Slackware :: ZynAddSubFX As DSSI Plug-in For Rosegarden?
Jan 21, 2011
The sound capability of ZynAddSubFX and Rosegarden's ability to use LADSPA along both Windows VST's and DSSI plugins like ZASF are simply excellent illustrations of Chris Cannam's ability to transform the chaotic mess of audio on Linux into something sonically and visually!

An incredible combination ... which doesn't even address the ability to produce stellar musical documents as well... I'll probably move my comments on adapting this combination for Slackware64 from the Desktop thread to here ...
I have been using slackware for quite some time now and love installing software in it. Since you get to know whats actually going into your system adn all. Anyways I have been trying to download and install Rosegarden all day now. I installed all the dependencies listed here:
ladspa_sdk dssi liblo liblrdf
[code]....
i have to physically stop it because my computer hangs up so bad and it sits like that for hours! Granted this is Rosegarden 10.04.1 but i have also installed 10.04.2 under my downloads section and ran into the same problem. Now i know that slack 13 dropped QT3 and went to QT4. Rosegarden 10.04.2 was supposed to run on QT4 but i get the same code and the same hang up every single time. No matter what version i try to install. I only tried 10.04.1 thinking that maybe it would work on the slack 13 kernel since thats the number that was for this build in slackbuild.org and 10.04.2 was in the 13.1 tree but neither of them install and just hang up on the computer. Is it a qt3 to a qt4 issue?
I was trying to plug projector on my laptop with slackware 13.1 installed. The problem is that the projector stops showing whenever I start X. I can see everything starting from LILO loader, but whenever I type "startx" - bam, no signal or just a black screen on the wall. I try to switch to console mode with ctrl+alt+f1 - the view appears, switching back to X with ctrl+alt+f7 - view disappears. I am using awesome WM. I tried XFCE, but the result was the same. I also tried to change resolution to
Code: xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768 / 800x600 , but again, no difference. My laptop is ASUS F3Jc. Fn keys doesn't help as well.
There are no Graphical User Interfaces showing up for DSSI Music Instruments.
This was the reason why ...

I have been trying to get the Editor to appear for DSSI-synths in Rosegarden for a long time. But no success. The same problem happens with jack-dssi-host and ghostess. Tried to put the hostname in /etc/hosts. Even tried with KDE.
But then I realized that I had no file /etc/hostname. Everything else worked anyway. So I made one, and put the hostname in it. And - halleluja - I have Editors!
So obviously these things (OSC?) looks for the file /etc/hostname.
What I'd like to have is alsa mixer enable microphone on plug-in and mute it on plug-out.
It's because when enabled it produces unwanted noise in the speakers, so I have to manually turn it off once I'm done with using skype and turn on again when I get a call. I'd like to automate that process.
When I start Rosegarden, my computer freezes. No faillure reports, nothing. Tyan-Tiger K8W, two Opterons 250, 4 GB memory, OpenSUSE 11.3, Linux 2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop x86_64, KDE 4.4.4 "release 2".
I want to use rosegarden purely for midi (i.e not audio, recording synths etc.) as my midi keyboard already has loads of great tones. When jackd is running, it really slows rosegardens performance, and the trouble is with the new rosegarden (10.04) jack is started automatically when you start rosegarden. Is there a way to prevent this? Please help, rosegarden is a great app but this is rather annoying. Uninstalling jack would be bad because other things I need use jack.
I am trying to use Rosegarden but it does not see any midi ports. If I run LMMS it is able to see 20:UA-4F and 14:Midi Through. Jack sees them too. Furthermore, Rosegarden's transport does not even start, no synths availble. How to set rosegarden? (I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx)
I am trying to use rosegarden, but it says "midi fine, no audio". I found a thread with this same issue and that said to instal jackd and a synth. So I installed qsynth and tried to start jackd. When starting jackd i get this error:
I want to experiment with Hydrogen, Rosegarden and other music apps it seems that jack is a useful program to do that. I have a standard install of Lucid. When I start Jack, it gives a message "suspending Pulseaudio The jack apps I am using have no sound. I assume that I need to set up an ALSA device to connect Jackd to? Is that correct?
[Note: I found these instructions for "running Pulseaudio on top of jack" [URL].. but they look more complicated than I need. I'm only using jack a little each day so I am fine with turning off Pulse during those times.]
