zsh: 6462 illegal hardware instruction ardour

by Ralf

Hello :) I've got some trouble with Dynebolic and Linux in general. Relevant for my question(s) is this hardware and Software: Mobo ASRock K7VT2, Chipset VIA KT266A, AMD Athlon 900MHz Swissonic MIDI-USB 1x1, Plug & Play Soundcard TerraTec EWX 24/96 without MIDI Dynebolic ver 2.2 DHORUBA 6Oct06 Dynebolic ver 1.4.1 LUMUMBA 15Jan05 Question(s) about Version 2.2 If I try to run Ardour (by the Terminal) while Jack is running the following messages are displayed: [d:b] ~ #ardour [...] ardour: [INFO]: Jack server started [...] ardour: [INFO]: No H/W specific optimizations in use ardour: [WARNING]: Your system generates "Mod2" when the NumLock key is pressed. This can cause problems when editing so Ardour will use Mod3 to mean Meta rather than Mod2 zsh: 6462 illegal hardware instruction ardour [d:b] ~ # Ardour won't be opened. In Version 1.4.1 Jack doesn't recognize the MIDI of the game port and USB but if I run Ardour there the following will be displayed: [d:b] ~ #ardour [...] ardour: [ERROR] MIDI: no such port device ardour: [ERROR] MIDI: no such port device ardour: [WARNING]: Your system generates "Mod2" when the NumLock key is pressed. This can cause problems when editing so Ardour will use Mod3 to mean Meta rather than Mod2 [] Ardour will be opened. How can I get Ardour running in Version 2.2? More questions are already loaded ;). Greetings Ralf Mardorf Germany Oberhausen Rheinland

RE: [linux-audio-user] Attracting more Linux audio developers

I am hoping to change this as for one I am really getting burned out and two, I want to utilize my energy on other pressing and likely more important matters, such as incorporation of the organization as a non-profit entity and fund-raising. Unfortunately, even though we had a successful first round of recruiting volunteers, we are hardly at a point where I can say linuxaudio.org has adequate staffing. Regarding consistency, I am very much interested in that but putting some more thought into it (which was in part inspired by the discussion on the consortium list), I feel like total standardization may not be a good idea not only because some of the consolidated websites' webmasters do not feel inclined to do so, but also because we want the consortium to also reflect the freedom and variety Linux audio offers. Hence, standardization as such will likely come in something more subtle (i.e. logo plus perhaps some kind of a subtle corner css menu thingy). That being said, we've not tackled this yet, hence your contributions/ideas are more than welcome. Best wishes, Ico

RE: [linux-audio-dev] rebuilding the linux soundapps site

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Adoption of linux-sound.org into linuxaudio.org is a continuing standing offer, but obviously this is something that the community needs to embrace, rather than having a hostile takeover which will leave a sour aftertaste in everyone's mouths. Provided that the community is fine with this, the proposed course of action would be as follows: 1)generate apps.linuxaudio.org subdomain and port over a summary list of the applications (similar to Dave's format) 2) plug every listed app to the docs.linuxaudio.org wiki where we would build largest and most comprehensive documentation database Alternately, we could simply do everything inside docs.linuxaudio.org, but I feel that the usefulness of Dave's pages would be somewhat lost unless the docs would also have a nice categorized listing of available apps.

RE: linux audio wiki

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Hi Nedko, A while ago I proposed merging documentation efforts of the community, spearheaded by Dave's now unfortunately cancelled 2nd edition of his venerable book. Linuxaudio.org is already trying to head in this direction and we are currently in the process of assembling a team to utilize presently empty sub-domain docs.linuxaudio.org which ought to be perfect for this purpose (rather than hijacking lau faq site which has its own specific purpose). One possible scenario (which FWIW I very much favor) is to have a Wiki page that would sum up all of the projects listed on Dave's site as well as those that are also relevant but have not yet made it there. Using a similar template format we should provide a continuously updated consolidated resource for all Linux audio users, and more importantly all Linux distributions to reference. As such, we are also hoping to attract various distros to contribute to the same documentation project. So far goto10 guys (dyne creators) have expressed interest in the idea...

Consortium "Made in Linux" cover idea

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Apologies for the cross-posting -- the consortium listserv that is hosted by Agnula server continues to refuse forwarding e-mail to its members... Apropos CD covers for the vol.1, how about taking the image from the http://lau.linuxaudio.org/faq/ ? IMHO it best portrays the idea of "Tux Power" without even having to explicitly state the subtitle. So, we could have the subtitle on the side and the back but perhaps not on the front side of the cover? Or if we do have it on the front, perhaps making it intentional small and inconspicuous?

Linuxaudio.org staff updates

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

To the staff members: Hope you are getting comfortable with your new roles. I would like to use this opportunity to solicit updates from you guys. I am also to let you know that unfortunately Ross Hamblin who was our docs.linuxaudio.org webmaster will be stepping down due to some unforeseen health problems. This means that we need to make another call for volunteer staff. In addition, one of our yet to be announced new members goto10.org are also working on a documentation project and it seems that it would be a good idea to join forces for this purpose. Please use this e-mail therefore as a catalyst for further discussion. Cc: linuxaudio.org consortium mailing list Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Linuxaudio.org Director Virginia Tech Department of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-1137 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)linuxaudio.org http://www.music.vt.edu/people/faculty/bukvic
