Sorry I cannot reproduce the crash. Rosegarden behaves as expected here when I followed your steps. Questions: Any particular reason why this is reported to component fluidsynth-dssi? Can you provide a backtrace?
I've solved this issue. I changed the host name of my computer using the Live CD installer when I installed Fedora. However, this change was not reflected in my /etc/hosts file - for some reason it remained localhost.localdomain. That's why Rosegarden could not open the GUIs for the DSSI plug-ins. Provided your /etc/hosts file is correct you do not get an issue - if you change the name upon installing Fedora it will not work. Very sorry to have bothered you with this.
No problem at all. A crash is always a bug though. Normally I would expect the program to exit gracefully. I wonder where the conflict happens regarding the hostname. When you change the hostname during setup, that information is stored somewhere. Where is that place and how can rosegarden know about it? hmm....
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
