Hi, first of all, many thanks for all your answers. I'll respond in seperate posts about seperate issues.
Dave, I booted Puredyne again without the Audiofire on, booted Jack (without error) and ran gedit in SC mode. SC started up without the server gui as you said. So I typed s.boot and hit cntrl-e, but nothing happened. Selecting 'evaluate' from the menu did work and I started up the server and produced sound :-) But the keyboard commands seem broken. cntrl-a does nothing, cntrl-u erases the current line, while cntrl-z and escape do actually work as expected. I switched the keyboard layout to german as I'm used to, but the issue remains. Cheers, Axel (not John, I'm having issues with my usual mailing list address, so, sorry for the confusion) ________________________________ From: Dave Britton <[email protected]> To: puredyne <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, January 3, 2011 9:02:36 PM Subject: Re: [puredyne] Newbie questions I just booted from a puredyne 9.11 live disc to test your situation, and discovered that I forgot to include this in my instructions: after you start gedit, click Edit/Preferences, then Plugins, then Supercollider mode. Now you can see Supercollider mode in the Tools menu. Gedit and Supercollider come on the live iso, and seem to work out of the box, although the SwingOsc gui did not display. (no biggie, just boot the server from the s.boot command or the gedit Supercollider menu option "start server".) To get the help system you can also use the gedit/Supercollider menu choice "Find Help" (or Ctl-U) instead of browsing to it. Also, after you start playing sound by clicking Ctl-E on the line {SinOsc.ar}.play; you can stop the sound by pressing Esc.
