Baudline hangs X11

[Gerr]

Hello,

since recently baudline shows strange bahaviour, making it defunct.

- I remove ~/.baudline to restore factory settings

- Starting baudline shows the spectrum window, properly recording
sound

- Click right mouse button on spectrum window to open popup menu
fails, no menu appears

- Mouse cursor changes from pointing top-left to pointing top-right,
and stays that way, even when releasing the mouse button or leaving
the window. It is no longer possible to focus other windows or to
control anything by either keyboard or mouse.

- Only way out is killing baudline from another text console or ssh
shell.

Hope there is a fix or workaround for this, I installed a second linux
OS now only to be able to run baudline!

System is debian testing, recently upgraded to Xorg 1.7.4

Hello Gerr,

I recently received a similar report from someone using Arch Linux
current and Debian testing and unstable. This problem of baudline's
popup menu stealing focus and locking up the desktop could be related
to the newest X.org 1.7.4 and it could be related to the window
manager. I suspect the X-Server. What I need is more information.

* What video card / driver are you using?
* What window manager are you using? (metacity, compiz, kwin, other)
* Was everything working fine with X.org 1.7.3?
* Does this happen if you start up baudline in the pause mode?
"baudline -pause"
* Does this happen when you popup the Histogram's menu? "baudline -histogram"
* Has anyone else noticed this popup menu hanging in a different Linux
distribution?

Ok, answers below. (sorry for the late reply)

> * What video card / driver are you using?

nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 140M

xmonad, also tried fvwm, same result

Yes, quite sure since I use baudline quite regulary

Yes, the same freezing occurs when clicking the right mouse button.

> * Does this happen when you popup the Histogram's menu? "baudline -histogram"

Yes, both when right-clicking on spectogram and right-clicking on
histogram

Not for me to answer :)

Thank you very much!

Thanks Gerr for your testing report. I am fairly certain that this is
a problem with the Xorg Server 1.7.4 and 1.7.5 versions. Popping up
baudline's main menu via the 3rd mouse button is fairly simple
involving calls to XmMenuPosition(), XtManageChild(), and some minor
glue. I don't think there is much I can do about this from the
baudline side. Let's hope the Xorg developers fix this for the 1.7.6
release.

Do you know of a Linux live-CD that has Xorg 1.7.4 or 1.7.5 so that I
can test a couple ideas?

Yes, it seems there are more applications with similar problems, for
example

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11301
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25400

both mention the same issue. Like you said it's most likely not a
baudline issue, so we'll just wait and hope for the best. Thanks for
the support though!

Debian unstable and testing have switched to the Xorg Server 1.7.6
version. I wonder if this version or the newer Xorg 1.8.0 fixes this
3rd mouse button popup menu problem?

Still no luck with 1.7.6, I have not tried 1.8.0 though.

[Sig Blip]

I just received a report from a baudline user that Xorg 1.8.0 fixes
this 3rd mouse button popup menu problem. The base test distro was
Ubuntu 10.04 but X11 had to be upgraded manually. This is wonderful
news and I hope it works for all distributions.

I'm experiencing the same issue on Ubuntu 10.04. Total newbie here but
how would I go about installing 1.8.0?

Three options for upgrading to Xorg 1.8.0:

* Build from the source and install X manually, not recommended for newbies
* Wait for Ubuntu to package it up, then installation will be just a
couple clicks
* Try Fedora 13 which was released yesterday, it uses xorg-server 1.8.0

Any other options or recommendations? If anyone tries Fedora 13 then
please let me know how it works.

Running 32bit debian unstable which is kept up to date every few days.
Baudline has begun working properly again, much to my delight. I can
post build versions if anyone wants them.

[Lem]

For Ubuntu users, there is the xorg-edgers PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa

This appears to have xorg 1.8.2 (?) at the moment.

xorg-server 2:1.8.2+git20100705+server-1.8-branch.
665aa7ce-0ubuntu0sarvatt2~lucid

(plus many more updated packages)

For the newbies, be aware that those packages are bleeding edge, not
guaranteed to be
stable. Make sure you read the lengthy note at the top of the page to
prevent problems
with packages on your system, especially during upgrades.

