| aloiece | hello I've compiled ffado myself and when trying to run the ffado-mixer in the terminal I get: | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| aloiece | File "/usr/bin/ffado-mixer", line 31, in <module> | 00:49 |
| aloiece | from ffado.ffadowindow import * | 00:49 |
| aloiece | also I'm running the 16.04 beta | 00:58 |
| Peppernrino | bleeding edge | 00:59 |
| aloiece | well all I'm trying to do is get my two echo audiofire12 cards to work together | 01:00 |
| cfhowlett | bloddy edge | 01:00 |
| cfhowlett | bloody | 01:00 |
| cfhowlett | you're trying to get high performance out of an unreleased beta version ... | 01:00 |
| aloiece | weeeell | 01:01 |
| aloiece | Often these things just work with tiny tweaks | 01:01 |
| aloiece | but this time I don't know any further | 01:02 |
| aloiece | (plus I never had the cards running together on any previous install either...)) | 01:02 |
| cfhowlett | #opensourcemusicians perhaps ... | 01:03 |
| aloiece | ok cheers | 01:07 |
| zequence | aloiece: You didn't supply the whole error. It's a python error of some kind | 01:16 |
| zequence | Would be good to paste it somewhere, if it's more than one or two lines, and the post the link here | 01:17 |
| zequence | The two lines you are part of the story which tells where the error occured | 01:18 |
| zequence | Sorry.. | 01:18 |
| zequence | The two lines you pasted are part of the story which tells where the error occured | 01:18 |
| zequence | But, it's not the whole story | 01:19 |
| cfhowlett | I like the first way better, Z :) | 01:19 |
| zequence | :) | 01:19 |
| aloiece | ok will come back to you asap | 01:24 |
| zequence | aloiece: If you like, you can use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 01:29 |
| zequence | aloiece: Why did you build ffado from source, btw? | 01:33 |
| zequence | I've never tried daisy chaining on Linux myself, and not sure how one can even find out how many devices work that way | 01:34 |
| zequence | If one works, than ffado is working at least | 01:34 |
| zequence | If you know for a fact that a very recent change in the source has improved something for you, it makes sense to build it from source | 01:34 |
| zequence | I would imagine that the ffado version in 16.04 is quite recent though | 01:35 |
| zequence | I can only help with the python error, pretty much. Anything else, I would suggest contacting ffado people. There's an irc channel #ffado. They also have their mail lists and forums, and such | 01:37 |
| zequence | Could be there are some ardour folks who have some experience in daisy chaining as well. So, you could try #ardour | 01:37 |
| zequence | #opensourcemusicians is already mentioned | 01:37 |
| aloiece | ~$ ffado-mixer | 02:12 |
| aloiece | Traceback (most recent call last): | 02:12 |
| aloiece | File "/usr/bin/ffado-mixer", line 31, in <module> | 02:12 |
| aloiece | from ffado.ffadowindow import * | 02:12 |
| aloiece | ImportError: No module named ffado.ffadowindow | 02:12 |
| aloiece | is all i get from the terminal | 02:12 |
| zequence | aloiece: ffado is missing a python module. It comes with the ffado source, but for some reason it is not in a path which python can find when running ffado-mixer | 02:13 |
| aloiece | hm | 02:14 |
| zequence | So, either installed into the wrong place, or not at all, or it the wrong python running the program | 02:14 |
| zequence | aloiece: Again, why are you building from source? | 02:14 |
| aloiece | ah right | 02:14 |
| aloiece | uhm on the ffado page there is a thread regarding the devices I'm using and with the svn I'm trying to compile it's supposed to be working | 02:15 |
| aloiece | that's why | 02:15 |
| aloiece | =) | 02:15 |
| aloiece | otherwise I'd have to downgrade the firmware | 02:15 |
| zequence | which version of ffado is suppose to work? | 02:15 |
| aloiece | which I dare not do ;) | 02:15 |
| aloiece | this one subversion.ffado.org/ffado/trunk/libffado | 02:18 |
| zequence | That's not showing me the version though. Just the url for their source | 02:19 |
| zequence | Could you post the link the ffado page instead? | 02:19 |
| aloiece | yea sorry | 02:20 |
| aloiece | http://www.ffado.org/?q=comment/12757#comment-12757 | 02:20 |
| aloiece | i know it says 14.04 | 02:20 |
| aloiece | and I had it almost working in 15.10 | 02:21 |
| zequence | aloiece: That was posted 05/29/2014, which means whatever version of ffado existed in svn by that time | 02:21 |
| zequence | It has since long been in Ubuntu repos | 02:21 |
| aloiece | but too much updating at some point screws up some things so i went ahead and got the beta I'm running now and It's been stabel in studio and live | 02:21 |
| aloiece | hm | 02:22 |
| zequence | I don't think building ffado from source will help in this case | 02:22 |
| aloiece | hm i see | 02:23 |
| aloiece | I did have the impression I got a newer version when I compiled it under 15.109 | 02:23 |
| aloiece | 10 | 02:23 |
| aloiece | Then I was finaly able to change the sample rate and clock source in ffado | 02:23 |
