[linux-equivalents] TuxGuitar

If you play the guitar and are looking for a decent replacement for
Guitar Pro, TuxGuitar may be what you're looking for.
It isn't quite there yet, but it looks very promising.

Interesting. Looks nice. There is a tuxguitar in the debian repositories
too. its vsersion says 1.01 yet the one at the site says 1.0. The one in
the debian repository does not work:
/usr/bin/tuxguitar: line 142: /usr/lib/java/jre/bin/java: No such file
or directory
And yes, i do have the Sun JRE installed.

That's odd. I was just doing some work in TuxGuitar on my own Debian
box (using Lenny 32bit here). Works just fine.
I just took a look at that line and it calls on the Jave environment
vars. Odd that it doesn't work for you...
I also have Guitar Pro running in wine. Works like a charm as well :-)

Java in debian is f*cked up. I suspect the debian tuxguitar installer
has broken something.
But were you using the debian install or the downloaded version? Be
clear now.

Ah, the Debian one over here.

Either that, or you don't know what you're doing, or it's just another Quack
line of b.s. about "buggy" Debian.

Tuxguitar installed and runs fine, no crashes, no error messages.
Perhaps if our diminutive atomic sub particle had properly
installed it per directions, it would have worked without error.
But what would you expect?
Debian Stable is one of the most widely used distros for mission
critical applications and where one wants minimal impact to
production work. Very few require bleeding edge software to be
productive.
Yet Hadron insists that Debian Stable is full of bugs and too
backward for usage:

Once more for the hard of brain power : I use testing. Not
unstable. And I use it for a reason - Debian Stable is simply too
buggy and backward and I cant be arsed to manage pinning or
selectively monitoring backports.

If you choose to ignore your distro's repos and install upstream
packages from Sun, then naturally you're going to have to manually
configure those packages. Try removing Sun's package from /opt and
install Debian's package where it's supposed to be instead.
> Ah, the Debian one over here.
Yes, the rest of us do actually know what we're doing. I don't think
anyone seriously expects Hardon to ever get anything right.

Of course not, Quack's already *proved* he's totally incompetent when it
comes to linux. According to that idiot troll, Linux didn't exist 10
years ago!

Well, 17 years ago, anyway... the first posting was in 1991, I believe,
so it's now about 17 years old, although in generally usable form,
probably < 10 years. The first few years were pre-installs only,
specific uses, and technical people focussed, although for basic web &
email, linux has been highly usable for over 10 years.
Can we get him accelerated around this:

Java is screwed up even under Windows.
It's a horrible experience from the end users POV.

Well, I'll be the last one to say you can only use the official Debian
repos to keep a sane system, using lots of different sources for my
packages myself. But you must be prepared to things breaking, and some
manual config to solve it.
Knowing how to use apt helps a lot also.

In this case the manually installed one worked. The debian one not.
See link above.

I installed it using synaptic. There is nothing to know. On my system
with eclipse installed it simply did not work.
once again : see the link above.

I believe that when Java is installed in /opt one has to set and export
the JAVA_HOME variable to point to that location before Java dependants
can locate it. I presume Sun's package doesn't do that, but it's been a
while since I messed around with the upstream version, since I've been
using GNU gcj until comparatively recently, when IcedTea was released.
> Knowing how to use apt helps a lot also.
If Hardon can make the effort to download and install upstream packages,
then he should certainly be able to use something relatively simple like
apt.
