Hey Julian, thankyou for your welcome,
I am in Puredyne 911 carrot and coriander dvd version (installed, not
live) and that probably shows me my first error: I wanted to install
puredata extended for karmic 910 (the down below ubuntu version in this
link: http://puredata.info/community/projects/software/pd-extended).
Yes, I might like the preinstalled version as I understand that it must
be configured precicely and therefore stable and reliable, so I am
willing to give it a try. But I do not understand some problems and
differences I find. I add a path to my abstractions
(/home/felix/mysounds/mypuredata/abstractions) and I accept and it gives
me the same result every time: instead of selecting all the abstractions
in this folder, I don't know why it always choose this path to a folder
inside the one I choose:
/home/felix/mysounds/mypuredata/abstractions/rottensound (in which I
only have a few abstractions classified under the "rottensound" name.
The second problem is that I don't know how to install or even find the
abstractions that I am missing (freeverb is the one I noticed), but I
guess that both this problems should be posted in the pd list instead
(?), and I believe that this last one might not be difficult to solve
anyway (hope I'm right).
Something relating Puredyne that I don't get is how do you install a
debian package, I mean, as I tried xubuntu before for a month or two,
and as I realize Puredyne is based in it, how is it that Puredyne does
not have the automatic installing proccess when clicking on a .deb file,
just asking for the needed packages?
Also, when I right click in the download manager in firefox and choose
"open containing folder" why is it asking me to choose a program to open
it with? what should I do then?
Anyway, I am new to Puredyne (first 36 hours), and again, I am also new
to linux itself (some months), so forgive if my questions are not
intelligent ones. I'll appreciate a lot the gidelines.
Thank you again and best wishes to you too,
Felix

Hey Felix and welcome to the list,
Well firstly I would say that you should check/search some of the
previous threads - my memory is that there is one from a month or so
ago that walks you through the process (though I haven't tried it
myself). You should also include which version of Puredyne you have
and also which version of Pde you want to install.
Also are you aware that the pre-installed version of Pd has many of
the major libs pre-packaged and it may be simpler to just add
something if it isn't already included. There is also a big bunch of
abstractions as well as external libs so have a good explore.
All good wishes,
Julian

Hi, I am new to Puredyne and want to install Pd extended, but it
doesn't show in the repositories and does not work installing the
.deb file (I must say that I am new to linux too, just in case).
Could anybody help me in this issue?
Thank you all and a big HELLO to everybody in the list!
