When you're running an unstable distro with extra repositories and 
getting a bunch of .so errors, it's probably just a matter of broken 
runtime dependencies due to incompatible packages.  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.


Haven't compiled Rosegarden from source. Worth trying. Link for 
instructions?

[Rosegarden-user] Tried to start RG 17.04 on my desktop, crash!

2017-10-17 Thread david

Good evening!

I went to use RG 17.04 on my desktop PC system running Debian Testing 
with added KXStudio Repositories. I wanted to make a slight change (add 
a subtitle) to a score I did in 2016, and remake the PDF.


Double clicking the RG file gave me an RG splash screen, then that 
vanished away. Trying to open RG without any file gave same results. 
Starting it from a terminal filled the screen with multiple errors and 
lists of .so files etc, etc.


Is there a log somewhere I could find and send to someone?
