Risks of cutting edge software
by Martin Tarenskeen 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Yesterday I had to finish some audio and midi tracks before a closing deadline. I was using Audacity and Rosegarden. Both were suddenly broken ... help! I managed to fix both before the end of the day with help from the Open Source community. Rosegarden started working again after updating ladspa-swh-plugins from fedora-testing. Audacity started working again after downgrading soundtouch-1.9.2-3 back to soundtouch-1.4.0-13 (using "dnf downgrade soundtouch") Working with cutting edge Open Source software can be fun, and the community is really helpful. But situations like this are not good for my health :-) Other people having problem recently with Rosegarden or Audacity might want to try these workarounds. -- MT

ladspa-swh-plugins and Rosegarden segfault
by Martin Tarenskeen 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Hi, I recently tried to start up Rosegarden again, haven't used it for some time, but it crashed with a segfault right after the opening picture. I watched the messages in my terminal trying to figure out what went wrong. I then decided to uninstall ladspa-swh-plugins using Fedora's package manager. After that Rosegarden started working again. I first removed whysynth-dssi which also didn't work anymore, and also produced some warning message in Rosegardens startup messages, but that seems to be an unrelated problem. After re-installing the (still not working) whysynth-dssi, Rosegarden was still functioning normally. Now I am trying to find out: is something wrong with rosegarden and/or is ladspa-swh-plugins broken on my Linux Fedora 23 system? If ladspa-swh-plugins is broken, then shouldn't Rosegarden notice this without crashing with a segfault? -- MT
