Hey all, I'd like to give information on the work being done so far: Since my last mail regarding the "new packages in [community] topic", I've added a few more: * dpf-plugins * fabla * luppp * non-daw (non-{mixer,session-manager,timeline}) * sorcer * sonic-pi (but that's seriously on its way out again...) * infamousplugins * zam-plugins * rt-tests * giada * artyfx * freewheeling * avldrums.lv2 * blop.lv2 * eteroj.lv2 * fomp.lv2 * mda.lv2 * midi_matrix.lv2 * moony.lv2 * sherlock.lv2 * vm.lv2 * cmt * convolv2 * din * patchmatrix * spectmorph * lmms (updated to latest RC) * sweep * qmidictl * qxgedit * alsa-tools * python-jack-client * python-pyalsa * python-zita-audiotools * python-zita-jacktools * zita-jclient * zita-jclient * aliki * jaaa * jconvolver * jnoisemeter * njconnect * paulstretch * realtime-privileges * japa * lv2file * noise-repellent * setbfree * ams-lv2 * beatslash-lv2 * gmsynth.lv2 * lsp-plugins * libmusicxml * dragonfly-reverb * wolf-shaper * ssr @Albert: pd-lua is still on the list, let's get in touch! @Chris: dexed can also go to [community], I'll look into it! Most of them are in (at least) one of the audio related groups: "pro-audio", "lv2-plugins", "dssi-plugins", "vst-plugins", "ladspa-plugins" or "realtime" You can have a look with: pacman -Sg <group_name> And install the whole group with: pacman -S <group_name> I have done some (minor) revamps of the relevant Arch wiki pages ([1], [2], [3]), but would love to see many more changes (to remove irrelevant data and add actual good and concise examples). Enjoy! David P.S.: If you have suggestions for more additions, let me know!

[arch-proaudio] jconvolver (fconvolver segfaulting)
by Jeanette C. 24 Nov '18

Hey hey, does anyone else have problems with fconvolver? For me it reliably segfaults everytime I call it with an appropriate configuration file, tested with jconvolver. I tried to debug, but there are no debugging symbols in it. I only get to the point where it fails within the set_options memeber function.

Even while my mails for what ever reasons need to wait for moderation, you should reply to the mailing list. That it's related to the Arc theme is very strange. I'm using an Arc theme customized by myself and never updated the theme. At least a self build Ardour 5.8 does run without issues on my machine. A few GTK apps became unstable on my machine. SpaceFM GTK2, migrating to SpaceFM GTK3 solved almost all issues. Firefox and all Firefox clones, such as Pale Moon. Claws-Mail GTK2, Claws-Mail GTK3 is even more unstable. I guess GUIs to handle tar archives never worked very well on my Arch install, I anyway prefer CLI over GUI for this purpose. Last but not least, Gimp, but the latest Gimp releases seem to work for nobody on what ever distro. Apart from those few nearly unusable apps, anything else, GTK or Qt, seems to be stable.

Since few days, i cant launch Ardour[5.12-7] anymore. I get the attached output. I use to built it, so i have tried with the repo version and even git version from AUR ... unfortunatly the same thing happens [ i have tried on three different machine] . My three machines are on Arch and up to date, everything was ok till there... I have added a bug on arch ardour page three or for days ago but no answer. Is someone experience the same thing or has an idea to fix that? *Dancehall Echo* Web Site Promoting Reggae, Dancehall And Soca Music.
