Geekos DAW (libre music-making repository for openSUSE)

[Gps]

From a LMMS perspective it's simple.

LMMS comes with an older versions of the calf plugins.

Its not as easy as just adding the newer versions, because they are in a different format and LMMS tries to be backwards compatible.

So, that if you load a track made with an older version, it will sound the same in a newer version of LMMS.

If only I could hire a few coders, fix anything Carla related in LMMS. I think Carla in LMMS has the potential of fixing a lot of shortcomings of LMMS.
(Plugin related)

Carla supports about all. Last time I tried though, I could not automate any knobs of Amsynth in LMMS.
Falktx is on the LMMS dev team though, so all we need is patience. (and stay optimistic)

[Basslint]

is it possible then to convert all these nice lmms plugins into, let's say lv2 plugins?

Nope, they have to be rewritten from scratch. For some of them there are such projects (in some cases, with extended features):

Hi @Basslint

I hope I am referring to the same repo discussed here...
Is anyone here able to contact the maintainer of the OBS Geekos DAW?

Can you pass along the following info?

By chance I clicked on Geekos DAW link in someone's signature line,
and curiously navigated to the list of software, to muse.

I discovered this at the opensuse live build log/multimedia:proaudio/muse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64:
"undefined reference to symbol 'serd_node_new_file_uri'"

So I looked in MusE source. We never told our cmake to link with libserd !

Strange, Geekos DAW's muse.spec file + muse-4.1.0.tar.gz built just fine here on Tumbleweed using rpmbuild !
I found the very end of their build log in the linking section contained -lsord but not -lserd.
And here, my build contained both -lsord and -lserd.
No one has ever reported such a thing.

So... Here in MusE github master ChangeLog...

• *Fixed (maybe): LV2: Missing link with libserd.
  Only one serd call was added in 2015 by danvd. A later neglect by me perhaps?

Hopefully fixed in our next release?
Or if they have time, maybe compress our current master to something like muse-4.1.0-gdtest.tar.gz,
adjust the muse.spec file version number accordingly, and try a wee test to see if it solved?

Happy to help any further.
Thanks!
T.

Hi! Thank you so much.
Build should be fixed now.

Maybe my git changes can be extracted as a patch, and simply applied
as an RPM packaging patch, as is sometimes seen in packages.
Here would be a good use case for such a patch - benign linker fix and not too 'code-altering'.
Until our next release comes out.

Let me know if any trouble.

Unfortunately this commit is far away from 4.1.0, but I adopted the flags, so it builds fine now: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view ... h?expand=1 https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... audio/muse

Nice! Good stuff.

I found the very end of their build log in the linking section contained -lsord but not -lserd.
And here, my build contained both -lsord and -lserd.

I think there is only one thing that can do that: PackageConfig .pc files
Here is my lilv-0.pc

Code: Select all

Requires: lv2 serd-0 sord-0 sratom-0
Libs: -L${libdir} -llilv-0  -ldl

I was expecting to see -lserd and -lsord but I think maybe the 'Requires' section is pulling them in with the other .pc files.
I must then suspect that your lilv .pc file might not contain the same thing as mine.
Or maybe your serd .pc file does not contain -lserd?

I just did a fresh install of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Then went to this page: https://geekosdaw.tuxfamily.org/en/

But when I click install a txt file, opens

Am I doing something wrong?

[Largos]

Did the same for me. Don't think it used to do that. Save the ymp file to your computer and open from there.

I set up TW recently and found the same. Ended up adding the GeekOS repo manually somehow but don't ask me to remember how.

Hello,

actually, I think the repo is best added manually if you are using Tumbleweed, since the URL always stays the same. It's very easy:
1) Open YaST Software Repositories
2) Add a new repository called multimedia:proaudio with URL https://download.opensuse.org/repositor ... umbleweed/ and a low priority (es. 75)
3) Confirm

Very easy, and from that moment you have access to the whole repo

After a bit of a hiatus from thinking about music-making, I figured I would try and give it another go. Came across this thread and this seems awesome... Also excited to try it with Tumbleweed because I've been wanting to mess around with some of the newer wayland window managers, and I can't really do that on my main install which runs debian stable. Excited to give it a try.

I had a problem with GeekosDaw, after a fresh install of Tumbleweed.

Gdaw update, did not work.

With the help of the openSUSE forum we found the problem.

The solution was to do

Code: Select all

sudo zypper nr 4 multimedia:proaudio

(nr4 is at my pc the proaudio repository)

It said multimedia_proaudio before.

How did you add this repo?
