The Mixbus32C I run is the one from say, 3-4 days ago. The listing shown here is from LM 17 which I do not use for music anymore.

Not so much, if only by the difference we saw here regarding xcb-util. Debian has an old version, not updated, while Mint has the required one. The latest xcb-util seemingly being 3 years old. I've seen that at other times where Debian can be lacking on the updates of some packages. Sometimes just mentioning it to the maintainer solves the problem at other times it might be more involving.

It works by using the same 'silly' dialog box that's used for saving presets which here I've dragged a bit to make the screenshot but which normally appears in a corner of the screen, sometimes underneath Bitwig :?

CentOS and Debian don't work.
I don't know if things have changed that much, but I worked for years at a RedHat/CentOS shop.
I ran various flavors of Debian for music though. I found RedHat/CentOS too backward to run cutting edge software easily.

I tweaked Linux at work and don't want to spend my spare time doing it at home. Very little music gets made if thats all your doing is trying to run modern software on a backwards distro.

I can see CentOS in the data center where stability is important, but stability is not so important for multimedia, except maybe in a live performance situation.
I also have a bad taste in my mouth about the direction RedHat went with their business practices.
CentOS reeks of that RedHat odor.

Besides, CentOS by itself was a crap desktop distro and especially bad multimedia distro,
Of course you can spend the time to make it a multimedia distro, but but why?
t gives me a headache just thinking about it.

I haven't used CentOS in a few years. Maybe things have changed?
You are totally right with regard to how Centos was not long ago, but since 7.4 they have introduced Gnome 3.22 which is pretty recent. Also they rebased the following: openLDAP, samba, clufter, ipmitool, tcpdump, shim, GNOME, NetworkManager, Kernel-GRE-module, openssh, openSSL, libreswan, chrony, rsyslog, sudo and libvirt

Another big change is the https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/ repo. They have the latest PHP, Apache, MariaDB and Git all supported and maintained by Red Hat. No more being stuck with crappy out of date software! All the essentials like VLC, jack-audio drivers etc are available too. I am setting up Wine 2.03 running LinVST in Reaper, and it all seems great. I have Voxengo Elephant and Valhalla Vintage Verb running flawlessly, and that is all I really needed from the Windows world :)

For RT kernels I doubt you can beat the official Red Hat ones that are updated constantly, and available on Centos. I have not tried them yet, but looking forward to it.

I have no idea why anybody would not like Red Hat, without them Linux would be in big trouble. They invest the money that is so needed in open source and provide leadership in standards... I love Richard Stallman as much as anyone else, but Linux needs money and professional paid developers as much as it needs a caring ideology.

This thread is getting really active. I was thinking about it while doing my Christmas shopping, which means I should stop thinking about Linux and get things ready around the house instead :lol:

Can't wait for the new static linked version! THANKS! HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

I ran Fedora CCRMA for quite a few years. I think I switched to Mint because one Fedora did not install properly, do nto remember exactly, but there was a reason to go through the 'trouble' of switching to another OS version. This said, all the time I ran Fedora CCRMA it was great. Wonder if the CCRMA guys are still at it with Fedora.

Hello :)

So here is the new build: http://uhedownloads.heckmannaudiogmb.ne ... 824.tar.gz

The fonts looks a bit shitty for now, I'll improve that later :)

Have fun!

Cool. Thanks a lot for that! Works with with a quick test (debian9, also with Ardour and Mixbus binaries).
i'm curious: Do you dynamically load libX11? or how does the plugin GUI work?

I have a bunch of libs statically linked into the .so, I don't use xlib, but I use xcb which requires xau and xdmcp. I don't know how many libs but more than 10 for sure.

Post

I'm just surprised they don't show up in `ldd`. the xlib/xcb need to remain dynamic (they must match the server version).

Edit: Usually you link against libX11, and that in turn pulls in the required local libs (depending on x-server version).

I don't think they do, X is a network protocol right? And I did all of it to fix this issue with xcb-util... don't tell me I'm wasting my time please :D

I don't think you wasted your time, just a bit overzealous static linking. Including all of cairo, pixman, libpng, freetype, etc etc is the right step.

I hazard a guess it may fail with wayland's X11 wrapper if you statically linked against X11 with a fixed protocol version. Anyway I guess we'll find out from user-reports soon.

Thanks a lot for this early x-mas present!

I thought xwayland was an x server...

OK Anyway, now time to make some acid goa (finally...) next round in January.
Have good holidays everybody!

...HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
I think it's the lack of an rpm based repository,
like kx studio, and a consistantly available live distro like AVLinux,
more than anything else. If someone using some variant
or even stock version of Red Hat/Centos/Fedora
had the time, will, and skill of falk and gmac, things would
be different. Hard to find someone with one of the mentioned
traits/situations, let alone two, and three is...well, they almost never coincide,
and that is why most people can and do use deb/untu variants
for linux music-making.

You mention a lot of good recent Red Hat related changes,
very good news, as competition drives innovation
and inspires increased effort. Hopefull by this time next year,
the Centos-based video editing suite
will have the audio issues sorted, and provide a great
media production alternative to mac/win systems.
Merry Christmas, and happy 2018!
