A collaborator on my current project is trying to get puredyne set up
so that he can try out my supercollider code with his video
processing (he had been doing this in Windows, but now my sc code
depends on a bug fix that I can build in p:d but presently not in
Windows).
He's encountered the issue where p:d tries to boot but hangs when
"starting init crypto disks." Like, it took him six failed attempts
after a complete shutdown of the machine to get p:d to launch again.
That's rather soured him on this distribution, to the point that he's
now looking at Planet CCRMA instead.
Are there any workarounds?
He's using a ThinkPad T61 Model 7658-03U, Bios 7LETC6WW (2.26).
He also said grub came up for him with white text on an off-white
background, which didn't quite inspire confidence. I couldn't suggest
anything since I haven't seen that issue myself. (My machine did hang
on start up a couple of times, but in my case, it booted properly on
the second try.)
Thanks,
James
