Talk:LLA, OpenDMX USB and Q Light Controller Tutorial

Is this tutorial minded on a specific interface? That's what the title says :) Although the procedure is similar for other devices.

What is "Erwin Rol's driver" meant to do? (is it to support some specific hardware that is not supported directly by LLA?) LLA uses the driver to support the enttec open dmx.

The first time QLC is run int the tutorial, it is run as root. Why? Good question - this should be removed. I think it was probably added to get around any permissions problems with the devices but this isn't the way to solve the problem.

It would be nice if the intro explained what you can achieve over a default installation of LLA+ QLC from the repositories.

Problems regarding install under kubuntu

Hi there!

I've got a problem while trying to follow the install tutorial. At first, not the device /dev/dmx is created but /dev/dmx0

Secondly, when I try to start the llad, the daemon aborts in the artnet region:

Failed to open lla-artnet.conf:  No such file or directory
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
 what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
Aborted

Any idea what this could be? Thanks, CJ --79.245.72.170 15:18, 1 June 2008 (PDT)

Solution found ?

Hi CJ,

Did you manage to get it working in the mean time ?

I have exactly the same problem.

Regards,

Bruno
