  • vsldeamon.exe crashing on shutdown

    Hi there,

    I updated Vienna Ensemble to v2 build 2870. But now when I want to shutdown my sysem vsldeamon.exe is not responding.

    I'm controlling this pc via Lan with my Euphonix MC. The MC software is already down when I shutdown and vsldeamon.exe becomes frozen so my only option is to turn the system off by holding down the power switch because at that time I've lost keyboard and mouse via the MC.

    Is anyone having problems with vsldeamon.exe when shutting down their system.?

    Greetings Martijn Schimmer

    I shut all programs down before I switch off. Is it possible to shut down in a different order? I'm using Remote Desktop, and have no problems with this.

    Yes, now I hit CTRL ALT DEL  and shutdown svldeamon.exe in taskmanager before shutting down. But sometimes I forget and then there is no way back. Because there's no phisical keyboard and mouse connected to the system.

    Martijn, how is the shutdown process initiated? i have quite some machines running *headless* (no mouse and keyboard attached) with a running vsldaemon, but as daryl using windows remote desktop.

    maybe you could find out more sending a shutdown command via network (open a command prompt, type shutdown -m \\computername)

    if that works than your currently used method keeps something open accessing the vsldaemon

    I upgraded one of my VE and have the same problem. vsldeamon hangs the shut down process.

    could you please post version number and operating system as well as how you shutdown your system?

    Vienna Ensemble v2 build 2870 on windows XP. I shut down the way I've always done on all my machines. I quit V-Stack, then after VE and V-Stack shut down I exit Vienna Ensemble Service. All looks fine to this point. I then shut down the machine. Now, ever since upgrading VE 2870, I get a error message on shut down that the VSLdaemon is not responding to shut down. I have to click to force shutdown.

    I've been getting this too since the VE update.

    Same here on XPx64. Quit all applications, shut down and VSL deamon hangs.

    Same here after latest update (2870) on XP 64 on 2 different PC's. Didn't happen on prior version with either machine so a bug obviously.

    I'm having the same problem. Only occured after the update to build 2870. I'm using Windows XP Home. On shutdown I have to manually end the process when it hangs.

    Any word from the VSL team about this bug?

    No word from VSL team yet. But I think this is somthing they have to look into because a lot of useres have the same problem it seems. I now shutdown vsldeaomon.exe via taskmanager before I shutdown the PC. When I do this I can keep controling the PC via my Euphonix MC over the network. When I froget this and shutdown I have to hardreset the PC to shutdown. I did not report this a an official bug because I don´t know where to do this on the the Vienna site.

     Just installed VSL and Ensemble on 2 new machines (winxp64, shuttle xpc, 8g ram) one hangs the other doesnt..not sure if I updated both to 2870 but I thought I did...Like the previous user I 'vnc' to that computer so figuring out what caused the hang was a pain...but lo and behold it was "VSLDaemon"...tomm.  I'll check to make sure both versions are the same...either way I'll report back.

    all the best

    Nope...they both hang on shutdown.  At this point I have to manually close VSL daemon before shutting down.  A real pain. 

    please fix soon
