Line 6 Edit Java Error on macOS High Sierra

[zurdyo]

Hey all,

I'm a Pod 2.0 user. I recently passed from El Capitan to macOS High Sierra and, after reinstalling the Line6 Edit, any time I hit the keyboard, the following error comes out:

 

Unhandled exception in AWT dispatch thread

 

Type: java.lang.RuntimeException

Message: Non-Java exception raised, not handled! (Original problem: Deprecated in 10_12... DO NOT EVER USE CGSEventRecord directly. Bad things, man.... bad things.)

 

This error withholds me from changing patch names, which is obviously a pretty big hindrance, since I'm preparing for a gig on monday. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling various versions of Java Runtime Environment, to no avail. 

 

Anyone else run into this issue and solved it?

 

Thanks,

 

Zurdyo

[jeananto]

Hello, same issue here on High Sierra and Java 6 to run Line 6 Edit

I have the same error when I touch my keyboard.

Please Line 6, Help!!!!

Same here. Makes the editing tool unusable. My PodXT Live has been durable and dependable so I hope Line 6 does a bug fix soon!

Same here. Mac High Sierra and Windows 8 (installed only for this). A lot Java installations, no one works.

[Hiena79]

[fadernoise]

I'm having the same issue! Has anyone had any luck?

[puppixx]

Same problem here. Any updates?

[ghassett]

Same problem here, too -- please Line 6, the Line 6 Edit app is completely broken for Pod XT users on Mac OS.  This should be a high priority -- the software is completely unusable.

 

Help?

[psarkissian]

Goes up to Windows 8, and goes up to Mac OS-X Yosemite. 

 

[ghassett]

Hi @psarkissian Can you be more specific about your earlier post where you wrote "Goes up to Windows 8, and goes up to Mac OS-X Yosemite"?

 

Are you suggesting that there is no version of Line 6 Edit for Mac OS beyond Yosemite?  What about customers who want to use their Line 6 products with a modern Macintosh?  Yoseimite was released four years ago, and there have been four versions of Mac OS since then (El Capitain, Sierra, High Sierra, and Mojave).  Thanks -- really looking forward to a workaround on this one.

[psarkissian]

"... no version of Line 6 Edit for Mac OS beyond Yosemite?" --- correct.

That is what is on the Downloads page when selecting POD XT, L6 Edit and the OS selection.

That is as high as it goes.

[JayKay76]

Hi,

Same error Mojave..

Any idea when this will be addressed?

 

Thanks,

 

JK

What about people using new versions of the operating system? How about releasing the source code?

Same Error - multiple instances of the same error. force quit. BS

[sss123]

Sort of a workaround - you can still edit tunings, just can't change names (get error when you touch keyboard),  I opened up a different program (used Sticky notes) and typed new name and then copied it (cmd+C).  When you go to workbench to paste it (cmd+V) you will still get the error message.  However, keep holding cmd and press continue on error message.  The name will still be highlighted and when you press V (while still holding cmd) it will paste the new name.  You can then send it to Variax.  Still messing around with it, but thought I would pass this along.

Users of other Line 6 legacy products (e.g. Variax 300-700) encounter similar issues.  32-bit software and Java 6 are no longer supported by macOS.

The workaround for me amounts  to installing Sierra (NOT High Sierra) on another drive or partition and booting that for legacy Line 6 sessions,

as described here:  https://line6.com/support/topic/46770-pod-hd300-edit-on-osx-mojave/?do=findComment&comment=297626

 

I know not whether this will work for Macs released after Sierra..

[TnMike]

I know Line 6 Edit works on my 2009 iMac running El Capitan. Anything after El Capitan I'm sure Line 6 has dropped the ball. Why...because they already have YOUR MONEY!!

Haha...

[gallen123]

Anyone at Line 6 reading these posts?  I've got the same issue.  I was finally able to find Line 6 Edit Software on an old hard drive I have.   But I cannot find any info about he FIX for this problem.  WHICH JAVA VERSION DO I NEED TO INSTALL? Some info I read says only install version 5 and some say 6.  I have had issues installing Line 6 software before and just do not want to have any problems with my main recording computer.

 

Bottom Line.  I need the Edit Software to manage my POD xt Pro and patch editing for my busy Producer's studio. Otherwise my POD is useless to me. I don't know if it will get anyones attention at line 6 or not, but do I need to start shopping for a different Guitar Modeler?  Seems like there are quite a few having this same issue.  And ready to jump ship.  Seems like LINE 6 might be  interested to know they are losing alot of customers. Maybe they don't care?

How much is any company going to care about a product that was discontinued more than 15 years ago?

@gallen123 You may have better luck with pod-ui: https://github.com/arteme/pod-ui/releases, but it may not fit your needs (yet) if you want to load patches from files.
