Hans, list,
I was thrilled to hear that delay objects and sqrt~ objects were fixed for rc3. While it seems the delay objects are fine, when I am doing my spectral/vocoding work, pd will freeze and lock up my whole machine
responding entirely. My only choice is to restart. I am using the rc3 for Ubuntu Edgy, I think, on Ubuntu Studio Feisty 7.04
I am having a hard time narrowing it down to a specific object/issue. I have attached my specgate~ gop which causes the crash every time within about 10 seconds. Could other linux or pd-ext users please test this? I can't get any crash logs it seems because the whole computer locks up and becomes unresponsive - a rather nasty bug. I don't see anything in the terminal even with -verbose.
It shouldn't be with the gui objects because i have many others that work totally fine. My vocoding abstraction produces the same lock-up, but not as quickly it seems. So I suspect it is either with vectral~ (from cyclone) or the q8_sqrt~ object. I cannot be sure though because most of the time it crashes before I can change anything. I am not so proficient at text editing pd patches :)
I am still relatively new to linux so if anyone knows a way to reclaim the machine when X stops responding and won't let you switch to other terminals or ctrl-alt-backspace, let me know. Maybe I could get some better info then and save myself a couple minutes from having to restart.
