Y-ellow All.
OK. need some help here. I regret to say that I'm not getting much
mileage out of AVlinux. I haven't felt quite like throwing a computer out
the window, since Turtle Beach first started making sound cards. Well, OK,
It's not quite that bad but it's certainly reminiscent. Ah them were the
days... However I think my days of experiments in computer aerodynamics are
behind me. :) I hope.
I'm not even quite sure what questions to ask at this point. There is so
much not working properly. It all seems quite hopeless. So ultimately; I
need to know if I am wasting my time or should I persist? Should I move on
and try a different distro? Though I actually like the distro it self.
The test bed is fairly simple...
2.8 gig P4
1 gig RAM
Hoontech DSP124 (Envy24) sound card.
Evolution MK249 USB keyboard.
The final system will be different to this but this will have to do as a
proof of concept. All of which appears to work in and of it self.
For the most part, software will either connect to MIDI or Audio but not
both. All except for that little drum machine thing. Hydrogen? I get sound
and MIDI but it Xruns and crashes regularly. I'm not so much worried about
the Xruns at this point. There are bigger issues. Linux sampler only works
as a Zynjacku plug in. Except that Zynjacku's MIDI comes up in the MIDI tab
of JACK. Everything else comes in under the ALSA tab. Which means there's
no way to connect to it. Or no obvious way.
Yoshimi looked really interesting. It looks as though you can use samples
as oscillators which could be what I'm after. Except that as above, I can't
connect MIDI into it. And even when using the little keyboard
applet/window, it crashes a lot. Usually it takes JACK out as well. To the
point of requiring a reboot. Because the frozen windows lock themselves and
I can't kill them. And JACK won't connect anything after that. I guess I
could find the process and kill it. I can't see that being very helpful up
on stage in front of an audience though. And the last time it crashed, it
seems to have crashed permanently. Yoshimi will load and lock it self and
that's all.
Perhaps the recording apps work well. I don't know. I'm not set up to test
that. And this is not my current focus.
So anyway, if any of this sound familiar and is easily fixed then I'd be
over the moon to hear about it. Or alternatively, should I move on to try
another distro?
Thanks in advance.
Be absolutely icebox.

Y-ellow All.
And thanks for the help. Most appreciated.
However, now JACK won't start at all. And a2jmidi clocks up an error
message of it's own. With some difficulty, I have managed to capture those
error messages and paste them here. Typos are all mine...
JACK starts up with this....
----------------
creating alsa driver ... hw:1|hw:1|1024|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit
control device hw:1
ALSA: Cannot open PCM device alsa_pcm for playback. Falling back to
capture-only mode
cannot load driver module alsa
00:54:41.861 JACK was stopped successfully.
00:54:41.862 Post-shutdown script...
00:54:41.863 killall jackd
jackd: no process found
00:54:42.278 Post-shutdown script terminated with exit status=256.
----------------
And then a few seconds later, this error message pops up. And does so
repeatedly every 20 seconds or so.
----------------
00:54:43.855 Could not connect to JACK server as client. - Overall
operation failed. - Unable to connect to server. Please check the messages
window for more info.
----------------
a2jmidi on the other hand presents me with this error message.
----------------
Error a2j_jack_client_create: Cannot create jack client
Error a2j_start: a2j_new() failed.
----------------
The first part of this seems to be saying that ALSA failed to locate the
sound card?
Maybe I should just re-install the whole thing from scratch. The one thing
that WAS working reliably was the sound card it self. It would probably be
quicker than trying to figure out what has actually become broken. Though
on the other hand, perhaps I need to know if this is going to be an
on-going concern?
Can I be so foolish as to ask why there needs to be a `bridge' and `JACK'
to do this? Is there some greater philosophical mechanism at play here? Is
this some function of JACK also being able to connect to things like OSS
and what ever they use on Macs these days?
Anyway, Thanks guys. Much appreciated. Onward.
Thanks for the headsup on Yoshimi. It will be a nice little synth then at
some point. Hopefully soon.
Thanks again.

Hmmm, I've never had Yoshimi lock. And I'm not up to version 0.060.1 yet!
I have had Zyn lock, though, especially when using latencies lower than
32ms on RT kernels.

Nope, it can't do that! Well, yet ...

Not entirely true. I'd consider 0.058.1 stable, and 0.060.1 is a minor advance
on that with no threats to that inherent stability. There's been a steady stream
of experimental versions, always tagged "-preX", so I suspect you're
assessment
is based on their reputation. Some of those experimentals have been erratic (to
put it kindly), not so 0.058.1/0.060.1.
cheers.

