Bug Description

Binary package hint: xnee

Both gnee and pnee crash immediately when clicking the record buttons.

Are they based on out of date source code?

I saw this other bug[1] stating that cnee and gnee worked fine in lucid but not in maverick. My experience was different. gnee failed in lucid. I didn't have the patience to try cnee.

xnee 3.02-2ubuntu2

dlm@dlm-laptop:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04

It's worse -- the crash is actually in cnee. Verbose log attached.

I don't know if this is a bug in cnee or if you are using out-of-date sources that are incompatible with the ubuntu 10.04 desktop.

There were a lot of things happening with some releases of X.org which caused Xnee to malfunction. Instead of spending time on fixing an old Xnee (3.02 is rather old, we're currently planning 3.08).

Can you test this non official release:

http://itupw056.itu.chalmers.se/xnee/nightly-dists/xnee-cvs-20110125.tar.gz

which is basically what make 3.08 is going to contain.

Yes, the pre-3.08 version works OK. It doesn't do everything that I need, but that would be a separate bug/feature request. Can close this one.
