1. No ffmpeg packages. Can go without.
2. No Lame packages. I would prefer to have them. Tried environmental variables but apparently what is on my kdedir is not what is required. I have other lame encoders.

Other ./configure is OK.

make: got this far, then:

There are tarballs of the libraries used with the program on the website. I took the cvs snapshot of portaudio offered, built that and compiled successfully with this. So the "new" functions are implemented in this version.

OK. Looks nice, but:
1. No choice of audio device and much too limited choice of bit depth and sample rates. Not everyone uses 48000 and I never heard of 24000. Good old 16k/44100 is still around. Conversion is slllooooowwwwwww.
2. MIDI device list is empty. Maybe this is not yet implemented but I have the same problem on other portaudio/portmidi using apps in their first stages.
3. As I said before: Jack! This might take of and solve the bit depth/rate issues and let one connect devices.
4. jacklaunch wired is a hangup and crash. Not unusual. - Jun 15 2006

Linking of AudioEngine.cpp yields a bunch of undefined references to functions such as Pa_GetDeviceCount, etc.

These should be in Portaudio but are not. I have the latest portaudio from Debian Sid.

They seem to be variations of what there is:
GetOutputStream OutputStrem
IsStreamActive StreamActive
and such.

Would it be worth trying a Pa_alsiases.h file with a bunch of #defines? Or is there some other module needed here? - Jun 14 2006

MusE - midi/audio sequencer

Audio Apps by spamatica 17 comments

Got previous release to compile and run fine. The node.h surgery a bit more involved in 0.8.1:

All muse subdirectory references to node.h need to explicitly reference, i.e. #include "../node.h". This is because there is a node.h in the qt3/kde includes that might get referenced first! Also, the current node.h needs to include "plugi.h".

After getting all this to compile, I had the thing fail on stuff in the main linux includes. I can provide a long error list. I have the latest 2.6.16 kernel sources.

One hint: KDE stuff similarly failed. This was easier to fix. A limits.h had a type not typedef'd and an undefined entity. In the non __KERNEL__ ifdef branch, I placed a typedef and #define to fix. Chose values for my architecture--a real patch would be more versatile. - Apr 01 2006

While I am not a big fan of the super-karamba appearance, another sudoku I could not resist. All in all works well. As of version 2.0

Game generation very slow and one wonders if it's stuck.

The guess numbers are unreadable. OK, I am using 1100 x 760 but a more normal 1024 screen would not fare better. Too existing sudokus, "solo" and ksudoku both (the kde at my suggestion) place the numbers as superscripts in the box itself--can be larger and on a light background! - Mar 09 2006

The program cannot set up a MIDI from either ALSA or OSS so sets it to dummy. If I manually set it and then restart the program, the same thing occurs.

My setup is:
1. en1371 audio (old clunker I fished from the can but my dman2044 has no Linux support!)
2. Roland UM1 USB MIDI interface. I plug a MusicStar controller in to that. They sold these for 40 bucks on EBay a while back--no for performance, no touch, but 10-note polyphony--should have taken more than one!
3. Yamaha sw60xg run through mpu401 driver.

The program sees the mpu401 if I select ALSA. Still does not take it on restart. - Feb 04 2006

Guarddog

Security by sbe 16 comments

I like guarddog, have been using off Debian Sid. This app must be correctly installed and local "clik" type installations may not cut it.

Because of Sid's current problems, I built kde3.5 with konstruct and must now build kde apps to get it all off Sid.

Guarddog and some other compiles fail is this manner:
:guarddog.cpp:(.text+0x3211): undefined reference to `vtable for GuarddogApp'
guarddog.o: In function `GuarddogApp::~GuarddogApp()':guarddog.cpp:(.text+0x331a): undefined reference to `vtable for GuarddogApp'

OK, simply changing the mixer back to alsa (BTW it said jack, not SDL) got the program up again. MIDI does not work. Cannot create client (using mpu401). I thought this was a problem with jack but apparently elsewere as well. Also note that the SDL option needs some documentation since simply selecting this will never work and can be catastrophic to non-geeks.

