Strangely, killall is ineffective in killing pd:<br><br>david@ubuntu:~$ killall -v -9 pd<br>Killed pd(7612) with signal 9<br><br>david@ubuntu:~$ ps -e | grep pd<br> 132 ? 00:00:00 pdflush<br> 133 ? 00:00:00 pdflush
<br>...<br> 7612 pts/0 00:00:00 pd <defunct><br> 7613 pts/0 00:00:00 pd-gui <defunct><br><br>And pd still won't start properly.<br><br>So... I've found a (sort of) workaround: unplug my usb-midi device. Then pd will again start normally. (Although that last command still results in the same output.) However this isn't a good long-term solution: now I can't use my midi device. At all. "amidi -l" doesn't list it any more.
<br><br>Could it be a conflict between pd and hotplug, perhaps? In any case, it would be nice to get to the bottom of this....<br><br>Thanks again,<br><br>David<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/11/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

Hallo,<br>david golightly hat gesagt: // david golightly wrote:<br><br>> and the Pd window will open, but the Windows and Media menus are not<br>> populated, & I can't open any files. pstree reveals 2 running pd & pd-gui

<br><br>Hard to say what's wrong here, but instead of rebooting, did you try<br>the bloodier way of murdering poor Pd with: "killall -9 pd"?<br><br>Ciao<br>--<br> Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
