Hi,
I'm going to get "flamed" for saying this but I think we need to
depreciate the Ubuntu install through the Tryphon repository as it's
now on a very old version of Ubuntu (over 4 years old) which in less
than 12 months will be EOL. The last Tryphon repository version is
based on Rivendell 10.3 and there are no fixes provided for this
version if security updates in Ubuntu break it. We also don't know
how long the repository will still be around for. We are very
grateful for all of the work that Alban put into providing this
repository so Alban, please accept our thanks.
Markus (the original poster?), I think the best advice that you could
be given is to try the CentOS7 script install of Rivendell. Once this
is up and running, you have a stable base on which to play. I've
never heard of anything that the Rivendell community has produced
having adverts so I don't know what you are running.
You are right. The last release on our repositories is pretty
(understand "fu***ng") old. I'm currently working on packaging for the
latest 2.19.2, which is already compiling for several ubuntu and 1
debian distrubutions. As it represents quite a big work since our
packages contain patches that has not been merged in the upstream
project (@fred not yet ?) in addition to standard packaging work, I'm
concentrating on LTS releases and maybe latest releases. A major cause
of our slowness was the need to repackage Qt3 (which is.... well....
let's say 'very old') for the new releases, and its dependencies are
starting to break everywhere. But I found yesterday is some mailing list
archive that Qt4 is supposed to be working since 2.16. Has it been
stabilized (I've read that some points were still not really stable and
some crashes occured at this time) with Qt4?
Moreover, the hpklinux upstream sources has been deeply refactored and
our packaging scripts must be updated a lot. I saw that Audioscience has
an Ubuntu PPA providing up-to-date packages, which can be a good
starting point for Ubuntu, but not recommanded for Debian. I'll see if I
can repackage starting from the sources files from the PPA.
Moreover, Tryphon SARL (tryphon.eu, our company with Alban) is closing
soon. This can explain the lack of releases... The repositories and all
other stuff may be available for some time after the closing, but should
not been considered as durable. Maybe everything will be transfered to
another place... In the meantime, even if I'm a Debian/Ubuntu promoter,
I'll give a try to the CentOS installation of Rivendell in order to have
an updated opinion on this distribution and to take advantages of the
new features and bugfixes ;)
I'll keep you all updated as soon as I have some Debian/Ubuntu packages
ready (my packaging setup is migrating from cowbuilder to docker based
builder images)
Best regards
Florent
Tryphon CEO

I don't recognize the issue you describe, but you can file an
issue on GitHub - you may find the problem will go away on CentOS.
You’d do better to speak to whomever you got the Ubuntu packages
from. GitHub deals with Rivendell code. This sounds like a
packaging problem with Ubuntu.

I did, in fact, use the Rivendell/Paravel combined download,
but it seemed full of ads, plus a Terminal warning whenever I
made an error that said "this has been reported". Probably a
joke, but disconcerting when you are already out of your depth!
Where exactly did you get this ‘combined download’? It does not
sound like anything that we have ever released.
Cheers!
