Stuck making it work

[Pablo Rodriguez Zivic]

Hello!

First of all, the project is great! It really opens the game for playing. Now I want to use it! =D

I installed everything, and run ChucK and "A miracle! Chuck runs." hahaha.

The problem is that the "Features Setup" tab doesn't get enabled...

Any clues?

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and java version 1.6.0_22 and chuck version 1.2.1.3

Thanks!!

Hi Pablo,

A few questions:

- Can you verify that you're not running any other chuck process (i.e., no command line chuck, no miniAudicle) simultaneously to wekinator?
- Can you verify that you're not running any other program that's using ports 6448 or 6453 on your machine? In particular, other programs using OSC might be using these ports by default. (They're the ports used for OSC communication between chuck and java.) (You might also try turning off any firewall or other process that would be blocking ports for security reasons).
- If you check the above and it still doesn't work, can you quit wekinator, restart it, click on View --> Console, then run chuck, and copy & paste the contents of the console window into an email to me?

If nothing else, you should be able to work around this problem by configuring chuck as usual on the first pane (i.e., selecting either a chuck synth or an osc synth, setting # of OSC parameters, etc.), then hitting "Export as .ck file" within the chuck configuration popup window. Save it as a file somewhere (e.g., config.ck) on your system. Then back in the main wekinator window, in "Chuck &OSC setup", hit "advanced". Then open a terminal, navigate to the directory where you saved the config file, and run it using chuck: (i.e., "chuck config.ck" assuming chuck is in your path).

Let me know if this works.

There was no chuck processes before I run wekinator, and after y press the button "run cuck" there was  only one

There are no processes using that ports (I run a port scanner), and I have no firewall

The console remains empty =( I can send you the standard output and error (java -jar dist/Wekinator.jar  >& stdout_and_err). It's attached

I don't know if I'm following you. I understand that this walkaround is for running chuck. I think I managed to accomplish that (I downloaded the sources and compiled it manually). The problem is that chuck starts running but the features tab is not enabled (I attached the screenshot).

Again, thanks for the quick answer!

Hi Pablo,

It appears that either chuck is not running correctly or, possibly, the OSC connection between chuck and Java (within wekinator) is not being made correctly. The workaround will ensure that the proper executable for chuck is being run, and will simplify the chuck-java handshaking process a bit. Let's take this discussion of the mailing list and figure out the problem.
