Before upgrading it worked with this path.

Wait, I'm not understanding, can we clarify some points?  
You need custom file?  
You configured the custom file path?  
What's the path you configured?  
In you console do you see just this message?  
`t> Listening for controls on 127.0.0.1:6010`  
Because is a positive message 🙂

(I'm feeling like we're clogging this thread, maybe it's better to continue with private messages)

Hi! I upgraded tidal and SuperDirt. Tidal I updated through my linux distribution package (Archlinux -\>\> [https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86\_64/haskell-tidal/](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/haskell-tidal/)) and SuperDirt through the Quarks.gui. Everything boots, and no error are displayed on both sides, buuut I'm not getting any sound out, even trying with simple stuff like

```haskell
d1 $ s "bd*4"

```

I've also try to use de "debug" synth with a simple pattern like the former, but I can't see anything being prompted on the supercollider control, but tidal doesn't display the error that usually prints when SuperDirt is not running (smth like "I can't find the SuperDirt target...." I'll check with a packets monitor if the messages are at least getting out of tidal, but that seems to be the case...

Mh, if I'm not running SuperDirt tidal doesn't complain with the usual

```haskell
is SuperDirt running??

```

Hi @Tomas_Ciccola,  
That's nice that arch has a discribution package already!  
Can you confirm `tidal_version` in your editor (e.g. atom) says '1.7', and Quarks.gui says you have SuperDirt 1.7.2 installed?  
Also try the default BootTidal.hs if you have a custom one.  
Otherwise not sure what to suggest.. Maybe there's a problem with the arch package in which case you could try installing via cabal.

</div>

Yeah, for me is a blessing having an official package, much easier than using cabal, for me...  
Well, what I tried was updating SuperDirt trough git (changing to the develop branch) instead of the Quarks.gui and then I got sound. For some reason the Quarks.gui doesn't show a version but checking with git status I'm on the origin/develop branch.  
Now I got sound working, but the buses are not working. If add smth like

```haskell
# lpfbus 1 "[800 1200]"

```

I get no sound and no errors ☹

Maybe you are on an old state of the develop branch. Try `git pull` then `git checkout v1.7.2`

Hi,

In SC i get that error whenever i try to run

> Quarks.checkForUpdates({Quarks.install("SuperDirt", "v1.7.2"); thisProcess.recompile()})

:

**Installing SuperDirt**  
**WARNING: SuperDirt has uncommited changes, cannot checkout v1.7.2**

Hey @martinmestres

I think this means you have altered files in your SuperDirt that the installer doesn't want to overwrite.

This is most easily fixed on the command line. From the `SuperDirt` folder (you can find the location in the Language \> Quarks interface) in a terminal window you can run `git status` to see which files changed and `git diff` to see the changes. You can also run `git stash` to revert your changes (they are backed up/stashed away somewhere). While you're there you can do the upgrade from the commandline too.. With `git pull` then `git checkout v1.7.2`.

Do you get any errors when you start tidal? What happens when you run `tidal_version`?

Hm searching that up it seems that it's a bug in ghc 8.8.3 on windows. Upgrading ghc e.g. via choco should hopefully sort it
