LinuxMusicians

Hi all, admins o/

I'm the lead developer of Zrythm (https://www.zrythm.org) and I was wondering if I could get a subforum in here for Zrythm related discussions.

Please reply, PM me or reach me on IRC (alextee on freenode, or #zrythm) if we could work something out!

Thanks, and nice to meet you all : )

Welcome onboard!

I sure hope that someone will contact you soon!

Welcome!

I read on your webpage about how to install for systems based on Apt that your software is meant for Debian Buster. However, Buster isn't released at this moment (see Debian releases page). You sure it will work on current and older systems?

I use a very old version of Mint and I get tis error message in Synaptic: And if I try to install ZRythm it won't because of unmet dependencies (i.e. my distro contains versions of libs that are too old): Could you tell which are the minimal distro requirements for Debian based systems like Debian, Ubuntu and Mint?

@Linuxmusician01

Buster is already released as "testing". It's just not been released as "stable" yet.

Zrythm won't work on any debian-based systems older than buster. Even GTK versions are old there so it's too much effort to make it work and I decided to work on more important things like features and stability, since buster stable release will be near the first Zrythm release in a couple of months.

I'd suggest upgrading to GNU/Linux Mint 19 since you are already on mint if you still want to use mint. It will work there. It also works on Ubuntu 18.10 (I think 18.04 too). Since it works there I think it's a waste of time to work on making Zrythm available in old distros (for now at least since it's under development), unless someone else is willing to do that (I can help).

:welcome:

Ooh nice. Another Linux DAW for me to try, with LV2 support too Never heard of this one before. I just installed it via the apt instructions and everything seemed to go ok. But when I open the program, I can't maximise the window or get the preferences menu to open (or any other menu options working for that matter). There's been no messages about dependencies. Any ideas why that is? I'm using Mint 19.1 btw.

Sorry to bug you with a support question in your opening thread here, but I'm pretty interested in trying this one out! Thanks.

Please remember that it's still unreleased so a lot of things are not working yet. But those you mentioned should be kinda working at the moment. You should install the deb file mentioned in the README manually. That's always the latest version and getting updated multiple times a day (since zrythm is unreleased I'm not updating the repos too often). If all goes well I can release a first version in a couple of months.

If you are on a newish distro like GNU/Linux mint 19.1 it won't complain about dependencies, it can pull them automatically. You only get errors on dependencies if apt can't find them (repo versions too old or some libraries don't exist - libdazzle doesn't exist on older debian distros)

Are you planning on making your DAW available in the KXStudio repositories in the future? That's what a lot of Linuxers use for their music software.

yeah I already talked to falktx about this, he said he can host it there.

i'll also investigate more about AppImages and flatpaks. I was under the impression they won't work with jack

Ah I see. My bad. Well I've got the repos setup now so I'll just check it after the next update there. Until then.. Cheers

I have tried compiling on Kubuntu 20.04, but there has been no way. I tried also the Trial Installer, but don't work. I don't know what to do next. Until this app appears in the official Ubuntu repos (if it happens some day), it's a no go for me.