In theory, that should make Baudline work properly on Ubuntu 10.04
again.

Hi Sig Blip and friends,

First, many thanks to hagbard for his message where he said :

This information helps a lot for me. I went on Debian home page and
had a look on the SID packages.
This gave me a lot off usefull informations.

I finally found a way to have baudline working properly.
I rebuild newer versions of xorg-server, MesaLib and libdrm.
The magic triplet that works for me is :

libdrm >= 2.4.18
MesaLib-7.7.1
xorg-server-1.7.7

As i was saying previously, Xorg depends on foreign packages.
It was not sufficient to just upgrade the xorg-server.
MesaLib and libdrm have to be upgraded too.

Now right click works well for me and i don't need anymore to switch
to an older system to use baudline.

Best regards.

I created an FAQ entry for this Xorg 1.7 lock up problem here:

http://baudline.com/faq.html#Xorg_1.7

[Pascal]

Can you create a new shortcut to replace the third mouse button, to
fix this problem?

[Sig Blip]

Just added to the FAQ:

The Shift+F10 combination is an alternative for the "menu key."

[djibi2]

I just installed the beta release of Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and
this appears to be fixed. The Ubuntu version is based on Xorg 1.9.

[Sig Blip]

Thank you djibi2 for that testing confirmation report. Let's hope this
X11 lock up problem goes away for good when Ubuntu 10.10 is released
on October 10th 2010. I've marked my calendar for 10/10/10. Clever
date huh?

[Lem]

djibi2, how did you get Baudline working on Ubuntu 10.10? I'm running
the RC now, and there are no /dev/audio, /dev/mixer, /dev/dsp devices.
Baudline fails to detect any soundcards at all (including my on-board
Realtek, and my Audigy 2 ZS).

On the plus side, the right click menu bug is fixed in Ubuntu 10.10 :)

[djibi2]

I have to admit I didn't check things out fully, I was focused on the
X11 bug. I went back and tried "baudline" and had the same issues (no
audio devices). However when I started jack and ran "baudline_jack"
things seemed to work as expected. I was able to connect the output
to the system port and hear audio through the speakers. This was
still a quick test so I cannot claim that all operations work, but the
basics are working and the X11 bug was gone.

Have you tried running it with jack?

[Lem]

Baudline works with JACK on Ubuntu 10.10. All I had to do was:

apt-get install jack
jackd -d alsa
baudline_jack

Playback worked fine. I didn't test anything else since that's all I
use
Baudline for.

[Sig Blip]

Thanks for posting those JACK install and setup commands. Have you
tried using qjackctl to configure jackd and link channels. The
qjackctl program is really great.

It seems that Ubuntu removed ALSA OSS-emulation support from the
kernel. Have you tried the aoss wrapper? This works on Fedora:

aoss baudline

[Lem]

Small correction to the above, it's:

apt-get install jackd

"jack" is a CD ripper of some sort in Ubuntu 10.10, I haven't used it.

I tried baudline_jack again today, and found that I had to set Unlock
Memory in qjackctl's setup window before baudline would play. Strange
since it worked last time without this setting. Realtime priority also
would not work as the default user, as super user it did (when
starting jackd). Maybe Ubuntu-Studio is configured more correctly for
running JACK. Without enabling the Unlock Memory option, Baudline
would say in the terminal:

Cannot lock down memory area (Cannot allocate memory)

Then it would segfault.


Now, regarding ALSA OSS emulation and Baudline on Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64
Desktop:

apt-get install alsa-oss (to get the aoss command and libaoss.so)
aoss baudline test.flac produced this output:


Trying to run the i686 version of Baudline produced this (due to no
32bit libaoss being present):

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libaoss.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be
preloaded: ignored.


The AMD64 version of Baudline managed to open /dev/mixer, but when
trying to play, produced this message dialogue:

No such device or address SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS
