Wa Alaikumassalam,

Did you install Zekr from instructions here?

Well, actually i run it from the tarball :D , and run the given script
via the console.
Now i should start with the new installation method.
Thank you for pointing out the link.

Tarball has some benefits, as it doesn't have bug with scrolling to selected aya. However, our recitation support in Linux has some bugs, using OpenJDK or Sun-JRE:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/zekr/+bug/622663

With Sun, it may play without hanging or issues like "master gain not supported", but in this case, no other application should try to play something with sound adapter.

I follow your suggestion and used PPA repository to install. ( im using ubuntu 10.04 ). Luckily i can play the recitation. I already install sun jdk and i have similar issue like in here. and suddenly it hanging there for minutes. I should kill it inorder to close the program. 

maybe i should go back to windows just to play the program :D , though i like the spirit of opensource in the contrary :D.

Assalamu'alaikum,
I had similar problem in Ubuntu 10.04 and I decided to temporarily go
back to the most stable version I ever knew, Zekr 0.7.1.

anyone please???

Salaam,

OK, I was able to find a workaround for some sound issues. If this issue is fixed, I can write a complete installation guide on Linux to workaround any known issue.

1. You should set your Java to Sun JRE (OpenJDK's audio support is too limited). This can be set globally using these instructions, or locally, by setting the following line in ~/.zekr/zekrrc-debian:

ZEKR_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

If you do step one, you won't see any problem like:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Master Gain not supported

2. After switching to Sun JRE, hanging problems or master gain problems will resolve. But as Java audio tries to get exclusive access to sound adapter, no other application can use sound adapter when Zekr is open. Otherwise you will see exceptions like this:

net.sf.zekr.engine.audio.PlayerException: javazoom.jlgui.basicplayer.BasicPlayerException: Cannot init line

...

Caused by: javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException: Audio Device Unavailable

In order to workaround above issue, you should force Zekr (and Java) to use OSS interface (Open Sound System) and this can be achieved by wrapping Zekr with padsp. So open a console and write the following command to launch Zekr:

$ padsp zekr

This should resolve any sound-related issue for Zekr. Please let me know if you still have problems with audio on Linux.

Mohsen

Assalamuaikum,

I forget to mention that i'm using linuxmint 9 right now. ( i assume it is based from ubuntu 10.04, right?? ). So, when set java to sun java locally in ~/.zekr/zekrrc-debian, still got error messages while i adjust the volume in zekr. Then i set it globally, i got these messages :

"

"

After thinking a while, i fired up package manager and start looking for something that contain sun and java. I found a package called sun-java6-jdk, so i install it. I invoke command "sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun" again. The result is all error messages above is gone except this :

"

update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so.

update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so for mozilla-javaplugin.so not registered, not setting.

update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so.

"

I assume that was error messages for mozilla plugin or something. So, i ignored it.

Done your step 1, so i fired up zekr again, tried to adjust its volume and these buggy error messages still showed up :(

I stopped at step 1.

Wa Alaikumassalaam,

I think you are still on OpenJDK. Could you please send me your
~/.zekr/zekr.log.

BTW did you install from our PPA repository?

I did a sneak peek to zekr.log, and i think i still use openJDK. :( . I don't know where failure is. I already invoke command "sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun" which is goal is to set java to use sun java 6. Btw, i attached zekr.log, and yes i installed it from the ppa repository.

Thank you.
