ProjectM and Clementine freezes

[alienjon]

Trying out clementine for the first time and I compiled it with projectm support. Clementine itself seems to work fine, including when I open the projectm visualization from the tools menu. I can also fullscreen the visualization (it starts off windowed), but if I exit full screen mode the projectm window completely freezes and the whole system slows to a crawl. I tried upgrading projectm to the newest version in portage (a 2.0 derivative) but now it freezes when I simply enable visualizations. I ran it in a console and only see expected output:

How do I enable the visualizations ?

Just emerged the projectM from portage, restarted Clementine but as you can see from the screenshot, the visualizations is still showing grey in the tools of Clementine.. How about that?

Yeah and I know, portage is nagging about those config files.. I dont know what to do with them either.. Nothing?

uuuuhh so embarassed again...

I missed the "projectm" use flag.. lets try again.

Still dunno about those config files but maybe some day

Edit:

The visuals work perfectly. Perhaps couple of them doesnt work but there is still lots to choose from..
Fullscreen mode, medium settings and 25fps , Clementine takes about 17 - 20 % cpu on my Amd x2 5000+ cpu
Not too bad, could be better maybe, I dont know the CPU usage with these kind of things in Windows world for example.

ANYWAY... couchbtato, sounds like they're working well enough for you thought? Might be a system issue for me. Would you please post the output of:

emerge projectm clementine -pv

and

emerge --info



ppurka, any luck on your end?

I dont know what to do with those config files and my system is working perfectly so I just keep them as they are.
Crappy system this config thing.

etc-propolsals, diff, dispatch

could you make for example 100 programs more, to f*** around with these config files?

Lets make things little more difficult and lets make some more variables and programs that all do the same thing, littlebit different than another.

Remember when you are making a new software for this, that you wont use none of the existing libraries, dont improve the existing softwares, just make new "better" ones and remember too make the online guides so goddam difficult for average person to understand, that I'll have to ask from the forums.

And in the forums, they answer to you "RTFM"

thanks.

As for Clementine virtualizations: I've been useing Clementine for quite a while and have projectm USE on just for fun. Working flawlessly.

I never had used this "diff" command in my life. I'm no "guru" sorry about that.

would it be impossible to make some simplier solution for this and just don't ban every people who gets frustrated of confusing different programs and solutions?

Maybe something like:

bash# clear-configs

"Is your Firefox browser working propeprly? Yes/No" -> Yes -> System makes the proper changes.

That would be more human and logical way to deal with this, at least to me.

Closing for obvious reasons.

I should have mentioned before but I had originally tested on 1.2.0 but decided to try it again. The visualizations still freeze, but installing it a second time I notice a difference in the way it freezes between the two versions: 1.2.0 actually freezes the entire system except the audio (as in, the song I'm listening to might stutter a little, but it'll keep on playing) but the rest of the system freezes hard (I need to ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X or restart the system as everything but the mouse is unresponsive. With the newer, 2.0.1, version the program freezes and the audio stops completely. However, the system itself is still responsive such that I can click the 'x' on the visualization window and the visualization will close, removing the freeze. (Again, this all only happens after I return to 'non fullscreen' with the visualization from a full screen)

The impression I get, though, is that my system isn't physically all that different from all, of yours where the program/visualizations are working; could this simply be a configuration issue with something? I mean, my graphics driver is running fine, audio is setup and running okay, and no problems with X so far as I can tell. At the same time, not sure what the configuration problem might be or where...

What kernel version are you all using? (just to cover all bases) I'm at linux-2.6.34-gentoo-r12

Also, ssteinberg. Could I trouble you to share the live ebuild as it isn't in the tree?

2.6.36-pf2
There are no errors in dmesg or ~/.xsession-errors when freezing?
