Csound/Csoundqt segmentation faults

Subject | Csound/Csoundqt segmentation faults |
Hi, I've been getting lot of segmentation faults using Csoundqt. Is it my hardware? are you getting segmentation faults? When I say a lot I mean trying examples and having the whole program crash on me. (I remember the stria synth doing that), but recently just experimenting with scanned synthesis, if I did something a bit wild, it could crash sometimes. |

I already built it (Csoundqt 0.9.2) ... I only need to remember to use it, that's what I get for not installing it I guess. 2016-04-11 22:49 GMT+02:00 Gerard Rodríguez <binbiniqegabenik@gmail.com>:

You need a newer Csound too. Can you build from git develop? I’m afraid if you find bugs with 6.05 we won’t be able to help. But with 6.07 we will. ======================== Dr Victor Lazzarini Dean of Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy, Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland Tel: 00 353 7086936 Fax: 00 353 1 7086952 > On 11 Apr 2016, at 21:58, Gerard Rodríguez |

Done, I had to add /usr/local/lib to the library path, sudo ldconfig didn't do it. 2016-04-11 23:05 GMT+02:00 Victor Lazzarini <Victor.Lazzarini@nuim.ie>: You need a newer Csound too. Can you build from git develop? I’m afraid if you find bugs with 6.05 we won’t |

Try to reproduce it running Csound in the terminal, if that us the case, file an issue with Csound. Otherwise, file an issue with CsoundQT. Victor Lazzarini Dean of Arts, Celtic Studies, and Philosophy Maynooth University Ireland

Gotcha, I'll do that. I don't want to complain much about an open source software (specially one as complete and with an awesome community like that) without contributing to it, but I have to say that gave me a negative impression about Csound (In fact I dropped it for a while for supercollider, because I thought it was immature because of the segfaults). I hope it improves with the latest versions and if I encounter any problems I'll try to help as much as I can. Thanks. 2016-04-12 7:41 GMT+02:00 Victor Lazzarini <Victor.Lazzarini@nuim.ie>:

Hi, There are many reasons that may cause segfaults, like conflicts between components in your system, incomplete install, audio drivers etc. And Csound of course, too. Still, I have used Csound for quite some years, found it in fact very stable, it has never failed me on stage on live situations (well, once, a major rezzy explosion :) ). But sure, it can take time to get through possible problems. We are here to help you and thank you for your input!

I know it's not immature, quite the contrary!, but that's because I gave it a second chance. Initially if I'm researching a few software solutions and one of them crashes, I might move on without trying to figure out the crash cause (and if other programs don't give me any problems I might not even consider hardware problems etc). Please don't take this too negatively, I like Csound, I think it's awesome and it has a great community. I think it would be a pity if someone were to drop it like I almost did because of a few crashes, that's why I'm willing to help in any way I can to fix these. 2016-04-12 12:49 GMT+02:00 Tarmo Johannes <tarmo.johannes@otsakool.edu.ee>:

We rely on users to tell us what the issues are. Although we have test suites etc, there is nothing better than an active user community to help us. Note also that we’re always looking for ways to improve the software, and that can have the unintended side-effect of introducing faults. Most of these are caught in development, but a small number might escape. ======================== Dr Victor Lazzarini Dean of Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy, Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland Tel: 00 353 7086936 Fax: 00 353 1 7086952 > On 12 Apr 2016, at 12:27, Gerard Rodríguez |
