Overtone neither able to connect, nor to start SuperCollider server #467
Comments
luckily I'm also on nixos (and the .so libraries are patched with patchelf on nixos). But I need to test what's going on here, it could be some conflict happening in the dynamic loader, which is picking up both your supercollider and the distributed binaries. For completion, which overtone version or revision are you running on? |
Hey @hlolli, thanks for tuning in. It's 0.10.6. |
Or, since you use NixOS, do you have a nix file for a SuperCollider (/overtone) environment? |
I got it running with the following steps
I leave this issue open, since the internal server would still be a lot more convenient if it worked. Also I appreciate any hints on how to automate these steps (especially the last one) |
thanks for sharing this info... it helped me to at least get something running :-) I was using lein and did the following: step 1: step 2:
step 3: (in the repl) step 4: (playing sound in the repl) |
I use the same approach as @whatevergeek. |
Also having this problem -- I cannot boot an internal or external scsynth from Overtone, I have to start it in a separate terminal, connect the outputs in JACK, and only then can I connect Overtone to scsynth. |
Can we put a notice of this issue on the main readme? I wasted a silly amount of time going in circles thinking my JACK server was somehow broken when it was working for everything else. |
Same thing happened to me, I have to connect to external server and connect the outputs with jack before hearing anything. I this issue could indeed be more prominently noted. |
For anyone involved who got it working via the steps above, please see #484. Do you have any ideas on how to debug this further? For me no sound is played back. |
In case anyone runs into this issue on Fedora, @whatevergeek's steps worked for me, however I was also seeing the following error while trying to run
After some digging around in the source, I found that the issue was caused by this function trying to run the After running |
Hey everyone, we've put out several new releases of Overtone in the last two months, with a bunch of changes and improvements to how SuperCollider is handled. We no longer embed our own supercollider, so you do have to install it manually yourself, but starting scsynth and connecting jack should be much more robust now. We also no longer rely on I'm going to close this now as I think the main issue has been resolved. Please do open a new issue if you still encounter problems! Thank you very much. |
I'm using NixOS and got jack running using
jack_simple_client does produce a tone and I am able to generate tones using the SuperCollider IDE (so my JACK server seems to be working fine).
When I try to run overtone.live, it is however unable to start the internal SC server:
Further, when I boot a server in the SuperCollider IDE and try to use that one with overtone, I get a timeout error:
Is this an error on my (configuration) side or a bug?
