Hello all,
64 Studio Ltd. is a company developing a collection of software for

I'm not quite sure how Ubuntu does it, but it looks like they've just
added 32-bit libraries for programs that can't run without

I too have a Delta 1010 in my studio, and it's very well supported
under Linux. I would recommend using 32-bit DeMuDi or Studio to Go

You can use a generic RTL8139 card in a half-height case - the boards

Hello all,
I can confirm that the problem seems to be liblo-related and nothing
to do with Jamin on amd64 as such. To recap, the Jamin segfault first
noticed in Debian pure64 is reliably reproduced in 32-bit DeMuDi on a
32-bit Intel machine.

Hi Per,

This might be right if your CPU cooling is particularly efficient, or
your box otherwise has inadequate ventilation. I have a heatpipe
cooler on my Opteron, and if I turn up the CPU fan I can make it
cooler than the rest of the system at idle.

I didn't think of that - I assumed the module was missing from the

Missing entry in the hardware detection list, perhaps?

That's more or less what I had in mind. Since this is bleeding edge
