you want to show me with your link ?

Thanks

Michel

@hatfab

Well this was your question: **What is a formal bug report ? Is there a form somewhere ?** and the link in my signature brings you to the page with the form.

@Hatfab,

We still have not been able to recreate the long delay problem.

Regarding this in the console: kevent[EVFILT_MACHPORT] – this is not an Isadora problem. It's a Sierra problem. See this article where developers are seeing this in lots of places: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/254188/rmbp-unable-shut-down-after-upgrading-to-macos-10-12-sierra-16a323/254400#254400

Similarly, the messages about "PtUSBMIDIDriver" are not coming from Isadora. More likely, it is a MIDI driver installed on your system that is invoked when Isadora opens up the MIDI ports. Could "Pt" stand for Pro Tools maybe? Go to /Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers and see what drivers you see there. Do you see one called PtUSBMIDIDriver? What happens if you remove it? Perhaps this driver is not compatible with Sierra?

Best Wishes,

Mark

@Michel @Mark

Ok, I didn't see it, Thanks

@Marc

- I've tried with both _isadoramac-245b10-std_ & _isadoracore222f00-std_ on **macOS Sierra** and both have the same issue

- I've done a clean install of **macOS Sierra **so no drivers for anything are installed

- I'm back with a clean install of **Mac OS X El Capitan** and all works well.

I've no time to go further, I'll wait for an update of **Sierra** that perhaps will fix this issue.

Thank you for your help !
