Package: sitplus Version: 1.0.3-4.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
it seems that puredata cannot be started by sitplus. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? after starting sitplus, navigate the menu: Configuration -> Pure Data... this gives me the following: - a pop-up dialog telling me that: > Configuration of puredata_config failed. See console for details - the main application window prints: > ERROR. pd wrapper. Pure Data process died unexpectedly > ERROR. puredata_config. PdWrapper: Pure Data process died unexpectedly while > waiting for incoming connection. - at the terminal i get: > Error in startup script: unknown option: -guiport > while executing > "opt_parser::get_options $argv" > (procedure "parse_args" line 6) > invoked from within > "parse_args $argc $argv" > (procedure "main" line 6) > invoked from within > "main $::argc $::argv" > (file "/usr/lib/puredata/tcl/pd-gui.tcl" line 749) with my puredata maintainer hat on, i can tell the following: puredata consists of two applications: - the core (/usr/bin/puredata), implemented in C - and the GUI (/usr/bin/pd-gui), implemented in tcl/tk usually each of these components starts the other automatically. but they can be started separately, if need be. for this to work, the core has a flag "-guiport" so it can be told to connect to an already running pd-gui. e.g. $ pd -guiport 7000 the GUI, does not have this flag; instead you specify directly how to contact the core. e.g.: $ pd-gui 7001 it seems that 'sitplus' implements a basic pd-gui replacement, and tries to launch Pd (core) with the "-guiport" option. However, the actual error messages hints, that it is really launching the pd-gui, passing it the '-guiport' argument. and pd-gui chokes on that argument, as it doesn't know about it. a quick glance at the code did not reveal anything obvious. (apart from trying to launch a number of different pd-flavours manually, which i think should be disabled; Debian uses update-alternatives to provide the 'pd' binary, and the system admin should choose which flavour should be the default - rather than the application). (though i think that upstream should not use a dummy implementation of pd-gui at all; most likely they use it to dynamically allocate voices, but there are cleaner ways to do that). gfsadr IOhannes -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages sitplus depends on: ii libbluetooth3 5.23-2+b1 ii libboost-filesystem1.55.0 1.55.0+dfsg-3 ii libboost-program-options1.55.0 1.55.0+dfsg-3 ii libboost-system1.55.0 1.55.0+dfsg-3 ii libboost-thread1.55.0 1.55.0+dfsg-3 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libconfig9 1.4.9-2 ii libgcc1 1:5.1.1-9 ii libopencv-core2.4 2.4.9.1+dfsg-1.1 ii libopencv-highgui2.4 2.4.9.1+dfsg-1.1 ii libpocofoundation9 1.3.6p1-5 ii libpocoxml9 1.3.6p1-5 ii libportmidi0 1:184-2.2 ii libsdl-gfx1.2-5 2.0.25-4 ii libsdl-image1.2 1.2.12-5+b5 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-11 ii libstdc++6 5.1.1-9 ii libv4l-0 1.6.3-1 ii libwxbase3.0-0 3.0.2-1+b1 ii libwxgtk3.0-0 3.0.2-1+b1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 ii pd-cyclone 0.1~alpha55-7 ii pd-freeverb 1.2-3 ii pd-iemnet 0.1-3 ii pd-libdir 1.9-3 ii pd-list-abs 0.1-1 ii puredata 0.46.6-2 ii sitplus-data 1.0.3-4.1 sitplus recommends no packages. sitplus suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
