Zynaddsubfx doesn't display gui with Jack

arinlares · 2011-02-09 23:22:38

I'm running the latest Jack currently in the repo (0.118.0-4), and Zynaddsubfx from the AUR (2.4.1). I can't really seem to track down my issue beyond saying it launches fine and allows me to use my laptop's keyboard to play when lauched without Jack, with the following output:

ERROR: Cannot make a jack client (possible reasons: JACK server is not running or jackd is launched by root and zynaddsubfx by another user.).

Using OSS instead.

I've got the output from running it with Jack, which seems normal, and below this is the output to the message area in qjackctl, after running jackd with "jackd -d alsa -r 44100" to use the ALSA backend, and have a samplerate or 44100, and Zynaddsubfx doesn't its gui.

Output in qjackctl

15:10:16.062 JACK connection change.
15:10:16.066 ALSA connection change.

Running zynaddsubfx with the "-U" parameter doesn't change anything, either, it doesn't do anything but provide the output I've posted above. The output stays exactly the same. I've heard people have gotten it working, so I hope somebody could either help me out, or else point me in the right direction to fix it.

EDIT: In the qjactl "Connections" dialog, Zynaddsubfx presents a connection, but it's no good as there's no useful interface being presented to use Zynaddsubfx.

have you solved that problem?

Matty265 · 2011-08-30 23:23:08

I have a similar problem:

[matty@arch ~]$ zynaddsubfx

The connection shows up in qjackctl, but there is no gui, and i get a xrun. Does anybody have the same problem, and/or an answer?

Have you tried older versions e.g. fltk 1.1.9-3 and zynaddsubfx 2.4.1-1 or zynaddsubfx-git from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50594 ?

Matty265 · 2011-08-30 23:35:14

I tried zynaddsubfx-git, it added 2 menu entries, one for jack and one for alsa. the alsa one, well, i need it with jack and the jack one has the same result.
can you tell me how to get an older version of fltk and zynaddsubfx? do i have to compile them manually?

I used ARM https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … ckages#ARM
http://arm.konnichi.com/search/
It stores old Arch packages, they are already compiled, ready to install.

Matty265 · 2011-08-30 23:45:39

Hmm no, did not work for me. I tried it like you did in the bugreport: "fltk 1.1.9-3" and "zynaddsubfx 2.4.1-1" but still the same error

karol · 2011-09-02 22:06:04

The bug report got closed, you may want to reopen it or open another one, because none of the suggested solutions worked for you.

Matty265 · 2011-09-03 01:49:59

I've requested to reopen the bug since it does not work for me

schivmeister · 2011-09-06 15:59:23

GUI works here with latest updates of everything. Please try and reproduce your error(s) with 'jackd -dalsa' only.

Matty265 · 2011-09-06 16:58:35

Nope, still no gui

schivmeister · 2011-09-06 19:26:27

Remove ~/.fltk and then try (latest zynaddsubfx and fltk from repos and nothing from AUR).

Matty265 · 2011-09-06 19:49:29

No this didnt work either

schivmeister · 2011-09-06 20:36:30

OK, more troubleshooting:

1. pacman -R -scn zynaddsubfx -dd fltk fftw jack lash

2. Create a new full user account for your system via your preferred method

3. Log out and log in with the new account via whatever login manager you have

4. pacman -S zynaddsubfx

5. Run jackd -dalsa 2>&1 | tee /tmp/jack.log in a terminal window

6. Verify that another jack-aware app (eg. mplayer) works

7. Run zynaddsubfx 2>&1 | tee /tmp/zynaddsubfx.log in another/separate terminal window

See what happens, and show us the contents of the 2 logfiles created in /tmp.

Still no gui. Could it be that qjackctl causes the problem? I dont know how to handle connections in jack via terminal, otherwise i would have tested it?

Here are the log files:

Not sure shat you mean about jack and the terminal, but have you tried https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25735#comment82457

Running 'jackd -r -d alsa' before 'zynaddsubfx' fixes things - the GUI appears.
