Re: [Rosegarden-user] Crashes :(

I haven't tested the timing thing either.  My computer keeps freezing. 
When I reboot it, I'm stuck at 1024x768, and the only way I have managed 
to make progress on that issue is to reinstall Kubuntu.  I've been 
around that bush three times now, and I have grown tired of the 
aggravation.  This machine is rather old, and I suspect the hardware is 
just flaking out.  Either that, or Kubuntu 18.04 is less stable than its 
many predecessors, which I find difficult to imagine.  Still, the 
trouble started when I upgraded from 16.04, so that may be the culprit. 
So many things have changed it's more trouble than it's worth to me to 
try to keep track of any of it.


I had gotten in the habit of just buying a retail desktop PC off the 
shelf, but you can't buy those anymore.  Getting Linux onto a retail 
Windows PC is a huge pain in the ass anyway.  I guess I have to go 
figure out what components to buy and roll my own like it's 1995.  I am 
not looking forward to this at all.

Out of curiosity, what is the problem?

- Buy a computer
- Put in another hard drive, I bought a cheap SSD
- (Unplug the supplied Windows drive if you're not going to use it for now)
- Install Linux

I did find the new Linux installer (with Ubuntu Studio) a bit strange. It
seemed all logical with empty HDD, but when having another HDD in the
computer with Ubuntu Studio, the installer says there were no other OS
found and logical volume management options and all the talk of deletion
look strange or scary :D

I am using now a 2006 era dual core and everything looks ok. Maybe the
newest computers bring new problems?
