I am now just getting back into pd mode since Sept
and I just recently upgraded Ubuntu from 9.04 -> 10.10
which needed a kernel broadcom wifi driver tweak
I installed the 'PD-0.42.5-extended-20101205' using the .deb package (because it works perfectly on my Dell mini9 (which I use as a test sandbox))
I tested all my Linux audio apps on Ubuntu 10.10 (my config is in the sig at the end of this email) and every one checked out OK except for baudline which wasn't working with ALSA
the reason it wasn't working with ALSA - as related to me by the developer - was that 'Ubuntu 10.10 removed kernel ALSA OSS emulation' but baudline does work with Jack'
so I'm having a lot of problems getting Pd set up the way it was on my 9.04 system which was working fine up until my upgrade
I have a few questions related to problems that are causing much confusion:
no audio via ALSA
click save, apply - open and start the Test Audio patch - there is no audio - the console doesn't say anything about trying to find or connect to an audio device - re-open the Audio settings panel and the settings are all switched back to my 'nanokontrol'
the ~/.pdextended file says: noaudioin: True noaudioout: True
I try the same procedure with Jack and there is audio and ALSA midi also seems to work fine
is there a problem with ALSA and Pd now due to the removal of ALSA OSS emulation?
Libraries are not loading
though they are listed in the .pdextended file
paths are stored but I was using Pd extended in my studio and all my paths (I think) were in the '.pdsettings' file which supposedly was used only by the pd plain vanilla version
doing it by hand?
can someone point me to something that can bring me up to date on changes since Sept? a change log or something?
any/all help is very appreciated!!
oh yeah, happy new year!
