Dave Royal posted a comment on ticket #77
I normally use Linux but I occasionally test the changes I make to EasyABC on Windows, now, Win 11. I've never had WMP installed: I use fluidsynth. It's a while since I set up this Win 11 machine (and I transferred some stuff from Win 10). In case you want to try it, here are some notes I made at the time: Downloaded fluidsynth for windows from here https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/releases/tag/v2.4.2 Created dir easyabc/bin/fluidsynth and copied into it the contents of bin in that zip file...

There is, I read, a Windows Explorer Cache. Try clearing that.

I suspect this is a problem with the Jan 26 Windows update, which seems to be causing similar problems. This, for example, seems to be connected to MS accounts: https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows/windows-11s-2026-goes-from-bad-to-worse-as-two-new-bugs-cause-havoc-crashing-apps-but-there-are-possible-fixes I don't use Windows much but ISTR that, by default, it starts by trying to save to OneDrive, which might involve your MS account if you have one. Does the problem occur if you save the...

Christian S/subi900 (bagpipes) successfully installed edogawa23's package on Nobara (I hadn't heard of it) which is based on Fedora 42: https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues/126#issuecomment-3531519218 The packages are here: https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Aedogawa&package=easyabc

Google the words "unconfirmed" "crdownload". It's a failed download done by Chrome browser.

CamStLouis (bagpipes?) and LaurieSavage (sax) have successfully installed bodo/bomm's deb package on Mint (Laurie in v22.2 - Zara). I installed it earlier on Debian v12 Bookworm on a 20 year old 32-bit laptop. (Which has since become 64-bit running Debian v13 Trixie.) See also my post here about packages and 'pip': https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues/126#issuecomment-3315249941

Edgar Aichinger has just built some EasyABC packages for rpm-based systems - OpenSUSE and Fedora. https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues/126#issuecomment-3311489828

Googling that error revealed only one instance on RPi+bookworm (in tauri) but several on recent-ish Arch/Fedora/Suse systems. They seem to be caused by gtk/wayland/graphics driver bugs. Fixes included rolling back gtk or adding a parameter to disable something, e.g. vulkan. If this is 32-bit bookworm, as you suggested in the linked discussion, you could try 64. Trixie is 64 only so you might as well change now if you think you might go there eventually.

Corrected Debian versions - thanks. And for attempting to post to FB. The admin of that group invited information on using Linux so he ought not to object.

Bullseye (Debian 11) has Python 3.9 Bookworm (Debian 12) has Python 3.11 Trixie (Debian 13) has Python 3.13 EasyABC v1.3.8.7 from Sourceforge will not run on Python 3.11 Recent downloads from Github will run on Python <= 3.13

Thanks. Details of a new install would be useful. If you wait a bit you may be able to install Trixie, which is currently available for testing. If you happen to be a member of Facebook, could you post a link to this discussion over there, perhaps in this thread.

Recent questions on Facebook and abcusers about moving from Windows 10 to Linux prompt me to post this here, as this site is generally accessible. Development of EasyABC is done on Github. I created an 'issue' on github to help to help new Linux users install EasyABC. Please read the inital post there: https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues/126#issue-2887633971 Github is a site for delevopers and too technical for most users. So here's what you need to know as a Windows user moving to Linux and wanting...

Please can you post a link to where you downloaded 'Guido's latest binaries'. See comment below. Several of us are successfully running EasyABC on Linux from the python sources on github, which are a newer than the released version 1.3.8.7. If you want to try that you might find this helpful: https://github.com/jwdj/easyabc/issues/126 No Fedora instructions yet, but probably similar to SuSE. Edited to add: I discovered that abcnotation.com says there are Linux binaries on Guido Gonzato's ABC Plus...

I don't use Mint (or Ubuntu) but downgrading Python below the Linux system version could be unpredictable unless you use a virtual environment. Anyway, unless you want to run an old version of EasyABC I would download a new snapshot of it from github - the big green button here: https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC That has been updated for Python 3.13 (I think that's self-consistent after the very recent bunch of commits.) I know that someone currently commenting there is running a recent snapshot of...

EasyABC uses abcm2ps to convert ABC into the score you see of the screen, and that governs the size of the pdf. There are parameters you can change, one of which is 'scale' which is set by default (on mine) to 0.75. Try this: In Settings, ABC settings, abcm2ps enter -s 0.9 into Extra Parameters. That should make the stave bigger. Try other values - e.g. -s 1 until it suits you. Google abcm2ps command line options to find other parameters. Caveat. I'm using v1.3.8.7 on Linux - but I assume it'll work...

The latest Mac versions were produced by Werner Schoenfeldinger, see here https://sourceforge.net/projects/easyabc/files/EasyABC/1.3.8.7/ I suggest you email him - see his blog. He'll know whether it's possible to run on your old Mac.

Are you using python 3.10 If so this https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues/52 suggests you might try 3.9. See also other github issues related to Linux including by me (revad) https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues That linux readme is very old. Are you really running 1.3.8.6?
