Re: [LAU] starting pd-extended 0.42.5

Hmmm..... Not too sure why this doesn't work. However I looked in /usr/share/applications and "vim'd" pd-extended.desktop and got this: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Pd-extended GenericName=Pure Data Comment=Visual dataflow programming platform for multimedia Comment[ca]=Plataforma de programaci<97> visual per aplicacions multim<8f>dia Comment[de]=Grafische Datenflussprogrammierung f<9f>r Multimedia Comment[es]=Plataforma de programaci<97>n visual para aplicaciones multimedia Comment[fr]=Plateforme de programmation visuelle pour applications multim<8e>dia Comment[it]=Piattaforma di programmazione visuale per applicazioni multimedia Comment[pt]=Plataforma de programa<8d><8b>o visuais para multimedia Exec=pasuspender -- /usr/bin/pdextended -alsa %F Terminal=false Type=Application Icon=pd TryExec=pdextended Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;Video;Development MimeType=text/x-puredata;application/x-maxmsp;text/x-maxmsp; StartupNotify=false ~ .....Notice the bit in yellow? I'm wondering if that's colliding with Jack's settings somehow. (I tried commenting that part out and starting pd and it wouldn't even start). If I start pd via the terminal, say, like this: pdextended -jack channels 2 /home/aaron/Desktop/AaronsFiddleSplit.pd .....I still have to select "JacK' in my media settings (within PD) so it's not selected by default which one would think would be the case as that's the flag I sent it, correct? Either way, my audio settings don't seem to work in pd. Here's the messages I get before selecting Jack: error: channels: can't open error: 2: can't open fiddle version 1.1 TEST4 Then I'll click on DIO Errors and get this: seconds ago error type 2.35 unknown 2.35 unknown audio I/O error history: seconds ago error type 3.10 unknown 3.10 unknown audio I/O error history: seconds ago error type 3.57 unknown 3.57 unknown Then I'll select Jack in the media settings of pd and click DIO and get this: audio I/O error history: seconds ago error type 1.30 unknown 2.32 unknown 109.83 unknown 109.83 unknown Oddly enough, within Jack, all of my connections are gone. So basically it looks like there are no readable or writable clients to connect to. Even odder though is the fact that Jack is still running alright as I can watch a youtube video and audio still works. Thanks for any input. -Aaron On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 5:32 AM, Marco Donnarumma &lt;devel(a)thesaddj.com&gt;wrote;wrote: > Hi, > > AFAIK, no compilation flags are needed to enable jack support for pd-ext. > http://puredata.info/docs/developer/BuildingPdExtended > > After starting qjack, Have you already tried launching pd from terminal > with > pdextended -jack channels 2 <your patch name> > ? > > I don't know kxstudio, but IMHO it's unlikely that Pd would kick out jack. > > Here Ubuntu Lynx AudioPro customized, pd-ext 0.42.5. > > M > > > >> I use kxstudio which allows all audio to be routed to jack by default. >> >> However, when starting pd-extended 0.42.5 jack is killed and this makes >> life >> rough. >> >> Do I need to recompile pd manually in order to make it play nice? >> >> Thanks for any input. >> >> -Aaron >>
