Jack Audio not working in Fossapup (Solved)

[taersh]

Hi.

Jack Audio is not working in FossaPup.

Code: Select all

root# qtractor
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.
qtractor: error while loading shared libraries: libjack.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
root#

Downloading from repository and installing again doesn't solve this. Same error message.

What's wrong with FossaPup?

Downloading from repository

What repository?
Exactly what are you doing to install Jack Audio?
Details.

Of course, when I'm running FossaPup or any else Puppy I'm using its Package Manager to download and install programs.
Doing it that way also when creating .sfs modules, if I don't want programs to be installed.
So, I downloaded JACK from FossaPup repository.
Libjack was already pre-installed in FossaPup.
Downloading again and installing doesn't solve the problem.

What do you think?
I'm downloading from Lucid repository?

hi @taersh ,

i just installed qtractor & qjackctl from the PPM. then in qjackctl i had to select my soundcard in the input device & output device section and jack started. qtractor then opened with no errors.

your initial error would suggest you are using a 32bit qtractor or have inadvertently installed some 32bit libs (possibly contained in an old .pet?)

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I didn't install anything except Qjackctl 0.5.5 and Qtractor 0.9.16 with VST3 enabled which I had both compiled in my bionic based ArtStudio64 using real time kernel from Iowt3ch's studio 13.37. After Qtractor returned error messages I installed JACK from FossaPup repository. Installation was made after creation of a save folder.

I will try it again on a plain FossaPup and return the results.

So now you are saying you did not get them from the Fossapup64 9.5 PPM repositories?

Software compiled on another operating system, even a different version of the same OS, can and does sometimes not work on a different OS version and defiantly on a different OS.

In general all software needs to be compiled for the specific OS you are going to use it on.

Different Puppy versions are also affected by this.
Some stuff compiled under different Puppy versions, is compatible on other Puppy versions, but some is not.
Really depends on what it is and what it requires to run.

I know, Fossapup64 can access Ubuntu focal Fossa repositories and download stuff compiled for Ubuntu Focal Fossa.
There is about a 80% chance the stuff will run in Fossapup64 9.5, because both OS's use a lot of the same core Linux files and support programs.
For the other 20%, Fossapup64 9.5 will probably need dependency files and programs added to support the software.
Welcome to Linux software!
Really, any computer software

JACK was the problem. JACK won't start, so Qtractor won't start since JACK doesn't start.

Not my packages compiled by myself. The QjackCtl I compiled started very well, though it won't connect to the audio device since JACK doesn't start.
I don't think Qtractor 0.9.16 with VST3 enabled is available in FossaPup repositories. Usually those repositories are a few versions behind the current version available. That's my experience also on e.g. Rosegarden etc.

Hi.

Seems something was going wrong on my first attempt, that I don't know.
Qtractor 0.9.16 with VST3 enabled now running fine.
Btw.: the version from repository is 0.9.12, far behind the current stable version.

Though, the QjackCtl package from repository freezes the system. It's equal as it was already in Bionic64.
After installing it downloaded a QjackCtl fix .pet package which doesn't have any effect on that issue.

After installing my compiled QjackCtl 0.5.5 everything works fine.
This version QjackCtl 0.5.5 was compiled with --disable-xunique.
