Hi List,

i am having this problem too, with pd and also with xmms. When i run both pd and xmms via jack, and quit either one, jackd crashes. This is on debian testing.

I suppose this is more a jackd problem, though i haven't had the time yet to investigate on the lad-list or others.

regards,

Peter

I've been having this problem for quite a while... whenever I quit PD, jackd crashes after a few seconds. Looking in the Connections window in qjackctl, I can see that PD's ports remain after quitting until the crash. If I run jackd in the terminal with the same command as qjackctl runs (jackd -R -P89 -t10000 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p128 -n2 -P -S) , its last words are:

jackd watchdog: timeout - killing jackd

I'm running Debian testing, jackd 0.101.1-1, Pd-0.39.2-extended-test4, but this has been happening for several PD versions (not sure when it started). Is anyone else seeing this? One other jack app I know of, jack-rack, actually has the same problem.

Just tried to reproduce, but Pd quits cleanly on my system (Debian unstable, jackd 0.101.1, puredata 0.39.2-1)

Is this happing all the time or just when loading a specific patch ?

I also just tested with puredata 0.39.2-1 from Debian, and I get the crash. I move ~/.pdrc and ~/.pdsettings out of the way, run /usr/bin/pd, click Media->jack, OK, then quit Pd and jackd crashes.

However, if I disable realtime operation in jack, the crash doesn't happen. Sometimes, there is a long delay after quitting before the ports disappear. If I set it to realtime but with a lower priority, it crashes sometimes, but not always.
