regarding issue#1: One thing I did not get, you alsa is not working
with pd and baudline or overall?
no I tested all my apps and they all work (except for baudline) with
ALSA and Jack
ALSA is working fine
but removing the ALSA OSS emu layer from the kernel broke how baudline
(and now Pd) worked in Linux when not using Jack
and I agree a clean install is the only way to go -- I never do an
upgrade in Ubuntu - I learned my lesson the hard way back in 2006 and
have never done an upgrade again :)
best regards,
pedro
p.s: I'm using 10.10 as well (although I never upgrade, but typically
install new version on top) and alsa is working with pd fine. Please
check if alsa is really working ok, alsaconf, alsamixer and all those
typical alsa tricks.

I am now just getting back into pd mode since Sept
and I just recently upgraded Ubuntu from 9.04 -> 10.10
which needed a kernel broadcom wifi driver tweak
I installed the 'PD-0.42.5-extended-20101205' using the .deb package
(because it works perfectly on my Dell mini9 (which I use as a
test sandbox))
I tested all my Linux audio apps on Ubuntu 10.10
(my config is in the sig at the end of this email)
and every one checked out OK
except for baudline which wasn't working with ALSA
the reason it wasn't working with ALSA - as related to me by the
developer - was that
'Ubuntu 10.10 removed kernel ALSA OSS emulation' but baudline does
work with Jack'
so I'm having a lot of problems getting Pd set up the way it was
on my 9.04 system
which was working fine up until my upgrade
I have a few questions related to problems that are causing much
confusion:
problem #1:
===========
no audio via ALSA
- I open the Audio Settings panel, point my settings to my USB
card, click save, apply
- open and start the Test Audio patch
- there is no audio
- the console doesn't say anything about trying to find or
connect to an audio device
- re-open the Audio settings panel and the settings are all
switched back to my 'nanokontrol'
the ~/.pdextended file says:
noaudioin: True
noaudioout: True
I try the same procedure with Jack and there is audio
and ALSA midi also seems to work fine
is there a problem with ALSA and Pd now due to the removal of ALSA
OSS emulation?
problem #2:
===========
Libraries are not loading
- all the libraries that were installed with 0.42.5 are not found
even though they are listed in the .pdextended file
- I read on the Pd FAQ page that '.pdextended' is the file where
all the paths are stored
but I was using Pd extended in my studio and all my paths (I
think) were in the '.pdsettings' file which supposedly was used
only by the pd plain vanilla version
- was there a change made to the settings file name between Sept
and now?
- and is there a simpler way of re-constituting my paths other
than doing it by hand?
can someone point me to something that can bring me up to date on
changes since Sept?
a change log or something?
any/all help is very appreciated!!
oh yeah, happy new year!
