Re: [LAU] Strange problems with Audacity

Hello Lee, thanks for your advise. Oops. Well, kill -9 doesn't work either. If I use dmesg I get the following output.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000080 printing eip: f97cf077 *pde = 00000000 stopped custom tracer.

Are there some information about a possible reason to find in this output? I would assume that the answer is in the first line: a null pointer dereference in the kernel. Well, seems like i have to ask the JAD guys, right? Best regards, Sebastian. web: http://linuxaudioblog.sternenhejim.de
