Re: [linux-audio-user] ANN: bristol 0.9.5-60

The 'zombied' message from jack and the 'midi write error' from brighton
indicate that bristol, the engine, has ungracefully exit, most typically a
segfault. Depending on your shell and write permissions on the 'bin'
directory you may be able to do the following:

nowhiskey@email-addr-hidden:~/software/nove/bristol/bristol-0.9.5/bin$ limit
coredumpsize unlimited
nowhiskey@email-addr-hidden:~/software/nove/bristol/bristol-0.9.5/bin$ ./startBristol
-rhodes -jack

Now do whatever until the error occurs and if you now close the synth window
from the title bar you will get a core dump IF you have write permissions in
the current directory. If you do not want to have write permissions on the
bristol/bin directory then try the following:

nowhiskey@email-addr-hidden:~/software/nove/bristol/bristol-0.9.5/bin$ cd /tmp
nowhiskey@email-addr-hidden:/tmp$ ~/software/nove/bristol/bristol-0.9.5/startBristol
-rhodes -jack

The coredump as an enclosure, or the stack backtrace from GDB will help to
track down the cause of the problem.

Regards,

Nick.
