Hi,

I searched the forum for finding an answer how to get pd extended (32 bit) to Ubuntu natty narwal.
Can somebody help me with that?

All the best

Joerg

going here is a good start. Have you tried downloading one of those yet?

Hi sunji,

thanks for the link.
I tried with different packages and wanted to install them with the softwarecenter, but it didn't work. So next step was to install via Synaptec under other software with the link from Steiner for installation in Ubuntu.
What worked in the end was to copy this to the other software links (deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases lucid main) and replace "lucid" with "maverick" (deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases maverick main). Now so far it works. I have not checked all basics like different soundcards with jack, but it works in stereo with alsa over desktop speakers.

Best

Joerg

Hi Joerg,

could you please be more specific on what you have done in the synaptic packages? I'm also on natty and dont get it to work. I changed the path to maverick as you said before but i get an error message when ubuntu tries to download the package.

Hope you can help me.
Thanks.

Hi Christian,

o.k. I try.
I have a german distribution on my computer so I have to take the german names.
First:
Put " deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases lucid main"
as a new source under (Einstellungen/Paketquellen/Andere Software).

Now there should be two lines.

One with
" deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases lucid main"
and a second with
" deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases lucid main(Quelltext)"

Change the word lucid with maverick in both lines under "Bearbeiten" then it should work.

If not, it could be neccessary to have installed the normal puredata with some extensions (like puredata-import, etc.) from synaptec before you try to install pd-extended. You can find it regularely with "Schnellauswahlfilter" in "Synaptec-Paketverwaltung".

That is all I done with it. Hope this a help for you.
Good luck !

Joerg

Hi Jörg,

hab es genauso versucht wie du schon in deinem vorangegangenen Post geschrieben hast und jetzt auch noch nochmal mit deiner Antwort bestätigt. Aber alles was ich dann bekomme von Synaptic ist eine Fehlermeldung über ein defektes Paket was bereits installiert (betrifft irgendwelche libs und nicht direkt PD) ist und erst entfernt werden müsste. Leider weiß ich noch nicht wie. Muss nochmal schauen um was es sich dabei handelt. Werde es einfach nochmal so probieren. Puredata (normal) ist schon durch Ubuntu-Studio vorhanden. Einige Erweiterungen dadurch auch schon bei Synaptic mit erfasst.
Einzige Lösung für mich die Extended laufen zu lassen ist per Wine die Windows Version zu nehmen. Funktioniert soweit ganz gut, hab aber den Eindruck das es nicht ganz so flüssig läuft.

Danke für deine Antwort

-> english

i tried it the way you wrote but all i get is an error message that says there is a defective package that has to uninstalled. But i dont know how i have to do this. The normal version of PD is installed because i use UbuntuStudio. I'll try it again and have a look on what i have to uninstall maybe this will do it.
My solution to run PD extended atm is to run the WinEdition over wine. Not that smooth IMO but runs fine.

Thanks for your answer.

Ok here are my results:

Tried it yesterday two times. As i said before i already tried it the way Joerg described in his 2nd post. My first try yesterday ended up with the message that synaptic couldn't find the specified package-folder in the apt directory. Don't know if there was a mistake made by me. Anyway. For my second and last try i copied @Joerg said:

deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases maverick main

straight out of joergs post and pasted it in the synaptic dialog for adding other software repositories. Hit Enter ... all went fine. Reload packages .... and SUCCESS!!! Package for the extended version was available for installation.

Welcome PD-extended on natty narwhal

Thanks
