With respect, Ralf, this isn't true - Synfig starts OK here, and seems to run OK. I think you're ignoring the advice given to you by a number of people on a number of occasions in the past, namely - use the install as released, and only make changes if you know in advance what the likely outcome will be. If the install as released doesn't do what you want, then sorry - you have to go back to Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OSX; obviously Linux is not yet sophisticated enough for your needs. But if you decide to stick with Linux in spite of the shortcomings you have identified, you shouldn't start making changes willy-nilly (eg weird things like setting up chroots) - it then becomes impossible to know whether the issue you face is present in the release, or (more likely) is due to your tinkering, and in that case no-one on earth can tell you what you should do to revert. So basically, you pays your money and you takes your choice - pay out for proprietary stuff for its (for you) advanced features, or use what's given to you in the 64Studio release, without chopping it up almost at random. In *theory* the devs could do lots of work to deal with your issues, but for *practical* reasons they are concentrating on getting a decent, stable distro into the hands of average users. I don't like to be rude, but I would like to see fewer postings from you (especially the ones where you fire off an email and then follow it up with two or three postscripts). I'm really not interested in hearing how someone has buggered up his distro by making changes of his own devising - in my view, since you have a great deal of audio expertise, your time would be far better spent in taking the distro as released and writing some howtos or tutorials for the software included. That would be a great help to everyone who uses 64Studio. Constantly pestering developers, who have little enough time as it is, is not really constructive. As an experiment, if you feel the need to reply to this, could you do it in 10 lines or less, in one email only, and then impose a self-denying ordinance on yourself not to post to the list again for 7 days? -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.cymraeg.org.uk - Welsh-English autotranslator www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
