My updated Tumbleweed has some music issues

When I assign a rosegarden track to ZASF-dssi that dialog does not show the 1200 or so instruments dropdown list at all

jack_capture was updated on the weekend after failing to build, the fact that it was no longer built against the latest versions of some system libraries might have caused some issues.
I don't think I have ever seen a Leap or TW last more than 2-3 updates without music 'usability' falling to pieces :-(
Yeah unfortunately this is why I forked out and bought an AKAI MPC when my job is Linux distro integration for music to be a break from that unfortunately its at the state where it needs to be done on separate hardware (Or something that can run Ableton natively).
I'm, inches/hours from just buying myself a MAC :-)
Having said that i've spent a bit of time getting VCV Rack working better in Linux over the last couple of weeks.
My needs are modest, really, but as you know music requires 'chains' of apps because there isn't one (especially not in 'do only one thing' linux) that does them all. I just fixed in rosegarden a bug that's been irritating the living puck out of me for over a year, FINALLY I did what I think is a real nice digital rendition of Bells Of Rhymney (to become my backing track for guitar) and I wanted to save video or at least audio to that end as well as to go about and brag to anyone who will listen. For this I need Jack or qjackctl, rosegarden *with ZASF-dssi*, and either rosegarden internal audio capture, jack_capture or SimpleScreenRecorder to work. Well, in the seven distros that I have installed not one gets all of these working. Either jack_capture don't work, or qjackctl doesn't detect something, or rosegarden has no ZASF-dssi, or it does but has no instrument droplist, or rosegarden internal audio captures only emptyness, or SimpleScreenRecorder cuts out after seconds.
I've had decent success recording atleast stereo audio into Open Broadcast Studio (OBS) although I was recording into Video. I think Ardour and Audacity might both do just audio recording better then simple screen recorder, although ardour is certainly more complex. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
