Am running AVLinux, based on Debian testing. QSampler locked up a lot, so I tried JSampler Fantasia. Got error popups. First I got:
Code: Select all
Updating database directory: Cannot open instruments database: /var/lib/linuxsampler/instruments.db
So I created directory /var/lib/linuxsampler, set it to group ownership 'audio', set it to g=rwx. QSampler locks up a lot less, but still a bit; JSampler gave me this:
Code: Select all
Updating database directory: DB error: no such table: instr_dirs
How do I create this database???!???!
J.E.B.

the whole /var/lib/linuxsampler/instruments.db is new so I am not sure what is happening because I do not use it. However:
linuxsampler --create-instruments-db my_instruments.db
and
linuxsampler --instruments-db-location my_instruments.db
will work for you. I use fantasia only for tweaking and start linuxsampler command line from a script
So once the setup is done I do not use the gui anymore.

And then in Fantasia choose
Window/Instruments Database and in the
Instruments Database window choose
Actions/Format Database.

So this is still massively broken:
Why doesn't it create that directory? Any other tool will happily create any . directory.
Then formating it works, BUT when I add an instrument to it, then it hangs forever with the message
"Updating database directories"
I just added one single instrument to it. Is this feature just broken and nobody ever uses it?
