video and gem
by unknown＠example.com 07 Apr '00

07 Apr '00

hi mark ! currently I'm going quite mad trying to do my video-patch feat. gem everything does quite well (although my sb-pci64 seems to have mixed up my video-adapter (as you might remember : hercules 3dprophetddr-dvi) and texturing a video on both a cylinder and a rectangle works fine (at least it uses only 20%-30% of my cpu load), but but BUT:: after (let`s say) 3 hours or so the video-in stucks and there appears a great execption-error that pd somehow hurt the kernel32.dll @ 0137:bff9a3c0; this looks to me like a memory leak or something ? the very interesting thing is (which confuses me most) that pd and gem both still run (my counters count and my geos move) and i can still interact with them, although this f**d error message is hidden somewhere behind my gem-window. This of course makes it hard to detect when exactly the problems start. since i have the very cheapest video-capture card that i could get (hauppauge winTV primio; about 100$) this might be my problem; on the other hand : has anyone done a long time installation with gem and video before ? (long time meaning more than 3 hours; i would need it to run about 6 months (although myabe i could reboot every night, but that still would need to run for about 24hours); any hints how i could solve my problem ? mfg.ras.r hannes

Re: Pd on W98 -- beware

Hi! W98: When I start it, the window always shows Resynching audio Resyching audio.... I am not sure if I already tried the mentionned flag. I'll tell you if that works. But I also have linux on my pc and wanted to download the pd-for-linux-files. i tried some times a few months ago and just now, and it always fails. (on this page: http://www-crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html ) Can someone set up a link that works? (well, maybe the error is on my system, but we could try) Please do NOT mail me the files as I have nearly no space left on my account. thank you.

Pd on W98 -- beware
by Miller Puckette 05 Apr '00

hi all, I got 2 reports today that Pd doesn't work in W98. One alert reader (Russel Pinkston) figured out that he could get Pd to run by giving it the "-noresync" flag. Russell also notes that this flag isn't mentioned in the documentation! time for a vacation or something... cheers Miller

confused about compiling
by D. Marcus Johnson 05 Apr '00

05 Apr '00

Hi, I am not really clear on how one is supposed to compile pd. There are instructions for downloading and unpacking it, and for testing but I am unclear on how to compile pd. I would appreciate if someone could direct me to the proper information. In /home/schwaahd/pd-0.27/src I did a : make -f makefile.linux SOUNDDRIVER=ALSA This made a : pd and pd-gui show up in ~/pd-0.27/bin I can get pd to sort of turn but it can't seem to find the pd-gui. I feel like I am missing some thing basic but fundamental. I am new to Linux and PD so sorry if this is a really dumb question. Thank You -Darwin Redhat 6.1 ALSA .0.5.6 Ensoniq AudioPCI/1371 K6-2 475Mhz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

pd externals, floats and bangs in the same inlet
by Joseph A. Sarlo 03 Apr '00

I've been working on writing externals in C and am wondering if anyone knows a way to get floats and bangs in the same inlet other than the left inlet. _______________________ Joseph A. Sarlo jsarlo(a)peabody.jhu.edu _______________________

Paf 0.6
by Miller Puckette 01 Apr '00

01 Apr '00

Hi all, By request, I've gone and put "paf 0.6" in http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Software/ for those of you who don't want to wait around for the next Pd release. And now I've discovered that the "data structures" examples in 0.30 are all broken. Ouch... Miller

Pd crashes
by F.Ernst 01 Apr '00

01 Apr '00

Hello, It seems that PD crashes if there are too long overruns (not enough CPU power) on linux i386. Just few minutes ago I was patching PD 0.30 with the CPU at 90% then some glitches produced by the movement on the mouse ( when you move some selected items in edit mode ) have crashed PD. I get with "ps" command : 15688 p0 R 81:47 ./pd -frags 4 -audiobuf 1024 -lib ggext 15689 p0 Z 0:26 (pd-gui <zombie>) "kill -9" is useless do you know how to remove them without rebooting ? Similary I had problems with the deamon "crond" because it executes various commands which can take a lot of CPU power and make PD crash. Since I am reporting some problems, there is another thing that can crash PD... I have 2 PC each running PD and linked together with "netsend" and "netreceive". The problem is if I instantiate, on the machine which receives datas, a patch saved on disk inside the patch i am editing, it crashes PD. Francois Ernst
