Hmmm, I've never had the problem you mention with RG 1.5.1,
1.6.something, or my current 1.7.0.

Thanks for your reply, David.
Same with both 1.5.1 and 1.7.2 (I updated to see if it would fix the
problem.) Quoth Norval Watson at 2008-09-24 09:12...
Rosegarden version? Version of KDE? Which kernel are you using Matt? I think I had
similar crashes with a 2.6.26.5-rt9 kernel.
Happens with both my RT kernel AND my
regular one:
RT: 2.6.24.7-rt17
Regular: 2.6.23-gentoo-r4 SMP PREEMPT According to Konsole, the only KDE application
I've got running, KDE is
at 3.5.9. I don't particularly want to update this unless I have to
because there tend to be a LOT of dependencies and an update of
something the size of KDE can take a LONG time.
I'm using KDE 3.5.9, too. 32-bit version, though - IIRC, you said you're
on a 64-bit system?
There's
also a Rosegarden email list with excellent support at
rosegarden-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net.
I was looking through the information for either that or it may have
been the Rosegarden bug tracker yesterday and noted some comment that I
interpreted as "if you are using a package from a distro, don't come
complaining to us." And that's why I asked here first, in case it was
a familiar problem.
I'd ask the RG list, anyway. I've never used any RG that *didn't* come
with the Debian distro, and no one on the list has had any problems
helping me. Or others who've had problems with RG, whether from a
package or compiled from source.
As nobody has jumped up and said "ooh, yes,
that's the so-and-so bug", I
think that my next step will be to build Rosegarden by hand, rather than
relying on the Gentoo ebuild - no idea what weird patches they may have
thrown into the mix. Waste of time putting it on the Gentoo Bugzilla as
I've had a bug open for Zynaddsubfx for something like a year now.
(That has been resolved through a patch which still hasn't got into the
Gentoo packaging system; looks like there's very little package
maintenance going on for things like this and I ain't doing it as I
can't get my head around the dev side of the Gentoo build system.)
Is Gentoo still the "tell us all about your system and how you want it
configured, then wait a few days while your computer custom compiles
everything in perfectly optimized form for itself"? If so, I wouldn't be
surprised to find some Gentoo-generated compile time "optimization" at
the root of things ...
If the problem persists once I've built everything
by hand, I will
indeed bounce this off to rosegarden-user and will notify this list with
the outcome.
I'm on both lists. There may well be others, too.
