Re: [PD] autoboot in Linux - solution
by chun lee 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hi there: Following this thread, I have also experimented starting Pd automatically but after the login instead of during the boot. I did it by having similar script as the below and used the "(in FC2+Gnome)Menu->Preferences->Sessions->Startup Programs" to call the script. However, I noticed that the Pd I started this way don't have the terminal window which acts as the Pd's message window. How can I script it in such way that I got Pd with the message window? Many thanks CHUN > >#! /bin/sh >echo -n "starting pd..." >PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin >cd /home/glui >pd -verbose -nogui -nomidi \ >-lib /usr/lib/pd/extra/OSC \ >-lib /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy \ >-open /home/glui/proj/LIDARmacher/pd/GPlayerStereo.pd & >--

The fingerworks SDK is very cool - I checked it out yesterday when I saw the Lemur thing. Things it outputs right out of the box include: its best estimate of which finger and which hand a given touch point is coming from, how hard the area is being touched (using the radius of the pressure point, it's not actually velocity-sensitive), touch point eccentricity (ratio of height to width), and a given touch-event is tracked throughout its "life" with a unique ID. I'd love to shell out $300 to get a fingerworks gadget and attempt to scribble up an external for it, but I'm too busy just trying to do music right now to get involved with new gear and excessive coding...I'm even too busy to practice with the serial mouse abstraction i just finished... rs

auto login + auto run pd on linux
by rob canning 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

hi, i have made an installation using pd and am migrating it to a planetccrma box from a windows machine - i need the patch to open automaticaly when the system boots up - in windows i just put a shortcut to my .bat file in the startup folder which worked fine. how do i do this in Linux? also i have stupidly locked myself out my root account by: chsh -s /sbin/nologin i thought this would bypass the login procedure - whoops! how can i get my root account back? this is my real problem at the moment thanks, rob www.robcanning.utvinternet.com

Re: [PD] firewire linux/osx soundcard to use with PD?

Hallo, (I'm CC'ing pd-list again, because that's helpful for others, too.) altern hat gesagt: // altern wrote: > hi frank > >AFAIK no firewire soundcard runs on Linux yet, but developers are > >getting close. > > how close are they? do you know if this is going to take very long?

They are devloping a driver for FW-cards with the DM1000 chip with support from the chip manufacturer. Cards with this chip include (according to website): * ESI QuataFire 610 * M-Audio Firewire Audiophile * M-Audio Firewire 410 * M-Audio Firewire 1814 * Terratec Aureon 7.1 FireWire * Edirol FA-101 I have no idea how far they are and how easy this is, but my uneducated guess is: 4.6 to 8.1 months. > What about usb2.0? ALSA seems to support USB 2.0 devices in kernel 2.6, but I don't know any details. > thank you very much for your tips. I have been trying to find info on > the net but its confussing. Do you recomend any mailing list or url? alsa-user is the best list for this and linux-audio-user. [1] Also searching the alsa-devel archives is useful. See alsa-project.org for subscription info.

I might be wrong but when you said Paint effects I thought something like active textures which are possible with Squeaks 3D engine, each GUI Element, socalled morphs, can generate and change a texture in realtime. Of course its possible with GEM too, one example are the videotextures. But the possibilitys with Squeak are very interesting and it becomes another item in my toolbox for interactive art. With the classes of the Siren project it can be interfaced via OSC. And have a look at the croquet 3D collaborative environment!

Re: RRADicaled drum abstractions...

I attached a very simple >implementation of this: originator just got onee mor object: [/preset >$1( connected to the final [OSCprepend $1], and rrad.tpl as an example >then routes this info to set the radio button. ummm, I was just looking a solution that can fix it with minimum modification:) Since [r $2-substate-r] is already set in the patch. I have not tried the patches you attached yet, but I can understand your method and it makes sense. Its much more flexible for people who use it. Would the new originator be up in the CVS soon? In addition, I suggested that putting the drum abstractions I made in the rradical CVS. As I have not put anything up before, my apologies for not knowing any CVS conventions. Can people just put things up as they wish? Or are there any common consensus that needs to be reached first before one can put things up? Many thanks Yours CHUN

using a miroMOTION DC30 with PD/GEM?
by Andres Cabrera 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

This thread makes remember a question I've had for a while. Is anyone using a capture card like the miroMotion or similar to go into pd, and if so how is the video latency for these cards? I currently use a DV camera with firewire, but the latency is high so you can't do all you want to... AndrÃ©s > The Canopus ATC100 is perhaps a good alternative on a mac (firewire box > that converts analog to DV and vice versa) >
