Guitar tuner app in latest release of OS2008

I already posted this as a response to a thread before I realized it was in OS2007 instead of 2008. Anyway, I'm trying to install the guitar tuner app from n770galaxy.blogspot.com and I get an error telling me the installation file is corrupted. Any advice?

Re: Guitar tuner app in latest release of OS2008

Don't have any advice, but I too would be interesting in using this if it can be made to work. :)

Re: Guitar tuner app in latest release of OS2008

Me too.
I play a 6 string Ovation & 12 string Takamine (with amazing action for a 12)

Installed tuner_0.0.3_armel.deb anyway and it seems to work fine. I played a 1KHz tone on my laptop and the tuner app counted exactly 1000Hz.

Re: Guitar tuner app in latest release of OS2008

another solution would be to find a flash-based tuner on the web somewhere (i've seen a few) and download it to your tablet

Re: Guitar tuner app in latest release of OS2008

Unfortunately, the microphone doesn't (yet) work in flash...

Re: Guitar tuner app in latest release of OS2008

I installed the deb file and it failed with a message that gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-extra was missing.

How do I find and install this file? If I do, will it work under Diablo?

Thanks.

It works for me under diablo. I had to install it via "apt-get" from an xterm.

But first you have to enable the base maemo chinook repository. In the Application Manager add a new repository with the following settings:

Code:

Catalog name: maemo (chinook)

Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/

Distribution: chinook

Components: free non-free

Quit Application Manager after it has refreshed the application list.

Then open an xterm and type the following:

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-extra

wget http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/n770galaxy/IT2008/tuner_0.0.3_armel.deb

dpkg -i tuner_0.0.3_armel.deb

(If you already attempted to install tuner_0.0.3_armel.deb via dpkg, you shouldn't need to (re)do the wget/dpkg steps.)

Afterwards, you should probably go back and disable the "maemo (chinook)" repository in Application Manager.

Re: Guitar tuner app in latest release of OS2008

As a followup, it looks like tuner_0.0.4-1 is now available from diablo's extra-devel repository.

Code:

Catalog name: maemo extras-devel (diablo)

Web address:  http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/

Distribution: diablo

Components:   free non-free

Re: Guitar tuner app in latest release of OS2008

Found it, installed it and it's great!
Thanks for the followup.
BTW, where is the mic on the N810? (I'm being lazy ~ I didn't search)
