Hi list, I am trying to get showq to work on Debian testing but am unable to make it launch. In a terminal i get: $ showq ShowQ:out_1 # system:playback_1 ShowQ:out_2 # system:playback_2 ShowQ:out_3 # system:playback_3 ShowQ:out_4 # system:playback_4 and a GUI error message saying "Show Q encountered an unknown-error." just as described in this git issue from Sept 2016 https://github.com/evandelisle/showq/issues/29 I am wondering if showq's authors are following this list or how I can elsehow report (and solve!) this without getting a github account. Thanks for any hints! Peter * Michael Jarosch <riotsound@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [2015-05-13 12:12]: > Hi there! > > ShowQ is a unique cue-player for Linux-Audio-Users.
