Hi people!
Just tried mixxx-1.5.0-beta1 and unfortunately i have to count it to
my list of "box killers". This list currently contains
* rosegarden
* chionic
* mixxx
Interestingly those are all QT apps. But QT works fine here, for
example MusE just works like a charm.
And now im interested in finding out what causes those three apps to
completely hardlock my system. And they _really_ HARDlock it, in a way
that the kernel doesn't even react on a sysrq+s/u/b call anymore. no
keyboard, no mouse, nothing in any logs.. just dead.
Crappy hardware also is not the cause i guess, as card 1 is a M-Audio
Audiophile 2496, and card 2 is a ESI Juli@ - and as said apps like
MusE, LMMS and a big number of other apps work just fine.
I tested it on both cards, in case of rosegarden with both, direct
ALSA and jack output, and it hardlocks the system shortly after the
splash is displayed. I have no idea what could be the cause because i
can't get a trace or anything and have to hard-reset the box.
I would be very pleased if anyone has an idea where to start with
debugging that.
Thanks in advance
Tom
Ok.. 5 mins after wrinting the mail another guy with the same problem
told me that it is not the kernel that hardlocks, but it's X that
completely freezes. He was able to remotely login, kill & restart X and
all was fine again.
I tried that too from flatmates notebook and indeed it is X that dies...
..one step closer.. but still: searching for the reason why.
