whysynth doesn't work
by Florin Andrei 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

I got whysynth-dssi-20060122-7.src.rpm from here: http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/devel/ I rebuilt it on FC6 without problems. The thing is, the GUI doesn't show up. The program appears to be working, I see the outputs being automatically routed in qjackctl, but there's no GUI anywhere! ############################################### $ jack-dssi-host whysynth.so jack-dssi-host: Warning: DSSI path not set jack-dssi-host: Defaulting to "/usr/local/lib/dssi:/usr/lib/dssi:/home/florin/.dssi" jack-dssi-host: OSC URL is: osc.udp://rivendell.home.local:15040/dssi/whysynth/WhySynth/chan00 host: Ready WhySynth_gtk starting (pid 4305)... ############################################### -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

jack and /etc/security/limits.conf
by Anthony Green 08 Jan '07

One of the annoying things about running qjackctl on a fresh Fedora install is that you have to remember to edit /etc/security/limits.conf as per /usr/share/doc/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.102.20/README.Fedora or else it doesn't work at all. I'm wondering if there's something we can do to make this easier. One idea is to wrap qjackctl in a script that essentially parses limits.conf to see that everything is set up properly for $USER. If not, it pops up a dialog box explaining the problem and offering to edit it for $USER. If the user agrees, it runs a consolehelper app to fix up limits.conf and continues on with qjackctl. I just can't imagine how a new user gets anything running without stumbling upon that README.Fedora file or searching for help on the web. Good idea? Bad idea? Suggestions? AG
