I've also got many sounds that are not being found. From log -
no synth or sample named 'lo' could be found.
module 'sound': instrument not found: nil
Should I delete it all and start over? It was suggested that I build everything from source including the plugins. Is that still good advice?
thanks
tom
Here is the stdout output. I got an error in the first attempt that the /tmp directory was still there so I deleted /tmp and ran it again. The error referenced in the output is over 40K and didn't seem appropriate to paste here. I can mail that to you if needed.
thanks
tom

i get an error when i try to update tidal with cabal update and cabal install tidal
-bash: cabal: command not found
try this
. ~/.ghcup/env
cabal update
cabal install tidal --lib
If it still doesn't work, then ghc didn't install. You can install it with this:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh
yeah, it worked with . ~/.ghcup/env
thanks!
Looks like none of my sounds are loading.
Getting errors like this when I select a line of code to play like this
d1 $ sound "hi lo [hi hi] lo"
For the above line, in the SC window I get
no synth or sample named 'hi' could be found.
module 'sound': instrument not found: nil
no synth or sample named 'lo' could be found.
module 'sound': instrument not found: nil
I looked in the boot log in SC, and both of those sounds are listed as loading.
I'll poke around a bit, but this is strange.
UPDATE : removed the jack loading lines in init...that didn't help...now I have no sound
Also changed the default boot in SC to new session, in case my changing of the init file
would cause the sound to not work
This time when I quit jack, supercollider stopped automatically
rebooted SC. Still have no sound, though I'm not sure my output sound source is working. Is there a way to make SC play a sound regardless of samples loaded to make sure the output is configured
properly.
I believe I may just reinstall everything onto a new SSD after dinner.
UPDATE
I sent the SC boot log
tom k
Can you share your sc boot log?
This is really strange, I can't see anything wrong with the sc boot, apart from the lack of sc3-plugins. 
I pulled the HD, put in an SSD and reinstalled the OS. Music only from now on! No mixing work and pleasure on my computers! The install instructions for linux suggested that I build SC and tidal from scratch.
The docs suggest I DON'T do a "sudo apt-get supercollider sc3-plugins". Still good advice?
thanks,
tom k
Alex,
I'm back up and running after a OS reinstall on a new drive.
Thanks for your help.
tom k
I'm finally done with the install!
I had issues running Tidal from Emacs because "BootTidal.hs" wasn't pulled in when running C-c C-s. The message was Prelude> IO error: "/home/user/.cabal/store/ghc-8.0.2/package.db/BootTidal.hs" does not exist . The issue was in tidal.el ... which I patched locally to fix it after a day of poking.
Same. After searching through the bugs on github, found what looks like a reasonable workaround and submitted a PR, https://github.com/tidalcycles/Tidal/pull/652
(Everything else was by the book, and it seems like Jack/Pulse coexistence on Ubuntu is okay these days.)
A side note, I know you've got this sorted for your purposes, but I thought I'd just post a bit of a note about how the pieces fit together, so you're not dependent on supercollider for your JACK/pulseaudio bridging - ie in case you want to use JACK for other purposes:
Under Ubuntu (and I expect under debian too), the pulseaudio-module-jack package comes with a pulse module called module-jackdbus-detect.so
This module is called in the /etc/pulse/default.pa file around line 58:
### Automatically connect sink and source if JACK server is present
.ifexists module-jackdbus-detect.so
.nofail
load-module module-jackdbus-detect channels=2
.fail
.endif
It's purpose is to automate the loading of module-jack-sink and module-jack-source when it detects a JACK service running. I find it works most of the time, but I will occasionally find I need to load the modules manually after a long time and many suspend cycles.
In a terminal, you can run
pactl load-module module-jack-sink
pactl load-module module-jack-source
Even less frequently, the pulseaudio daemon running in my user session needs a restart altogether, you can achieve this by running in a terminal:
pulseaudio -k
...the k is for --kill, but the daemon should be automatically restarted
Hope that's of use to you/someone -
