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

Could anybody help me in this issue?
Thank you all and a big HELLO to everybody
