Agordejo dependencies

AnthonyS

Hello,
I have a problem to install Agordejo. When I check the dependencies I get this message
Checking Dependencies
Python version is: 3.8.10, required >= 3.8
Py-Qt version is: 5.12.8, required >= 5.0
PyXDG for Python3 >= 0.27 is required but it's not installed. https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pyxdg/ . Aborting.

But when I check PYXDG I have this message
python-xdg is already the most recent version (0.26-1ubuntu1).
If you like someone could help me because my skills are limited
Best Anthony

Hi,

thank you for your interest in Agordejo.
There is nothing you have done wrong. But also nothing you can do easily.
Ubuntu and Debian are just super slow when it comes to software updates. pyxdg 0.27 was released in october 2020. That is typical.

You can either compile pyxdg yourself (that has a chance to succeed) or you can ask the distribution to update the package. And while they are at it package Agordejo as well.

hello first of all I thank you for your help.
I'm new to linux but I managed to install pyxd.
Unfortunately, when I launch the software I get the following message:

$ agordejo

I am a physics teacher with teenagers and I would like to use the software and the arduino with my students to interest them. It's a bit complicated when you don't know linux
thanks again

The error message you are getting is because you have not installed "NSM".
That is a different software: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager
Agordejo is a graphical user interface for NSM. Agordejo does not include it.

That said, your mention of physics and Arduinos makes me to ask you how Agordejo fits in this role? Agordejo is a software for music production (or similar) with only a very narrow usecase.
What do you hope to use it for?

Also, since you mentioned you are new to Linux, please be aware that none of what you are doing should be done by you. This is entirely the fault of Ubuntu. Their job is to do these complicated setups once so everyone else does not have to do them.

For comparison: In Manjaro you just would have to install Agordejo from their software downloader and that's it.

irst of all a big thank you.
My students don't like math and physics that much. I would like to illustrate my lessons with music.
Arduino : make a simple midi controller (chapter on electricity and programming).
Patroneo : mathematical suite and study of sound frequencies.
Well I'm embarrassed because I have completely switched to ubuntu. Too bad I'll test on manjaro.
Once again thank you, I think that my project will be complicated
Once again your answer confirms the interest of open source and I will continue to leave Windows for good
