So IS there any sequence software for Linux? Not just Vixen running under wine. And don't misunderstand, I like Vixen, I'm just a terrible housekeeper and I don't do windows.

Well,I have been waiting for Mono to catch up, but none that I am aware of. There may be some midi software out there and if you want to control lights using midi , that will work.

I'm in the middle of writing a Linux sequencer/player now. I was hoping to have it ready earlier in the year but... yeah, we all know how that goes. I still plan to run my lights with it this year but it'll still be pretty experimental at that point. I'll post more info if people are interested, as this develops.

I'm really excited to hear about your project. What language are you using? I hope you will at least consider open sourcing the project. Linux is in need of a good Open Source light sequencer. Vixen is great software, but even though there are feature requests it is been at the same version for at least a year.

I put the first alpha code up at lumos.sourceforge.net the other day. My plan is to get the native sequence editor working by mid-2009, but this software (running on Ubuntu) did run my own lights this year, using Vixen to edit the sequences and then importing them into my own tool (Lumos) for playback on Linux. It is implemented in Python and should be platform-independent.

Sorry if dragging up old topics is frowned upon, but, after struggling with Wine and Vixen, I'm hoping that Lumos may let me get things running easier on my Linux system.
Steve, are you still around? Doing anything with Lumos? Do you want some help with it?

Holy cow, I've been away from the forum a lot longer than I planned!
Yes, I'm still working on Lumos but other life priorities made me put int on the back burner too long. For this year, I'm adding the ability to play music tracks in sync with the lights (still experimental but it seems to work ok so far).
The big problem is that I haven't had time to work out a sequence editor and other GUI tools for it, so I still have to write the sequences in Vixen and then copy them over to Lumos to play on my hardware (which is (a) on Linux and (b) a controller Vixen doesn't support.)
I'm planning to get the music-enabled version of Lumos released on SourceForge this weekend.

It's up on sourceforge now. This adds audio playback with the sequence. Still experimental "alpha" code, but it's running my Christmas lights now at my house, on a FreeBSD system this year (previous years I have used Ubuntu Linux and Windows 7 successfully).
