however, afaict, if pulseaudio is taking over the soundcard device, jackd won't have a chance to start and qtractor or anyother jack application for that matter will complain ie. won't work either.

all that to say that there's nothing blocking qtractor (or any other jack application) to be included in any distro, opensuse included (which is my distro of choice btw)--until now, and ever since released from its stealth-mode project status, qtractor has been provided by the great packman repository, with just minutes delay after my own public releases which i do also provide my own opensuse rpms (opensuse 11.1 based but fully featured ntl:)

cheers

hello Rui

I create wiki, which could help with pulseaudio issues with qtractor on suse see http://en.opensuse.org/Qtractor, I know that current issues with jackd are not caused by qtractor I only wan't to know if we could move qtractor from project home:rncbc to project contrib, see http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib I know, it's already in packman, but not every user use it , and I think all greats app's should be in factory or contrib and not spread all over the different repositories If you are unsure, I could move qtractor to contrib and also I coud be maintainer of this package in contrib

Well, if you can be the maintainer, why not in FACTORY from the beginning?

thanks,

Takashi

ok, no problem, I could add qtractor to Factory and I could maintain it, but could be added to Factory package which doesn't work in some cases ? (I mean when you after default installation start app which use pulseaudio + start qtractor one of them didn't work)

There are tons of packages that require special setups :)

One could argue whether the desktop file should be provided as is, though. If any, we could add a pre-run check whether jack is running or so. But, IMO, as long as it causes a critical error silently but just pops up an error dialog or so, this is no big problem...

i have a suggestion: what if the qtractor.desktop file issues command as `pasuspender qtractor` ?

that should apply also, by all means, to qjackctl.desktop or any other pure jack application already in factory (eg. jamin, jack-rack, jackEQ, freqtweak)

cheers

looks ok for me, I also added qtractor to Factory and I will update desktop file as you sugested thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org
