Yes....that's it. The patch loads fine now. I guess I should add the
"-font-face Monaco" flag to the startup settings.<br>
Can you explain why this makes it work?<br>
Thanks very much for your help.<br>

<div>If not, I'll write too. I'm sorry but I'm a bit clueless at

uninstalled compiz in synaptic but the crash is still

The only time I had a crash like this was when trying to
use Thomas Grills flext based external Xsample.<br>
Otherwise PD behaves in a very stable manner. <br>
The font issue may well be the cause, but that is just a
sort of hunch of mine.<br>
Many thanks for your interest and support in this problem<br>

<div>I run the software on Ubuntu

<div>Indeed, the log you posted
seems to be something X11 related,
even though at the moment we
cannot exclude it's CNTRL doing
something that your system does
not like.</div>

<div>Could you try to run CNTRL in

<div>Perhaps there are some

<pre>Hello Marco, congratulations on your interesting and beautifully
documented project Xth sense.
I'm interested in trying to get C:NTR:l running on my ubuntu 10.04
laptop system, but trying to start the patch crashes PD and causes it to
close immediately.
Do you know of anyone running it on a comparable system?
best regards, Nick Burge.
