I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 today, had problem with and uninstalled Mangler, added the new (10.10 I believe) PPT, and re-installed Mangler.

Previously, I had everything in Mangler working fine, with my mouse PTT working off of button 9 on my mouse.  I had downloaded the PPA for 10.04 and got it installed just fine.  I  have everything in Mangler configured the same as before, but the mouse PTT no longer works after my upgrade to 10.10.  KB PTT is working fine, but isn't really a good option.

It's not clear to me (I'm a Linux noob really) how/if to patch this under Maverick.  I don't know if the 10.04 PPA can or should be installed on a 10.10 system or if there's a 10.10 PPA.  I thought's that was what I installed to reinstall Mangler, i.e.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mangler/mangler

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mangler

Could someone be kind enough to give me a hand?  I'm really wanting to avoid installing Vent on Linux because of all the probelms I hear about and because the few days I used Mangler the quality and reliability was _so_ much better than my Vent experience on Windows.

I'll second this, and since Ubuntu 10.10 is officially released as of today, I suppose it's appropriate to report this.  My bug is somewhat different (although I think related), and it happens all the time.  I'll log into a server with Mangler, using PTT on my mouse, using a USB headset for my audio input, and my onboard audio for output to speakers (I only have this headset as a USB mic, because the headphones on it are broken, and it's the only mic I have).  It's a bit of an odd setup, I know, but prior to upgrading to 10.10 from 10.04 it worked flawlessly.

Anyway, everything works fine for about 2 or 3 minutes, sometimes longer, using either Pulse or ALSA.  Then, my input will stop working (but I will still light up like it's working fine when I PTT).  I can still receive just fine, but everyone says I can no longer be heard when this happens.  To remedy the problem, I close Mangler.  Upon closing, I'm told that everything I previously said during this problem input time will come through all at once in one big stream.  At first I thought the problem was simply network lag, but this is very reproducible, which believes me it's tied to the input going "dead" until Mangler is closed.  If I reopen Mangler, all seems to work well from that point on, but again only for another 2 or 3 minutes.

Any insight or patches on the matter would be greatly appreciated.  Don't get my wrong, I think you guys have created an awesome piece of software, given the circumstances.  I just wanted to let you know so perhaps it could be fixed.  Thanks in advance.
