To better keep track of problems, I would be grateful if you could report errors on the GitHub repository of this AUR package: https://github.com/neferin12/muse-sounds-manager-aur

For those getting the error of: free(): invalid pointer

Please edit the PKGBUILD and remove the following line: rm "$pkgdir/opt/muse-sounds-manager/libSkiaSharp.so"

This should fix the error until the package is updated.

Same here with that version and musescore-bin version 4.6.0:

I am having the same problem with version 2.0.4.872:

free(): invalid pointer

musescore-bin of version 4.6.0 is being used. I shall be grateful for any solution.

Hello. I do have GitHub account, but have no idea where or how to report an error!

I installed MuseScore (from "extra") today and then muse-sounds-manager-bin using yay. When trying to run the manager (via command line), I got the following:

2025-09-15 16:44:05.9721|INFO|Muse.Client.Linux.Services.SettingsService|Reloading settings... 2025-09-15 16:44:06.0906|INFO|Muse.Client.Linux.App|Attempting to set the users language to en-US using file avares://Muse.Client.Linux/Assets/Strings/en-US/Localizable.strings 2025-09-15 16:44:06.1134|INFO|Muse.Client.Linux.App|Setting SSL_CERT_DIR to /etc/ssl/certs 2025-09-15 16:44:06.1134|INFO|Muse.Client.Linux.App|Setting SSL_CERT_FILE to /etc/ssl/cert.pem free(): invalid pointer Aborted (core dumped) muse-sounds-manager

Grateful for any help.

Should this work with latest available MuseScore Studio 4.5.2? At least here this does not work out of the box. The downloaded instruments are not recognized in MuseScore. Any hints?

If anybody has an issue with getting libMuseSamplerCoreLib.so to install it is because muse-sounds-manager has an extra-special undocumented dependency on unzip.

I've lodged this issue with musescore they're looking to either explicitly add the dependency, which will mean this package will need to add it, or do the decompression by itself, which will mean the issue will go away without needing to add unzip as a dependency. Watch this space to find out which one is which for whether we will need to update muse-sounds-manager-bin accordingly.

@vvitez I am not able to reproduce that problem on my machine, I will try to do it in a fresh arch install this weekend

If you download and extract the deb file yourself, and then replace /opt/muse-sounds-manager/Muse.Client.Linux with the version in the deb file, it should work fine.

When I try to run it, i get: muse-sounds-manager Failure processing application bundle; possible file corruption. Arithmetic overflow while reading bundle. A fatal error occured while processing application bundle

(I chown 777'd the /srv/muse-hub just in case, but that didn't have anything to do with it i feel)
