Hi Nick,
good to know, but this is just a workaround.
That command line changes the font-face which Pd will use.
Looking for the xfont error log you have posted I found this
thread:
A similar error has been solved --dpkg purge(ing) and apt-get
install(ing) two font packages.
If I'm not wrong the Pd default font is ttf-bitstream-vera, I
guess there could be something wrong in your font configuration.
Although, I don't understand why it causes your Pd to crash
only with cntrl and flext.
Anyone?
Best,
Marco

Yes....that's it. The
patch loads fine now. I guess I should add the "-font-face
Monaco" flag to the startup settings.
Can you explain why this makes it work?
Thanks very much for your help.

Hi Nick,
I see. Thanks for the info.
Could you try to start Pd from the terminal
with:
pdextended -font-face Monaco
It seems hard to find the problem. I saw you
wrote on the list, did anybody replied?
If not, I'll write too. I'm sorry but I'm a bit
clueless at the moment, but I use to run the patch
on several Ubuntu machines and never encountered
this problem before.
Best,
Marco

Hi
Marco, I uninstalled compiz in synaptic but
the crash is still happening. Yes, I can
bang the other bangs and I see the help
patches no problem. The graphic card is G86
nvidia GEforce 8400m G
The only time I had a crash like this was
when trying to use Thomas Grills flext based
external Xsample.
Otherwise PD behaves in a very stable
manner.
The font issue may well be the cause, but
that is just a sort of hunch of mine.
Many thanks for your interest and support in
this problem

Ok, if you have
Compiz enabled, could you try to
disable it and run again CNTRL from
the terminal?
Are you able to bang the other
[bangs] in the splash screen and see
the related popup subpatches?
Which graphic card do you have?
It seems something related to
the font Pd look for, but can't
find useful info about it. I'll
keep on looking.
Can you normally use Pd with no
problem?
Thanks,
Best,
Marco

Hi
Marco....I tried the
-noloadbang flag, but the
crash actually occurs when I
click the big bang button on
the splash screen to open
the main C[]NTR[]L patch.
Any ideas much appreciated.

Hi
Nick,
thanks for your
feedback, much
appreciated.
I run the
software on Ubuntu
Lucid Lynx with no
problem.
Indeed, the log
you posted seems to
be something X11
related, even though
at the moment we
cannot exclude it's
CNTRL doing
something that your
system does not
like.
Could you try to
run CNTRL in the
terminal with the
flag -noloadbang?
Perhaps there are
some initialization
parameters which
conflict with some
settings of your
system.
Thanks,
Best wishes,
Marco

Hello Marco, congratulations on your interesting and beautifully
documented project Xth sense.
I'm interested in trying to get C:NTR:l running on my ubuntu 10.04
laptop system, but trying to start the patch crashes PD and causes it to
close immediately.
Do you know of anyone running it on a comparable system?
best regards, Nick Burge.
