When using pd onsite without a network connection i cannot edit files with pd-extened RC5 on Ubuntu Gutsy. If a ethernet cable is connected i can edit files, but if i am not wired in i cannot make new connections or edit a file. Is there a way to workaround this?
Put the files on the same machine your keyboard is connected to?
I suggest that you disconnect your keyboard while you make suggestions like this one ;)
Just eliminating the obvious, like "My computer doesn't work" "Did you plug it in?" "Er, never mind" ;)
Seriously, isn't that a problem with the routing on network interface lo? I had problems like that because a certain version of a DHCP program would take the default as being "DHCP on all connections", but no-one runs a DHCP server on lo, and everybody has lo, so it would erase the lo settings every damn time, if you forget to specify a network interface as an argument.
I think pd wouldn't even start up if lo wasn't enabled (because there would be no route to the gui). Why would the presence of a connection to some other machine affect anything if no necessary resources are on that machine?
