harmonySEQ

harmonySEQ aborts at startup

Asked by Larry Holish

Running pretty up to date Debian unstable. Installation went smoothly. This is the msg I get:

ljholish@cairo:~/builds/harmonyseq-0.14$ harmonySEQ
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Glib::FileError'
Aborted

Let me know if there is something I can do to help debug this issue further.

And here is (some of ) what strace says:

Could you please check whether file "/usr/local/share/harmonyseq/icons/hicolor/24x24/actions/harmonyseq.png" exist?

And, moreover, whether file "/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/harmonyseq.png" exist?

No to the first question, yes to the second. Here are the contents of directories you asked about:

ljholish@cairo:/usr/local/share/harmonyseq/icons/hicolor/24x24/actions$ ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 1088 Apr 5 09:01 metronome.png

ljholish@cairo:/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps$ ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 2845 Apr 5 09:01 harmonyseq.png

I don't find a 24x24 png in the source tarball either:

ljholish@cairo:~/builds/harmonyseq-0.14$ find . -name harmonyseq.png
./pixmaps/32x32/apps/harmonyseq.png
./pixmaps/48x48/apps/harmonyseq.png
./pixmaps/192x192/apps/harmonyseq.png

Ok, got it! HarmonySEQ wanted to load the metronome icon, but due to my fault it looked for "harmonyseq.png" instead of "metronome.png". I have just fixed that in the trunk, so the upcoming release won't have this bug.

Temporary workarounds for harmonySEQ 0.14:
a) rename manually /usr/local/share/harmonyseq/icons/hicolor/24x24/actions/metronome.png to harmonyseq.png
OR
b) install harmonySEQ to /usr instead of /usr/local
OR
c) change the patch in the source: file src/main.cpp, line 219 SHOULD be:
        metronome_icon_24 = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file("/usr/local/share/harmonyseq/icons/hicolor/24x24/actions/metronome.png");
compile & install

Choose whichever solution you like, they all should help.

And great thanks to you for reporting that bug! :)

Thanks for the workaround, I'm up and running. And thanks for making your sequencer available to the linux audio community!
