Hi :)

because of troubles with Rosegarden for 64 Studio 2.1, I'll try to use
Qtractor with 64 Studio 3.0. As long as 64 Studio 3.0 isn't released,
I'll run Qtractor and Fluidsynth-DSSI under Suse 11.0, but there seems
to be problems for Fluidsynth, because when running Qtractor and Qsynth,
I also get much too often crashes.

It doesn't matter what I run, Rosegarden under 64 Studio or Suse, or
Qtractor under Suse. It's not clear which application will make the
systems unstable, but running jackd and Qsynth alone under Suse, let
Qsynth crash.

The used hardware, when I did the debugging:

Mobo ASUS M2A-VM HDMI
BIOS version 2201
On-board sound and HDMI are disabled, the HDMI card is removed
The on-board ATI Radeon X1250-based graphics is controlled by the VESA
driver
CPU AMD Athlon BE-2350
Sound card TERRATEC EWX 24/96
Swissonic USB MIDI device, 1 input, 1 output
RAM 1024 MB + 1024 MB - Framebuffer 128 MB

What I did before debugging and when I debugged, also the versions of
the relevant applications and other relevant information for the Suse
install:

Note: When I made test or tried to make music, I used different versions
for some software, different kernel-rt and BIOS versions.

/etc/security/limits.conf
@audio - rtprio         99
@audio - memlock unlimited
@audio - nice          -19

kernel-rt 2.6.25.18-0.2-x86_64 from openSUSE-11.0-Updates
alsa 1.0.16-39.1-x86_64 from repo-oss
alsa-firmware 1.0.16-24.1-noarch from repo-oss
jack 0.109.2-36.1-x86_64 from repo-oss, before the debugging I downgraded to
jack 0.109.2-0.pm.1-x86_64 from http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/
some days ago the BIOS version was 2101, while fluidsynth and
libfluidsynth1 were 1.0.8-50.1-x86_64 from repo-oss
actually fluidsynth and libfluidsynth1 are 1.0.8-0.pm.1-x86_64 from
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/
qsynth 0.3.3-0.pm.1-x86_64 from http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/

This applications didn't run, when I debugged:
fluidsynth-dssi 0.9.1-188.1-x86_64 from repo-oss
qtractor 0.2.2-0.pm.1-x86_64 from
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/

I turned on the monitor and the computer.
I booted Suse 11.0 and started a KDE3 session.
I run KPowersave, CPU Frequency Policy: Performance.
I run Konsole.
I run su, 2 times ntpdate, Ctrl+D for exit.
I run Thunderbird and created a new messages for this report.
I run Firefox.
I run hwinfo --help and hwinfo --memory.
I run Konqueror file browser.
I run uname -r.
I run YaST2 GUI, resp. just Package Manager and Repository Manager.
I closed Konqueror.
I closed YaST2.

I started the debugging with making a core file for Qsynth.

I got this new messages in Shell (No. 1):

I guess this is ok, because of adding and editing engines for Qsynth.

I was thinking of taking a look if the client names for Qsynth MIDI and
Audio were fine, but before I could take care of this, QSynth crashed
and jackd was killed.

To the Shell (No. 1) messages was added:

I closed Shell No. 2 and continued with Shell (No. 1).

Qtractor.conf

I opened Konqueror file browser. In the users home there is a file
qtractor.log, but it includes no messages for today and there also is no
core file. Without a core file, I can't go on with gdb, I only can add
the latest Qsynth.conf.

I started at ntpdate atom.uhr.de 25 Nov 14:56:17 and finished at ntpdate
ntp.favey.ch 25 Nov 19:14:05.

Cheers,
Ralf
