How to use with Jack?

[nicolalandro]

I correctly compile it on my opensuse Tumbleweed, but I'm seeing Alsa or PlusAudio I cannot chouse Jack, what can I do to use Ensembles with Jack?

[SubhadeepJasu]

If you have compiled it from source and you have jackd installed, then it should show up. Can you run it from the terminal and tell me what shows up. There's most likely a bug.

[nicolalandro]

Yes I compiled It from source, and I have jackd, I use Jack abituali with LMMS and Reaper.

If I run by command line I see the following

suil error: Failed to open module /usr/lib64/suil-0/libsuil_x11.so (/usr/lib64/suil-0/libsuil_x11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Usage: jackdmp [ --no-realtime OR -r ]
               [ --realtime OR -R [ --realtime-priority OR -P priority ] ]
      (the two previous arguments are mutually exclusive. The default is --realtime)

               [ --clocksource OR -c [ h(pet) | s(ystem) ]
               [ --autoconnect OR -a <modechar>]
                 where <modechar> is one of:
                   ' ' - Don't restrict self connect requests (default)
                   'E' - Fail self connect requests to external ports only
                   'e' - Ignore self connect requests to external ports only
                   'A' - Fail all self connect requests
                   'a' - Ignore all self connect requests
               [ --replace-registry ]

         -d master-backend-name [ ... master-backend args ... ]
       jackdmp -d master-backend-name --help
             to display options for each master backend

I just solved the sutil error by sudo zypper in suil-plugin-x11 but jack is not detected.

[SubhadeepJasu]

I'll have to figure out a better way to detect jack.

[nicolalandro]

Ok, If you add there also the wip branch I can beta test It if you need.

Thank you!

[SubhadeepJasu]

Sure. I am gonna do it now.

[SubhadeepJasu]

@nicolalandro Can you tell me what the output of jackdmp -V is?

[nicolalandro]

I have jackd but not jackdmp, maybe is that the problem? I'm searching how to install it

[SubhadeepJasu]

Your output mentions jackdmp :confused:, which mean may be you have jackdmp installed. Currently the app only detects jackd. But if jackdmp works for you, we can check if the app can work with that too.

[nicolalandro]

but if I run jackdmp -V I reached "command not found", I'm wandering about that on the web for OpenSuse But I do not find nothing about

[SubhadeepJasu]

@nicolalandro Can you pull from the style_debugging branch and see if it works now?

[nicolalandro]

as before, but now after closing I also have a GTK error:

(com.github.subhadeepjasu.ensembles:16688): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 16:04:06.548: gtk_main_quit: assertion 'main_loops != NULL' failed

Jack is not detected. I do not find any package that have jackdmp, how can I install it?

[SubhadeepJasu]

Final approach. Remove detection of Jack and enable it by default for native builds.

(Ignore that gtk warning, it's all going to change when I move to gtk4 anyway)

[SubhadeepJasu]

Check now. Jack should be shown by default now.

Enable jack, exit app. Start Jack server, and then launch app again.

[nicolalandro]

It is normal that I do not see it on Jack? I will try to get a more deep test tomorrow, Thank you! I will let you Know!

[SubhadeepJasu]

Its normal if you just changed it. Usually you will have to restart the app while jack server is running. The changes are applied when the app starts up next time.

[SubhadeepJasu]

It connects on mine :confused:

[nicolalandro]

For now it do not works with jack, but maybe it will works with jack-example-tools? Maybe quickly it will arrive on opensuse and I will test it.

[luzpaz]

Any update?

[SubhadeepJasu]

Jack works with a native build in my case. I am working on a beta version of Ensembles (basically restarted). I'll soon make test releases available. This jack issue is a head scratcher. I'll add some more debug options to see what's going on.
