App not working in version 2.9 after adoption of sounddevice

[raimondl61]

Hi,
I'm working on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
I've installed "pip" via "sudo apt install python3-pip"
I've installed "sounddevice" via "python3 -m pip install sounddevice"
The app still not working with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "OdfEdit.py", line 165, in
import sounddevice as sd # install with : pip install sounddevice
File "", line 1027, in _find_and_load
File "", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked
File "", line 688, in load_unlocked
File "PyInstaller/loader/pyimod02_importers.py", line 419, in exec_module
File "sounddevice.py", line 71, in
OSError: PortAudio library not found
[5572] Failed to execute script 'OdfEdit' due to unhandled exception!

Could you please help me to make the app working?
Many thanks

I tested OdfEdit v2.9 in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as well and it works.
It seems that you have to install PortAudio library on your Linux machine, try this command :

apt-get install portaudio19-dev python-all-dev

as indicated here : https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/blob/main/scripts/readme-gen/templates/install_portaudio.tmpl.rst

If it does not work, try this :

sudo apt-get install libasound-dev portaudio19-dev libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libav-tools

I go on installing and installing and installing packets...

Now I seam to miss ./resources/OdfEdit.png

I must have gone astray somewhere.

[eturpault]

Are you executing OdfEdit.py with Python engine or with the binary of OdfEdit ?
In the first case, you have to recover the full source code in the assets of the release page : https://github.com/GrandOrgue/OdfEdit/archive/refs/tags/v2.9.zip

[jason-barba]

The first, i.e. python 3 ./OdfEdit.py

Is there a binary for Ubuntu?

[eturpault]

Yes there is binary for Linux (tested in Ubuntu), it is available in the assets of the release page https://github.com/GrandOrgue/OdfEdit/releases/tag/v2.9, it is the file OdfEdit-2.9-linux.zip

[jason-barba]

OK :-)
Ubuntu for dummies question: How do install the Linux binary? And what is the execute command?

[eturpault]

Just unzip the unique binary file OdfEdit which is inside the archive OdfEdit-2.9-linux.zip, then double-click on it in the file explorer to execute it.
If it does not want to run, right click on the OdfEdit binary file, in the properties menu there is an option to allow the execution of the file as program (I don't have Ubuntu running in front of me, I don't remember the name of the option).
Have a look at this page https://www.itprotoday.com/linux/mastering-file-permissions-linux#close-modal in the chapter "Modifying File Permissions in the GUI"

Thanks for advice. Back when I have tried that.

Success! Thansk a lot.
