Pd is still completely freezing my ubuntu Dapper machine. I have tried
recompiling with Pd 0.40.2 and still absolute and instant freeze. So I
tried the suggestion below. The debugger reports:
Starting program /usr/local/bin/pd
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread -1211066688 (LWP 6400)]
Then the machine is completely frozen again, so I have to pull the plug.
I also tried editing /etc/hosts as was suggested here:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-07/029853.html
and that didn't help either...
I have used this on many ubuntu Dapper machines so I don't know what's
so special about this one. Could it be the 2 dual-core Pentium Xeons?
Could it be the M-audio Delta 1010LT card?
When I run
$ pd -verbose
I get no response at all. Just the instantly frozen machine.
And I have tried the various flags (-nrt -nomidi -nosound) and others...
