Bug#585380: [audacity] hangs suddenly, can't find a pattern.
Hi Arnfinn, audacity 1.3.5 tends to crash from time to time. The releases after 1.3.5 improved stability and audacity 1.3.12 is stable for me (no crash in months). Looking at your backtrace, there are some debug symbols missing. Without them it won't be easy to understand the issue. Can you install audacity-dbg and the debug package for jack. A backtrace is useful for crashes, but less useful for for freezes. It's much simpler to debug a freeze if it can be reproduced. I doubt that your issue will be fixed if there is no way to reproduce it and the package in squeeze doesn't have the issue. -- Benjamin Drung Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Maintainer (www.debian.org) signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
Bug#585380: [audacity] hangs suddenly, can't find a pattern.
Hei Benjamin, Sorry this took some time. I still have the same version Debian Version: 1.3.5-2+lenny1. The version looking at Help -> About Audacity says: Audacity ® 1.3.5-beta (Unicode) When I had the problem I was making a project from a stereo recording of birds signing. I listened again and again many times, chose and cut out parts of the recording and joined the parts in a new track. Audacity hung / froze several times but I could not find any pattern. Today I have worked in the same fashion, but I can not make it freeze up. By the way my back trace was made by attaching to the frozen Audacity process with gdb. Bug Buddy did not appear.

Hi Benjamin, Funny thing I just went back to Audacity and opened Help -> Show Welcome Message and Audacity crashed. No stack trace available. Opening Audacity recovering the project, I could not reproduce the crash. On Sun, 2010-09-12 at 00:20 +0200, Arnfinn Ringvold wrote: > Hei Benjamin, > > Sorry this took some time.

We have > 1.3.12-3 now, so I don't see any use in even looking at this bug. The bugreport was filed against the version of the package in stable - which is supposed to be a supported version. The use of looking at this bug is that lenny is a supported release of Debian and should be taken serious by the package maintainers. > Though I'm not the maintainer and therefore cannot speak how the > "official" approach to your report will be, the best advice I could give > at the moment is to try a newer version, preferably the one from sid. The official approach to the report would be to try to reproduce the issue, ask for more information from the reporter and ask them to install the dbg packages. Written that, Arnfinn, can you give a bit more information what exactly you did to make it "hang suddenly", your information are pretty terse. Did you work on a specific file, can you possibly offer that, give a quick howto on how one can reproduce the issue?
