Can someone help me understand these messages?
Hello All,
I wonder if some kind person can help me understand these three warning messages? Here's the first which pops up when first starting Qtractor:
Opening "/home/madamex/Studio/Qtractor/Templates/Basic Template.qtr"...
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
And here is the second which pops up when loading in a project which uses the ACE Fluidsynth plugin:
Session started.
a-fluidsynth.lv2: Host does not support bankpatch:notify
And the third:
Save session: "/home/madamex/Studio/Qtractor/Long Liz Intro/Fanfare.qtr".
write_property_array(): warning: Writing absolute path /home/madamex/Studio/SoundFonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2
I'm fairly new to Linux, and very new to music production with Qtractor, as you can probably tell. So, I'd like to understand what these messages are telling me.
Thank you!
re. Can someone help me understand these messages?
hi,
I'm also puzzled about those messages...
what exactly happens to the working session? if it seems to play or work fine then you may just overlook all but the first of those messages...
however, that first message, is kinda suspicious; maybe you have no jack/pipewire running? just a hunch:)
byee
Hi again,
Hi again,
Yes, I should have mentioned that despite these messages, Qtractor performs quite well for me; everything works. By the way, I use Linux Mint Xfce 22.
Maybe I should have provided the entire list of messages to put everything in context, so I've attached them here.
Thanks again.
Just out of curiosity, are
Just out of curiosity, are you using the appimage?
Maybe I'm wrong, but that could be the reason, as appimages create a temporary alternative path for system libraries files.
It also causes the GUIs of Calf plugins to be blank (you mentioned this error in another query).
Except for CalfFluidsynth, the rest of the fluidsynth plugins available for linux give me problems when creating templates that contain them, they crash Qtractor.
Try the installable version of Qtractor:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:rncbc/qtractor
In the list on the right are the .deb installers for ubuntu (and therefore mint)
Thank you, G3N-es, for your
Thank you, G3N-es, for your kind attention.
Yes, I am using an AppImage (v1.3). I've been unable to install the binary you suggested, receiving an error message saying the "librubberband3" dependency is not able to be satisfied. Linux Mint is still sort of new to me, so I'm unsure how to proceed. I gather this particular dependency natively occurs in some versions of Linux, but apparently not Mint.
As an alternative, the version in the Software Manager is way too old to be of benfit (something like 0.9 if I recall), for I've already gotten very used to the excellent features of version 1.3.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

First of all, if the AppImage
First of all, if the AppImage works for you, the warnings are the least of it.
But it's a shame that you're missing out on the Calf suite and Carla plugin. I think that's the only drawback of the AppImage in Qtractor.
AppImages tend to create strange errors and warnings, because their approach is a bit botched. They "replace" the system libraries with their own by recreating them in a temporary file. And this can lead to unexpected results with pathfinding when plugins and third-party applications come into play.
The plugin will try to call its own dependencies in the system paths, but the program will take it to a different place where the system dependencies and paths are not, but those of the program.
At least that's the conclusion I've come to, and that would explain the warnings.
I could be wrong. I'm sure Rui will clear up our doubts.
The installed application is more recommendable.
Although I insist, if the AppImage works well for you, everything is fine.
There are 3 installers for Ubuntu.
I don't know if you've tried all 3, sometimes you get lucky and one of them matches your system dependencies.
Another option is to install by compiling. It's not as difficult as it seems.
