Small collection of Linux Audio packages

Post by asbak »

Here's a small collection of recently (as of Dec 2021) built packages for Ubuntu Focal / Mint 20.

I'm not a packaging expert and these packages don't install any dependencies (jack, Qt5, sound libraries etc etc) which may be required. You will need to find & add those yourself.

They are provided strictly "use at your own risk" and zero responsibility for problems it may or may not cause is entertained.

For packages such as Linux Sampler, ensure that all old Linux Sampler packages are removed first before installing the ones provided here.
To run qsampler it will need to know where its libraries are, eg LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/libgig:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or alternatively add symlink/s to the libraries it cannot find on startup.

Some clues about missing required packages may be obtained by running ldd <binary>, then locate & install missing packages, add any missing symlinks and it may work thereafter.

Blocking selected updates from ubuntu & KXStudio

Note that the Linux & KXStudio repos contain antiquated versions of some of these releases so you may want to prevent those from accidentally updating & installing. One way to do this is to block them in /etc/apt/preferences, obviously you need to block or unblock what's applicable for your situation and keep track of and manage your own environment.
