Hmmm, I've never had the problem you mention with RG 1.5.1, 1.6.something, or my current 1.7.0. > According to Konsole, the only KDE application I've got running, KDE is > at 3.5.9.

I'm using KDE 3.5.9, too. 32-bit version, though - IIRC, you said you're on a 64-bit system? >> There's also a Rosegarden email list with excellent support at >> rosegarden-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > I was looking through the information for either that or it may have > been the Rosegarden bug tracker yesterday and noted some comment that I > interpreted as "if you are using a package from a distro, don't come > complaining to us." FWIW, I seem to recall seeing that sort of thing on a number of Linux program's websites. I've even seen one or two that basically said, "Don't talk to us about anything except a version you compiled from our current CVS ... " > And that's why I asked here first, in case it was a familiar problem. I'd ask the RG list, anyway. I've never used any RG that *didn't* come with the Debian distro, and no one on the list has had any problems helping me. Or others who've had problems with RG, whether from a package or compiled from source. > As nobody has jumped up and said "ooh, yes, that's the so-and-so bug", I > think that my next step will be to build Rosegarden by hand, rather than > relying on the Gentoo ebuild - no idea what weird patches they may have > thrown into the mix.

Is Gentoo still the "tell us all about your system and how you want it configured, then wait a few days while your computer custom compiles everything in perfectly optimized form for itself"? If so, I wouldn't be surprised to find some Gentoo-generated compile time "optimization" at the root of things ... > If the problem persists once I've built everything by hand, I will > indeed bounce this off to rosegarden-user and will notify this list with > the outcome. I'm on both lists. There may well be others, too. -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
