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 * * * Hit:1 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic InRelease Get:2 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-updates InRelease [88.7 kB] Get:3 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-backports InRelease [74.6 kB] Get:4 [http://ppa.launchpad.net/atareao/atareao/ubuntu](http://ppa.launchpad.net/atareao/atareao/ubuntu) bionic InRelease [15.4 kB] Get:5 [http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-security InRelease [88.7 kB] Hit:6 [http://ppa.launchpad.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu](http://ppa.launchpad.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu) bionic InRelease Hit:7 [http://ppa.launchpad.net/fingerprint/fingerprint-gui/ubuntu](http://ppa.launchpad.net/fingerprint/fingerprint-gui/ubuntu) bionic InRelease Get:8 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages [914 kB] Hit:9 [http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu](http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu) bionic InRelease Get:10 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-updates/main i386 Packages [668 kB] Get:11 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-updates/main amd64 DEP-11 Metadata [307 kB] Hit:12 [http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntubudgie/backports/ubuntu](http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntubudgie/backports/ubuntu) bionic InRelease Get:13 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-updates/universe i386 Packages [1,013 kB] Get:14 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-updates/universe amd64 Packages [1,065 kB] Get:15 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-updates/universe amd64 DEP-11 Metadata [273 kB] Get:16 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-updates/multiverse amd64 DEP-11 Metadata [2,468 B] Get:17 [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-backports/universe amd64 DEP-11 Metadata [7,972 B] Get:18 [http://ppa.launchpad.net/atareao/atareao/ubuntu](http://ppa.launchpad.net/atareao/atareao/ubuntu) bionic/main i386 Packages [8,480 B] Get:19 [http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-security/main amd64 DEP-11 Metadata [38.7 kB] Get:20 [http://ppa.launchpad.net/atareao/atareao/ubuntu](http://ppa.launchpad.net/atareao/atareao/ubuntu) bionic/main amd64 Packages [8,484 B] Get:21 [http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-security/universe amd64 DEP-11 Metadata [42.1 kB] Get:22 [http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu](http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) bionic-security/multiverse amd64 DEP-11 Metadata [2,464 B] Get:23 [http://ppa.launchpad.net/atareao/atareao/ubuntu](http://ppa.launchpad.net/atareao/atareao/ubuntu) bionic/main Translation-en [4,748 B] Fetched 4,624 kB in 2s (2,553 kB/s) Reading package lists...

try this ```auto . ~/.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: ```auto curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh ``` ---

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 ---

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 ---

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](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: > [@Kate](#): > > Is there a way to get SuperCollider to do the `pactl load-module blah` thing automatically when it starts ? 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: ```haskell ### 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 ```haskell 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: ```haskell pulseaudio -k ``` ...the k is for --kill, but the daemon should be automatically restarted Hope that's of use to you/someone - [Previous page](https://uzu.lurk.org/t/how-are-you-doing-with-the-install-process/363.md?page=2)
