Hi Fernando, Last night I took the plunge and put the majority of my notes on getting Rivendell 3.x (I tested/compiled with 3.4.1int5 and int6 most recently) compiled on Ubuntu 18.04 on the wiki. I *believe* these instructions to be fairly complete, however I may be missing a few things.
I agree that some of what I've done is a little different from the accepted Rivendell approach with regards to security. Namely the way I've set up /var/snd and the notes I have on getting Rivendell and Jack working together. I will likely update these sections in the future, but I wanted to get the bulk of my notes in a single spot. Please feel free to go through these instructions with Ubuntu 18.04 (I actually prefer LUbuntu 18.04 to be specific) and see how it goes for you. I'd love to hear if I've missed something. http://wiki.rivendellaudio.org/index.php/Ubuntu18_04 Thanks, Lorne Tyndale > > > Hi Lorne! > > Thank you so much for the explanations. > > I have tried Rivendell on Centos 7 using the Paravell repositories too. > Works fine although I used set some things slighty different in the old > times (rivendell 2 over ubuntu 10.04, I think) > > It's a pity QT has to be rewritten upon a new version, it would be amazing > if it was backward code compatible. > > Yesterday I tried myself compiling Rivendell 3.4 using Ubuntu 18.04 and > Debian 10.6 (buster).
