Hallo,

  i am running pd 0.37.0 as root with the latest kernel
from
 planetccrma with -jack using Qjackctl as user - i am using alsa
 1.0.1 with a hdsp card on RH.9  P4 2.6 with 2gigs of dual channel
 ram

 jackstart -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 44100 -p 1024 & (or somthing like that) 
If you run as root (generally *not* a good idea) then you don't need
to use jackstart!

...
  pd -rt -jack

 whenever i use the plugin~ 0.2 (LADSPA) external, the smallest thing
 (select all- drag)  
This is not that small a thing to do for Pd. 

...
  causes pd to crash and the only way it will
 restart is by doing a reboot.

 i just tried without plugin~ and get the same thing though plugin~
 does seem to like to crash my system quite easily..

 here is the last jack error: 

 subgraph starting at pure_data_0 timed out (subgraph_wait_fd=24, status = 0, state =
Running)
 client pure_data_0 error: awake_at = 663526372 state = 2 timed_out = 2
 **** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 11.868 msecs
 13:32:56.712 Audio connection graph change.
 13:32:56.712 XRUN callback. (4)
 13:32:56.837 Audio active patchbay scan...

 i can't restart pd with either -jack (with the jack server running)
 or -alsa (with the jack server off) unless i reboot 
Is there still a pd running somewhere? Check with "ps aux". 

...
  sometimes i get the audio in/out stuck - closing error
sometimes but
 mostly the watchdog: signaling pd error just keeps appearing 
Do you run the latest test version from Miller's site? I would
recommend doing this. Also in s_inter.c try to change this line in
sys_set_priority: 

	p3 = (higher ? p2 - 1 : p2 - 3);

to be that: 

    // p3 = (higher ? p2 - 1 : p2 - 3);
	p3 = (higher ? p1 + 3 : p1 + 1);

instead, and in s_audio_jack.c find (around line 60) this: 

	} else { /* PD could not keep up ! */
		 if (jack_started) sys_log_error(ERR_RESYNC);

and throw out the sys_log_error like: 

	} else { /* PD could not keep up ! */
	     // don't call log_error in jack process:
		 // if (jack_started) sys_log_error(ERR_RESYNC);

then recompile. This once did wonders here for letting Pd
coexist with Jack. 

ciao