| zequence | I stil don't think compiling it from source will help. Just install the packages from the repos normally | 02:25 |
| zequence | ffado in xenial is at 2.2.1-3 | 02:25 |
| zequence | Hmm, looking at the versions now I see that very few new ones have been released for the past year | 02:26 |
| aloiece | well that, and the stock version has somehow never worked | 02:27 |
| aloiece | version I'm compiling is 2.2.9999 | 02:28 |
| zequence | The version in xenial is a new upload compared to vivid (15.10), so something has changed | 02:28 |
| aloiece | mhm! | 02:29 |
| zequence | I'm getting the source now | 02:30 |
| aloiece | thanks man! | 02:30 |
| aloiece | glad you're looking into my stuff! really appreaciate it! | 02:31 |
| zequence | aloiece: Latest change concerning audiofire devices seems to be 2014-05-06 | 02:33 |
| zequence | aloiece: YOu can check yourself with: svn log --search AudioFire | 02:34 |
| zequence | You can try other search terms as well | 02:34 |
| zequence | ..if you want | 02:34 |
| aloiece | well in the official realeases but apparentlyc the svn worked out for the guy | 02:34 |
| aloiece | in the post | 02:35 |
| zequence | Yes, back in 2014 | 02:35 |
| zequence | That's my point | 02:35 |
| zequence | Now I'm checking the Debian source, which is where Ubuntu gets it's ffado | 02:36 |
| aloiece | yeah i see your point. as i said, i thought with a few little tweaks wht worked on 14.04 should work on 16.04 | 02:36 |
| aloiece | i know that sounds a little off but a lot fo things have worked in both 12.04 and 14.04 | 02:37 |
| aloiece | and the post is from 2014 -05-29 | 02:37 |
| aloiece | the update you mention is a little earlier | 02:37 |
| aloiece | a bit older | 02:37 |
| zequence | I'm still a little puzzled, but there is a chance some changes are missing still | 02:41 |
| zequence | Debian has not been updating its ffado much, relying on stable releases from ffado, basically, which don't happen so often now | 02:42 |
| aloiece | hm yeah | 02:42 |
| zequence | So, at this point, it would be best if you did a bug report in Ubuntu | 02:42 |
| aloiece | can i ask you a question? | 02:42 |
| zequence | Sure | 02:42 |
| aloiece | do you mind guiding me through a proper bug report? I've never done one but I would love to get more into it | 02:43 |
| zequence | It's not that difficult, actually, these days. You do need a launchpad account, so get one if haven't already at http://launchpad.net | 02:43 |
| zequence | Then, in your terminal, while booted into the system in question, do: ubuntu-bug libffado | 02:44 |
| zequence | libffado is the name of the debian/ubuntu package | 02:44 |
| zequence | or, the source package, actually | 02:44 |
| aloiece | have got one | 02:44 |
| aloiece | account i mean | 02:44 |
| zequence | Since you don't know the exact commit that fixes this, someone will need to find one - if there is one | 02:44 |
| zequence | But, you could help by searching the svn log for something that seems relevant | 02:44 |
| zequence | To see the whole log, this command should help: svn log | less | 02:45 |
| zequence | less is a text viewer. Use up and down arrows to scroll, or page up/down. Use 'q' to quit | 02:45 |
| zequence | If a fix is found, someone can add it to the source | 02:46 |
| zequence | To the Ubuntu source, that is | 02:46 |
| aloiece | ok cool | 02:46 |
| aloiece | when using the command i get | 02:46 |
| aloiece | help:: command not found | 02:46 |
| aloiece | (END) | 02:46 |
| aloiece | [1]+ Stopped help: svn log | less | 02:46 |
| aloiece | ] | 02:46 |
| zequence | the command is this... | 02:47 |
| zequence | svn log | less | 02:47 |
| aloiece | ui | 02:47 |
| aloiece | sry | 02:47 |
| aloiece | little sleepy already | 02:47 |
| zequence | It's ok. I know how it is | 02:47 |
| aloiece | yikes 4 o'clock | 02:48 |
| zequence | aloiece: A tip.. | 02:48 |
| zequence | Seems like AudioFire is a fireworks device | 02:48 |
| aloiece | yes? | 02:48 |
| zequence | So, I would scan the log for anything to do with "fireworks" | 02:48 |
| aloiece | thanks for that! | 02:49 |
| aloiece | hm, now i get | 02:50 |
| zequence | aloiece: It would of course help if you were able to build the svn from source and found it to work. | 02:50 |
| aloiece | svn: E155007: '/home/aloiece/libffado' is not a working copy | 02:50 |
| zequence | You need to be in the svn repo folder to use that command | 02:51 |
| aloiece | which is the same as my working directory for compiling (scons and scons install that is) | 02:52 |
| zequence | It's getting late here as well, so I will have to quit here. If you want to get help with building ffado, try #ffado, #opensourcemusicians, #lad, #ardour, and #jack also | 02:52 |
| aloiece | right? | 02:52 |
| zequence | Yeah | 02:52 |
| zequence | But was that the svn repo, really? Why is it called libffado? | 02:52 |
| zequence | Anyway, as said. Time to snooze | 02:52 |
| aloiece | cheers! man thanks for your help! good night! | 02:53 |
| aloiece | ok now i went into the svn directory and got it | 02:59 |
| aloiece | thanks again | 02:59 |
