Ableton - %%USERNAME%% in Library.cfg and Options.txt not translating to real user name when Ableton first opens in shared environment

[dlondon]

Hi,

We have deployed Ableton Live in a multi-user environment which in my case are Mac computer labs which all have Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6. We use Sassafras as the license server.

I am seeing a problem with the two files Library.cfg and Options.txt. Initially to set up the base installation I logged in as an administrator and installed and configured the Library.cfg and Options.txt files with the changes as per the support pages and changed my user name in the paths in both files to %%USERNAME%% as per https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209775405-Centralized-administration-of-Live-in-a-multi-user-environment-with-Sassafras-

Both modified files were then relocated to /Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live 10.1/

Permissions on the files allow read by everyone

When a normal user logs in and starts Ableton for the first time, the copies of the files that are created in the users home i.e. in ~/Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live 10.1 still contain the %%USERNAME%% instead of the actual user name and lots of things are not right e.g. Location of User Library and Database Directory are not set.

Here is the top part of Library.cfg in /Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live 10.1/

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Ableton MajorVersion="5" MinorVersion="10.0_377" SchemaChangeCount="3" Creator="Ableton Live 10.1.6" Revision="04cf0aced295425d457145961b4fde60a4334f97"> <ContentLibrary> <CoreSlice /> <LegacyLibrary /> <UserLibrary> <LibraryProject Id="0"> <ProjectLocation /> <ProjectName Value="User Library" /> <DisplayName Value="/Users/%%USERNAME%%/Music/Ableton/User Library" /> <ProjectPath Value="/Users/%%USERNAME%%/Music/Ableton/" /> </LibraryProject> </UserLibrary>

And here is Options.txt in /Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live 10.1/

-Licenseserver
-DefaultsBaseFolder=/private/tmp/AbletonData/%%USERNAME%%/
-DatabaseDirectory=/Users/%%USERNAME%%/Music/Ableton/Database/
-DontAskForAdminRights
-EventRecorder=Off
-_DisableAutoUpdates
-_DisableUsageData

My windows friend had a similar issue with %%USERNAME%% and solved it by changing the variable to %USERNAME% so I also tried that. To test I removed ~/Library/Preferences/Ableton but still no good. Similarly I tried $USER but again no luck

I can go into the user files in ~/Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live 10.1/ and change each occurrence of %%USERNAME%% in Library.cfg and Options.txt and things start working but clearly that isn't the way it's meant to work.

Am I doing this the right way? Can you suggest something to help me get it working

Fix for Ableton Live User Library not being configured

Ok - a bit of an old post but @rrouleau contacted me about this.

With the Ableton Live 10.1.6 installation there is a known bug with the User Library creation. This is a really hacky "fix" created in frustration because Ableton were working on the new version and didn't commit to fixing the problem anytime soon if ever

You will need to get Library.cfg and Options.txt from a manual installation

   - Capture Library.cfg and Options.txt
    - Library.cfg needs to be modified and then copy to new location before capture
    - I'll call the user "adminuser" that installed the software

   - Change the two lines
<DisplayName Value="/Users/adminuser/Music/Ableton/User Library" />
<ProjectPath Value="/Users/adminuser/Music/Ableton/" />
to

<DisplayName Value="/Users/%%USERNAME%%/Music/Ableton/User Library" />
<ProjectPath Value="/Users/%%USERNAME%%/Music/Ableton/" />

  - Copy /Users/adminuser/Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live 10.1.6/Library.cfg to /Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live\ 10.1.6
  - Set ownership to be root:wheel for Library.cfg
  - Not sure how Options.txt got to /Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live\ 10.1.6 but it needs to be there too.
  - Using Jamf Composer I dragged the two files Library.cfg and Options.txt from /Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live\ 10.1.6 in Finder to the bottom left of Composer to get them captured. Renamed the object to AbletonLive10.1.6_LibraryPrefs and packaged as a DMG AbletonLive10.1.6_LibraryPrefs.dmg

Here is what my Library.cfg looks like

-DatabaseDirectory=/Users/%%USERNAME%%/Music/Ableton/
-DontAskForAdminRights
-EventRecorder=Off
-_DisableAutoUpdates
-_DisableUsageData

- Capture the user Ableton folder in Composer from your admin user so /Users/adminuser/Music/Ableton
- this should consist of the following 2 subdirectories
- /Users/adminuser/Music/Ableton/Database
- /Users/adminuser/Music/Ableton/User\ Library

- Deploy the Library.cfg and Options.txt files which are in DMG (AbletonLive10.1.6_LibraryPrefs.dmg) on your Jamf pro server now. The files will go into /Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live\ 10.1.6

- Run script to back up User lib (just in case) - I had to do this post deployment and people had already started using Ableton Live so I was cautious
I called the script Ableton-SaveUserLibrary.bash and ran it via Jamf Remote

#!/bin/bash
# Ableton-SaveUserLibrary.bash
# Instead of blowing away the User Library files (if they exist) will rename them as part of fixing Ableton 10.1.6
