Title: Responsiveness problem
Post by: kontaktproblem on November 01, 2011, 12:55:53
Hello,

I have a problem where, when I load a certain module, the interface becomes completely unresponsive to both mouse and keyboard input.

The interface is not freezing though, the module plays fine and I can see the playback patterns and meters being updated as normal. It's very weird. The only way to stop the program is to send a SIGTERM with kill(1).

The module that causes the problem can be downloaded here (http://orgasmod.com/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=159613) on Orgasmod. For the record, I use ArchLinux on x86_64, I use the ALSA sound interface (although the problem happens with SDLaudio as well) with a period of 1024 samples. I also use xmonad and the MT window is set to my resolution (but not in fullscreen mode, although fullscreen mode doesn't solve the problem either). Also, sometimes, but not always, I see lots of "ALSA: Invalid buffer size: 0 (should be 1024), skipping.." printed on my terminal.

Thanks for your help!

Just tested this module on the Windows port of 0.90.85, no indications of any problems.

Here on the current Ubuntu with the current MilkyTracker from the Repositories, it just work's fine. Well, i'm using IceWM and not the ****** Unity Desktop of Ubuntu.

Maybe it's a Window-Manager-related Problem? (Sometimes i had Problems with an other MusicTool (LMMS) on IceWM in the Past, but on Gnome it worked just fine) Or it has to do with compiling it for Arch Linux? Sorry, i'm not a big Help here  :-\ .

Greetings,
Ingo

I'm experiencing this problem when using the SDL version on OSX Mavericks (there were no issues with Snow Leopard).  Weird.

There's an SDL2 port in the works, hopefully that will solve this.
