[00:49] hello I've compiled ffado myself and when trying to run the ffado-mixer in the terminal I get: [00:49] File "/usr/bin/ffado-mixer", line 31, in [00:49] from ffado.ffadowindow import * [00:58] also I'm running the 16.04 beta [00:59] bleeding edge [01:00] well all I'm trying to do is get my two echo audiofire12 cards to work together [01:00] bloddy edge [01:00] bloody [01:00] you're trying to get high performance out of an unreleased beta version ... [01:01] weeeell [01:01] Often these things just work with tiny tweaks [01:02] but this time I don't know any further [01:02] (plus I never had the cards running together on any previous install either...)) [01:03] #opensourcemusicians perhaps ... [01:07] ok cheers [01:16] aloiece: You didn't supply the whole error. It's a python error of some kind [01:17] Would be good to paste it somewhere, if it's more than one or two lines, and the post the link here [01:18] The two lines you are part of the story which tells where the error occured [01:18] Sorry.. [01:18] The two lines you pasted are part of the story which tells where the error occured [01:19] But, it's not the whole story [01:19] I like the first way better, Z :) [01:19] :) [01:24] ok will come back to you asap [01:29] aloiece: If you like, you can use http://paste.ubuntu.com [01:33] aloiece: Why did you build ffado from source, btw? [01:34] 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] If one works, than ffado is working at least [01:34] 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 [01:35] I would imagine that the ffado version in 16.04 is quite recent though [01:37] 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] Could be there are some ardour folks who have some experience in daisy chaining as well. So, you could try #ardour [01:37] #opensourcemusicians is already mentioned [02:12] ~$ ffado-mixer [02:12] Traceback (most recent call last): [02:12] File "/usr/bin/ffado-mixer", line 31, in [02:12] from ffado.ffadowindow import * [02:12] ImportError: No module named ffado.ffadowindow [02:12] is all i get from the terminal [02:13] 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 [02:14] hm [02:14] So, either installed into the wrong place, or not at all, or it the wrong python running the program [02:14] aloiece: Again, why are you building from source? [02:14] ah right [02:15] 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] that's why [02:15] =) [02:15] otherwise I'd have to downgrade the firmware [02:15] which version of ffado is suppose to work? [02:15] which I dare not do ;) [02:18] this one subversion.ffado.org/ffado/trunk/libffado [02:19] That's not showing me the version though. Just the url for their source [02:19] Could you post the link the ffado page instead? [02:20] yea sorry [02:20] http://www.ffado.org/?q=comment/12757#comment-12757 [02:20] i know it says 14.04 [02:21] and I had it almost working in 15.10 [02:21] aloiece: That was posted 05/29/2014, which means whatever version of ffado existed in svn by that time [02:21] It has since long been in Ubuntu repos [02:21] 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 [02:22] hm [02:22] I don't think building ffado from source will help in this case [02:23] hm i see [02:23] I did have the impression I got a newer version when I compiled it under 15.109 [02:23] 10 [02:23] Then I was finaly able to change the sample rate and clock source in ffado [02:25] I stil don't think compiling it from source will help. Just install the packages from the repos normally [02:25] ffado in xenial is at 2.2.1-3 [02:26] Hmm, looking at the versions now I see that very few new ones have been released for the past year [02:27] well that, and the stock version has somehow never worked [02:28] version I'm compiling is 2.2.9999 [02:28] The version in xenial is a new upload compared to vivid (15.10), so something has changed [02:29] mhm! [02:30] I'm getting the source now [02:30] thanks man! [02:31] glad you're looking into my stuff! really appreaciate it! [02:33] aloiece: Latest change concerning audiofire devices seems to be 2014-05-06 [02:34] aloiece: YOu can check yourself with: svn log --search AudioFire [02:34] You can try other search terms as well [02:34] ..if you want [02:34] well in the official realeases but apparentlyc the svn worked out for the guy [02:35] in the post [02:35] Yes, back in 2014 [02:35] That's my point [02:36] Now I'm checking the Debian source, which is where Ubuntu gets it's ffado [02:36] 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 [02:37] i know that sounds a little off but a lot fo things have worked in both 12.04 and 14.04 [02:37] and the post is from 2014 -05-29 [02:37] the update you mention is a little earlier [02:37] a bit older [02:41] I'm still a little puzzled, but there is a chance some changes are missing still [02:42] Debian has not been updating its ffado much, relying on stable releases from ffado, basically, which don't happen so often now [02:42] hm yeah [02:42] So, at this point, it would be best if you did a bug report in Ubuntu [02:42] can i ask you a question? [02:42] Sure [02:43] 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] 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 [02:44] Then, in your terminal, while booted into the system in question, do: ubuntu-bug libffado [02:44] libffado is the name of the debian/ubuntu package [02:44] or, the source package, actually [02:44] have got one [02:44] account i mean [02:44] Since you don't know the exact commit that fixes this, someone will need to find one - if there is one [02:44] But, you could help by searching the svn log for something that seems relevant [02:45] To see the whole log, this command should help: svn log | less [02:45] less is a text viewer. Use up and down arrows to scroll, or page up/down. Use 'q' to quit [02:46] If a fix is found, someone can add it to the source [02:46] To the Ubuntu source, that is [02:46] ok cool [02:46] when using the command i get [02:46] help:: command not found [02:46] (END) [02:46] [1]+ Stopped help: svn log | less [02:46] ] [02:47] the command is this... [02:47] svn log | less [02:47] ui [02:47] sry [02:47] little sleepy already [02:47] It's ok. I know how it is [02:48] yikes 4 o'clock [02:48] aloiece: A tip.. [02:48] Seems like AudioFire is a fireworks device [02:48] yes? [02:48] So, I would scan the log for anything to do with "fireworks" [02:49] thanks for that! [02:50] hm, now i get [02:50] aloiece: It would of course help if you were able to build the svn from source and found it to work. [02:50] svn: E155007: '/home/aloiece/libffado' is not a working copy [02:51] You need to be in the svn repo folder to use that command [02:52] which is the same as my working directory for compiling (scons and scons install that is) [02:52] 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] right? [02:52] Yeah [02:52] But was that the svn repo, really? Why is it called libffado? [02:52] Anyway, as said. Time to snooze [02:53] cheers! man thanks for your help! good night! [02:59] ok now i went into the svn directory and got it [02:59] thanks again [07:47] Ubuntu Designs Wanted: http://mhall119.com/2016/03/help-make-gnome-software-beautiful/ [16:41] hello everybody [16:42] somebody knows how install the linuxsampler ? [16:42] some tutorials... [18:13] http://mhall119.com/2016/03/help-make-gnome-software-beautiful/ [18:13] ooops [18:13] i meant to post that in another channel to help. lol
