Hmm, never heard of MX Linux. And I used to run MEPIS ages ago. I
presume whatever QT library MX Linux is using is the one that comes from
their distro. How does their QT library compare to whatever the current
QT version is?
Is your MX Linux 32-bit or 64-bit? Just wondering, don't know if it's
important or not.
I use Debian 10. It looks like MX is based on Debian 9. So there might
be QT bug fixes Debian 10 has that Debian 9 doesn't. Also, Debian 10 has
RG 18.12 right now; that might have bug fixes missing from RG17.x.
I have a development snapshot (not a recent one, I'm sure) of RG 20.06.
It looks and works much better on my 4K display here than 18.12 does.
But I haven't tried recording any audio with it.
I have had crashes in the past with Rosegarden, but never while
recording audio or MIDI. Those were also on my old i7/16GB RAM. Current
machine is an i9/64GB RAM.
I mostly work in the score view and the main window. Might not trigger
the crashes you encounter.
You mentioned crashes when you record about 30 minutes. Maybe what's
happening is your system is set to record to tmp folder? On my system,
by default, it pointed /tmp at RAM, not disk. That makes things fast,
but at the time I only had 16GB of RAM and /tmp was only giving about
2GB or so. That maybe Audacity-specific, not RG. When I changed /tmp to
point to ~/tmp, suddenly the amount I could record jumped to 100+ hours.
Actually, I think RG records to a subfolder in your home folder? So
maybe that doesn't apply.
Hope that helps or inspires more ideas!

All just remember I am not blaming Rosegarden. This is not a rant or
badmouthing Rosegarden.
Rosegarden is free Magic software, unreplaceable for me.
Since this doesnt happen to those who responded, there must be
something locally here that triggers the crash and I think I know what
the culprit might be.
I really STRONGLY suspect QT to be the problem. If QT induces a crash
and take Ropsegarden with it, then Rosegarden was stopped without a
SIGINT and just crashed by QT.
Since there was not at least a SIGINT, all data in memory will be lost
and since it seems Rosegarden do not write to file and ljkeep the
recording in memory only writing upon save button, all will be lost.
I have had similar issues since QT was owned by Troltec decade or so
ago. I actually stopped developing with QT long ago due to similar
stability issues.
I am pretty sure the source of the problem is some QT library.
Rosegarden crashes when I press the Stop or pause buttons after a long
recording so it could be a QT widget issue after a period of time.
Otherwise
My recordings are generally long.
About 1/2 hour sessions.
The crash only happens on long clips.
Short clips dont crash.
I will make a video of the crash and then see if it happens with a
newer version.
The version I currently use is the latest for my Distro, but I will
upgrade to the newest unless there are unresolvable dependency problems.

Hi there!
Of course this is sad and an unwanted behaviour of the software (if it
is the software). But I want to point out that version 17.12 is also
very old. Which system are you running Rosegarden 17.12 with?