Works fine here. More cooperative with RT setups than Zyn is for me.
Yoshimi has command line options for specifying whether it uses ALSA or

I don't known the distribution you mention but... for some
of the things
you talk of (like using samples as oscillators) did you have a look at
Pure Data? You can easily connect midi and audio do very creative/exotic
stuff. I'm sure if you're a 'hardware guy' (if I understand correctly)
patching should be fun.
Just 2 euro-cents,

All I can say: a friend of mine here in Germ, who was heavily advocating
AVLinux last year, is now explicitly warning users NOT to use AVLinux 4.1.
Bad RT-Performance and other smaller issues he reports. Seems, AVL has
switched from Debian to Ubuntu. The very same step, that was one of the
last steps in the life of 64Studio....
I am about to download it anyway now and will report, if I have the same
trouble...

I am about to download it anyway now and will report, if I have the same

Thanks for that confirmation. I thought surely this couldn't just be me.
It's now pretty much fallen into an unusable heap. The entire OS crashes
for no apparent reason and I have to resort to a hard restart. I'll try a
different distro.
Thanks again.
Be absolutely icebox.

One of these other virtues is that it is a quite ordinary Linux
distribution that is just as tweakable as any other ordinary Linux
distribution. I'm not offended but I just feel I have to try to refute
the point of view that Ubuntu couldn't be used in a pro-audio

Yep, hence why didn't focus too heavily on your choice of apps
I've tried Thunar but just don't like it. Also ROX is closest to my Risc Os
roots :)
Ah! You're ex-RISCOS? All is forgiven/ explained then. I'm not
entirely sure Archimedes and RISCOS machines were available outside
blighty but they were quite cool for school at the time. I know the
Amiga was big all over Europe (well, UK and Germany at least) but i
suspect the Archy flopped outside UK schools due to lack of good
games. ARM went onto become a raging success of course and I think
they turned 20 recently.
I'd forgotten to include alsactl store - certainly used it!
Didn't know about apt-get build-dep ardour. I'm all for reducing lists of
install libraries!
That command is the Holy Grail of timesaving for Debuntu-using, Linux
audio addicts seeing as I doubt any other audio app can compete for
number of deps and most people on here will use or want to compile
Ardour at some time. Underhand compliment or what? :)
Dan, please!

I'm wishing for that as well all the time. I wonder who came up with the

"don't close menu if right-clicked" or "don't close if modifier
is
pressed when menu-item is clicked". I still call `!' `pling'...
I'm still missing the extremely handy RiscOS feature that right-click
on a menu allowed to make a selection without closing the menu. Such
a thing in GTK would have me saved hours of re-opening nested menus
in Ardour.

The alternative (for Ardour) would be to recode some of the menus
as dialogs. In RiscOS you could use a dialog box as a submenu as
well - it would just open at the right place and if you didn't
click in it go away when moving out, in the same way as a submenu
would. So with one click and few gestures you could have access to
any number of dialogs. Very productive.

There are a lot of such wrinkles I miss, that RiscOs had :(
Without a doubt the most productive GUI I've ever worked with.

Hi Folderol and list!
I think your debian LA config crib sheet should've been a new thread
as I can see this spawning a lot of debate and tweaks. When I'm
feeling better I may modify yours to how I do it but as for now I'll
just address a couple of standout points:

You seem to be aiming for lightweight here. Unless you need its
advanced features I'd use mtpaint instead of gimp. I use filezilla
instead of gftp for GUI ssh/ftp coz its cross platform.

Could add many many more to this list but I suspect most here know
what apps they want.

alsactl init (ignore errors)
reboot and use alsamixer to bring up levels (will be silent otherwise)
Then
alsactl store 0 (or whatever its alsa device number is)

You can vastly reduce the amount of dev packages you list here with a simple
apt-get build-dep ardour
Which will get most of the dev packages a LAU would want in one shot
(but not autoconf and subversion/ git to name a few notable
exceptions)

Instead of a blind "startx", you may find it handy to make your
.bash_profile a little smarter... i.e., here's what I use (on Arch):
if [[ "$DISPLAY" = "" ]] && [[ "$(tty)" =
"/dev/tty1" ]]; then
startx &> .xsession-log
logout
fi
This way, you can log into another virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2 for
example) and do some debugging in the background. Or it's handy if
you don't feel like firing up X at all.

From AVLinux website:
"...It ( AVLinux 4.1)
was created using the upcoming Debian GNU/Linux
'Squeeze' 6.0".
As far as I know, AVLinux has been using Debian testing since version
2.0, which dates back to 2007. While the former versions did use
Ubuntu, this introduced package instability at some point, which
motivated the move to Debian.
The maintainer has strong views about how reliable an audio-production
should be, and values system stability above anything else ; he
explains it better than me here:
http://www.remastersys.com/forums/index.php?topic=240.0
AVLinux works extremely well here, and is the first distro which has
allowed me to make more music than system maintenance; your mileage
may vary, of course.
The above forum is quite active and helpful, by the way; maybe the OP
could get some tips there ?
