Looking for #linuxaudio users with an #nvidia graphics card to see if the #Bitwig Connect control panel app works for you. You don't need to have the Connect hardware, just install

https://www.bitwig.com/get-connected/

and let me know if the app starts or crashes. You can boot it from the command line for more verbose output:

$ bitwig-control-panel

This version used to work in Ubuntu 25.04 but... (background follows)

Get Connected | Bitwig

Control Panel, drivers, and other resources for Bitwig Connect.

@icaria36 It runs on my Linux Mint 22.2 w/Nvidia display. I have intentionally set my Bitwig graphics to OpenGL instead of Vulkan (not sure if it is reading the state of my graphics driver from Bitwig preferences).

@ambientspace Changing Bitwig to OpenGL changes nothing in the control panel app, which, ok, makes sense because they are different apps.

I wonder whether the control panel app works for you because you have older nvidia drivers (it used to work for me just a few months ago). Anyway, interesting.

@icaria36 I'm using the NVidia driver version 580.95.05

Have you tried unplugging the BW Connect device to see if the app will open with nothing connected?
