newbie problems with FST

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear linux-audio users,

I am new here, and the world of pro-audio, too.
I would like to run Kontakt on Linux.
(Or, to be more specific, I would like to run Galaxy Pianos, which is powered by Kontakt.)

My prime candidate for the job is FST.  Here is what I have:

- My system is a 64-bit Debian stable/testing/unstable hybrid installation.
- I have a working Jack2 installation, and I can use native applications without problems. (Midi keyboard, fluidsynth, etc.)
- I have compiled and installed wine 1.3.34. (I created a 32-bit installation.)
- I have checked out, compiled and installed the GIT version of Festige (including FST)

If I run festige, and configure a directory containing the Kontakt VST dll, festige finds them.

When calling "info" on a plugin, I get this on the console:

---------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/mnt/user_data/home/pianist/local/share/festige/src/w_festige.py",
line 84, in run
output = getoutput(self.next_command)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/commands.py", line 50, in getoutput
return getstatusoutput(cmd)[1]
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/commands.py", line 60, in getstatusoutput
text = pipe.read()
IOError: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call
---------------------

I checked and calling fstinfo.exe manually on the targeted DLL file
gives meaningful result, but still, the info feature fails with the
festige frontend.

When I try to actually launch a plugin (with Jack already running), I get this:

---------------------

`default' server already active
Failed to open server

---------------------

I guess it is starting to jack manually. But why? It would be great if
it would be configurable; for example, for me, jack is already
running, and is doing other things.

Anyway, if I stop jack, and let festige/fst start it, I get this:

---------------------
yo... lets see...

---------------------

Any idea why can't it connect to jack?
(And what is the "unkown option character l" at the start?)

I am running jack2 (v1.9.7).

Can you help me fixing this?

Thank you for your help:
