Remains a mystery for the time being....I installed the
ttf-bitstream-vera font via synaptic which was not actually
installed before, but without the -font-face Monaco flag it still
crashed...<br>
Meanwhile your patch/program is really great. Fantastic realtime
audio processes, but problematical when using video ... as soon as I
open a gem window audio starts to break up. To stop audio from
breaking up on my laptop I've had to hack the C[]NTR[]L patch into
seperate audio and video patches, and running 2 simultaneous
instances of pd one for audio and one for video, sending the note
bangs via OSC/udp from one instance to the other. Not sure why one
should have to do this, but it works perfectly like that. Maybe you
know an easier way??<br>
Thank you for your help and sharing this with the pd community.<br>

<div>A similar error has been solved --dpkg purge(ing) and apt-get

<div>If I'm not wrong the Pd default font is ttf-bitstream-vera, I
guess there could be something wrong in your font configuration.</div>

<div>Although, I don't understand why it causes your Pd to crash

Marco, I uninstalled compiz in synaptic but
the crash is still happening. Yes, I can
bang the other bangs and I see the help
patches no problem. The graphic card is G86
nvidia GEforce 8400m G<br>
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>

<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.
