Re: [PD] Pd freezing on startup in ubuntu dapper

[John Harrison]

Pd is still completely freezing my ubuntu Dapper machine. I have tried recompiling with Pd 0.40.2 and still absolute and instant freeze. So I tried the suggestion below. The debugger reports: Starting program /usr/local/bin/pd [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1211066688 (LWP 6400)] Then the machine is completely frozen again, so I have to pull the plug. I also tried editing /etc/hosts as was suggested here: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-07/029853.html and that didn't help either... I have used this on many ubuntu Dapper machines so I don't know what's so special about this one. Could it be the 2 dual-core Pentium Xeons? Could it be the M-audio Delta 1010LT card? When I run $ pd -verbose I get no response at all. Just the instantly frozen machine. And I have tried the various flags (-nrt -nomidi -nosound) and others... -John Frank Barknecht wrote: Hallo, John Harrison hat gesagt: // John Harrison wrote: I have now tried pd -nrt -nosound -nomidi and it was the same thing: complete computer freeze with even mouse and keyboard not responding, requiring me to pull the plug. I've tried both as root and not. Can you try to start Pd under a debugger? That is: $ gdb /usr/bin/pd (gdb) run and if Pd crashes and your machine is still alive try to catch a backtrace with: (gdb) bt Ciao
