Hey, anyone using rosegarden out there?
since version 1.7.0, I have issues with plugins that loads external files like Fluidsynth-dssi. I click the EDITOR button and I get this error:
dssi:/usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi.so:FluidSynth-DSSI)
fsd-gui starting (pid 3181)...
/usr/libexec/FluidSynth-DSSI_gtk: No such file or directory.
I sent a bug report to rosegarden people and they think it's distro related. so does the guys in the proaudio thread.
He suggested:
Check out the pkgbuild and after the build completes, check $srcdir for that file, or make sure that the library goes to /usr/lib in $pkgdir.
How do I do that?

Hi Funkmuscle,
I do not know the answer to your question but I was wondering if you found a solution as I just got the rt kernel working and I would like to install rosegarden.

no. I'm using it sparingly now. I've got rosegarden-1.7.1 going but it looks like the issue is with dssi than rosegarden itself as the same occur with qtractor. Any plugin that uses dssi as in the synths or vst, if a file like a soundfont needs to be loaded, it fails.
You try it Frabato and lemme know if you can get fluidsynth-dssi to load soundfonts.

DSSI_PATH=/usr/lib/dssi jack-dssi-host fluidsynth-dssi.so
jack-dssi-host: OSC URL is:
osc.udp://musica:13742/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi/FluidSynth-DSSI/chan00
host: Ready
fsd-gui starting (pid 3973)...
no gui running that command but the app launches. I get a gui under rosegarden ot qtractor but can't load soundfonts.

Rosegarden seems to have problems on other OS's also, however it might be a good idea to pursue this possible solution:
/usr/libexec/FluidSynth-DSSI_gtk: No such file or directory
Check out the pkgbuild and after the build completes, check $srcdir for that file, or make sure that the library goes to /usr/lib in $pkgdir.
So the question remains, How do we do that?
Has anyone done this or does anyone know how to do this?
It may take a while but if there are no responses I can read the docs and try to figure it out.
I'm fairly new to archlinux and compiling from source etc...
but I'll see what I can find out.
Offline
Yeah. No one has replied to this since I asked about it. Everything just kinda died in this thread. Even the proaudio svn seems to be stalled for a while. I noticed an update a day ago on a firewire lib but that's it. The rt-kernel stopped at 2.6.25...
Guess the guys that know how to program are busy with their lives. Can't blame them... I just wish I knew what they know.
The funny this is I never had this issue with rosegarden-1.6.1 or earlier.
Offline
The issue with rosegarden 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 is also a subject on the 64studio mailing list. Getting help would be great but if we don't, let's see if we can figure it out. Have you tried downgrading to 1.6.1?
Offline
no, I haven't tried to downgrade but I contacted the rosegarden people but haven't heard back since.
Offline
Funkmuscle,
How did you install 1.7.1 ? I see 1.7.0 in AUR, did you install from source or alter a pkgbuild?
Offline
I use yaourt -Sb to build it. what that command does is lets you edit the rosegarden pkgbuild from the repo and build the package. so I just edited 1.7.0 to 1.7.1 and built it.
I also built from source both with the same results.
Offline
Okay, I'll try it this evening. I'm not sure where yaourt stores the packages it builds but there should be a .pkg.tar.gz file somewhere. You can look at it with Xarchiver or whatever you use and see where it's putting /usr/libexec/FluidSynth-DSSI_gtk. If it's the wrong place, I think that you can edit it before doing the actual install. If you get a chance to check it let me know, if not I'll have a chance to try in about four hours.
Offline
yaourt I think has a config file that you edit or fakeroot or something. It's been awhile since I set it up but check the webite for info
Offline
Hi Funkmuscle,
I'm talking about the place where it actually builds the .pkg.tar.gz file. It could be in /temp or somewhere else.
We'll see.
Offline
oh sorry, yeah it builds it under /tmp
Offline
Okay, well I don't really know much about this stuff but it seems to me that the problem could be this:
/usr/libexec/FluidSynth-DSSI_gtk: No such file or directory
I used "yaourt -Sb fluidsynth-dssi" and then hit "v" to view package contents and here they are:
fluidsynth-dssi /usr/
fluidsynth-dssi /usr/bin/
fluidsynth-dssi /usr/bin/fluidsynth-dssi
fluidsynth-dssi /usr/lib/
fluidsynth-dssi /usr/lib/dssi/
fluidsynth-dssi /usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi.so
fluidsynth-dssi /usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi/
fluidsynth-dssi /usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi/FluidSynth-DSSI_gtk
As you can see, FluidSynth-DSSI_gtk does not go to /usr/libexec.
Of course, I don't know how to fix it, it could be something as easy as creating a symlink or simply copying the file to /usr/libexec.
Maybe this information could help the rosegarden or fluidsynth-dssi people to help us out.
Hopefully this is a step in the right direction.
I'm sleepy now, more tomorrow.
Offline
yep, I found all that out too but let's see, the same happens with Qtractor so that's why I thing it dssi and not rosegarden or qtractor.
Offline
Hi Funkmuscle,
Here is where things go on Sidux:
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/dssi
/usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi.so
/usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi.la
/usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi
/usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi/FluidSynth-DSSI_gtk
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/fluidsynth-dssi
/usr/share/doc/fluidsynth-dssi/copyright
/usr/share/doc/fluidsynth-dssi/README.gz
/usr/share/doc/fluidsynth-dssi/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/fluidsynth-dssi/TODO
/usr/share/doc/fluidsynth-dssi/changelog.gz
Which works just fine, I guess we have to look at fluidsynth-dssi.
Make sense? Let me know. Actually, I don't know if it makes sense or not. Either fluidsynth-dssi is putting stuff in the wrong place or rosegarden is looking in the wrong place.
God Bless Linux,
Arthur

I think is dssi because I tried a vst plugin that uses impulse response files and I can load them in either qtractor or rosegarden. as a standalone and using dssi's vsthost, I can launch the vst and load the impulse response files.
so either rosegarden and qtractor are looking in the wrong place or something funky is going on with dssi.
We'll continue tomorrow Arthur I guess.
Night Bro.

Good Morning Funkmuscle (or whatever it is where you are),
Looks like we need to look elsewhere for the problem. I just tested fluidsynth on rosegarden and everything works fine including the editor.
I don't know if it would matter but are you running 32 or 64 bit Archlinux? I will load some other dssi things today and see if it all works.
Offline
I am using 32 bit. Yeahit's mid day now here in Toronto, Canada. so you got it working bro?
gimme the info on what you did? I can't get it to use the editor. I get the fluidsynth to load but the editor doesn't work.
maybe post your PKGBUILD...
Thanx Arthur...

Hi Harv,
I lived in St. Catharines for about five years. I installed rosegarden 1.7.1 and fluidsynth-dssi 0.9.1 using yaourt -Bs, that's it.
Do you have vst stuff installed?
Offline
All I did to the pkgbuild was to change the version number.
Offline
I don't have the proaudio repo enabled.
Offline
yeah man, I got it all. I will reinstall fluidsynth-dssi again. St. Catharines, nice. you live here in Canada still?
for the proaudio, I think you got the svn stuff right? If yeah, thats all you need for now.
Thanx Arthur
Harv.
Release 1.7.2 now available!