Some GUI suggestions:

The four tiny buttons heading each track are confusing and not useful--screen realestate could be better used:

1. Clone. Not often used so better elseware in the GUI, ie. right click menu option.
2. Delete. Too easy and no warning.
3. Up 4. down. Not needed here--drag and drop would be better and by checking the mouse position over neighboring track, existing code could still be used.

I would rather have the usual set here: Solo/mute, etc. You have a mute, no solo. - Dec 24 2005

Latest and greatest compiles fine, looks really cool (though I could live without Santa Clause, humbug and all that).

Tried the Bach with ALSA. Got it to play after a bit.

Tried with Jack. Program could not do MIDI and Bach did not play--position cursor did not move.

Tried with SDL. Segmentation fault. Now the problem is I cannot get the app up again to go back to ALSA. Segfaults on startup.

How can I fix this (could not find any config or lmmsrc file)?

A good idea might be a separate setup app, run on first startup or install and available for cases like this! - Dec 22 2005

Yes indeed, the resize works.

The number-choosing toolbar makes that a bit more convenient but I prefer the "solo" interface.

The possibilities number (superscript) are unreadable at (to me) sensible window sizes. Plenty of room to make 'em bigger :-)

Your hard games are really hard! I can always solve solo's! - Sep 12 2005

1. Window is far too large. Would like an option to resize. I am running at 1178 x 860 or something like that so if it's so big on mine, think about those running 1028 or smaller!

2. Right-click entry of "possible" entries is very awkward having to "select a number" beforehand. Look at the interface in the "sgt-puzzles" package "solo"--very similar but much more playable. Also, his screen size might be small for some but I like it. - Sep 10 2005

I have been after gurunet.com, answers.com to support Linux. They, of course, use the easy to use Microsoft browser COM object.

I installed the KDE java bindings. The QT3 stuff is huge--a whole other java library. The KDE dcop an "koala" are smaller.

Actually, the way I would want to implement a KDE java binding would be:

1. Real KDE specific stuff like the dcop, user preferences in styles, etc., needs be it own package additional to the java-vm. Swing is skinnable (is comes with its own "metal", Windows and Motif looks--remember Motif--when Unix was young and older programmers could still find employment!) The KDE UI manager would be added here! No need for most of the QT3 classes.

2. On app startup, check if KDE is running. If not, then if the app needs KDE, gracefully exit. Otherwise, use the default or other UI handler.

3. Now call on the KDE UI handler and voile, KDE (or KDE-like) look and feel. - May 26 2005

OK. Google is full of this and for expensive commercial apps at that. The major/minor business means that the program was "compiled" for a newer Java than that on your machine and at some point, they no longer mesh.

Best would be to use the sources and "compile" on your Java. - Apr 13 2005

So was I :-). Nothing to do with kde-apps or any other source but I too assumed the pure Java was just that. Has anybody had the thing run successfully on Blackdown's build? Also, my java -version displays:
java version "1.5.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_01-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_01-b08, mixed mode, sharing). Note the added mode "sharing". Relevant--who knows.

I await some advice from other Netbeans users. Meanwhile, since the thing uses threads and your errors cite "privileged" and such, try running as root. IF that works, we've found the culprit. However, I do not run as root. I suppose the next time I play with this, I will try catching security/privilege exceptions and see what happens (Netbeans will normally DEMAND treatment of exceptions and did not demand it for these!) - Apr 11 2005

Blackdown is NOT Sun. As I said, Debian has any number of alternatives and you get one without ever making a choice, it seems. I tried to install Eclipse and ended up with Kaffe replacing Sun as the Java "alternative". Took a lot of bother to get things back. - Apr 10 2005

xjig has nothing to do with java.

I have Sun's 1.5 but I am not using any new features that I am aware of--1.4 should work. I am now expert, however.

Note that Debian sports a bunch of Java-vm's, sable-vm, kaffe, free-sdk, etc. You may one or more of them. It is very easy for one of these to be your java-alternative without having decided on this one. It can be tricky to get Sun's Java to be the one and one may need to play with "alternatives".

java -version may give you information. I can only vouch for Sun as I made this with Netbeans. - Apr 10 2005
