Ubuntu packages

For Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), there's a PPA containing binaries for Ladish, Laditools and Jack2 (with classic jackd and jackdbus enabled):

 https://launchpad.net/~ladi-team/+archive/ppa/

To install, just run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ladi-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install ladish laditools

To get the latest git versions of ladish, run:

sudo apt-get install ladish-git laditools-git

Additional packages are available, containing applications that support the ladish lv1 method.

Just check the PPA page for details.

After installation, check the tutorial

Have fun!

A note about the new "unity" interface in newer versions of Ubuntu: The unity interface uses appmenu for global menus. This causes gladish to crash with a segmentation fault. In order to bypass appmenu for gladish, add the following environment variable (e.g. to your ~/.pam_environment file):

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=gladish

After you add this line to ~/.pam_environment, you will need to run:

source ~/.pam_environment

If you want gladish to start from the application menu, you'll probably need to log out and log back in.
