Hey Felix,
Good to hear you have some joy with pd.
Regarding reverb, there was a recent thread on the pd list about
this titled "reverb in pd" (check the archives) including one
from Claude who is one of the pd devs on Puredyne. The
[rev1-3~] externals are also included in Puredyne already.
Not sure about the canvas colour stuff, sorry.
Cheers,
Julian

Hey Julian, thankyou for your welcome,
no problem.
I am in Puredyne 911 carrot and coriander dvd version
(installed, not live)
Yes, me too.
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).
That version wont run on my 64b machine but I have Pde as
well as Pd installed on this machine so it is possible.
I have a memory of having to change a couple of parameters
in the makefile to get it to work. But it did. Sorry I'm
not more precise, it was a while ago and I don't do much
compiling either. One of the pleasures of Puredyne is that
it pretty much all works so it generally doesn't require
much fiddling with. This can also be a negative too.
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.
Have you explored the '.pdrc' file? On my computer it's in
/home/julian and you need 'show hidden files' turned on in
the folder window. This is where your pd pointing is done I
think. Check if your abstractions are being set to the
wrong folder in the .pdrc, just correct/add-to the file and
save out, reboot pd.
Thank you, it works fine now, it recognizes it all.
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)
Still missing freeverb, but now that the screen has got
cleaner it seems to be the only one missing.
I found the source in
http://puredata.info/community/projects/software/freeverb
and now I want to learn how to compile it (the info should
be in the documentation, I guess).
, 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).
You should be able to find those easily online but I am
also aware that Pd still has no satisfactory way of telling
you what externals you are missing. I would recommend
checking that all the available libs in Puredyne are
definitely booting and then see what, if anything, you are
missing.
How should I do it? Must I try each one in the
/usr/lib/pd/extra folder? Anyway it seems that my patch is
quite vanilla. The only external used is freeverb, and this
is because I still don't know how to do a reverb by myself
(using only what puredata provides)
I have compiled a few libs recently and it was pretty
painless(pmpd for example), although there are a few that
defeated me (cyclone). As someone has mentioned previously
it is possible to just transfer some libs from program to
program and across different computers but I guess it
should in no way be seen as a sensible solution.
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?
You have the 'gDebi' package installer? Sometimes I add
things that I think everyone already has, Ed Kelly
recommended having the 'xfce cpu govorner' which is very
handy for example. One of the design aims of Puredyne is
to be much lighter than Ubuntu, sometimes that streamlining
makes for a more involved interaction with the OS.
No, I see it is missing. I'll install it now, but I will
continue fixing the already installed pd version. Thank you
for the info.
I feel that not having it was lucky, as I am getting
confortable with not needing a probably not configured,
supefluous and redundant pde installment.
A difference I would like to understand is that in the
extended version I was able to change the colours of the
canvas, wires and such by tweaking the pd.tk <http://pd.tk>
file in the /usr/lib/pd/bin folder. Now, this version of pd
is more like the vanilla one, is it so? the interface
colours are defined in a way I do not understand. Do you?
about the Puredyne design aim, I really like it, for sure.
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?
Ah yes, that is irritating isn't it. Your files will be in
the download folder /home/blahblah/download, I think.
Yes it is, but not a great deal. If you happen to find how
to fix it please let me know.
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.
Hope you like it - it's really worth persevering with I
reckon. I too am very much Linux-light and perhaps some
more knowledgeable list'ers can weigh in to help with your
specific problems. If not, apparently the irc channel is
where you can find some of the devs, some of the time.
Thank you again and best wishes to you too,
Your welcome and kind regards,
Julian, you are extremely helpful. Thank you a lot, really
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

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
