Seq24 crashes when right clicking edit or new (cell)

[Aurélien Leblond]

Binary package hint: seq24

Description of problem:
Since Ubuntu Jaunty, Seq24 (0.8.7-2ubuntu1) will boot normally, however when you go to edit a "cell" by right-clicking the "cell' and choosing either Edit or New, Seq 24 Seg-faults. The same bug was described and fixed in Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444845

Output from terminal:
blablack@igorito:~$ seq24

[Thomas E Jenkins (thomas-jenkins)]

I can confirm this. I believe it has been broken for most of Jaunty. I can also confirm building the latest release 0.9.0 from https://launchpad.net/seq24 fixes it.

[Aurélien Leblond (blablack)]

Yes, I can confirm that building the latest release 0.9.0 of Seq24 fixes the problem.

Can Jaunty be updated to the latest version?

[curran_kelleher (curran-kelleher)]

I can confirm this bug, crash on clicking "New" in the right-click menu.

What is the process for updating the package in the repositories? How can I help move this along? This bug is embarrassing for the Ubuntu community, especially Ubuntu Studio.

[Blaise Alleyne (balleyne)]

Same problem here. Any progress?

This sort of thing has me questioning whether Ubuntu Studio is at all usable in even a home studio production environment...

[Thomas E Jenkins (thomas-jenkins)]

The upload of 0.9.0 to karmic is free of this bug.

[Pedro Ângelo (pangelo)]

Which is all fine and dandy *except* for the fact that Karmic hasn't been released yet.

Please don't mark this bug as "Fix Released" just to lower the launchpad bug count and somehow up your karma. This bug was filed against Jaunty, a two months old release, and right now I still can't use seq24.

Unless there's an update released for Jaunty or a backport available for Jaunty I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be marked as such.

[Michael Pacey (michael-wd21)]

I agree completely with Pedro, how about an update for Jaunty?

There are a couple of additions to the seq24 repository. I've been
building it without issues.

I don't know if it is easy to update the jaunty package to the
repository version, but it would be nice to.

The shortcuts are configurable, it has queue support (can't remember if
0.8 has that), mute groups, fruity loops style piano roll editing, and
some more fixes and stuff.

$ bzr branch lp:seq24 seq24-0.9+bzr
$ sudo apt-get build-dep seq24
$ cd seq24-0.9+bzr
$ autoreconf
$ sudo aptitude install dh-make dpkg-dev
$ dh_make -r
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -tc
$ sudo dpkg -i ../seq24_0.9+bzr-1_i386.deb (or amd64)

But this is a lot of work of course. Later you can just do a 'bzr pull'
and repeat the last 2 steps though.

[Thomas E Jenkins (thomas-jenkins)]

@Pedro Ângelo

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status

"If a bug is fixed in the current development release, it is Fix Released. If the bug also needs to be fixed in a stable release, use the "Target to release" link to nominate it for that release."

I agree this is an ugly bug that should be fixed in stable as well and there is a procedure for that. However, disparaging someone's motive for triaging is insulting and counter-productive. A more useful approach would be to read and use this:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

Sheesh

[Michael Pacey (michael-wd21)]

Yes that was a bit harsh.

Can a fix only be nominated for release once? I mean, it looks like Dennis Prochko's done it, but I wondered if more names means more (gentle) pressure ;o) I don't get the option to choose Jaunty when I click Nominate for Release.

[Pedro Ângelo (pangelo)]

@Thomas

Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Blame it on lack of coffee or somesuch. I had just wasted a week around a race bug in kernel-rt that locks the machine regularly and makes it ununsable for any sort of serious work. I misread the bug status as "we don't care, wait for next release".

@Bruno Santos
Like you, I also went upstream and compiled a working seq24 to solve my problem. My point was that Ubuntu users shouldn't have to do that to have these sort of glaring app-just-doesn't-work fixes.

@admin
I missed the checkbox and wrongfully nominated this release for Intrepid, please delete that.

So, how can anyone help, in a constructive way, to this fix backported to Jaunty and into an official repo? Build a backport package and post it on a PPA? post it on REVU?

[Thomas E Jenkins (thomas-jenkins)]

@Pedro Ângelo

No worries.

@all

The method with probably the best chance of making it into Jaunty is to patch the existing Jaunty release with the sprintf fix found in the RH bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444845

Then produce a debdiff or upload the new package to a PPA and attach or announce here. Finally subscribe motu-sru to this bug. https://launchpad.net/~motu-sru

I would think this bug counts as a regression so if no movement is made after all that I'd send a mail to <email address hidden> or ask on #ubuntu-motu.

[nickleus (nick-humphrey)]

wow, still not fixed in jaunty 4 months later!
