AFAICT, it's a packaging issue with that Ubuntu version. Try to build Pd from source instead.

Hi, thanks for the hint ...

no other solution though ? some library that is just mising and could be installed / updated to make this work ?

or: does anybody know of other pitch/beat tracker methods / externals ?

thanks again for any help ...

regards

Perhaps this bug is not present in another version of Pd packaged for Ubuntu? On Debian I am using

yes.

in Pd-0.50 there was an underlinking bug reported as [975], which was fixed for Pd-0.51.

While i am the Debian packaging team for Pd, i don't have access to the Ubuntu repositories, so i cannot fix the problem for Ubuntu-20.04. Ubuntu-20.10 already has a fixed version.

in any case, you probably should file a bug-report against the Ubuntu package: $ reportbug puredata

(otoh, i've never seen anyone working on a Pd bug in Ubuntu, so it might be better to first find someone with the actual powers)

ok, we are almost there. however, *your* help is required to make the final steps.

a fixed version of puredata-extra (which provides the failing external) is going to make it into ubuntu/focal.

because focal has been released a while ago, we need some feedback that the fixed package is indeed working, before it will become available for all focal-users.

if any of you are using Ubuntu/focal, i would ask you (very nicely) to check whether the proposed fix works for you (and does not introduce any new bugs).

how?

• install the "puredata" package and check whether you can actually

reproduce the problem (not being able to load any (or all) of [bonk~], [choice], [fiddle~] or [sigmund~])

• enable the "focal-proposed" repository please follow the official instructions on how to do that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
• install the "puredata-extra" package from the "focal-proposed"

repository. on the cmdline this would be as simple as: apt update && apt install puredata-extra/focal-proposed using synaptic or other GUI-tools is probably even simpler.

• check that you can now load (and use) all of [bonk~], [choice],

[fiddle~] or [sigmund~]

• finally (and please do not miss that): please report your success (or

failure) at https://launchpad.net/bugs/1939293

Ubuntu really wants user-feedback in order to let packages into an LTS-release. so if you are running Ubuntu/focal - even if you do not use the Ubuntu packages for Pd¹ - please help you fellow users by confirming that the fix works.

¹ if you normally do not use the Ubuntu packages, please make sure that

• when performing these tests - you *do* use the official packages.

Was just about to confirm that the proposed package fixes the bug, but it seems it's already been done by someone else.

Thanks IOhannes!

no other solution though ?

You could upgrade to the newest Ubuntu version and check if the Pd package has been fixed. Don't know if that would be quicker/easier than compiling Pd from source :-)
