Need Help Installing DSD into Ubuntu

[ilgrant]

Ryan-

1. A discriminator tap is required
2. The Program will not work in Windows. A Linux OS of some sort is required.
3. Read the following threads..

Hi All,

I just installed Ubuntu on a spare Dell PC and installed DSD. I am getting the audio error messages previously mentioned in this thread. Specifically after typing DSD -r I get:

Error, couldn't open /dev/audio
ioctl reset error
ioctl speed error
ioctl stereo error
ioctl setfmt error
Audio Out Device: /dev/audio

Audio seems to work ok (I checked audio properties) and I don't have the audio properties windo open. One problem may be that I may not have compiled DSD mbeib in the right order due to an error but when I do DSD -h in ternmail I get the help screen.

Do I need to reinstall? How do I uninstall properly? Should I do anything else?

thanks,

 

[jcardani]

Don't know what i did but it is working now!

Trying to install on Ubuntu 8.04 and get the folloeing error message;

user@user-desktop:~/src/mbelib-1.1$ make
gcc -O2 -fPIC -I. -c ecc.c -o ecc.o
ecc.c:18:18: error: math.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [ecc.o] Error 1


Any ideas?

 

[tripleplay905]

I suggest you upgrade to 10.04.

After, I would try to run "sudo apt-get install build-essential".

 

[bigbud42010]

Ok. Well Im Running 10.04 The New One. And I Have Done Everything That Was Said To Do To Install DSD and im getting this out of terminal

just to let you know i'm not new to ubuntu either

louie@ubuntu:~$ mkdir src
louie@ubuntu:~$ mv ~/Desktop/*.tar ~/src
louie@ubuntu:~$ cd src
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ tar -xvf mbelib-1.1-src.tar
tar: mbelib-1.1-src.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ tar -xvf mbelib-1.1.tar.gz

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ cd mbelib-1.1/
bash: cd: mbelib-1.1/: No such file or directory
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ make

louie@ubuntu:~/src$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ cd ~/src
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ tar -xvf dsd-1.2-src.tar
tar: dsd-1.2-src.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ tar -xvf dsd-1.2.tar.gz
tar: dsd-1.2.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ cd dsd-1.2/
bash: cd: dsd-1.2/: No such file or directory
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
louie@ubuntu:~/src$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

and it take's the two files off my desktop and moves them in to a src folder in my home folder.

Hello all!

I am having exactly the same problem. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from a USB drive (using the method found here:
Create a Persistent Bootable Ubuntu USB Flash Drive - How-To Geek )

When I attempt to run the code on the first page of this thread in Terminal, I get the following:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mkdir src
mkdir: cannot create directory `src': File exists
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mv ~/Desktop/*.tar ~/src
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cd src
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ tar -xvf mbelib-1.1-src.tar
tar: mbelib-1.1-src.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ tar -xvf mbelib-1.1.tar.gz
tar: mbelib-1.1.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ cd mbelib-1.1/
bash: cd: mbelib-1.1/: No such file or directory
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ cd ~/src
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ tar -xvf dsd-1.2-src.tar
tar: dsd-1.2-src.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ tar -xvf dsd-1.2.tar.gz
tar: dsd-1.2.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ cd dsd-1.2/
bash: cd: dsd-1.2/: No such file or directory
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/src$ sudo make install

I have installed the build-essential package in Synaptic.

I am a massive noob with Linux, but I am trying hard! haha... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[pezcat19]

Ok, I have tried everything I can think of and have read countless threads but so far nothing seems to apply or seem to help!

Does anyone have any clues for bigbud42010 and I? Is this perhaps an issue with Ubuntu 10.04?

Pez

 

[Radioman96p71]

OK, the problem you are having is the build numbers have changed

When you try to decompress the tarballs, use these instead:
dsd-1.3.1-src.tar
mbelib-1.2.2-src.tar

so instead of 'tar -xvf mbelib-1.1-src.tar'
you should type 'tar -xvf mbelib-1.2.2-src.tar'

That is, of course, if you have the latest from the Wiki.

 

[pezcat19]

Well, don't I feel a bit stupid! ;-)

I cant believe I didn't pick that up! Sorry about the stupid question!

I have now managed to compile the code (I hope). I have gone to Terminal and typed the following:

"cd dsd-1.3.1" and then typed "dsd"

I get the following:

Digital Speech Decoder 1.3.1
mbelib version 1.2.2
Audio In/Out Device: /dev/audio

So from here I think I am good to go???

I am getting the audio error everyone else has had and although it has audio as soon as I type dsd there is no audio, yet it still works in the system properties.....this is really aggravating! lol
I tried the ideas here in this thread and on the ubuntu site as well
Any other ideas?

Yup thanks, saw it.

 

[steve0622]

Ver 10.10 WILL NOT WORK! It's do to changing sound card control from ALSA to PulseAudio and PulseAudio will not work with DSD. You need to backtrack to at least 10.04.
I tried to get some of those in the Ubuntu community and the DSD programmers to fix the issue with 10.10 but apparently no one cares enough to do it. I wasn't a fan of Ubuntu or even Linux before, and even less now because of their lack of careing if their programs even work. The more I use Ubuntu the less I like it, and the Ubuntu community even less.....

 

[steve0622]

ok...that would explain it....thanks for the info and i will be going back to an earlier version at some point this week and give the dsd another try.

I've used Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE as the desktop) as my work workstation and at home (for all but ham stuff) for 4 years now.

All was going along well until the Kubuntu Powers That Be decided to update to the latest version of KDE ... which broke everything on the desktop.

"But it's way better!"

It may well be, but if I can't make my desktop look and, more importantly, *work* like it did before, it's of no use to me.

I wasn't the only one - someone else built a distribution that uses the older (but still patched) KDE.

Had not heard that they'd swapped ALSA for Pulse. Seems like the same deal. Maybe someone will have a way to apt-get the ALSA stuff.

What I really need to do is try dsd with my home system. I already have the tapped 780 and the Kubuntu system. ::roll:

Had to type in the dsd install info!
