This bug has been fixed in git some time ago, attaching the patch that should fix this problem.

The Traverso git version is coming along nicely, perhaps better to package the next release of Traverso which won't take too long hopefully and push that to backports?

i have the same problem
what do i do with this patch?

[remon (remonsijrier)]

apply it to the 0.49.1 source code, compile and be happy ;-)

In the ideal world this would have been fixed long time ago, but it appears that maintenance of the Traverso package in Debian and derived distributions is basically non-existent.

 hi remon
sorry i am a newbie (admittedly of 7 years of linux) but how do i apply this code (all of it?) to what? compile??
do i open a file - sudo gedit
i paste this code in - at the bottom?
compile? i dare say i can find out what that means.
ok looked up compile - that looks hard.
which is a shame as i have been using traverso for a year now
do you think it will be fixed soon?

I can't get the patch to apply here is the error.
"patching file ViewItem.h
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
Hunk #1 FAILED at 62.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file ViewItem.h.rej"

Hi,

Yes, should have checked the patch first :)

Uploaded one that fixes the 'freeze' when Traverso starts.

The easiest way to get Traverso working again for you is to kindly ask the maintainer of Traverso to apply the patch to the debian package, and push it to the bugfixes thingie so you can download the fixed version of Traverso.

The current development version of Traverso is still not release ready, but depending on the kind of work it's stable enough to work with.
The user manual describes in detail how to compile Traverso from source, and a user posted a HOWTO in the Traverso forum: http://traverso-daw.org/forum/ explaining in detail how to compile Traverso from source on Ubuntu.

Users are encouraged to try out the development version (from git repository) instead of a release candidate version of traverso 0.49.0!

Hi Remon,

Still not the right patch... You just sent the REVERSED patch.

[remon (remonsijrier)]

Hah, getting up at 5:45 am doesn't help it seems to create patches :D

The new new one is done correctly now (me crosses fingers)

[Paul Thomas (pw1517)]

Thanks. And I can confirm it solves the issue on Lucid.

[tomwgf (tom-wellmadewebsite)]

Is this getting fixed for Ubuntu?
I will give compiling a go but i am a not sure i will manage it
thanks tom

Hi, tom
The post Remon mentioned is here:
http://traverso-daw.org/forum/index.php/topic,212.0.html
It's for karmic, but things shouldn't have changed very much. From the tips there, and browsing packages in synaptic, you may reasonably guess the new name of a package if any has been renamed in lucid (didn't test myself so far).

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
