Hi list,
For quite some time, I have noticed that pd occasionally interferes with the GNOME panel, in that the panel freezes and uses >90% CPU when pd is launched. The only solution is then to kill the panel. As this is sort of annoying, I just wanted to know whether anyone has experienced the same type of problems and/or has suggestions to solve this.
This is on Debian Sarge (with its standard components including pd-0.38-4).
Any help appreciated, Matthias
I'm running debian sarge with the 0.38-4 package and gnome and I have not had your issue.
More specifically when does it happen? What version of PD are you using? (from where?) Could it be an external running? What is running in the panel? (My panels are simple with icons, stickies and cpu monitor.
I'm on an AMD 64 3200+ w/ 2.6.8 kernel.

More specifically when does it happen?
as I said, occasionally, but always when I start pd.
What version of PD are you using? from the deb package that comes with sarge
Could it be an external running?
as it occurs when I start pd, there is just the pd console, nothing else
What is running in the panel? (My panels are simple with icons, stickies and cpu monitor.
just drawers, a clock, the desktop switcher

When you start PD you only get the conole and no PD window?
what does gdb pd in terminal do? Same thing?
If you get a crash you'll see (gdb) in the terminal. type "where" to see where it was when it crashed.
I've had no experience that resembles this in my sarge machine..
Did you try compiling Miller's PD from source? Does it act any differently?

well, the console is in the pd window

ok, will try that

thanks anyway, Matthias

i do not experience this particular problem, but please note that the current gnome on debian sarge is slightly broken, because it uses a mix of 2.8 and 2.10 packages. i've had manby problems with the panel as a result of that, so it's quite likely that this is a gnome-panel problem rather than pd.
if you can't wait for sarge to deliver a more stable 2.10 gnome, maybe you should downgrade all gnome packages for 2.8 in the meanwhile (it did solve most of my problems).
