Install problems

born_89 · 8 April 2020 20:08

I just installed in Ubuntu 19.10 the SuperCollider and TidalCycles by the sh scripts and it showed me the error:

Couldn't set realtime scheduling priority 1: Operation not permitted

Which i solved by adding my user to the audio group like you say in the instructions and it was gone, but when i want to start the SuperDirt it show me the next error and doesn't show me the message "SuperDirt: listening to Tidal on port 57120"

I don't know how to solve, do you have some idea?, if yes please tell me.

Hey there! Trying things out. On my Ubuntu machine, I installed SC and tidal seamlessly. In parallel, I ran into a problem on my mac, on which SC was installed for some time. On SC, after booting, when starting SuperDirt, the error patterns are about extensions/plugins, “file too short” and “no suitable image found, did find this”. On Tidal, it takes a while to load. Maybe some files are located in the wrong place? I tried uninstalling/reinstalling SC, Haskell, Atom and all but still get the same error messages each time around. After the error messages the system seems to work normally.

Here are the logs and error messages, if anyone ran into the same issue please let me know if you have an idea what needs to be fixed… Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

Hi @born_89, this is probably a problem with configuration of the ‘jack’ audio layer.
Try installing and running qjackctl, and configuring and then starting jack with that. The first thing to check is that jack is using the right device. You might also want to check the samplerate.

yaxu · 8 April 2020 22:34

Hi @gnozo.

To get rid of those warnings, remove /Users/gnozognozo/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/__MACOSX/. This is a spurious folder that was included in sc3plugins in error (MACOSX folder in release zip · Issue #279 · supercollider/sc3-plugins · GitHub).

exception in GraphDef_Recv: exceeded number of interconnect buffers. is probably important, see Linux install script fails - #9 by yaxu for a solution to that (despite the title, the advice applies to macs as well as linux).

gnozo · 9 April 2020 01:06

Hi @yaxu ! Thank you so much, this solved the problem.
I just have one remaining warning message concerning some of the synthdefs :

WARNING: SynthDef superfm too big for sending. Retrying via synthdef file

Is this problematic or risky in any way?

Thanks again for the tips, starting to experiment with things, quite excited n__n

yaxu · 9 April 2020 07:13

No that one is fine!

born_89 · 9 April 2020 10:39

You were right i must to start jack with the correct interface it come with the default which is none (in my case), so in the setup window i changed it for the generic and work it, i have the samplerate in 44100 is it ok?

I share some images:

Just another little thing, i got this message when I boot the TidalCycles plug-in in Atom anyway it work and gave me sound, is any problem on that?.

No configured ghc path

Ghci command: ghci Ghc-pkg command: ghc-pkg

Load BootTidal.hs from /home/alejo/.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.6.5/tidal-1.4.8/BootTidal.hs

Thank you for your help now i feel ready for start.

yaxu · 9 April 2020 10:52

That’s fine. It’s a bit noisy when you start up in atom, but that’s because we had a lot of problems getting the configuration right, so it basically prints out a lot of debugging info to help with that…

yaxu · 9 April 2020 10:53

And 44100 samplerate is fine too… That’s CD quality, and is what the samples are generally recorded at.

gnozo · 15 April 2020 00:10

hi… i had to reinstall on mac after some seemingly crucial files went missing after a library recompile while loading sample packs. On both my machines i got the following warning :

WARNING: Dirt could not load some synths from default-synths.scd, because sc3plugins are necessary and missing.

On osx(sierra) I managed getting rid of it by downloading the source code of the file in question from github and recompiling. This workaround didn’t work on ubuntu . Is it … crucial? it doesn’t prevent the interaction (btw atom lagginess is not an issue in my linux setup)

Ok, gotta run to mini notation class now!

Hi @yaxu,

when installing TidalCycles, I ran into the same problem as @born_89. I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and have installed Tidal via the .sh scripts.

When trying to start SuperDirt, I get the same error message as in the original post:

*** Welcome to SuperCollider 3.11.2. *** For help press         Ctrl-D.

The problem is that @born_89's solution doesn't work for me. Do you have an idea what the problem might be? I would be grateful for any help whatsoever.

yaxu · 2 August 2021 22:33

What did you try?

ikobe · 3 August 2021 07:55

Thank you for your reply. Among other things, I've tried changing the interface from default to hw:Generic in qjackctl and it didn't help.

yaxu · 3 August 2021 22:23

Hmm well it's some problem with jack and your audio device, but it's difficult to know what it might be. Perhaps if you do a web search for the name of your audio device and jack audio you'll find someone else with the same problem.

Gratitude
just got this rocking again on Manjaro
After getting this error after an upgrade to Supercollider 3.12.0
starting Jack first (even with Cadence) got it working
Thanks!

m_a_k0_s · 7 August 2022 15:27

Hi @yaxu
I don’t know what’s going on here. Can you help me out?

yaxu · 7 August 2022 17:29

It looks like it had problems installing the tidalcycles plugin for atom. You could try installing this plugin manually, from within atom.

m_a_k0_s · 13 August 2022 14:20

@yaxu Okay, is there any tutorial for that?

yaxu · 13 August 2022 21:03

Yes on the website Atom | Tidal Cycles

m_a_k0_s · 15 August 2022 08:07

@yaxu just downloaded. Thank you!
