You also lose the entire recording even if autosave was on.
It just eats everything.

Is this a known bug with 17.12 ?


  There is no known bug with that description.  You can search the bug 
reports here:


https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/bugs/

  In general, I try to address crashes within a day or two.  The only 
current outstanding crash involves opening a file of one type as another 
(#1579).


I cannot upgrade to the most recent rosegarden as there is seemingly a 
bug in the cmake instructions.


  The square brackets, "[]", in the instructions mean that the value or 
option are *optional*.  Do not type in the square brackets.  This is a 
common convention when describing commands.  You'll see it in man pages. 
 As an example, if I look at the man page for the "ls" command:


$ man ls

...I see this:

SYNOPSIS
   ls [OPTION]... [FILE]...

  The [OPTION] means that options are optional.  It does not mean to 
type this:


$ ls [OPTION]

  It means I can run ls with or without an option.  Like this:

$ ls
$ ls -l

  I also noticed that you are running a shell as root.  That is 
universally considered dangerous as it allows you to make whatever 
modifications you want to the system.  Including ones that could damage 
your system and cause Rosegarden to crash.  I would recommend running as 
a limited user instead.


  Anyway, let us know if you need any more help.  We should be able to 
get you through the build and run process.  And we always need more 
people doing testing.


Ted.

2020-04-27 Thread Yves Guillemot
I have no idea about a bug in 17.12 which is now an old version.
Here is how to compile/install the last version:

If you want to install in the default destination /usr/local
you only have to type:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make 
sudo make install

If you want to install in a non standard place, use:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/somewhere/in/the/system

Only if you want to debug, you have to add the option:
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
without the brackets.

BTW you don't need to be root when compiling RG.
You have to be root only when installing
with "sudo make install"
or with "su" then "make install"

Hope it helps
Yves
