I don't know how to fix the problem, but I see the MBUS related error when I move stuff around in the RAT ui too much.....things like moving the slider bar up and down a lot to scroll through the list of participants, or adjusting the volume seem to crash RAT....and like David said, by re-enabling audio through Preferences/Enable audio, I can bring rat back up again.....I also see this problem when certain nodes join a conference. I don't know if they are sending bad packets or what, but it seems that when some nodes enter or exit a meeting, rat crashes......I haven't isolated which exact nodes cause this, but others have noticed it as well..... BTW, I am running on Windows XP, onboard audio, single machine node...... At 01:30 PM 2/21/2006, you wrote: >Is there any mention of MBUS?

I am not getting any MBUS messages. I should have mentioned that I always use unicast since my network does not permit multicast. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas D.

Is there any mention of MBUS? We've seen MBUS-related problems on Windows a fair number of times. I certainly wouldn't suspect your memory. Has anyone had any luck addressing this problem?

ratmedia crash
by David Fitzgerald 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Hi everyone, Forgive me if this question has already been asked somewhere, but I have not seen any threads that answered my question. I have a PIG, running AGTK 2.4 under Windows XP SP2. Hardware is a Pentium 4, 2.6Ghz, with 512Mb RAM. Soundcard is a Soundblaster Live 24, and video capture card is a Winnov Videum 1000 VO Plus. My problem is during every AG session, I lose audio, and get the pop-up message: "Ratmedia has encountered a problem as has to close ...." The error log shows the message: "Faulting application ratmedia.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module ratmedia.exe, version 0.0.0.0 fault address 0x0001d6a6." Video continues to tansmit and receive just fine, only audio is gone. Also, I usually, but not always, get a second error message that says: "Fault bucket 84770519." When this happens, if I go into node manager and disable then re-enable the audio service, audio comes back for awhile until the next crash. Is this a memory problem, i.e. a bad memory chip or too little RAM? If someone could help me track down the cause of this problem I'd really appreciate it!

question about Audio Capture
by Drew Sandler 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Hello, We're currently in the final stages of installing our AG node and we have some questions about audio capture. We are planning to have 1 pc (Linux) handle Audio and Video capture is there an audio card you can recommend? We are looking at the SB Audigy... I've also been told that it's possible the on-board audio will be sufficient... Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Drew Sandler Institute for Theoretical Sciences University of Notre Dame

Hi Rosario, I was getting crashes under windows with shared pdf, and fixed it by downgrading acrobat to version 5.1.

Thanks for the quick response :-) Am I right that swig is just used for the building of pyglobus and I can safely let portage update it back to 1.3.25 after I install pyGlobus? -- Colin Macdonald Graduate Student, Dept. of Mathematics, Simon Fraser University mail: cbm[at]sfu[dot]ca, phone: 604.268.6689 (office)

Hey, thanks for helping out. For bug 1389, I'd suspect the SWIG version. I expect we were using 1.3.24 or earlier at the time.

I attached my updated ebuild to work around the RUNPATH problems. Its not really a fix, just a workaround (I can't be bothered trying to understand a build process that isn't "configure, make, make install") Anyway, at least I can build globus-data-management-client again.
