Not sure if anyone is familiar with diagnosing this type of issue, but here goes..

I am getting seg faults when I play with the color settings. (Edit > Color Settings > moving the sliders) My shell spits out a bunch of X11 related errors right before the crash. Still, not really losing sleep over this one, but I would like to increase my saturation a hair.

Also, just tonight I got this error when opening the channel editor.

UI_EVENT_VALUE_CHANGE to UI_ScrollBar

UI_EVENT_VALUE_CHANGE to UI_StepButton

This however did not cause a crash. Does anyone know what this means? I'm not sure if it's my setup or Houdini.

Apprentice HD 9.0.794
Ubuntu 7.04 (x86_64)
Nvidia quadro fx4500 - most recent drivers - composite disabled, ci overlay on, vertical trace - off.
AMD x2 Opteron's


Also.. random question. I would get the most recent daily build but there's no notes for them lately. Does SESI compile a new daily build even without changes, or do they adjust things that aren't “worthy” of noting in the dev journal?

Thanks

This generally means that Houdini is generating too many internal UI events. This is almost always a bug in Houdini, not your setup.

This has been a continuing problem for me on Ubuntu, CentOS and OSX. It usually happens when I'm in VOPS trying to lay down a node, it fails and all of a sudden it just doesn't allow me to lay nodes down at all anymore. The only remedy I've found is to restart my session.
Anyone else running into this?

Yep we also get that error from time to time and have to restart the session.

We're running CentOS.

probably should let support@sidefx know eh…

Oh wow, I didn't realize this issue dated back so far. Still hitting this all the time on CentOS 5. Anyone figure out a non-restartical solution?

I'm also seeing this error on expecially long pulldown menus like the one for deleting groups in sops group node, when you have a lot of separate object groups. I'm doing a lot of shattering geo lately, and when
this error happens enough times it starts to turn the pulldown black and the list is offset badly.
