Thanks

I'm Lubuntu 15.04

I ran apt-get update, but looks like ppa is somehow broken:

Hello.

I remember from less than a year ago, you could install pd-extended very easily by just adding a ppa and then "apt-get install pd-extended".

So what has changed? There is no longer package pd-extended.

I'm trying to connect PureData with LMMS... watched this video:

But it doesn't work for me. After I click on ALSA (like the guy in the video) I get this error:
"ALSA output error (snd_pcm_open): Device or resource busy"

I found this forum topic: http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-1396-alsa-issues

but running pd with "-alsa -alsaadd default" added does not solve the problem for me...

My specs:
Ubuntu up to date
PureData 0.43.4

Greetings!

Today I wanted to start learning pd, and I'm having a huge problem installing it (started at 8pm now it's 2:43 am)...

First the ubuntu ppa didn't work. This is the output from "sudo apt-get update"

W: Failed to fetch http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/luna/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/luna/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/luna/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

so I have to compile it...

I downloaded pd-extended,
cd to packages/linux_make and sudo make install

But the installation just won't go trough... I already successfully installed many dependencies (also everything mentioned here: http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Debian) but this I cannot find:

...

compilation terminated.

...

How many more of them are there?? And one more question... why am I having such a bad time compiling this? I don't find any people having this issues on the forums and on google...

I actually got it working with ardour.

Steps:
1. Start jack and ardour
2. Create Session and add new track for pd
3. Start pd with -jack option
4. Select Jack under Media
5. Go to qjackctl -> Connections and connect pd outputs on the left with the ardour's "pd" entry on the right.
6. This way I can record pd output in Ardour. Which is actually what I need.

Thanks for help and your patience with me... you were awesome!

ok. so this are the steps I have to make:

1. make sure that pulseaudio is not running (not sure how.. i guess "pulseaudio -k" kills it)
2. start qjackctl
3. click start
4. start pd-extended
5. start pulseaudio

Last step fails i think:

E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

In qjackctl Connections under "Audio" pd_extended_0 and PulseAudio JACK Sink are added. But from here I'm lost. I'm actually giving up on lmms and trying out ardour. Will report the progress.

I spend one sleepless night a while ago installing all the dependencies. I can compile it with no problem. The reason for that is that ubuntu ppa didn't work that night.. today I see it's working...

So I installed it from ppa right now...

Great! Now I have jack in media... how do I set this up?

No I'm also using pd-extended.. how do I build it with jack support?
