[Rosegarden-user] A blast from the past
Well, only 10 years ago, but it's about our own D. Michael McIntyre: https://www.linux.com/news/portrait-rosegardens-d-michael-mcintyre Thanks, Michael, for all the contributes you've made to Rosegarden! -- David W.

I used to run into that sort of problem all the time, which is why I switched to Ubuntu LTS releases. Debian Testing is especially horrible for this in my experience, although granted that experience is incredibly ancient at this point. Well, I prefer Debian. I have Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS on the other side of this system. The hardware is a 2.4GHz i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Ubuntu takes 3-5 minutes to start up, patiently displaying the Ubuntu logo and progress bar. Debian takes less than a minute. Debian Testing has been pretty reasonable for me. But the desktop is the Debian setup that also has the KXStudio repositories. Maybe they're the problem. On the laptop (with no KXStudio), Rosegarden runs fine although it sometimes has problems trying to print/print preview (triggers errors in Lilypond). I think it might be related to compositions with segments that don't END on a full measure. On the desktop, when RG was running, it had no problems with Lilypond. Did you compile Rosegarden from source? If not, that's probably the quick and dirty way to get rolling. If so, and you got this result, then there might actually be a problem we could solve here.
