gtkdialog problems

Flash, I see that you're using Racy, which I never have.

I'm using Lucid Puppy 5.2.8. When I removed gtkdialog4 so that pmusic would work, Puppy setup didn't. So I put gtkdialog4 back where it was.

I don't have the symbolic link for gtkdialog like you do. What if you just delete that symbolic link or rename it, and put the gtkdialog from Zigbert in that directory?

Hopefully he or other expert can help. I guess there's a thread for Racy, where people might know how to handle this?

Rename gtkdialog4 to keep a backup.
pMusic 2.9.3 is looking for gtkdialog4, so the new gtkdialog should be named gtkdialog4. Next release of pMusic will be using gtkdialog which is not Puppy specific.

A cool oneliner.
pMusic 3 supports plugins, and I think screenlets belongs there. Pwidgets has one, but a standalone would be much better - what about gt2desklet

Pmusic 3 beta is doing what I ask of it :)

One issue, which isn't a bug, as any application which has the setting has the same issue, is that if you choose your sound card in the preferences (other than default) the equalizer does not work.

For those that don't know, Pequalizer is a "plugin" for Pmusic (optional dependency). It is actually a system wide equalizer. It depends though on your settings in whatever player you are using. The settings must be either "default" or "alsa".

I'll put this in writing as part of the Pmusic FAQ, it will basically have a brief "howto" for Pequalizer.

One bug. My sound card needs PCM set in the preferences but only Master is shown so the volume control does nothing for me. If you need more info let me know.

Hmmm... pMusic detects playback channels by the command

Code: Select all

amixer controls | grep 'Playback Volume'
What output do you get from only

Code: Select all

amixer controls

Thank you

Pmusic 2.5.4 gives this error when I try to start it from the command line in Precise Puppy. For what it's worth, the sound works fine. In fact, I had to turn it down to watch a YouTube video about the end of the world. :lol:

The splash error is to do with pequalizer, which shouldn't be installed in Precise as it wont have the alsaequal or CAPS libraries necessary for the equalizer to function. If I get the motivation I'll compile them for precise to fix that. EDIT: is that a typo.. "2.5.4" ? Also, still looks like you aren't using latest gtkdialog-0.8.2.

Sigmund

here is my output:

Code: Select all

# amixer controls
numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Con Mask'
numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Pro Mask'
numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Default'
numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Switch'
numid=5,iface=PCM,name='ELD',device=3
# amixer controls | grep 'Playback Volume'
#
#EDIT: I just discovered that running amixer controls with no options will only probe the first card, which in my case is the HDMI on my video card. My real first card, the onboard nvidia is disabled in BIOS for simplification, else my USB card would be card 2. As it is now it's card 1 and the HDMI is card 0.

My onboard sound is physically broken so use an USB device.

- Later..

Sigmund, I have some useful info for you. I must run MultipleSoundCardWizard to get sound. It then changes my default card in a newly created file /etc/asound.conf. In this case, amixer must be run with the "-c 1" option to the "controls" command.

This is what is found in /etc/asound.conf

Code: Select all

defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 0
So some routine like this might be needed:

Code: Select all

ASOUNDOPTION=""
if [ -f /etc/asound.conf ];then #see if MultipleSoundCardWizard was used
  CARD=$(head -1 /etc/asound.conf)
  DEFAULTCARD=${CARD##* }
  ASOUNDOPTION="-c $DEFAULTCARD"
fi
VOLUMECONTROL=$(amixer $ASOUNDOPTION controls | grep 'Playback Volume')
My output from above:

Code: Select all

# ASOUNDOPTION=""
# if [ -f /etc/asound.conf ];then #see if MultipleSoundCardWizard was used
>   CARD=$(head -1 /etc/asound.conf)
>   DEFAULTCARD=${CARD##* }
>   ASOUNDOPTION="-c $DEFAULTCARD"
> fi
# VOLUMECONTROL=$(amixer $ASOUNDOPTION controls | grep 'Playback Volume')
# echo $VOLUMECONTROL
numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='PCM Playback Volume'

Not a problem. I'm running Precise Puppy from a multisession DVD. I just won't save this session when I shut down. :)

It won't unless it's installed through PPM, it is a limitation of petget. also, being a script based program, it won't show the libs are missing, that's why the splash screen with the error.

Sigmund,

Maybe a simple dependency check and exit should exist in pequalizer.

@line 25 add

Code: Select all

# dep test
if [ ! -f /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_equal.so ]
  then echo "missing dependencies" && exit
fi

===========================
For Precise Puppy Users
===========================

In an effort to get Pmusic 3 beta and Pequaliser more widely tested I have compiled alsaequal-0.6 in Precise and also gtkdialog-0.8.2 without the vte dependency, gtkdialog-0.8.2 is to be considered "testing" (even though it is the latest stable version) as Barry may or may not upgrade to gtkdialog-0.8.2 and may or may not include the vte dependency (for virtual terminal functions of gtkdialog). There is one more dependency needed, caps, which is a LADSPA plugin

Instructions
  • open PPM and search in the search box for caps_0.4. It will find caps_0.4.2-1. Install it. (see screenshot).
  • download and install the 2 attachments to this post, gtkdialog-0.8.2-i486-NO_VTE-up.pet and alsaequal-0.6-i486-up.pet. You will get a box asking you if you want to link to gtkdialog4. If you don't know click Cancel.
  • Install pmusic-2.9.4 and pequalizer-0.8.0 (these may be updated at a later date) from zigbert's post here
  • delete /root/.pmusic (hidden directory, click the eye icon in rox-filer to expose hidden directories)
  • Start up Pmusic from the menu or by clicking a music file (mp3, ogg, aac, wav and some other formats) and test away. Pequalizer should be already running in the background but you should open it from the Pmusic File menu

Good catch. All calls for amixer in func_mixer is using the -c switch, but in func_config it does not.
This is the code I included in func_config to detect speakers for ACTIVE card. Please test in pMusic-2.9.5

Code: Select all

#To find available speakers, we must first detect soundcard number
if [ "$SOUND_DEVICE" = "auto" ]; then
	if [ -f /etc/asound.conf ]; then #see if MultipleSoundCardWizard was used
		TMP=$(head -1 /etc/asound.conf)
		CARD_NR=${TMP##* } 
	else
		TMP="`aplay -l | grep -m 1 -F card`" #grab the first card
		CARD_NR="`echo $TMP | cut -d':' -f1 | cut -d' ' -f2`"
	fi
else
	CARD_NR="`echo $SOUND_DEVICE | cut -d':' -f1 | cut -d' ' -f2`"
fi
export SPEAKERS=`amixer -c $CARD_NR controls | grep 'Playback Volume' | cut -d "'" -f 2 | sed -e "s/ Playback Volume//g" | tr -s ' ' '_' | awk '{print "<item>"$1"</item>"}' | tr -s '_' ' '`
