Audacious OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer
Trying to run the OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer under Audacious, and it just crashes:
Code:

Do other glx apps work e.g. glxgears?
I've found there can be problems if the mesa package is updated/reinstalled over an earlier nvidia blob installation. Reinstalling the nvidia blob has always fixed that problem for me. chris |
They work:
Code:
slackuser@slackmachine:~$ glxgears |
I just tried and found the same problem and its definitely not due to the similar mesa/nvidia thing I've seen previously. I also just tried 32bit & 64bit VM's (no nvidia blobs) and it works fine there.

So per your post, it just does not like NVIDIA.
I don't particularly want to switch to the Nouveau driver - I rather like the NVIDIA utilities provided with the blob, and everything works the way I like it - plus I don't know how it will affect my double monitor(reflected) setup that I have. |
I downloaded & built the latest version (3.8) using the existing build scripts for xap/audacious & xap/audacious-plugins. At first the result was exactly the same when clicking the OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer checkbox - crashed audacious. However, I had noticed on their website that an optional Qt interface could be enabled by adding '--enable-qt' to the configure line of the build script. I rebuilt with --enable-qt and ran it as 'audacious --qt' and in that mode, the OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer checkbox worked as expected - no crash and nice looking opengl visualization.
I then went back to see if the existing version (3.7.2) would work the same way but the audacious-plugins-3.7.2 would not compile with --enable-qt. So, short of fixing the actual bug, the workaround is to build version 3.8 with the --enable-qt option and always use the --qt option at runtime. chris |
Its a solution - I could just recompile using slackbuilds for 3.7.2 - Just too lazy right now:p; then I have to figure out the shortcuts for my particular WM(LXDE) - since I don't feel like running audacious in a terminal, seems unnecessary to me. Overall I consider that a solution though.
