Hi Gilberto,

thank you very much for your answer, which led me a step forward.
(I thought that I could choose those extended objects from the menu.)

I am able to create those objects which means, that pd-extended is really working.

Sorry for confusion and thank you for your efforts!

Hi Gilberto,

when I write "pd-extended" in the terminal, it starts as "0.43.4-extended". That is correct. But how to start the extensions? I can't see them. It seems, that in reality only pd (without extensions) is working.

Thanks
Peter

Hi Gilberto,

I tried your command, but it also did not work:

user@user:~$ pasuspender -- /usr/lib/pd-extended/tcl/pd-gui.tcl %F
Verbindungsfehler: Verbindung verweigert
pa_context_connect() failed: Ungültiger Parameter

I found out that In the FLOSS Manuals is written:

Pure Data Extended requires two software 'libraries' from an older version of Ubuntu - libflac7 and libjasper

In the last graphics of this page GEM is mentioned.

Unfortunately the manual is 7 years old and in KXSudio there is no synaptic, only muon, in which less programs are listed.

Thanks
Peter

Hi Gilberto,

thank you for your answer, but the problems remained the same.
Thanks
Peter

Hallo,
I installed pd, it started by the icon "run pd" and it worked. After that I decided to install pd-extended by running these commands from http://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian:

"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases lsb_release -c | awk '{print $2}' main"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 9f0fe587374bbe81
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key D63D3D09C39F5EEB
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pd-extended
"

Result: I can not start pd-extended by its icon. Start in the terminal, results in these messages:

"
user@user:~$ pd-extended
priority 6 scheduling enabled.
priority 8 scheduling enabled.
open: /etc/pd/gem.conf: No such file or directory
open: /home/user/.pd/gem.conf: No such file or directory
open: ./gem.conf: No such file or directory
"

The programm works, but not with the features of ps-extended, I guess.
(installed: 0.43.4-extended and 0.45.4)

Did I something wrong? How to resolve the messages above?

Is there a good descripition of the features of pd-extended?

Thanks,
Peter

This guy also has problems with 14.04:

However, I didn't care about the untrusted packages.
