Hi @gambit,

probably a good idea to supply some more information, which is:

  • You should have a look at the log files and post what’s in there. Look for a directory (path) in your home folder names .sonic-pi/log and post the content (especially the obvious error messages).
  • Also interesting would be on which Ubuntu version your Elementary OS is based,
  • which Sonic Pi version you are trying to use and
  • how you installed it.

I don’t know if I can help but with more information about your setup the chances that someone can, will increase :slight_smile: .

So welcome Italy !

you don’t specify which spi version you’re using and how you have installed it ? Do you build it from sources or install via flat or a specific app center ?
Elementary OS 5.1 is based on which version of Ubuntu ? (hard to find the information on the official website of Elementary OS, it’s strange when you think they use the work made by ubuntu… Bref…)

in order:

  1. i was wrong sorry, my distro is:

done, change nothing :confused:
is it normal that now i have two folders in /home? (./sonic-pi and /sonic-pi)?

i don’t know…

.sonic is a hidden folder created by sonicpi to store some files needed for its running as example error log files. The other folder sonicpi was created during the installation. (sorry for my english i’m french :slight_smile: )