What is the simplest way to get sound out of Jack apps? If it is to set up an ALSA device, how do I do that without interfering with Pulse which will be running the other 90% of the time? Or am I totally misunderstanding the setup?
I have just finished installing Ubuntu Studio in my machine and downloaded and installed the Nvidia drivers. I was so excited about using the desktop visual effects that I had seen in some advertising. But first, I just found 3 options in the Appearences config none, normal and extra. Where are desktop effects such as windows trasparence, the cube an others?
Second, and worst, I enabled the "extra" options and found its effects pleasant, but I could not use the for any longer because when I launch Rosegarden with desktop effects enabled, Rosegarden's title screen appears and after that its windows doesn't appear. I found out that the problem is enabling desktop effects because when they are disabled Rosegarden starts completely in few seconds. I even made a test and enabled effects, launched Rosegarden, wich of course dind't appear, after that disabled effects and Rosegarden's window imediately appeared. I use this software every day and it was the main reason why I migrated to Ubuntu. How can I use Rosegarden and visual effects as well?
PS: My PC has Pentium dual core with 2 x 1,88, 3GB RAM and Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS. My system is Ubuntu Studio 10.10 with Rosegarden 10.10 installed from [URL]
Recently one of my 8.04 updates included a Firefox update that is causing my computer to freeze up and overheat on occasion when I am forced to use my Firefox browser!
When it happens I have to unplug my computer because even the force quit does not work when this happens.
Is there a simple way to get rid of all of my old Firefox plug-ins and add ons?
I have rescued a HD from a computer and i want to connect it in my machine so i can and have extra storage space. i connected it before but got directed to bios settings. I think there is the need to set a jumper at some point? My old IBM HD has a lot of different jumper possibilities in the back, of which i know nothing...
I use my old computer as an NAS, so I remove the monitor after I installed linux on it (disconnect vga cable). I use ssh to control the machine and it works fine. Until some day, after kernel/softare upgrade or messing up some configs, I cannot connect to it through ssh, then I have to plug the monitor back, but the monitor says "No input signal". So I have to restart the computer WITH the monitor connected, and the monitor's back!
I think the computer/linux kernel doesn't detect the monitor plug-in event. So how can I start my linux box without a monitor, but when it goes wrong I can still plug my monitor (vga) back and use the console.
Edit: just one pci-e video card, has dvi, vga, tv/out (s-video)
Edit2: Xorg is not running. I just need the console (CTRL+ALT+F1). The problem is, if the machine booted without a monitor connected, it won't give me a pseudo terminal after I attach the vga cable while it's running. Clearly the monitor is not auto detected as usb device. I'm wondering how to let the monitor auto detected.
My mouse isn't working when I plug it in, it's a USB Logitech Wireless Mouse and it doesn't work unless I boot with it plugged in then it stops working eventually.
I have 11.04 installed, not using Unity, went back to Gnome2. I have tried using Synaptic and the Software Center, all installs go fine, no errors, but I cant see them in the CCSM. Everything is working very well and bug free for me. Not having a problem at all, its just that I am missing the Snowflakes, Leaves ect., and some extra effects for windows animations that I like.
Things I'v tried: Uninstalled from Synaptic and reinstalled extras plug-ins Looked in the The Software Center (everything says its installed) Yelled at Computer
OS version is Ubuntu 10.10.I have Java installed in my machine.But,when it comes to web browser(Firefox) I can't see Java plug-in in the Add ons.Can anyone tell me what's the cause of this issue.
Code: sandy@ubuntu:~$ java -version java version "1.6.0_20" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.9) (6b20-1.9.9-0ubuntu1~10.10.2) OpenJDK Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode) When I go to this web page(http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp) a message appears saying "Something is wrong.Java is not working"
Long time lurker here. I regret the fact that my first post is a request for information, but I am totally stumped. A while back, I saw a photo of a small Linux server that looked like a laptop adapter (i.e., a plug, a cord, and a 2"x3"x8"-ish box). It was a very simple box that could be used as a server, with a network jack as the only I/O. I have been looking for this type of server for days, and I cannot seem to find it using my usual methods. I want to buy one of these for my brother as a birthday gift. If anyone has any idea what I might be talking about and can point in the right direction,
