GrandOrgue 0.2 Beta released for testing...

[AlainT]

Hi everybody.

I get problems while trying to install GrandOrgue under Ubuntu.
I followed the steps indicated in Graham Goode's very interesting site.
I set up the wxwidgets.com repository, then I imported the signature.
When I ask for reloading of the package, I get an error message indicating that http://apt.wxwidgets.org/dists/lucid...386/Package.gz is not found.
I can follow the links on the net by hand until lucid-wx, but afterwards it looks like being: main/sources/Sources (where there are informations about libwxgetk2 and libwxBase2.8).
Can anybody tell me where I do wrong?

@AlainT: You can find information and the most recent steps for installing the wx* for Ubuntu on http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian but it's of course possible to install from synaptic also but you need to add both the key.asc (you'll find it on http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc and you add it on the Authentication tab) and the repository (on Other Software tab). The lines you need to add there are:

deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ lucid-wx main

and

deb-src http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ lucid-wx main

After that you can install the necessary packages and it should work.

Another hint when using GrandOrgue 0.2 for Linux is that I've discovered that unticking the "Lossless compression" and "Randomize Pipe Speaking) on the Audio, Settings will improve the performance a lot by reducing the annoying release and attack clicks.

Thanks Lxxx for your answer.
The topic you are mentioning to install the libraries and repository signature gives the same information i already had. So I still get the same not found messages.... I've got to think ....!

Hi Alain,

I last set this up in Ubuntu with 9.04 and just copied those debs across when I upgraded... and as the version has not changed since jaunty it might be worth trying to install the jaunty or karmic versions? Just a thought.

I have GrandOrgue 0.2 working on 10.04, so it's possible to set up with lucid repositories, but I did that almoast half a year ago...

Just, to be clear. The problem is that you cannot get to wx lucid repositories registered, and update the package list so you can find the necessary -ansi packages?

I'll try to install them on another computer and see what I get, but in the mean time I recommend that you check what repositories -lines you have active in Synaptics Other Software tab and try to delete and reinsert them correctly. Of course the key must be registered also.

I've just sucessfully installed GrandOrgue 0.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 (again)!

The steps from a fresh new Ubuntu install were:

• Download key.asc (go to adress mentioned above with firefox and save page key.asc somewhere on your computer)

• Open Synaptic - go to Autentication tab and add key (the file you downloaded)

• In Synaptic to to Other Software tab add sources as in my earlier post (both deb and deb-src), best is to copy them in so no mistakes are made.

• Reload package list in Synaptic

• Search for libwxbase2.8-0-ansi and libwxgtk2.8-0-ansi and install them as well as qjackctl

• Download the grandorgue.deb from sourceforge right-click and install with GDebi

Hope that helps.
