Hello all,
I've recently switched my debian system over to SUSE 8. I've noticed quite a strange thing with running PD. On debian I had both test4 and test23 working fine. Now in SUSE I can't get 23 or 26 to work, but test4 still works fine. I'm using the exact same OSS/Commercial driver on the same hardware. PD compiles fine.
When I load test23 or 26 (after running soundon) I get no output to the console. The gui comes up but it seems only the GUI works, no backend. I can click on buttons which react but I can't load a patch, "exit" does not do anything either. This happens both as root and as a normal user.
If I run soundoff then test23 and 26 do report not being able to open audio. When PD test 23 & 26 freeze like this they do hold onto the audio device (another process can't open the audio device):
couldn't open MIDI input device 1 couldn't open MIDI output device 1 opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). /dev/dsp (writeonly): No such device error: OSS: SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS failed /dev/dsp
test4 works fine, as it always did, compiled the same way. Let me know if I can offer any more specific information about my configuration to help resolve this.
Thanks Ben
