5.8.0 continuously crashes

Installation & Configuration Mac OS X
#1

Hello,

I just updated from 5.5.0 to 5.8.0 (I skipped 5.6.0). Unfortunately I experience continuously crashes both with the 32 and 64 bit versions.

Some crashes occur while renaming tracks or regions.

Others happen inevitably when suddenly the min:sec:frames display seems to be glued to the mouse pointer before it completely disappears and ardour crashes.

While loading the project the info line at the very bottom of the deitor window says something like “invalid source port system capture 1”. In the audio connection window I can’t find any wrong connections.

I work with MacBook Pro “Core i5” 2.53 15", OS 10.6.8

Cheers,
Frisio

Unfortunately, this sort of information doesn’t allow us to try to fix the issue. Please read http://ardour.org/debugging_ardour and try to get a backtrace (OS X makes this much harder these days than it used to be). Then file a bug report at http://tracker.ardour.org/ and we can look into it.
