Ok, i did something when installing the new version, and it is broken.

Terminal Says:

Code:

ALSA lib pcm.c:2162:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so

Please help. Where can I download this shared library?

Thesandlord,
what os version do you use? Chinook or Diablo?

Latest update not working here either (N800 / 5.2008.43-7). From terminal I get "error while loading shared libraries: libhildonmm-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Hope this is helpful. Nice app.

Thesandlord, russell_t,

thanks for your report. Actually, at present, I have no any idea what is wrong. It works on my tablet fine, I tried updating from 1.2 to 1.3 via App Manger and I also tried uninstalling and installing again. It works fine, no problems with shared libs.
I new version of the app I had not added using of some new libs, so the old version of the app used these libs too, looks like after updating these libs got removed for some reason :-(.

Could you try uninstalling the app and then installing it from scratch? It should resolve all necessary dependencies. However, it is strange that these files were deleted on update.

By the way, do you have extras-devel repo enabled? If so, I guess it may have caused these problems, probably.

igagis,

Thanks for the suggestions; I disabled extras-devel then reinstalled 1.3.0-2 and still no go; installs but won't launch. Uninstalled 1.3.0-2 then tried installing all previous versions available at garage, and in each case the same missing-packages list was displayed, which halted installation:

libcairomm-1.0-1(>=1.2.0)
libglibmm-2.4-1c2a
libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a
libhildon-fmmm
libhildonmm
libsigc++-2.0-0c2a(>=2.0.2)

When I view the application details for 1.3.0-2 these six packages are displayed as well (but with varying parenthetical version descriptions).

Again, hope this is helpful information for you.

Hi russell_t,

don't try installing deb from garage, this will not resolve dependencies automatically, so, the behavior you observed is expected.

Installing 1.3.0-2 does resolve dependencies, this is why it installs. But it is very strange why it does not work for you. I have just reflashed my tablet with latest firmware which is 5.2008.47-3, the same as you have. And tried to install the theremin, it was successful, and it works, it starts normally, right from the menu.

It's strange that in your case it cannot find the file libhildonmm-1.0.so.1. Could you examine your /usr/lib directory and see if there are some files named libhildonmm* ?

I apt-get uninstalled SOMETHING when i installed the .2 update. That was when the problems started. When the .2 came out on the repo, app manager said it could not install. So i went to terminal, and it installed some extra stuff, and uninstalled two things.

I uninstalled and installed from the repo. Still does not work. It launches fine, but just will not play any sound...

Looks like Tear also uses this library?

Oh, and i have
libasound_module_ctl_bluetooth.so
libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.so

not pulse...

Thesandlord,

looks like you have your ALSA setup broken. I would not recommend you to install something with apt-get, use App Manager only. Once I also tried installing some ALSA update with apt-get and got the same effect, theremin was launching but did not play sound. I don't know how to fix it, I had to re-flash firmware to restore ALSA setup.

I've been playing around with Theremin the past fews days trying to memorize some songs on it. When I get good enough and not making mistakes I'll try and record/post some videos. This is coming from someone where the only piano experience I have is "Mary had a little lamb"

The songs I've been trying are:
"Mary had a Little Lamb" (for beginners)
The X-Men theme (which is pretty easy)
Super Mario Bros. theme music. (I've got half of this down so far... still haven't really tried the second, more quicker half)

Hi Nelson!

I'm looking forward for your videos, especially the Mario Bros. theme would be interesting!
