Re: Patchance (JACK Patchbay) first pre-release

implacable logic ! Patchance refuses to show ALSA ports when Patchage works, Patchance uses Python, and Patchage doesn't, so, the problem is python. Mmmmh, no. Of course, Python is not perfect, it has its own problems, it is slow of course, and some minor versions changes result (rarely) in crashes ...

Re: Patchance (JACK Patchbay) first pre-release

> If I may ask: What is the issue with pyalsa being too old ? Why cant patchance not work with an older pyalsa version ? Maybe this requirement of patchance is removable ? TBH, I don't remember why, but I am pretty sure there is something needed. If you remove (or comment) this code line , you could...

In the source code root directory, personally I just have to run

Code: Select all

python3 setup.py build
sudo python3 setup.py install

That compiled, but patchance now just boots up flashes interface and crashes.

Mmmmh, no logs?

Re: Patchance (JACK Patchbay) first pre-release

In the source code root directory, personally I just have to run python3 setup.py build sudo python3 setup.py install and all is ok. If it does not work for you, maybe you can add Librazik repositories which provide an up to date pyalsa for Bullseye. Or simply install the debian package for bookworm...

Re: Patchance (JACK Patchbay) first pre-release

Here is the latest version, for my distro which you see is installed.

Yes, and I can see it is too old. You have to install it from another place.
Maybe:
python3 -m pip install pyalsa
could work.

else, the source code of the lib is here: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-python.

Re: Patchance (JACK Patchbay) first pre-release

I used to be able to, and there was no midi either. I then reinstalled patchance several times to make sure it is done right and as a result now it is not even an option. Both cases did not have midi and in the first case I checked the box and still no midi. Do you understand now ? Ok, it is really...

Re: Patchance (JACK Patchbay) first pre-release

@retnev

I don't understand how you can say you've checked the "Provide ALSA MIDI ports" checkbox, it is disabled. Read the tooltip (with the mouse cursor hover the checkbox), your python3-pyalsa is probably too old. You have to find the way to use a newer version.

Re: Patchance (JACK Patchbay) first pre-release

Ohh, that's strange. Can you see these ports with QJackCtl ? In patchance, do you see other ALSA midi ports? (For example, run qtractor and see if qtractor has ALSA ports in the patchbay).

mmmh, have you checked the checkbox "Provide ALSA MIDI Ports" in options dialog (right click in the background -> Canvas Options) ?

It would be interesting to know what happens if you run patchance, and not patchage.

Re: Patchance (JACK Patchbay) first pre-release

retnev I think you need to run sudo make uninstall before sudo make install . Python must have the worst compilation process. No dependency checks and seven versions to sunday to install a package ... all without dependency checks. If the snake disappears software may become usable again. you've go...
