Risks of cutting edge software
by Martin Tarenskeen
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.

ladspa-swh-plugins and Rosegarden segfault
by Martin Tarenskeen
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?
