[LINUX] Crash on a fresh Ubuntu Studio 26.04

Bugs
#1

Hi all !

Just installed the new version of Ubuntu Studio on my main workstation.
Vital crashes on Bitwig Studio, and then I tried to make it work with the standalone version and I get this message on the terminal :

/home/runner/work/vital/vital/plugin_framework/third_party/bgfx.cmake/bgfx/src/glcontext_egl.cpp (425): BGFX FATAL 0x00000002: Failed to create surface.
Abandon                    (core dumped) ./Vital

I’ll try to investigate but any help would be really appreciated ! :slight_smile:

My config :
Ubuntu Studio 26.04 - Linux kernel 7.0.0-14-generic
Intel i7 6700 4 Ghz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
32 GB RAM

Have a nice day !

Ok, so it works on 1.0.7 (standalone and VST) but obviously I can’t open the presets from last years… Works also with 1.5.4, will test on another versions later

Same happens with fresh Ubuntu 26.04 based on Wayland, fresh Reaper 7.70 and fresh Vital 1.6.4… Reaper crashes with vst, vst3 and clap versions of Vital. Trying to fix permissions without success.

While trying to install previous versions of Vital found that 1.6.0 working!
Try to install 1.6.4 after 1.6.0. Reaper crashes. Reinstall 1.6.0. Reaper is working now.

Waiting for 1.6.5

Same problems here with Ubuntu 24.04. Vital stable 1.0.7 and early access 1.6.4 are crashing in Reaper 7.69 and Bitwig 6.0.6

In Bitwig Vital opens and crashes when installing factory content. Reaper crashes immediately when chosing Vital as VST.

Sad situation for Linux users…

edit: Works for me when doing the following:

  • I use Linux ZIP instead of RPM and only copy over .vst3 directory
  • cancel installation of factory presets dialog when plugin opens
  • install factory presets using “import bank” dialog and choose the manually downloaded file
