mmh, I updated to maverick (2.6.25-24-generic) and it looks like it was a bad idea..
any gridflow patch just freezes my os now :/
Any, or just when you try to get a frame from [#camera] ?
any patch (just by opening them)
then I can't kill pd because my keyboard is also lost..
I do get a lot of freezes from [#camera], but that's because of the pwc.ko driver (for the Philips protocol). As far as I can tell, the Linux kernel has been shipping with a bad version of pwc for a while. But it doesn't freeze the OS, it just means I have to unload and reload the driver quite often, and kill Pd (Ctrl+c in the terminal works, but Ctrl+q in the pd-gui doesn't). I should reinstall a non-bundled version of pwc.ko like I used to have (I think I recall it made a difference).
What's your situation ? (camera driver, if that's an issue...)
sorry but how do I find out my camera driver ?
I use a Sony Eye usb cam (from ps3).
